Secondly, the vast majority of people have trojans on their systems and don't know it. These people deserve to be hacked, simple as that, if u're so bloody stupid that you download "FREE PORN.exe" then you deserve what's coming to you. Then you've got the other idiots that 'inadvertantly' download e-mail viruses. ie. "homework.txt.exe" Good job moron you've now installed 3 gigs of porn on your computer and your address book has now become a tool to fuck other morons, and the cycle continues. I hope you die. ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Jun 16, 2003 1:18 am ----------------------------------- Like my sister. I swear, she falls for EVERY FUCKING POPUP! "Mom! Mom! It says our computer has a virus!" "It says that we 'May be infected'!" etc. ----------------------------------- ShadowStorm Mon Jun 16, 2003 1:43 pm Re: FREE WEBHOSTING...?? ----------------------------------- only to those of u who help, im pretty sure this post(like the rest in this forum) will turn into a post about nonsical matter and have nothing to do with how it originally started...but try to help before you "spam"..thx) lol.. it's happened.... ----------------------------------- JayLo Mon Jun 16, 2003 2:28 pm ----------------------------------- http://www.compsci.ca/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=1235 :lol: ----------------------------------- Andy Mon Jun 16, 2003 3:01 pm ----------------------------------- http://www.freewebs.com/ 200 mb space no ads ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Jun 28, 2003 4:52 pm ----------------------------------- Ahh, hosting a site is not riske, But i can get and anyway...your not going to host a whole big company on your crappy comp are you? ( unless your dumb ) nothing important to steal from a home comp :). And also tracing an IP does not help in hacking much....all you can do is ping the guy as many times as you want (unless a guy like me, who has dynamic ip. They have to get my ip evertime i restart my comp...which is a pain :) ) But sitll...any hackers here? Tell me, termix-zero.ath.cx = hosted on ma comp :) ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Sat Jun 28, 2003 5:48 pm ----------------------------------- I hope that listed collection isn't your personal one Amailer :/ if it is... you have very very BAD taste in music ----------------------------------- Blade Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:57 pm ----------------------------------- he said that he's only going to use the server to test, and show the guy... see if he wants to buy it. and for that reason i would say, setup a server on your computer to save on bw and such stuff, it's not very hard to do. this way you just save your files in a folder... run localhost and browse to the file then get your comp to execute it for yourself, you can even execute php scripts in dos. ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Sat Jun 28, 2003 8:47 pm ----------------------------------- and if you're too lazy to set it up manually, I do believe there exists installers that will install apache, php and mysql all together and painlessly (not that setting them up manually is painful... but probably faster to use installer) ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Jun 28, 2003 10:11 pm ----------------------------------- I hope that listed collection isn't your personal one Amailer :/ if it is... you have very very BAD taste in music No....its a perl script and idk perl but...its not suppose to be on my home page but im woking on http://termix-zero.ath.cx/scripts/amailers so i have no time to work on the main site...so :) ----------------------------------- krishon Wed Jul 02, 2003 11:00 am ----------------------------------- doge thx for the site...i've been trying to find a good one for a while ----------------------------------- UBC_Wiskatos Fri Jul 04, 2003 9:11 pm ----------------------------------- lolz asok...ur right..that is my IP...i kno its easy to do...im just saying...thats not even half of the danger u place ur computer in if u use it as a server....especially if ur like me and have a gazillion games and songs on it..u dont want anytin to happen to ur comp... I think meant make an internal loopback server, where you access it via http://localhost. ----------------------------------- Amailer Fri Jul 04, 2003 10:14 pm ----------------------------------- 1 thing bad about have a web site..well its not but you can sometimes find your PH #/Address etc :) Doing an IP loog up/ping: http://opensrs.org/cgi-bin/whois.cgi TELL ME IF YOU WANT IT.. DAN YOU MAY DELETE THIS IF YOU DON'T "LIKE" IT..! ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Fri Jul 04, 2003 10:19 pm ----------------------------------- anyone can get that information about the owner of a domain by using a whois lookup.. which pretty much all domain registrars have... that information is not protected or special in any way :roll: ----------------------------------- Amailer Fri Jul 04, 2003 10:19 pm ----------------------------------- err ya...whats what i mean ----------------------------------- Asok Mon Jul 28, 2003 1:45 pm ----------------------------------- ok I have a different situation, I want to know what is the best host with the HIGHEST bandwidth cap. Tripod, my current host, has such a shitty bandwidth cap that I was locked out after just 30 minutes, and I don't even have much media on it! http://asok-asuk.tripod.com/ that's the site, consider yourself lucky if you can access it. I need a host with higher bandwidth caps. can anyone help me out? ----------------------------------- ftm Tue Jul 29, 2003 12:41 pm ----------------------------------- Who has found any extremely good free hosts. I use http://www.web1000.com but they dont have cgi-bin or php if you dont need those features and want a good 50 mb site with what appears to be no file restrictions (from what i've tried - and i had a ~3mb jpeg up) and you're allowed to do pr0n sites (if that interests you) ... and no the ~3mb jpeg wasn't pr0n... so what's the best free web host with php / cgi / mysql ? one that could hoost a phpbb ... i've searched around for a while ... and those sites posted earlier didn't help... maybe just cuz they didn't speak english... but i couldn't find the free web site signups... Thanks in advance ----------------------------------- JayLo Thu Aug 07, 2003 6:24 pm ----------------------------------- ftm? do you have a site to show me? mine's doesn't seem to be working. ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Thu Aug 07, 2003 11:29 pm ----------------------------------- heh i used to have a site on web1000 too i dunno what happend to it...http://darklegion.web1000.com/ any ways since yer doing a site to sell i'm guessing yer gonna use php here's a host i found recently it's pretty good no bandwidth limit no ads no file size limit and 100 mbs of diskspace... it suits me :D but yer yer address will be blah.com/blah/~you but u can change yer address using http://vze.com .... any way here's the sign up page http://www.deluxnetwork.com/pgs/plans.php if u dun wanna use that... download phptriad 2.2 from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9325&release_id=75430 i just dled it recently and works fine!! hope i helped man... ----------------------------------- Amailer Fri Aug 08, 2003 1:22 am ----------------------------------- http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9325&release_id=75430 i just dled it recently and works fine!! hope i helped man...
