Informal Poll : Enterprise

[RICoder]

The latest Informal Poll...what did all of you GEEKS think of it? (I count myself umongst the geeks).<br><br>Paul, I am waiting......

[Paul]

well i cant watch it coz the only downlaod of it currently available is about 8 times larger than anything i can download...<br><br>i've read the script loads of times and it rocks. cant say anything mor than that until some fool uploads a smaller file.

[Paul]

i found it on a site in wmv format - 80mbs but its going a 0.2k/sec so i gave up, then i found it on morpheus but thats 'remotely queued' it should die down i na day or two - its 56mbs for the whole thing - very low quality but at least i can see it. meh.

[fullerlee]

so has morpheus not buggered up your machine yet?

[Paul]

nope and it wont.

[fullerlee]

How can you be so sure, I've heard bad things about it.<br>I've got it but it now crashes pretty much as soon as I try to do anything in it.

[Paul]

maybe you're just lame

[Paul]

yay! i'm downloading it right now and i've already got a few minutes...

[fullerlee]

I'm pretty sure that's not the problem, being that i've been through a CS course at uni and been working as a programmer for 5 years.<br>it installs loads of adware and other shite and i think it's all that crap that's screwing up.

[Paul]

nothing wrong with my pc. no popup ads or anything... are you sure it doesnt ask to install these when you set it up?<br><br>i'm doing cs next year... is it any good?

[fullerlee]

I don't think there are any options when installing it. I may be wrong, but there's loads of comments on cnet.com which say the same thing.<br>CS - most of it was pretty good, maybe a bit basic at the start when it's trying to get everybody up to the same level, and some of the mandatory modules were a bit dull, but I did some pretty interesting stuff.<br>Where are you going to go? I was at Manchester (England if you'd not already guessed).

[Paul]

hang on, i just had an idea... a while ago i heard you could cheat alladvantage by simply making a program that had 'Internet Explorer' in its title... <br><br>i dont know if thats actually true but do these ads look for that too? because i renamed my IE windows to 'monkey'...

[Paul]

great, i'm doing it at cardiff. they love people from my city so just about all of us go there.

[fullerlee]

I did that a while ago. You have to do some other stuff to to 'simulate surfing' like wobbling the mouse and posting click messages to internet explorer. Oh, my program also removed alladvantage from the screen but it still worked. I've stopped using it now though.<br>Don't think the ads will look for that in the title, they make their own connections i think. I'm by no means an expert on this 'spyware' though, i only found out about it yesterday.

[RICoder]

Sooo, what did you think of it?!<br><br>I thought it was fucking awesome!<br><br>Prothos is cool, and t'pel is fucking hot!!!
