My god, I would pay to look at the face of any lawyer who's submitted the Ultimate Legal Proof of TSR Rights, read, plz in the title.

For the love of accuracy, neither "half" is correct.
You start out as a fertilized egg: the result is not a simple addition "half chromosomes in egg" + "half chromosomes in sperm cell". There's a complex interaction between the two parental half genomes, and the first cell of the new individual (which is the fertilized egg) is the ultimate result.

In a sperm (or egg) cell might exist "half" parent, not "half" child, at most, but it's not entirely correct even in this form.

Silly Kyna, OF COURSE!

Don't you know that every hacker (or better, cracker), soon after breaching someone else's server, always leaves a receipt detailing what exactly did they do?
That's how TSR knows, in detail, what data were sadly used against them (poor victims; there, there, have an handkerchief for your tears) and what data were totally safe. No doubt. This is exactly how professional businesses work. Right.

Thanks for the laugh, really. Did you got business lessons from Walt, by any chance?

If you really think your pseudo serious-business-corporation pose and blabber might be taken seriously by the people OUTSIDE of TSR brotherhood, you've been exposed to idiots for too long, and lose the grasp on the world out there.

But I guess you deserve each other, so everything it's ok; I'm even more glad, now, to be different from you and your oh-so-professional-and-mature attitude. I wouldn't have imagined it would be possible: good job.

Pity I'm NOT a pirate, hm?

Uh... right, I overlooked. It's irc.moreawesomethanyou.com IIRC; I'm on Winz partition now and can't check my old client settings (I should also get time to resurrect it, one of these days).

I would suggest you to fire up an irc client and login in #grah.


 

That's too much, I give up.

I feel particularly dense... I can't believe that....

You're saying that Walt took over the server and the domain, went around hiring server squads and professionals, and he didn't mind about the AUTHORITATIVE DNS entry? And none of his professionals also did?

Please, for god's sake, tell me that I understood wrong....

I guess Walt was more like "ZOMG a competitor! This dude wants to steal MY MONEIZ!!! My Professional Server Squad does the stuff only if I throw MONIEZ, therefore they have to be better than this Delphy dude! He gives informations for free OH NOEZ they must be false!!!111" Of course, he didn't listen.


And if he has the smartest idea to deny the creators to pull their stuff away, when those copies of CC will become stale while creators are busy updating and creating more elsewhere, heh...

I can't avoid to think that the new shiny server with gazillion processors will only led to Walt borking the site faster.

I second what count four said.

If he made up all that stuff (the InSim venture, AND his writings about global warming, AND the YouTube movie, AND... so on) on purpose, for a mysterious evil plan, like a mad scientist in Marvel comics, then he should be the most smart and well-known businessman in the world; how comes that he already isn't in "the most known and clever businessmen top ten"?

Probability should work:
- If conspiracy is true, then Walt is no less than an Evil Genius.
- If dumbassery is true., then Walt is exactly like the most part of typical clueless business managers all around the world.

I wouldn't bet on that.

That's the most shady part, at least to me; if the server is not online (unplugged or whatever), you'll get the message about "no server available" etc.
Then, if you're switching servers, I see no need to change IP (and corresponding DNS entries), just switch the box on the same IP, right? If you're about to keep both machines online, whatever the reason is, the new one will have a new IP, so what's the deal with this?
Unless (again) you're switching to another completely different service provider, maybe. New shiny server is perhaps located elsewhere (where do Walt's professionals come from). But even in this case, why they should care about easydns?

I wonder what the hell is goin'on, anyway, with insimenator.net. Apparently, even the authoritative nameservers have no tracks.


Would some techy one care to explain what this could mean, please? Clueless Marhis is clueless.

Dunno, the conspiracy makes sense, ok, but it doesn't fit well, at last, in too many details.

If Walt is a real businessman (a smart one), then the could have reached the same goal with no need of this convolute behavior. Businessmen don't like to reach a target following the most bizarre and twisted plot; they don't enjoy this way, engineers do. Walt can or can't be a businessman, but certainly is NOT an engineer.

I have to report what happened here.

I'm at work, I'm a secretary at a medical office; just about half an hour ago, it cames one of those phone calls from Hell, i.e. the caller continuously tells you to speak up because he's a bit deaf in one ear.
Needless to say, I had to repeat myself many times, raising the volume of my voice highter and highter, yelling at him I cannot shout louder than that, while he tirelessy keeps repeating to speak up 'cause he didn't understand anything.
Somehow, this short-circuited in my mind with the thought that Walt is deaf to any advice, and finally I heard me shouting on the phone: "WALT, PLEASE, I CAN'T SPEAK UP LOUDER THAN THAT, AND..."
Then I realized and burst into an hysterical laugh, with all the doctors and patients waiting looking at me in astonishment.

...If I'm gonna to be fired, I'll sue Walt's ass for sure...
