nuvolarihttp://arstechnica.com/software/news/2011/03/twitter-tells-third-party-devs-to-stop-making-twitter-client-apps.ars08:23
nlsthznnuvolari: clearly not?!08:23
nlsthznwow... kind of sucks me thinks :/08:27
nuvolariye, if you read the article08:38
nlsthznseems a silly reason... and I doubt any developer will stop :)08:40
nuvolarinlsthzn: well... I see kinda differently: they get a "screw you" from twitter, and they helped twitter became what it now is. Either there's going to be revenge or sabotage08:48

Symmetria155.232.191.0/2412:44
Tonberrytnx12:44
SymmetriaHow come?12:44
Tonberryneed to set up my firewall not to forward those ips to the university proxy12:45
Symmetriaaahh :)12:45
Symmetriayou might wanna do the same with 155.232.240.0/24 if you can :)12:45
Symmetria(which contains youtube and google and stuff)12:46
Tonberryoh12:46
Tonberrywonder if they allow that from here...12:46
Tonberrywill test12:46
Symmetriaheh try it and see :) lemme know as well, Im curious12:46
Symmetriaroot@mirror:/diskspace4/sourceforge# netstat -na |grep ESTABLISHED |grep -c 155.232.191.24512:50
Symmetria23912:50
Symmetriaheh ^^^ sourceforge12:50
Symmetrianice12:50
Tonberryi still have to pay for 155.232.240.0/24 @ Symmetria12:57
Symmetriathats lame12:58
Symmetriayou should whine to your IT department about that12:58
Symmetriasince its also local to the TENET network12:58
Tonberrylol12:58
Symmetria:) but yeah, spread it around that people at stellies can have sourceforge for free :P12:59
Tonberryi told my it department that our billing system is inherently flawed Wednesday, i think they are still a bit angry/rattled...12:59
Symmetria:P don't worry you arent the only one that has told them similar :)13:00
Tonberrymore stirring from me at the moment is probably not the best idea13:00
Tonberryi also told them exactly how to break it and tested it13:00
Tonberrya source ip is so easy to spoof....13:01
Symmetriayeah but how do you catch the return traffic?13:03
Tonberryyou cant13:03
Tonberrybut it does not matter13:03
Symmetriacause thats always the problem with spoofing tcp :)13:03
Tonberryyou can inflate another persons account13:03
Tonberryto any amount13:03
Symmetria(well, you can, but LOL, its more complex than most realize)13:03
Symmetriahaha well, if they are billing on outbound, yes, of course you can13:04
Tonberryand they do13:04
Symmetria:p see fakescan.c 13:04
Symmetriafrom when I was a young immature kid with way 2 much time on my hands :P13:04
Tonberrythere is no advantage to doing it13:04
Tonberrybut it does invalidate their billing method13:04
Symmetriatonberry haha fucking with some other student who is a prick is always fun :P13:04
Tonberrywell IT now knows i know how to do it13:05
Tonberryso i won't13:05
Tonberrybut yeah thats the general idea13:05
Tonberryand we have been having a lot of trouble with high internet accounts lately13:06
