Time Warner to unplug usenet servers
2008-06-05 19:14:00 The evil eye is getting sly in bandwidth rationing measures. For the those of you that are not familiar with the Usenet, it’s basically a giant distributed collection of bulletin or message boards covering every subject from fan clubs to art to obscure Os’s. It runs on thousands of servers that constantly replicate ...

2008-04-23 06:29:00 I've had one experience like this, on usenet - I was in a bit of a disagreement, and the person who was disagreeing with me abandoned his course of rebuttal and asked me instead of I was "black," because the name I was using sounded black to him, as if this had any bearing on our discussion.He made it clear that "black names" were a sign of stupidity to him, which is why he decided I had to be black. He also became very angry when called out on his racism.I've done call center work, too, and used to be fairly good with certain kinds of accents - it's interesting to me that if I could manage a passable Southern US or English accent, that people would perk up, but when they hear a spanish accent (as someone here said) or a name they associate with black people, they turn into complete assholes.

2008-04-05 01:17:00 I hope to try out usenet very soon.

Web Based News Leeching - NINAN - Usenet Made Easy
2008-01-16 13:20:00 Copyright Feed Content - OnlineTechTips - Aseem Kishore 18254532AKMK NINAN stands for NINAN Is Not A Newsreader, when I discovered this rather cool JAVA application a couple of years ago, that single piece of humour made me look twice at it. I am very glad that I did because it has become one of my most used applications. Many computer enthusiasts these days have a PC they use as a home server, usually running an FTP server, often a web server and for sharing files across their home network. I remember having a discussion years ago with a friend of mine about “the PC in the cupboard” that we both intended to set up as both a server and an Internet gateway, this was back before ADSL and CABLE modems/routers became available. I have had such a machine in my home for a decade or more now, and for the last 2 years NINAN has been installed as part of the application suite. How can I describe NINAN? Well I guess by saying it is a web based application, developed in JAVA that ...

What?s happening on usenet?
2007-09-14 06:10:00 Google Groups is a free service from Google where groups of people have discussions about common interests. Internet users can find discussion groups related to their interests and participate in threaded conversations, either through the Google Groups web interface, or by e-mail. Yahoo! Groups is a similar service from Yahoo! that provides electronic mailing lists. Over the years, Yahoo! bought several other mailing list providers, including the popular eGroups, and combined them with Yahoo! Clubs into one system. As well as providing e-mail relaying and archiving facilities for the many lists it hosts, the Yahoo! Groups service provides additional functions on the web site, such as voting and calendar systems and file uploading. As you might expect there are a number of relevant groups which have some great discussions. However, it’s difficult to keep track of these … until now! In this post I regularly present some of the discussions which I thought were interesting; ...

HDTV on Usenet
2007-02-10 23:29:04 “The first rule of Usenet is that you don’t talk about Usenet” “Hell, there are no rules here, we are trying to accomplish something.” - Thomas Alva Edison “Young men know the rules, but old men know the exceptions.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes If you are already familiar with Usenet then you can skip this article. For those that have never heard of it or are not very familiar then you may want to read on. I like to single out BitTorrents (p2p) but what if I told that of a 30 year old technology that today can be used to find almost an unlimited amount of almost anything; pictures, e-books, music, videos, movies, etc, etc, etc. Welcome to Usenet. Instead of going into the whole history I will summarize it by saying that it was created in 1979 by two Duke University students as a small communication network between a few universities in the United States used to trade information, news, and research results. Over the next 30 years it grew to the ...

Google Groups BETA = Usenet +
2006-12-29 20:02:01 Remember the time that Usenet wasn't free? Started by some folks at Duke University in 1979, Usenet became one of the biggest and most famous web boards. Today, it is Google powered, and of course free. The new Google Groups that is currently in BETA searches Usenet archives starting in 1981. On top of that it of course allows you to start your own groups, which we know from the old Google Groups. Some new features are introduced and Google is collecting feedback from users. Take a tour of the features offered. Virtually every subject is at least touched on in this vast base of information. If you think something is missing, start your own group, invite members, customize it how you want, and contribute to the web's free infobase.Subscribe to my RSS Feed instantly!
