Hopefully Greek’ll come back after he’s had a rest. He’s worked hard on the scraping issue, and probably needs some time to take care of his sites.

Rest assured it wasn’t me.. I’m too drunk to do that :highflyer
Too funny!!!!!:happy: :happy: :happy:
But really, get back here, Greek! We miss you.

LOL! :laugh: :laugh: :rollover:
Greek, we’re all eagerly awaiting your return. :highflyer
If I offended anybody I am sorry, but I think now things are moving in the right direction.
Combined with the very warm remarks and of course the scraped bottle of ouzo I feel more than happy to return!! CAP is my favourite place to be and always will be. I would appreciate if this was read by some.
During World War 2 George Stibiz developed in simple terms a calculator. As the techonlogy grew along side the cold war becoming more of a threat Licklider developed a Itergaltic network. The main purpose of this developement was a concern of the U.S Militaries over communication in case of a nuclear strike.
In 1968 Baran took things and step further. He proposed a network system that could be used for computers to communicate with via phone lines. The method he suggested was the use of packets.
During this time frame Sputnik had been lauched by the USSR. The U.S defence department became more alarmed over these events and in 1970 Petrik suggested a communications network be put in place. Petrik managed to convince the U.S Department of Defense. I will end it here.
I have mentioned Jargon quite a bit on this forum because it provides the Key to the whole internet. The Jargon file is a blueprint of the entire internet. Its a glossary of hacker slang and a collection of technical experts who gave rise to the internet. The people in Jargon are the pioneers of search engines, programs, in fact Bill Gates purchase his first script for $50,000 from a hacker. All programming languages have their roots in the Jargon file.
One of the first languages to come out of jargon was unix, imperfect it was. Linus Torvalds figured he could improve on the language and develeloped what we know today as linux. Although he made great improvmemnts, the problems persisted. The are well known exploits in linux which Google, Yahoo, and others know about.
I started playing around with computers around 1979. I learnt some stuff on a MItS Altair, and never stopped learning until one day dark day in 2000. Which I don’t care to mention. Because of my efforts and interests I have made some very close friends In Jargon. Regardless of what people think they are the internet and everything that goes with it. I do not know of any person or any company who can challenge the pioneers of the internet.
Under these circumstances, yes I do blow gaskets. Because I do know whats going on all the time. The 888.com thread from beginning to end was about making progress and dropping tibets of information hoping someone would draw some conclusions on their own. So when I was challenged on my findings or promises people were not only attacking me but also attacking Jargon, because each of my posts was taged. This caused me too worry because these people are not to be played with.
I have been permission to say this. Amongst the mirage ways of scraping, one in particular is most disturbing. I am not authorized to give exact details, but once a week a malicious hacker puts a script together and has scapers bid on it. These scripts are designed for specific sites. They are mainly gambling scripts The last one I saw was for bodog.com along with many others. I do my best to stop them, and in most cases I do, out of simple respect.
I believe in the persuit of the honest webmaster, honesty, integrity, and loyalty is my character. I enjoy helping out, offering advice and just plain being useful. But most of all I don’t like seeing people being screwed out of honest money and hard work, I know what it feels like.
To some extent the 888.com issue ended up in a better state. We as a team accomplished the goal to a certain degree. The thread was long a drawn out to acheive this goal.
I will be taking a few days off, just few. But will be back, I think Shelly will be doing her best form now on. Greek39
Welcome back Greek39. Yes, CAP rocks! :cheers:Glad you will be here in a while Greek.
Professor!!!
Be very carefull with the italians.
They are very capables to launch a massive attack to CAP wit GNOQUI SPINACCI, LUNETTE AL TARTUFO, MOZARELLA in CAROZZA and GAMBA DI PERNICHE (a red wine hard to stand for americans). :whoa:welcome back greek
your knowledge and research are much appreciated!
Lol!
The professor IS Italian!
I would enjoy a Campari attack myself!
Oh man, you had me worried
Well, the company CERN, located a few hundred feet beneath the ground in Geneva, Switzerland, invented the internet…they also create nuclear weapons there…you should see some of the wonderful stuff that goes on there…now that will really upset you, you’ll never be bothered again about things like 888.com and hackers, i promise
The whole principle of wireless communication was invented by my buddy Tesla, which was adopted by the government for the purposes of war, ability to communicate via wireless transmission
Oddly, the principle is based on the radio, which many people believe was invented by Marconi, but it was invented by Tesla, and that is now official
It seems that Tesla, who was partnered with Westinghouse, were at war with Morgan, owner of General Electric…Morgan with his wealth and political power backed Marconi and used his radio invention during the war
Marconi sued the US government for misusing his radio, and they stripped him of the “radio”, so the invention officially belongs to Tesla
During that time, like today, its a matter of who can invent more powerful weapons faster
Unfortunately, both geniuses, Tesla and Marconi were run out of town by the governments, Tesla was even thrown in a loony bin
I guess the point is that there are always those people who will rape someone of their hard work and use it for their own financial benefit…the government immediately comes to mind, but many people out there consider this “the way”
don’t let it get you down
“make some babies and grab a gun” is my philosophy
Aw, come on, everyone knows that AL Gore invented the internet!

Glad to hear you will be back. Your help and expertise are much appreciated.
Buddy:clapper:
Greek39, I’m glad you came back, i was starting to get a little worried. Me and everyone else appreciates the help you gave us and the heads up on scraping and I thank you for that, I would have never known. I also think anyone who took cheap shots at greek should be ashamed of themselves, since greek was only trying to help out other affiliates and he also helped me out also, and he got 888.con to shut down some accounts – real proof for 888 – real progress. He didn’t have to spend his resources for us. :fencing:
There probably wasn’t a single person, or very few that knew the knowledge that greek had for finding all the scrapers and handling the technical aspects of the situation, so we were all in the dark – or at least I was. So greek is sorta like the gaurdian angel looking over CAP and protecting us from the dark forces of hackers and technologies unknown to us!:highflyer
Greeek! I check out some of that Jargon file stuff. I thought it was pretty interesting and there really was alot of hacker slang in there. Altho I didn’t really understand alot of it, it was pretty cool and I promise I’ll sit down and look at it some more and try learning some more. :popcorn:
Thanks for all the help and returning – have a great vacation,
RyanWelcome back Greek!:clapper:
It wouldn’t have been the same without you.. for sure.
