Its a boring world we live in. Everythings is cut, dried and packaged for mass consumption.People get born, grow up and die.Spend 1st 15 - 20 years studying, then find job, business whatever, fall in love, get married, have kid(s), raise them , grow old and one day die. SOmetimes you die earlier or the stuff has minor variations but its more or less same everywhere.
Its been happening since..well..its the stuff that happens. But the time between getting born and dying couldnt be more boring.
We have fast cars, planes, rockets, internet, phones, cameras, billions of books, music, movies, more food than we can eat, ...etc etc..everything. Life is good, safe and clean. (Not for everybody, but everybody aspires to have that)
You live in cearly defined boundaries(more or less), know and abide by rules, get ruled by certain people, crib about it sometimes, make some noises and move on to do just what everybody is doing..live
But its not what I'd say fun or satisfying. May be its satisfying to some people...being cozy, safe and warm. It can be pleasurable...indeed it is pleasurable, bit how can you enjoy it if its all thurst upon you?
Living in a cocoon, abiding by rules that somebody else thought are good for you,(not saying go break rules for fun). Feeling delirious with fervour if some leader says, you have to fight for your country, religion and whatever stuff that gets you charged up. Everything is so predictable.
Even your passion is controlled by men in power. People are supposed to live like sheep, some guard dogs to put them in order and protect them from harm, and a shepherd to guide them. Sheep is harvested for wool and meat and it clothes and feeds its masters. Sheep don't have any mind of their own and they'd run off a cliff, walk meekily to slaughter.
It all depends on the whims of their master.
Since time immemorial people have been like that and will always be like that. A few strong men rule the stupid mob. Everybody is happy to be sheep as long as they are safe.
Why cant there be more adventure ?
1000s of unknown planets to explore, great missions to be accomplished, doing things that'll be unique and worthwhile.....I know, I know, its childish....but normal existence is tooo boring.
Many people have these kind of fantasies, but more often that not, they limit it to war heroics, religious extremism(bull shit) etc etc.
Earlier explorers like Livingstone, Columbus and countless others who dedicated thier lives to discover new horizons. There was suspense and a sense of expectation.
Now that feeling is missing. theres nothing on earth that hasnt been visited by man , well may be except for a few oceanic trenches.
Humanity hasnt set its foot upon any other planet yet and its unlikely to happen in my life span atleast.
Nothing else???
:|
Why cant life be like story books
. Something like Lord of the Rings,(just an example) some adventure to be had, hazard, pain, courage, love, fear, anger, joy, exultation, wonder, new discoveries..feeling everything as much as its possible...Being involved in something worthwhile and either finish it and exult in joy of something really glorious well done or to die accomplshing it. Both scenarios good enough, eh??
But this world isn't like that. Theres still a lot of stuff to be done, but nothing like above.
I can't be an great big evil overlord any more than anybody else being a ultra nobel, powerful good looking hero/heroine
:P
:P
Damn, its childish
:-*>
Who cares!!!
Nuke all who disgaree...na wait..let them be.just make them follow the herd.
Damn... I talk like I have everything ...
sigh
lifes unfair..another reason to say this ;)
Duran Duran sang in Ordinary World ::
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights the TV and the radio but still I can't escape the ghost of you
What is happening to me crazy some would say
Where is the life that I recognize, gone away
And I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say pride will tear us both apart
Well now pride's gone out the window cross the rooftops runaway
Left me in the vaccuum of my heart
What is happening to me crazy some will say where is my friend when I need you most gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive
Fuck it tooo...why survive in this ordinary world..
You all know how it ends..don't you ;)

Being Evil Overlord
You see, I have all the talents of being a really big, ultrapowerful evil overlord. But all evil dudes get defeated sooner or later. Every great guy failed due to some simple mistake...
But I know everything...
.<<<
Being an Evil Overlord seems to be a good career choice. It pays well,
there are all sorts of perks and you can set your own hours. However
every Evil Overlord I've read about in books or seen in movies
invariably gets overthrown and destroyed in the end. I've noticed that
no matter whether they are barbarian lords, deranged wizards, mad
scientists or alien invaders, they always seem to make the same basic
mistakes every single time. With that in mind, allow me to present...
The Top 231 Things I'd Do
If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord
1. My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass
visors, not face-concealing ones.
2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.
3. My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not
kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.
4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.
5. The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on
the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the
Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same
applies to the object which is my one weakness.
6. I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them.
7. When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you
kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll
say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought I'll shoot him
then say "No."
8. After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married
immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in
three weeks' time during which the final phase of my plan will be
carried out.
9. I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely
necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button
labelled "Danger: Do Not Push". The big red button marked "Do Not
Push" will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid
enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not
clearly be labelled as such.
10. I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum -- a small
hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.
11. I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need
to prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving my
weaker enemies alive to show they pose no threat.
12. One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any
flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before
implementation.
13. All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least have several
rounds of ammunition emptied into them, not left for dead at the
bottom of the cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as
any accompanying celebration, will be deferred until after the
aforementioned disposal.
14. The hero is not entitled to a last kiss, a last cigarette, or any
other form of last request.
15. I will never employ any device with a digital countdown. If I find
that such a device is absolutely unavoidable, I will set it to
activate when the counter reaches 117 and the hero is just putting
his plan into operation.
16. I will never utter the sentence "But before I kill you, there's
just one thing I want to know."
17. When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to
their advice.
18. I will not have a son. Although his laughably under-planned
attempt to usurp power would easily fail, it would provide a fatal
distraction at a crucial point in time.
19. I will not have a daughter. She would be as beautiful as she was
evil, but one look at the hero's rugged countenance and she'd
betray her own father.
20. Despite its proven stress-relieving effect, I will not indulge in
maniacal laughter. When so occupied, it's too easy to miss
unexpected developments that a more attentive individual could
adjust to accordingly.
21. I will hire a talented fashion designer to create original
uniforms for my Legions of Terror, as opposed to some cheap
knock-offs that make them look like Nazi stormtroopers, Roman
footsoldiers, or savage Mongol hordes. All were eventually
defeated and I want my troops to have a more positive mind-set.
22. No matter how tempted I am with the prospect of unlimited power, I
will not consume any energy field bigger than my head.
23. I will keep a special cache of low-tech weapons and train my
troops in their use. That way -- even if the heroes manage to
neutralize my power generator and/or render the standard-issue
energy weapons useless -- my troops will not be overrun by a
handful of savages armed with spears and rocks.
24. I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and
weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job,
at least I will never utter the line "No, this cannot be! I AM
INVINCIBLE!!!" (After that, death is usually instantaneous.)
25. No matter how well it would perform, I will never construct any
sort of machinery which is completely indestructible except for
one small and virtually inaccessible vulnerable spot.
26. No matter how attractive certain members of the rebellion are,
there is probably someone just as attractive who is not desperate
to kill me. Therefore, I will think twice before ordering a
prisoner sent to my bedchamber.
27. I will never build only one of anything important. All important
systems will have redundant control panels and power supplies. For
the same reason I will always carry at least two fully loaded
weapons at all times.
28. My pet monster will be kept in a secure cage from which it cannot
escape and into which I could not accidentally stumble.
29. I will dress in bright and cheery colors, and so throw my enemies
into confusion.
30. All bumbling conjurers, clumsy squires, no-talent bards, and
cowardly thieves in the land will be preemptively put to death. My
foes will surely give up and abandon their quest if they have no
source of comic relief.
31. All naive, busty tavern wenches in my realm will be replaced with
surly, world-weary waitresses who will provide no unexpected
reinforcement and/or romantic subplot for the hero or his
sidekick.
32. I will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad
news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are
hard to come by.
33. I won't require high-ranking female members of my organization to
wear a stainless-steel bustier. Morale is better with a more
casual dress-code. Similarly, outfits made entirely from black
leather will be reserved for formal occasions.
34. I will not turn into a snake. It never helps.
35. I will not grow a goatee. In the old days they made you look
diabolic. Now they just make you look like a disaffected member of
Generation X.
36. I will not imprison members of the same party in the same cell
block, let alone the same cell. If they are important prisoners, I
will keep the only key to the cell door on my person instead of
handing out copies to every bottom-rung guard in the prison.
37. If my trusted lieutenant tells me my Legions of Terror are losing
a battle, I will believe him. After all, he's my trusted
lieutenant.
38. If an enemy I have just killed has a younger sibling or offspring
anywhere, I will find them and have them killed immediately,
instead of waiting for them to grow up harboring feelings of
vengeance towards me in my old age.
39. If I absolutely must ride into battle, I will certainly not ride
at the forefront of my Legions of Terror, nor will I seek out my
opposite number among his army.
40. I will be neither chivalrous nor sporting. If I have an
unstoppable superweapon, I will use it as early and as often as
possible instead of keeping it in reserve.
41. Once my power is secure, I will destroy all those pesky
time-travel devices.
42. When I capture the hero, I will make sure I also get his dog,
monkey, ferret, or whatever sickeningly cute little animal capable
of untying ropes and filching keys happens to follow him around.
43. I will maintain a healthy amount of skepticism when I capture the
beautiful rebel and she claims she is attracted to my power and
good looks and will gladly betray her companions if I just let her
in on my plans.
44. I will only employ bounty hunters who work for money. Those who
work for the pleasure of the hunt tend to do dumb things like even
the odds to give the other guy a sporting chance.
45. I will make sure I have a clear understanding of who is
responsible for what in my organization. For example, if my
general screws up I will not draw my weapon, point it at him, say
"And here is the price for failure," then suddenly turn and kill
some random underling.
46. If an advisor says to me "My liege, he is but one man. What can
one man possibly do?", I will reply "This." and kill the advisor.
47. If I learn that a callow youth has begun a quest to destroy me, I
will slay him while he is still a callow youth instead of waiting
for him to mature.
48. I will treat any beast which I control through magic or technology
with respect and kindness. Thus if the control is ever broken, it
will not immediately come after me for revenge.
49. If I learn the whereabouts of the one artifact which can destroy
me, I will not send all my troops out to seize it. Instead I will
send them out to seize something else and quietly put a Want-Ad in
the local paper.
50. My main computers will have their own special operating system
that will be completely incompatible with standard IBM and
Macintosh powerbooks.
51. If one of my dungeon guards begins expressing concern over the
conditions in the beautiful princess' cell, I will immediately
transfer him to a less people-oriented position.
52. I will hire a team of board-certified architects and surveyors to
examine my castle and inform me of any secret passages and
abandoned tunnels that I might not know about.
53. If the beautiful princess that I capture says "I'll never marry
you! Never, do you hear me, NEVER!!!", I will say "Oh well" and
kill her.
54. I will not strike a bargain with a demonic being then attempt to
double-cross it simply because I feel like being contrary.
55. The deformed mutants and odd-ball psychotics will have their place
in my Legions of Terror. However before I send them out on
important covert missions that require tact and subtlety, I will
first see if there is anyone else equally qualified who would
attract less attention.
56. My Legions of Terror will be trained in basic marksmanship. Any
who cannot learn to hit a man-sized target at 10 meters will be
used for target practice.
57. Before employing any captured artifacts or machinery, I will
carefully read the owner's manual.
58. If it becomes necessary to escape, I will never stop to pose
dramatically and toss off a one-liner.
59. I will never build a sentient computer smarter than I am.
60. My five-year-old child advisor will also be asked to decipher any
code I am thinking of using. If he breaks the code in under 30
seconds, it will not be used. Note: this also applies to
passwords.
61. If my advisors ask "Why are you risking everything on such a mad
scheme?", I will not proceed until I have a response that
satisfies them.
62. I will design fortress hallways with no alcoves or protruding
structural supports which intruders could use for cover in a
firefight.
63. Bulk trash will be disposed of in incinerators, not compactors.
And they will be kept hot, with none of that nonsense about flames
going through accessible tunnels at predictable intervals.
64. I will see a competent psychiatrist and get cured of all extremely
unusual phobias and bizarre compulsive habits which could prove to
be a disadvantage.
65. If I must have computer systems with publically available
terminals, the maps they display of my complex will have a room
clearly marked as the Main Control Room. That room will be the
Execution Chamber. The actual main control room will be marked as
Sewage Overflow Containment.
66. My security keypad will actually be a fingerprint scanner. Anyone
who watches someone press a sequence of buttons or dusts the pad
for fingerprints then subsequently tries to enter by repeating
that sequence will trigger the alarm system.
67. No matter how many shorts we have in the system, my guards will be
instructed to treat every surveillance camera malfunction as a
full-scale emergency.
68. I will spare someone who saved my life sometime in the past. This
is only reasonable as it encourages others to do so. However, the
offer is good one time only. If they want me to spare them again,
they'd better save my life again.
69. All midwives will be banned from the realm. All babies will be
delivered at state-approved hospitals. Orphans will be placed in
foster-homes, not abandoned in the woods to be raised by creatures
of the wild.
70. When my guards split up to search for intruders, they will always
travel in groups of at least two. They will be trained so that if
one of them disappears mysteriously while on patrol, the other
will immediately initiate an alert and call for backup, instead of
quizzically peering around a corner.
71. If I decide to test a lieutenant's loyalty and see if he/she
should be made a trusted lieutenant, I will have a crack squad of
marksmen standing by in case the answer is no.
72. If all the heroes are standing together around a strange device
and begin to taunt me, I will pull out a conventional weapon
instead of using my unstoppable superweapon on them.
73. I will not agree to let the heroes go free if they win a rigged
contest, even though my advisors assure me it is impossible for
them to win.
74. When I create a multimedia presentation of my plan designed so
that my five-year-old advisor can easily understand the details, I
will not label the disk "Project Overlord" and leave it lying on
top of my desk.
75. I will instruct my Legions of Terror to attack the hero en masse,
instead of standing around waiting while members break off and
attack one or two at a time.
76. If the hero runs up to my roof, I will not run up after him and
struggle with him in an attempt to push him over the edge. I will
also not engage him at the edge of a cliff. (In the middle of a
rope-bridge over a river of molten lava is not even worth
considering.)
77. If I have a fit of temporary insanity and decide to give the hero
the chance to reject a job as my trusted lieutentant, I will
retain enough sanity to wait until my current trusted lieutenant
is out of earshot before making the offer.
78. I will not tell my Legions of Terror "And he must be taken alive!"
The command will be "And try to take him alive if it is reasonably
practical."
79. If my doomsday device happens to come with a reverse switch, as
soon as it has been employed it will be melted down and made into
limited-edition commemorative coins.
80. If my weakest troops fail to eliminate a hero, I will send out my
best troops instead of wasting time with progressively stronger
ones as he gets closer and closer to my fortress.
81. If I am fighting with the hero atop a moving platform, have
disarmed him, and am about to finish him off and he glances behind
me and drops flat, I too will drop flat instead of quizzically
turning around to find out what he saw.
82. I will not shoot at any of my enemies if they are standing in
front of the crucial support beam to a heavy, dangerous,
unbalanced structure.
83. If I'm eating dinner with the hero, put poison in his goblet, then
have to leave the table for any reason, I will order new drinks
for both of us instead of trying to decide whether or not to
switch with him.
84. I will not have captives of one sex guarded by members of the
opposite sex.
85. I will not use any plan in which the final step is horribly
complicated, e.g. "Align the 12 Stones of Power on the sacred
altar then activate the medallion at the moment of total eclipse."
Instead it will be more along the lines of "Push the button."
86. I will make sure that my doomsday device is up to code and
properly grounded.
87. My vats of hazardous chemicals will be covered when not in use.
Also, I will not construct walkways above them.
88. If a group of henchmen fail miserably at a task, I will not berate
them for incompetence then send the same group out to try the task
again.
89. After I captures the hero's superweapon, I will not immediately
disband my legions and relax my guard because I believe whoever
holds the weapon is unstoppable. After all, the hero held the
weapon and I took it from him.
90. I will not design my Main Control Room so that every workstation
is facing away from the door.
91. I will not ignore the messenger that stumbles in exhausted and
obviously agitated until my personal grooming or current
entertainment is finished. It might actually be important.
92. If I ever talk to the hero on the phone, I will not taunt him.
Instead I will say this his dogged perseverance has given me new
insight on the futility of my evil ways and that if he leaves me
alone for a few months of quiet contemplation I will likely return
to the path of righteousness. (Heroes are incredibly gullible in
this regard.)
93. If I decide to hold a double execution of the hero and an
underling who failed or betrayed me, I will see to it that the
hero is scheduled to go first.
94. When arresting prisoners, my guards will not allow them to stop
and grab a useless trinket of purely sentimental value.
95. My dungeon will have its own qualified medical staff complete with
bodyguards. That way if a prisoner becomes sick and his cellmate
tells the guard it's an emergency, the guard will fetch a trauma
team instead of opening up the cell for a look.
96. My door mechanisms will be designed so that blasting the control
panel on the outside seals the door and blasting the control panel
on the inside opens the door, not vice versa.
97. My dungeon cells will not be furnished with objects that contain
reflective surfaces or anything that can be unravelled.
98. If an attractive young couple enters my realm, I will carefully
monitor their activities. If I find they are happy and
affectionate, I will ignore them. However if circumstance have
forced them together against their will and they spend all their
time bickering and criticizing each other except during the
intermittent occasions when they are saving each others' lives at
which point there are hints of sexual tension, I will immediately
order their execution.
99. Any data file of crucial importance will be padded to 1.45Mb in
size.
100. Finally, to keep my subjects permanently locked in a mindless
trance, I will provide each of them with free unlimited Internet
access.
101. I will not order my trusted lieutenant to kill the infant who is
destined to overthrow me -- I'll do it myself.
102. I will not waste time making my enemy's death look like an
accident -- I'm not accountable to anyone and my other enemies
wouldn't believe it.
103. I will make it clear that I do know the meaning of the word
"mercy"; I simply choose not show them any.
104. My undercover agents will not have tattoos identifying them as
members of my organization, nor will they be required to wear
military boots or adhere to any other dress codes.
105. I will design all doomsday machines myself. If I must hire a mad
scientist to assist me, I will make sure that he is sufficiently
twisted to never regret his evil ways and seek to undo the damage
he's caused.
106. If my supreme command center comes under attack, I will
immediately flee to safety in my prepared escape pod and direct
the defenses from there. I will not wait until the troops break
into my inner sanctum to attempt this.
107. Even though I don't really care because I plan on living forever,
I will hire engineers who are able to build me a fortress sturdy
enough that, if I am slain, it won't tumble to the ground for no
good structural reason.
108. Any and all magic and/or technology that can miraculously
resurrect a secondary character who has given up his/her life
through self sacrifice will be outlawed and destroyed.
109. I will see to it that plucky young lads/lasses in strange clothes
and with the accent of an outlander shall REGULARLY climb some
monument in the main square of my capital and denounce me, claim
to know the secret of my power, rally the masses to rebellion,
etc. That way, the citizens will be jaded in case the real thing
ever comes along.
110. I will not employ devious schemes that involve the hero's party
getting into my inner sanctum before the trap is sprung.
111. I will offer oracles the choice of working exclusively for me or
being executed.
112. I will not rely entirely upon "totally reliable" spells that can
be neutralized by relatively inconspicuous talismans.
113. I will make the main entrance to my fortress standard-sized.
While elaborate 60-foot high double-doors definitely impress the
masses, they are hard to close quickly in an emergency.
114. I will never accept a challenge from the hero.
115. I will not engage an enemy single-handedly until all my soldiers
are dead.
116. If I capture the hero's starship, I will keep it in the landing
bay with the ramp down, only a few token guards on duty and a ton
of explosives set to go off as soon as it clears the blast-range.
117. No matter how much I want revenge, I will never order an
underling "Leave him. He's mine!"
118. If I have equipment which performs an important function, it will
not be activated by a lever that someone could trigger by
accidentally falling on when fatally wounded.
119. I will not attempt to kill the hero by placing a venomous
creature in his room. It will just wind up accidentally killing
one of my clumsy henchmen instead.
120. Since nothing is more irritating than a hero defeating you with
basic math skills, all of my personal weapons will be modified to
fire one more shot than the standard issue.
121. If I come into possession of an artifact which can only be used
by the pure of heart, I will not attempt to use it regardless.
122. The gun turrets on my fortress will not rotate enough so that
they may direct fire inward or at each other.
123. If I decide to hold a contest of skill open to the general
public, contestants will be required to remove their hooded cloaks
and shave their beards before entering.
124. Prior to kidnapping an older male scientist and forcing him to
work for me, I will investigate his offspring and make sure that
he has neither a beautiful but naive daughter who is willing to
risk anything to get him back, nor an estranged son who works in
the same field but had a falling-out with his father many years
ago.
125. Should I actually decide to kill the hero in an elaborate
escape-proof deathtrap room (water filling up, sand pouring down,
walls converging, etc.) I will not leave him alone five-to-ten
minutes prior to "imminent" death, but will instead (finding a
vantage point or monitoring camera) stick around and enjoy
watching my adversary's demise.
126. Rather than having only one secret escape pod, which the hero can
easily spot and follow, I'll simultaneously launch a few dozen
decoys to throw him off track.
127. Prison guards will have their own cantina featuring a wide
variety of tasty treats that will deliver snacks to the guards
while on duty. The guards will also be informed that accepting
food or drink from any other source will result in execution.
128. I will not employ robots as agents of destruction if there is any
possible way that they can be re-programmed or if their battery
packs are externally mounted and easily removable.
129. Despite the delicious irony, I will not force two heroes to fight
each other in the arena.
130. All members of my Legions of Terror will have professionally
tailored uniforms. If the hero knocks a soldier unconscious and
steals the uniform, the poor fit will give him away.
131. I will never place the key to a cell just out of a prisoner's
reach.
132. Before appointing someone as my trusted lieutenant, I will
conduct a thorough background investigation and security
clearance.
133. If I find my beautiful consort with access to my fortress has
been associating with the hero, I'll have her executed. It's
regrettable, but new consorts are easier to get than new
fortresses and maybe the next one will pay attention at the
orientation meeting.
134. If I am escaping in a large truck and the hero is pursuing me in
a small Italian sports car, I will not wait for the hero to pull
up along side of me and try to force him off the road as he
attempts to climb aboard. Instead I will slam on the brakes when
he's directly behind me. (A rudimentary knowledge of physics can
prove quite useful.)
135. My doomsday machine will have a highly-advanced technological
device called a capacitor in case someone inconveniently pulls the
plug at the last second. (If I have access to REALLY advanced
technology, I will include a back-up device known as a battery.)
136. If I build a bomb, I will simply remember which wire to cut if it
has to be deactivated and make every wire red.
137. Before spending available funds on giant gargoyles, gothic
arches, or other cosmetically intimidating pieces of architecture,
I will see if there are any valid military expenditures that could
use the extra budget.
138. The passageways to and within my domain will be well-lit with
fluorescent lighting. Regrettably, the spooky atmosphere will be
lost, but my security patrols will be more effective.
139. If I'm sitting in my camp, hear a twig snap, start to
investigate, then encounter a small woodland creature, I will send
out some scouts anyway just to be on the safe side. (If they
disappear into the foliage, I will not send out another patrol; I
will break out the napalm.)
140. I will instruct my guards when checking a cell that appears empty
to look for the chamber pot. If the chamber pot is still there,
then the prisoner has escaped and they may enter and search for
clues. If the chamber pot is not there, then either the prisoner
is perched above the lintel waiting to strike them with it or else
he decided to take it as a souvenir (in which case he is obviously
deeply disturbed and poses no threat). Either way, there's no
point in entering.
141. As an alternative to not having children, I will have lots of
children. My sons will be too busy jockeying for position to ever
be a real threat, and the daughters will all sabotage each other's
attempts to win the hero.
142. If I have children and subsequently grandchildren, I will keep my
three-year-old granddaughter near me at all times. When the hero
enters to kill me, I will ask him to first explain to her why it
is necessary to kill her beloved grandpa. When the hero launches
into an explanation of morality way over her head, that will be
her cue to pull the lever and send him into the pit of crocodiles.
After all, small children like crocodiles almost as much as Evil
Overlords and it's important to spend quality time with the
grandkids.
143. If one of my daughters actually manages to win the hero and
openly defies me, I will congratulate her on her choice, declare a
national holiday to celebrate the wedding, and proclaim the hero
my heir. This will probably be enough to break up the
relationship. If not, at least I am assured that no hero will
attack my Legions of Terror when they are holding a parade in his
honor.
144. I will order my guards to stand in a line when they shoot at the
hero so he cannot duck and have them accidentally shoot each
other. Also, I will order some to aim above, below, and to the
sides so he cannot jump out of the way.
145. My dungeon cell decor will not feature exposed pipes. While they
add to the gloomy atmosphere, they are good conductors of
vibrations and a lot of prisoners know Morse code.
146. If my surveillance reports any un-manned or seemingly innocent
ships found where they are not supposed to be, they will be
immediately vaporized instead of brought in for salvage.
147. I will classify my lieutenants in three categories: untrusted,
trusted, and completely trusted. Promotion to the third category
will be awarded posthumously.
148. Before ridiculing my enemies for wasting time on a device to stop
me that couldn't possibly work, I will first acquire a copy of the
schematics and make sure that in fact it couldn't possibly work.
149. Ropes supporting various fixtures will not be tied next to open
windows or staircases, and chandeliers will be hung way at the top
of the ceiling.
150. I will provide funding and research to develop tactical and
strategic weapons covering a full range of needs so my choices are
not limited to "hand to hand combat with swords" and "blow up the
planet".
151. I will not set myself up as a god. That perilous position is
reserved for my trusted lieutenant.
152. I will instruct my fashion designer that when it comes to
accessorizing, second-chance body armor goes well with every
outfit.
153. My Legions of Terror will be an equal-opportunity employer.
Conversely, when it is prophesied that no man can defeat me, I
will keep in mind the increasing number of non-traditional gender
roles.
154. I will instruct my Legions of Terror in proper search techniques.
In particular, if they are searching for escapees and someone
shouts, "Quick! They went that way!", they must first ascertain
the identity of this helpful informant before dashing off in hot
pursuit.
155. If I know of any heroes in the land, I will not under any
circumstance kill their mentors, teachers, and/or best friends.
156. If I have the hero and his party trapped, I will not wait until
my Superweapon charges to finish them off if more conventional
means are available.
157. Whenever plans are drawn up that include a time-table, I'll
post-date the completion 3 days after it's actually scheduled to
occur and not worry too much if they get stolen.
158. I will exchange the labels on my folder of top-secret plans and
my folder of family recipes. Imagine the hero's surprise when he
decodes the stolen plans and finds instructions for Grandma's
Potato Salad.
159. If I burst into rebel headquarters and find it deserted except
for an odd, blinking device, I will not walk up and investigate;
I'll run like hell.
160. Before being accepted into my Legions of Terror, potential
recruits will have to pass peripheral vision and hearing tests,
and be able to recognize the sound of a pebble thrown to distract
them.
161. I will occasionally vary my daily routine and not live my life in
a rut. For example, I will not always take a swig of wine or ring
a giant gong before finishing off my enemy.
162. If I steal something very important to the hero, I will not put
it on public display.
163. When planning an expedition, I will choose a route for my forces
that does not go through thick, leafy terrain conveniently located
near the rebel camp.
164. I will hire one hopelessly stupid and incompetent lieutenant, but
make sure that he is full of misinformation when I send him to
capture the hero.
165. As an equal-opportunity employer, I will have several
hearing-impaired body-guards. That way if I wish to speak
confidentially with someone, I'll just turn my back so the guards
can't read my lips instead of sending all of them out of the room.
166. If the rebels manage to trick me, I will make a note of what they
did so that I do not keep falling for the same trick over and over
again.
167. If I am recruiting to find someone to run my computer systems,
and my choice is between the brilliant programmer who's head of
the world's largest international technology conglomerate and an
obnoxious 15-year-old dork who's trying to impress his dream girl,
I'll take the brat and let the hero get stuck with the genius.
168. I will plan in advance what to do with each of my enemies if they
are captured. That way, I will never have to order someone to be
tied up while I decide his fate.
169. If I have massive computer systems, I will take at least as many
precautions as a small business and include things such as
virus-scans and firewalls.
170. I will be an equal-opportunity despot and make sure that terror
and oppression is distributed fairly, not just against one
particular group that will form the core of a rebellion.
171. I will not locate a base in a volcano, cave, or any other
location where it would be ridiculously easy to bypass security by
rapelling down from above.
172. I will allow guards to operate under a flexible work schedule.
That way if one is feeling sleepy, he can call for a replacement,
punch out, take a nap, and come back refreshed and alert to finish
out his shift.
173. Although it would provide amusement, I will not confess to the
hero's rival that I was the one who committed the heinous act for
which he blames the hero.
174. If I am dangling over a precipice and the hero reaches his hand
down to me, I will not attempt to pull him down with me. I will
allow him to rescue me, thank him properly, then return to the
safety of my fortress and order his execution.
175. I will have my fortress exorcized regularly. Although ghosts in
the dungeon provide an appropriate atmosphere, they tend to
provide valuable information once placated.
176. I will add indelible dye to the moat. It won't stop anyone from
swimming across, but even dim-witted guards should be able to
figure out when someone has entered in this fashion.
177. If a scientist with a beautiful and unmarried daughter refuses to
work for me, I will not hold her hostage. Instead, I will offer to
pay for her future wedding and her children's college tuition.
178. If I have the hero cornered and am about to finish him off and he
says "Look out behind you!!" I will not laugh and say "You don't
expect me to fall for that old trick, do you?" Instead I will take
a step to the side and half turn. That way I can still keep my
weapon trained on the hero, I can scan the area behind me, and if
anything was heading for me it will now be heading for him.
179. I will not outsource core functions.
180. If I ever build a device to transfer the hero's energy into me, I
will make sure it cannot operate in reverse.
181. I will decree that all hay be shipped in tightly-packed bales.
Any wagonload of loose hay attempting to pass through a checkpoint
will be set on fire.
182. I will not hold any sort of public celebration within my castle
walls. Any event open to members of the public will be held down
the road in the festival pavilion.
183. Before using any device which transfers energy directly into my
body, I will install a surge suppressor.
184. I will hire a drama coach. The hero will think it must be a case
of mistaken identity when confronted by my Minnesota accent (if
everyone sounds American) or my Cornwall accent (if everyone
sounds British).
185. If I capture an enemy known for escaping via ingenious and
fantastic little gadgets, I will order a full cavity search and
confiscate all personal items before throwing him in my dungeon.
186. I will not devise any scheme in which Part A consists of tricking
the hero into unwittingly helping me and Part B consists of
laughing at him then leaving him to his own devices.
187. I will not hold lavish banquets in the middle of a famine. The
good PR among the guests doesn't make up for the bad PR among the
masses.
188. I will funnel some of my ill-gotten gains into urban renewal
projects. Although slums add a quaint and picturesque quality to
any city, they too often contain unexpected allies for heroes.
189. I will never tell the hero "Yes I was the one who did it, but
you'll never be able to prove it to that incompetent old fool."
Chances are, that incompetant old fool is standing behind the
curtain.
190. If my mad scientist/wizard tells me he has almost perfected my
Superweapon but it still needs more testing, I will wait for him
to complete the tests. No one ever conquered the world using a
beta version.
191. I will not appoint a relative to my staff of advisors. Not only
is nepotism the cause of most breakdowns in policy, but it also
causes trouble with the EEOC.
192. If I appoint someone as my consort, I will not subsequently
inform her that she is being replaced by a younger, more
attractive woman.
193. If I am using the hero's girlfriend as a hostage and am holding
her at the point of imminent death when confronting the hero, I
will focus on her and not him. He won't try anything with his true
love held hostage. On the other hand, the fact that she has been
weak, slow-witted, naive and generally useless up to this point
has no bearing on her actions at the moment of dramatic climax.
194. I will make several ludicrously erroneous maps to secret passages
in my fortress and hire travellers to entrust them to aged
hermits.
195. I will not use hostages as bait in a trap. Unless you're going to
use them for negotiation or as human shields, there's no point in
taking them.
196. I will hire an expert marksman to stand by the entrance to my
fortress. His job will be to shoot anyone who rides up to
challenge me.
197. I will explain to my Legions of Terror that guns are ranged
weapons and swords are not. Anyone who attempts to throw a sword
at the hero or club him with a gun will be summarily executed.
198. I will remember that any vulnerabilities I have are to be
revealed strictly on a need-to-know basis. I will also remember
that no one needs to know.
199. I will not make alliances with those more powerful than myself.
Such a person would only double-cross me in my moment of glory. I
will make alliances with those less powerful than myself. I will
then double-cross them in their moment of glory.
200. During times of peace, my Legions of Terror will not be permitted
to lie around drinking mead and eating roast boar. Instead they
will be required to obey my dietician and my aerobics instructor.
201. All giant serpents acting as guardians in underground lakes will
be fitted with sports goggles to prevent eye injuries.
202. All crones with the ability to prophesy will be given free
facelifts, permanents, manicures, and Donna Karan wardrobes. That
should pretty well destroy their credibility.
203. I will not employ an evil wizard if he has a sleazy mustache.
204. I will hire an entire squad of blind guards. Not only is this in
keeping with my status as an equal opportunity employer, but it
will come in handy when the hero becomes invisible or douses my
only light source.
205. All repair work will be done by an in-house maintenance staff.
Any alleged "repairmen" who show up at the fortress will be
escorted to the dungeon.
206. When my Legions of Terror park their vehicle to do reconnaissance
on foot, they will be instructed to employ The Club.
207. Employees will have conjugal visit trailers which they may use
provided they call in a replacement and sign out on the timesheet.
Given this, anyone caught making out in a closet while leaving
their station unmonitored will be shot.
208. Members of my Legion of Terror will attend seminars on
Sensitivity Training. It's good public relations for them to be
kind and courteous to the general population when not actively
engaged in sowing chaos and destruction.
209. I will not, under any circumstances, marry a woman I know to be a
faithless, conniving, back-stabbing witch simply because I am
absolutely desperate to perpetuate my family line. Of course, we
can still date.
210. All guest-quarters will be bugged and monitored so that I can
keep track of what the visitors I have for some reason allowed to
roam about my fortress are actually plotting.
211. If my chief engineer displeases me, he will be shot, not
imprisoned in the dungeon or beyond the traps he helped design.
212. I will not send out batalions composed wholly of robots or
skeletons against heroes who have qualms about killing living
beings.
213. I will not wear long, heavy cloaks. While they certainly make a
bold fashion statement, they have an annoying tendency to get
caught in doors or tripped over during an escape.
214. If a malignant being demands a sacrificial victim have a
particular quality, I will check to make sure said victim has this
quality immediately before the sacrifice and not rely on earlier
results. (Especially if the quality is virginity and the victim is
the hero's girlfriend.)
215. If I ever MUST put a digital timer on my doomsday device, I will
buy one free from quantum mechanical anomalies. So many brands on
the market keep perfectly good time while you're looking at them,
but whenever you turn away for a couple minutes then turn back,
you find that the countdown has progressed by only a few seconds.
216. If my Legions of Terror are defeated in a battle, I will quietly
withdraw and regroup instead of launching a haphazard mission to
assassinate the hero.
217. If I'm wearing the key to the hero's shackles around my neck and
his former girlfriend now volunteers to become my mistress and we
are all alone in my bedchamber on my bed and she offers me a
goblet of wine, I will politely decline the offer.
218. I will not pick up a glowing ancient artifact and shout "It's
power is now mine!!!" Instead I will grab some tongs, transfer it
to a hazardous materials container, and transport it back to my
lab for study.
219. I will be selective in the hiring of assassins. Anyone who
attempt to strike down the hero the first instant his back is
turned will not even be considered for the job.
220. Whatever my one vulnerability is, I will fake a different one.
For example, ordering all mirrors removed from the palace,
screaming and flinching whenever someone accidentally holds up a
mirror, etc. In the climax when the hero whips out a mirror and
thrusts it at my face, my reaction will be "Hmm...I think I need a
shave."
221. My force-field generators will be located inside the shield they
generate.
222. I reserve the right to execute any henchmen who appear to be a
little too intelligent, powerful, or devious. However if I do so,
I will not at some subsequent point shout "Why am I surrounded by
these incompetent fools?!"
223. I will install a fire extinguisher in every room -- three, if the
room contains vital equipment or volatile chemicals.
224. I will build machines which simply fail when overloaded, rather
than wipe out all nearby henchmen in an explosion or worse yet set
off a chain reaction. I will do this by using devices known as
"surge protectors".
225. I will explain to my guards that most people have their eyes in
the front of their heads and thus while searching for someone it
makes little sense to draw a weapon and slowly back down the
hallway.
226. I will have a staff of competent detectives handy. If I learn
that someone in a certain village is plotting against me, I will
have them find out who rather than wipe out the entire village in
a preemptive strike.
227. I will never bait a trap with genuine bait.
228. If the hero claims he wishes to confess in public or to me
personally, I will remind him that a notarized deposition will
serve just as well.
229. If I have several diabolical schemes to destroy the hero, I will
set all of them in motion at once rather than wait for them to
fail and launch them successively.
230. I will not procrastinate regarding any ritual granting
immortality.
231. Mythical guardians will be instructed to ask visitors name,
purpose of visit, and whether they have an appointment instead of
ancient riddles.

R.E.M. -- What’s the frequency, Kenneth?
"What’s the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed
I thought I’d pegged you an idiot’s dream
Tunnel vision from the outsider’s screen
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
I’d studied your cartoons, radio, music, TV, movies, magazines
Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"
A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
"What’s the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
Butterfly decal, rear-view mirror, dogging the scene
You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
I couldn’t understand
You said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh
I couldn’t understand
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I couldn’t understand
I never understood, don’t fuck with me, uh-huh
This song is one of the great examples of effect that media hype can have on people
Its based on following incident....by a maniac ;)
The title refers to the question one of two unknown assailants (one later identified as William Tager) asked CBS anchorman Dan Rather while assaulting him on Park Avenue in Manhattan in October 1986. The phrase Rather reported actually hearing was "Kenneth, what is the frequency?"
R.E.M. vocalist Michael Stipe said of the incident: "It remains the premier unsolved American surrealist act of the 20th century. It's a misunderstanding that was scarily random, media hyped and just plain bizarre." On June 22, 1995, at Madison Square Garden, Rather accompanied the band during soundcheck to perform the song. The clip was shown prior to R.E.M.'s performance of "Crush with Eyeliner" on Late Show with David Letterman the following night.
Tager later claimed that he had come from a parallel universe some 200 years in the future. He also claimed that because everyone in the future had a double in the past, he had mistaken Rather for his future double, Vice President Kenneth Burroughs, and that he attacked Rather in an attempt to recover the information needed to stop the television signals being sent to his brain and return to his own time. [1]
In 1997, the New York Daily News identified Tager as Rather's assailant based on a tip from a psychiatrist. Tager apparently was convinced that the news media was beaming signals into his head, and demanded that Rather tell him the frequency of the signals. He is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for killing NBC stagehand Campbell Montgomery outside the Today show studio in 1994. New York never indicted Mr. Tager for the assault on Rather, and many skeptics remain unconvinced, although Rather accepts the Tager theory. [2]
The incident also inspired a lesser-known song called "Kenneth, What's The Frequency?" by the band Game Theory in 1987, as well as appearing in the title track for the 1995 album Junior Citizen by Poster Children.
This phrase was also used by cartoonist Daniel Clowes in his graphic novel Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron, which was originally serialized in his comic book Eightball. In Eightball #4 (October 1990) the character Billings says this to Clay Loudermilk, after Clay shows him the "Mister Jones" symbol that two corrupt cops carved into his heel after beating him.
The song is great though :D

Capt. Vijayant Thapar
A friend just posted this link
http://www.captainvijyantthapar.com/
Capt. Vijay Thapar
He died fighting for the country. He was 22.
Heres the last letter he wrote to his family
http://www.captainvijyantthapar.com/lastletter.html
Heres what his father wrote
Son,
The brave way you left this world, at the age of 22 is a measure of how you lived your short life and what you valued. In meeting the stark challenges of capturing Knoll against all odds, during the battle of Three Pimples with heroic coolness and single minded devotion to duty, you have achieved immortal honour. In death you have epitomised the spirit of national pride - an honour which makes every sacrifice worthwhile. Your actions will forever inspire generations of Indians to come. You have left us with pride for being the parents of a worthy son and a lifetime of pain for having lost a child we loved.
-- Col. V.N. Thapar
Heres some thing about Ruksana, the kid he mentioned in the letter:
Ruksana lost her speech when her father was brutally murdered by militants in front of her eyes in her village in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir and it took all of Kargil martyr Captain Vijyant Thapar's love to get it back. The six year - old's world had come crashing down around her after her father Mohammad Akbar was gunned down by foreign mercenaries, but she was soon to discover her knight in shinning armour when a company of two Rajputana Rifles moved into her school in Kandi village. The 22-year old officer met her through the principal of the school and started loving the child immensely. Capt. Thapar and his "sahayak" Sepoy Jagmal Singh Shekhawat, who also died next to his "saheb" in the battle to capture the "Knoll" feature in Drass sub-sector, used to steal away from the unit and visit Ruksana each evening and take sweets and toffees for her, soldiers in the battalion say.
Their love developed into trust and Capt. Thapar's persistent efforts paid off when Ruksana started speaking again. He used to contribute a small amount of money each month to the girl's poor family towards her education. Minutes before going on his 'last' operation, the young officer, probably on a premonition, wrote to his family and asked them to take care of her. "Contribute some money to an orphanage and keep sending some money to Ruksana every month."he wrote minutes before he was going to lead his men into battle on that fateful night of June 28. He had told his mother about Ruksana on the phone and described his beautiful relationship. Now his parents have decided to send money to her regularly.
Brave men like him keep dying almost everyday, just because of fucking fanatics.
These terrorists are nothing but plague on earth

Backtrack Fixed
Finally, I got Backtrack up in VMware witha wroking internet connection
Great
:D
Heres what happened. This is the stuff that I posted in BackTrack forums.
1st Post
MY PC config is
2.66GHz P-!V
512MB RAM
nVidia 6200TC (64MB onboard + 64 MB shared RAM)
Onboard ULi PCI Fast Ethernet Controller
Onboard Soundmax HD Audio COntroller
2 Hard discs (Both IDE PATA, one 40GB (master with XP installed) 2nd =20GB)
2nd HDD contains BackTrack image and all related files
Sony DVD combo as 2ndry master
Windows XP SP2 (+all patches)
Avast Antivirus
Comodo Personal Firewall (+ Windows Firewall On too)
VMware Player
VMX Builder
VMware Diskmount
After many trials and errors including Microsoft Virtual PC, booting from CD, I finally managed to get Backtrack running using VMware Player and a VMX script downloaded from Irongeek
Now the only problem that I am facing that I cant connect to the internet/network.
I have a standalone PC with DSL connection that requires authentication on ISPs site. It works fine with windows.
But I cant seem to connect while running backtrack in VMware
I tried all the commands
ifconfig eth0 ipaddrs subnet
dhcpcd
ifconfig eth0 up etc etc. listed in threads here
along with the IP address setting utility in BT.
At first I tried setting my IP , DNS and gateway etc to same as windows(ipconfig /all), then to other IP addresses in the subnet that were not occupied.
But I couldnt even ping the gateway. Though running ifconfig command showed some outbound packets, there were none inbound.
I tried modifying settings using vmnetcfg.exe utility in VMware player folder. modifying NAT for different interfaces,, setting DHCP same as my ISP etc etc.
Modifying VMware scripts to use modified interfaces.
Enabling/disabling different interfaces..NAT/DHCP/Bridge from VMware window have no effect either
Ping command runs well only for localhost
Also BT shows l0 as the listed ethernet interface
I've disabled my firewall too.
But still cant get it running.
I think I'm unable to configure vmnetcfg.exe utility properly..or is it something wrong with default config of BT that prevents network connections?
I've tried searching in VMware forums too without any success.
CAn anyone help me with this?
Sorry for this very long post. If am unclear somewhere, please tell me.

m using BT ver 2 and VMware ver2 Downloaded them fresh from the site
I cant use live CD. As soon as i get first boot prompt(unloading stuff), my screen goes black and stays that way. Using alt-ctrl- - doesnt work
May be it hates my graphics card or resolution is unsupported. Cant even get to login prompt
My monitor is a 15 inch Samtron. Max resolution supported is 1024x768 at 60Hz. I use it at 960x600 at 85Hz (max flickerfree) in windows,
While using VirtualPC, i couldnt use my mouse, and graphics were terrible.
Now for original query,
I have an ADSL modem with one ethernet interface. NAT is disabled.
I've tried setting my ip address as per one of the guides, using DHCPCD etc, but it didnt work. I cant even ping my gateway, that I set manually.
Am training for CCNA and so I have fair bit of idea about subnets etc. and am providing them correctly too.
Can anybody post me the link for proper usage of VMware ethernet adapters , VMX Builder and BackTrack ip config.
Theres nothing in help files either, and I could find only one tutorial about setting ip config in BackTack. But I suspect its more to do with VMware. But not sure .

This thread, additionally, I used GUI utility in BT too.
Also I read up linux commandline reference, nothing really special there too
ttp://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=1489&page=3[/url]
I start it like this
First I boot into WIndowsXP. Connect to internet, as my DSL modem provides the PC with IP automatically. Only thing remains is to authenticate at the ISP's site with my user id and password using a browser
Now I start VMware and load the modified vmx file that I got from irongeek site.
It all works fine till I get to connecting to internet.
Also I tried to make a "hard disk"
using VMX builder. Its same problem in both cases.
Can you point me to any step by step tutorial regarding ip configuration in Backtrack and VMware?

Sorry to bother you again folks...but I just cant avoid it.
I've tried everything with VMware..that I could think of, editing various virtual network adapters, enabling disabling various settings etc etc.
But I can't get my Backtrack session to connect to internet.
I tried using multiple ethernet cards (virtual) in BT too, but without any success
Then, I borrowed a friends laptop to run the Boot CD. Guess what, I got the same problem there. Bt boots up fine but still no internet connectivity
(CD wont run on my system, I just get a blank screen after boot: prompt)
So that leads me to think, theres some issue with my ISP.
Let me explain about my connection, all that I know
It uses a Chinese made UTStarcom ADSL router/modem
UT-300R2 WITH ONE ETHERNET CONNECTION.
Connection is provided through a CAT cable with 4 pairs. Only one pair is used to provide internet connection. This company provides telephone service too. In some cases, telephone shares the same pair as internet service (uses a splitter then) while in other cases phone and internet service are both on different pairs.
It has LEDs for PPOE, WAN, LAN and Power
The IP is dynamic and ipconfig command shows a single DHCP server, 2 DNS servers.
Subnet mask is 21.
Connection speed is 75kbps (yeah yeah, I know its very lame, but thats what I can currently afford )
To start using the internet, I have to first put in my user id and password in the login page of the isp.
That page comes on by default everytime I try to open any site.. (what else?)
I've tried putting in IP address(same as well as different unoccupied address in subnet), gateway IP and DNS server address manually but I cant even ping the gateway even when the BT accepts the IP I provided.
I cannot login to my router/modem whatever( it says ADSL modem ). I just get a class A ip in range 123
I tried calling customer care, but they said that it isnt possble to change settings by logging in, either through browser or telnet.
This thing doesnt have NAT either
Ip shown in ipconfig command and external tools like whatsmyip.com site are same.
I tried running ppoe setup // command(from this forum), but that didnt help either. I see some data traffic outgoing /incoming, but thats all theres to it.
I havent installed it on HDD yet. Just using Laptop and more often VMX builder to play around with various settings on my PC.
Can anybody tell me about
VMXnet
E100 and
AMD Lance
settings in Network Adapter Type drop box in that? Does it have any influence?

I finally managed to get DHCP service running and got ip address and everything.
Got it by trying a lots of stuff at once, resetting my modem using a small reset button, turning it on and off and running dhcpcd command with -h and -r switches
Now I have a working ip config.
But theres another hitch
I now get to login page of ISP, but on entering password, it says, Authentication Failed
Has it something to do with following excerpt
3.10.7. I have followed all the steps but still my machine is not able to connect
The cable modem will usually memorize the ethernet address of your network card so if you connect a new computer or switch network cards you will somehow have to "teach" your cable modem to recognize the new computer/card. Usually you can turn of the modem and bring it back up while computer is on or you will have to call tech support and tell them that you have changed a network card in the computer.
from this page
Code:
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DHCP/x74.html
I had same problem when I tried to use laptop (XP). But resetting and switching the modem on and off fixed it.
BUt its not working here.
I've done it 2-4 times.
One tiny bit more..
whats with multiple keystroke?
It just keeps on typing even if I just touch the keys
Happens sometimes. Though quite often.
Is it a bug?
6th Post
Guess hwat??
I got it fixed and to think of it, there was never any problem with Vmware settings.
It was my frigging modem afterall. All I had to do to get internet working on BT was to release IP from windows. Then switch off the modem and wair for 2-3 minutes to get rid of the binding with MAC that ISPs do
Then switch on the modem and run dhcpcd command.
I was able to logion to my ISP then and off to work
Finally, leant something.
Should've thought of it long time ago. Had smae problem in lab when I was once training for managing Windows Domains

Personality Tests..loads of them ;)
| Your Quirk Factor: 74% |
 You're so quirky, it's hard for you to tell the difference between quirky and normal. No doubt about it, there's little about you that's "normal" or "average." |
| You Are Pretty Happy |
 You generally have a happy, fulfilling life. But things could be a little better, and deep down, you know it. Maybe you need more supportive friends or a more challenging career. Something is preventing you from being totally happy. You just need to figure out what it is! |
| You Are 70% Weird |
 You're so weird, you think you're *totally* normal. Right? But you wig out even the biggest of circus freaks! |
| You've Experienced 36% of Life |
 You have the life experience of someone in their early 20s. You've seen some of what life has to offer - but you have a long ways to go. |
| You're a Little Stupid |
 You got 9/10 questions right! Or at least careless. Better go back and recheck your answers! |
| You Are Destined to Rule the World |
 You have the makings of a very evil dictator... Which is both kind of cool and kind of scary! Will you rule the world? Maybe. Maybe not. But at least you know that you could. |

 You are a warm hearted and open minded person. It's easy for you to forgive and forget. You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds. You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you. Your near future is a lot like the present, and as far as you're concerned, that's a very good thing. For you, falling in love is all about flirting and feeling playful. You couldn't fall in love with someone who took life too seriously. |
