"Captain Bob" and "^god"

Do something like mac addresses? so you can identify a computer rather than the person? make them log into a wan or something even? Liz Sure, that'd be a great method - wouldn't stop them completely though as they could always establish a new account under a false or someone elses name.

more on LOTR
by Richard Naylor 10 Mar '03

10 Mar '03

since someone just asked, last year the streams were in addition to the webcams. The webcams were averaging 500+ users all day and the streams carried a similar volume. overall we were shifting 130mbps. The video streams are NOT the webcams. They use mixers, cameras, lights etc like a tv production. The webcams are little things bolted to flimsy bits of buildings in high places. (why is it always like that?) rich
