  1. Y'all are just starting to get upset *now*? by Mazel#Tov · · Score: 1 · on Passenger Risk Database to be Implemented in U.S.

    I've been bitching at my Congress critters for almost 2 years now about this.

    Here's my prediction from 2/1/2002.

  2. Googlebomb time! by Mazel#Tov · · Score: 1 · on Google Relists Operation Clambake

    Use something like my new .sig anywhere you can, or look at the bottom of any of the pages at chaos.org.

  3. Some notes after putting TopText through its paces by Mazel#Tov · · Score: 1 · on Don't Eat the Yellow Links
    • The links aren't yellow, so backgrounds won't work. It's a green stripe surrounded by two orange stripes, so even making a background gif/png with the same striping will theoretically only visually eliminate 50% of the links. Also, the resulting "yellow" is so ugly that I'd puke if I saw a web site with that background (just a subjective observation on the last.)
    • The Meta tag works. I placed a keyword (sports) on a domain I own, saw the underline pop up, updated the source code, refreshed the cache, and it didn't appear. The meta tag is:
      <META NAME="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" CONTENT="TRUE">
      For those not sure about this, this needs to go somewhere between<HEAD></HEAD> in your HTML.
    • An interesting note. I own a com/net/org set of a domain. The TopText links do not appear on the .org, but will show up on .net and .com. I don't own any domains that fall under other TLDs. I would be interested in hearing other's results on this.
    • The keywords and URLs are stored on your system, it seems. It looks like they're enciphered, and it looks to my untrained eye that it's something like a cycling caesar.
      • This means the USER_AGENT string in your browser stays the same, so you can't sniff them on their way in and block/redirect them.
      • This also means that blocking ezula.com from coming into your site won't really do anything, since it doesn't look like they actually do so, at least by my logs.

    That's pretty much all I have to contribute at this time. Any more info would be gladly received via this page.

  4. Speaking of useful Mac hacks by Magumbo · · Score: 2 · on MacHack Yields Clever Tricks With Apples

    This is undoubtedly the leanest, meanest hack I've ever seen. It's a fun project, and if you have kids they'll love it.

  5. so many ways to present DECSS by Mazel#Tov · · Score: 2 · on More Threats From The MPAA

    It's not steganography, and it's not even very clever, but a question arises. This is a gif. It's not text, and thus compiler readable. It's not anything that can be read immediately, so is this illegal?
