Actually mainstream-skatepunks Pennywise do have free MP3s of bootlegs available on their website http://www.pennywisdom.com. They're not really interesting because all the Pennywise shows are basically the same.
Jambands like Phish have such huge tape-trading community because their shows are based on improvisation and they tend to be unique. Only band with real tape-trading/bootleg scene that could be considered punk is Sublime. Their bootlegs can be found on Furthur

For free punk music you should check out Out of Tune (Shameless plug, get my band's second EP for free from there) and ftp.unixpunx.org, which hosts a really great archive of independent music (and doesn't care about copyright laws at all..)

Looks like this guy must be on to something...

http://zeitgeistw3.cjb.net, thanks.

OK, for all to know. You need buzz-tracker. Its freeware, has a million simulated machines (drum machines, effects, reverb, flange, distortion, physically modelled instruments). Its completely pluggable. It can be found at djLasers site or at BuzzMachines.com. Try to download the biggest pack possible. It runs on Windows, just FYI. If you want to hear some stuff made on it, you can check out dTx Productions. Some of the songs towards the top there were made entirely in Buzz with no mastering. I wish somebody would take Buzz into sourceforge, and attach a different IDE to it. The current is very usable, but it could be better. Anyways, hope that helps.

I went to the Anti-leech site.

I'm using Proxomitron. I've been using it for a lonnnnng time.

Proxomitron blocked their popups, the ads on their site, and I stuffed a new script in, in order to get back my context menu. SAD Stuff.

I hope this is the trend for "anti-block" crap. I can get around that without even breaking a sweat.

Now, if only I could run proxomitron on Linux.

I can't beleive that they claim to stop stuff like Proxomitron. It's just about the perfect tool ;)

The Art of Assembly and other essential ASM programming links. If you want to learn RE, sooner or later you're going to have to learn assembly. Get to it.

Mammon's Tales to his Grandson and other useful RE classics by a G.O.M. of the genre. Oh, and an older mirror, possibly with extra/different stuff on it.

Google's directory listing for Disassemblers, which you'll be wanting at least one of...
...and the listing for Testing tools, which may come in handy.

Finally, Compuware's SoftIce page - SoftIce being the single most popular RE tool for Win32 software... Not that you're likely to be paying for it, you warez monkey, you.

Have fun, kids, and release Open Source.

(Posting Anon because I don't need the Karma or the implication of knowledge =)...

linx pro has more information on the exploit, including patches to fix it.

Does MS fix their vulnerabilities that fast? Judging by the number of klez variants in my inbox, I'd say "no".

looks like those links have been slashdotted already.

Too bad, too, because it's lunchtime and I'm hungry.

I found another web site with subway, dominos, pizza slut, etc. coupons. Tres cool!

Compared to Galeon, Phoenix:

• loads and runs faster
• is smaller and quicker to download (incl. deps.)
• just about installs itself (no dependency hell)
• has a smaller memory footprint
• is easily configurable through user.js--(I haven't mastered GConf-editor, and am annoyed that Galeon won't respect my user.js, ymmv)
• doesn't lock your bookmarks away in some chichi morky format no other browser uses
• looks okay

I actually like Galeon quite a bit. It was at one point the finest browser I'd ever used. But I'm not exactly down with GNOME 2.x, so I'm shopping around. Skipstone is cool, too. I haven't put the effort into customizing it, but it is also light and fast. Phoenix is definitely getting there. I think it has the potential to be the best browser ever for any platform. If you haven't tried it, go for it. It won't hose your Galeon. It's fun.

p.s., look for themes here.

Try Proxomitron. It's a local proxy server that you can use to strip, change, or pretty much just do whatever to incoming HTML. I've used it for some projects in the past and found it quite stable and helpful, though a bit ugly. =)

Here's a help site dedicated to Phoenix, created by David Tenser. Announced in this thread on MozillaZine, and see also the Phoenix forums.

Here's a review of the iPod I posted on Slashdot a while back in a thread about the release of the XPlay software.

A good friend of mine got an iPod as a corporate gift (he works for a major market radio station) and gave it to me since he doesn't own a Mac. Now, I don't have a Mac either, but as a tech-head and a digital audio guy I figured I could probably do something with it. I actually did consider getting a new iMac, but I'd heard about XPod (now XPlay) and figured I could check it out if I got a firewire port somehow.

Some background: I have been running Windows XP for about six months now on my homebuilt Athlon PC (T-Bird 1.33). I have been very happy with the performance and stability of XP, but the Turtle Beach Montego II Home Studio sound card I have used for years is only supported under 9x. I could get basic analog audio working by disabling ACPI in the BIOS, but with lousy driver support and no digital I/O, I realized it was time to upgrade. I thought about getting a semi-pro audio card such as those from Terratec, M-Audio, and Event, but since I also use my PC for games and home theater, I ended up getting the Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum Ex. The last Creative card I had was a SB AWE32 many years ago, and though I wouldn't touch the Live! series (especially since my mobo uses a Via chipset), the Audigy is totally killer. Now, just as posts here have mentioned the possibility of people buying a Mac to complement the iPod, a big part of the reason I picked the Audigy was for the built-in Firewire port.

Okay, time to get to the goods. I downloaded and installed a beta of XPlay and hooked up my virgin iPod. To my surprise, Windows immediately recognized the iPod as an external drive and mapped it through explorer. XPlay seemed to suggest that I should control the iPod primarily through Windows Media Player, but I have generally stayed away from WMP since they introduced v7. I have never been fond of its music library management, especially since it likes to screw with your music files even if you don't want it to--no ID3v2 tags for me, thank you. And the idea that it needs to lock up 30MB of RAM just to play one song is pretty ludicrous. A quick check revealed that WMP8 did indeed see the iPod as a portable device, but I wasn't going to use it to transfer any files.

My mp3 collection is up to about 30GB now (all ripped myself using EAC with LAME), so it was a little difficult to pick out which five gigs of tunes I wanted to take with me. Going through Windows Explorer, I ctrl-clicked the folders of my favorite albums and dragged them into the \Music folder on the mapped iPod drive. Transfer was fast but not blazing, taking about 25 minutes to copy everything over the firewire. Using the Explorer interface meant that no playlists were transferred, but the Artist/Album interface on the iPod is so good that I don't really need them anyway. I suppose that I'm not really using XPlay to its fullest, but at least WMP doesn't muck up my mp3s in the process. I'd love to see plug-in support for the iPod in my player of choice, JRiver's Media Jukebox.

Reactions: While I'm not using any of XPlay's features beyond the support for HFS, I don't really need it to. I'd much rather control things myself anyway, just doing drag 'n drops instead of becoming a slave to the software interface. I also have a first gen Diamond Rio (parallel port connection!) and the original Rio Volt, and the included software has never wowed me enough to use it regularly. Actually, that's why I liked the Volt most of all, since I could just burn my own CD's and be done with it. The iPod is definitely best of all though--the small size makes it much more convenient for the car or carrying in your pocket, and the rechargeable lithium-ion battery is just awesome. I use it in the car every day (about an hour-round trip) and only have to charge it every other week. The playback interface is the best of any I have seen--very easy to control with one hand and the white backlight works great in the dark. It does seem to skip sometimes, though it seems it's actually blank parts in the mp3 file since it happens in the same part of a song every time. My guess is that there was a blip of some sort during the firewire transfer, since the mp3s play back perfect on the computer.

Overall, XPlay does what it advertises. I can use the iPod on my PC, which would not be possible otherwise. However, there are some other features I'd like to see, such as the ability to upgrade the iPod firmware and synchronization support for programs other than WMP. Combining the huge installed base of the PC/Windows platform with the style and reliabilty of Apple hardware is a winning situation for everyone. I think that MediaFour has done just what Apple had hoped, allowing them to sell more units without getting into the headache of supporting the PC platform. And personally, I am thrilled to be an Apple user again, since my first home computer was a IIGS. Who knows, I still might pick up an iMac after all...

Try Possible Worlds.

If you're tired shooting aliens, you can play pong on your cockpit display. What I did most of the time, since my alienshootingskills are limited. Well, I could have played standalone Pong, but it's much cooler if you have these damn cool 3D graphics in the background!

Lots of other fireball sightings are documented on here.

xfree86 project has already done all the work. just steal their code and add it to your os. make sure your code is closed source so that no one will know. this method is used by a similar site called xboxnews. also a good resource for xbox reverse engineering and the like.

Just looking at everything +3 or better and really can't believe that nobody's recommended Possible Worlds yet - a very cool submarine 3D OpenGL game.

It could seriously use some additional development for anyone else out there with time on their hands and an interest, but a fun and very playable game as it sits.

... now this is just wrong.

It's already done. The Proximatron (Windows only, but I'm sure that someone here could wirte a Linux one if there isn't already one) filters html. Set-up a rule to block the ad and it's gone. (I don't see ads on /. and nytimes.com articles auto-matically create random users :)

Spend about 15 minutes editing the Bitflux demo and then navigate off the page with the back button or close the window. You will silently and efficiently lose 15 minutes of work.

This kind of thing has always been a problem in browser data entry like form posts, but now it's getting more complex and the data is becoming more precious. You can try to mitigate the issue by having an onunload handler, but most ad blockers and other apps like Proxomitron disable onunload because of its abuse by pr0n and advertising.

Perhaps if this is only used in an app that uses Mozilla technologies embedded inside it--rather than the Mozilla browser with its standard navigational options--there won't be a problem. But it sure is a problem for the demo.

Does anyone know anything about the supposed unified IM service to beat Jabber and Gaim, written by United Coders? Their website is lacking any information on the project, but from what I hear its very promising.

ITS A LIE!! :) I've had this link for a while, look here, the broken coffee mug holder" urban geek myth debunked

Although I don't have a lot of pictures, I also have a website about 9/11, which I made last year.

Go to http://404pagenotfound.cjb.net and the links are in the first story.

Certainly the 7400 series as a whole is still widespread and used in hobbyists kits, I'm not that old. Maybe the original 7400 is becoming obsolete, being replaced with the 74LS (low-power Schottkey) or CMOS chips? If then it shouldn't be too difficult to replace the TTL logic with CMOS logic, given a few adjustment levels in voltage, or they could use the TTL-logic and CMOS-logic in one compatible chips.

Of course, the 5400 series SSIs (small-scale integrated circuits) are preferred over the 7400s for industrial purposes, and as a plus they are completely backwards compatible. Why isn't NASA using those?

Oooo aren't you a Mr.BiologyGeek...

He seemed to have confused seals with dolphins....

good day to you & you can get back now to get to know dolphins even better!

Admittedly this was added on in response to Unix, but has been available in VMS for quite a while.

I am helping a friend in China get set up to use Peekabooty.

The way it works is basically that lots of people outside the firewall run proxy servers. People inside the firewall need to get Peekabooty's IP address list, and then they select a proxy to use. You can get the host.lst file from http://pabdb.cjb.net/.

Their web browsing is private because the connection to the proxy uses SSL encryption. The chinese will think you're shopping online. If they try to block the SSL port, then China will be unable to participate fully in the world economic system, increasingly so in the next few years.

The problem is that if Peekabooty's website isn't already blocked, it certainly will be soon. To avoid stimulating the interest of the authorities, I am making arrangements for my friend and I to have an encrypted conversation where I will tell him what he needs to do.

The peekabooty proxy runs on windows, but there is a linux port in progress. The people inside the firewall don't need to install any software, only configure their browser to use one of the SSL proxies.

It would be helpful for people to mirror Peekabooty's documentation and the IP address list. Likely many of the mirrors won't be blocked and so the chinese (and the Singaporeans, and residents of many Muslim countries) can access the information.

If you personally know anyone inside a firewalled country, do your part by helping them learn to use peekabooty. But find a way to arrange to tell them how while using encryption.

Unfortunately, PGP messages are pretty obvious that they're encrypted. If someone starts sending and receiving them, the authorities might take notice even of that.

But most web browsers nowadays support 128-bit SSL encryption. Thus it is possible to arrange to have a conversation with someone via SSL encrypted form submission.

There doesn't appear to be a way right now to do this, but it is being worked on.

In the meantime, mirroring the peekabooty instructions and proxy list and making the URL's available where the Chinese might pick them up will help get things started.

The italian government supports closed software... Thank you ;-))) Salvatore Meschini

Maybe this would help?

If you want popup killing (and ad killing, and lots of other nifty stuff), try The Proxomitron. Has worked pretty flawlessly for me (and bypass mode fixes things when it becomes overzealous). I need to spend some time learning how to selectively disable it though -- I don't mind ads on some sites (like /.).

For tabbed browsing, try MyIE2 or CrazyBrowser -- it's not a must for me so I haven't bothered trying either.

Of course, people will inevitably whine that Mozilla comes with all of this built in while you have to download add ons for IE. Which is amazingly hypocritical, since the traditional Unix mantra is that small programs that extend functionality are better than monolithic programs. Yes, I know Mozilla is extensible as well, but to bash IE for being extensible to include additional functionality is just bashing for bashing's sake.

Your complaint about Mozilla and the middle mouse button seems off. This is not a function of Mozilla - it's a function of your drivers. Tell your drivers to make middle click middle click instead of autoscroll, then Mozilla should treat it properly.

Heres one i quickly cobbled together

The text of the article can be found here

Well, this is advocacy (no I don't work for them), but try Opera. It's blazing fast, has tabs too, and a menu (accessible by pressing F12) from which you can select to enable/disable features like popup windows, background music, cookies, and what user agent string the browser should send to servers (this feature doesn't work correctly though, it just adds "MSIE" to the end of the string, still identifying itself as Opera). To be more aggressive on ads, try Proxomitron

When will SOMEONE post a story about the 'ad-words' link on Google's home page?!

Can You please insert some more links into your article. on slashdot?

I don't think I can possibly do all the background research myself.

My buddy's kid is still in High School. He not only had these same dreams - he actually sat down with his buddy and hacked out about 50K lines of C++ to produce a playable 3D shooter. From scratch, no less. (Krikes - and I thought the 1000 line poker game I wrote in High School was somethin...)

Cheap KVM Over IP?
Posted by Cliff on Monday August 05, @05:43PM
from the throwing-that-noisy-box-into-the-other-room! dept.
An anonymous reader asks: "I've been looking for a cost effective (ie, cheap) way to remotely administer several servers running a variety of OS's, and would like to have a solution that would allow for monitoring of the bios on startup, etc (ie, not VNC). The most appealing solution is KVM over IP, which really just means a souped up KVM switch with something like VNC running on it, unfortunately all of the solutions I've been able to find are more expensive than I can justify spending. I've played around a bit with making my own Poor man's KVM over IP; I did this by purchasing a cheap (sub $50) VGA-to-NTSC convertor, then feeding it into a video card with NTSC input (the ATI All-In-Wonder Radion), and then by logging into a machine running Windows Terminal Services I'm able to watch the reboot process. Of course, this doesn't address the mouse/keyboard issue, and the quality isn't all that great. What I'm hoping is that someone else might have a suggestion on how to do this, preferably using Linux and the least hardware necessary. Does anyone have any suggestions or insights on ways to do this?" There are pre-existing solutions, but it seems they are all kind of pricey. Can any of you suggest cheap solutions (at or below $500USD) that could handle a farm of 5-10 machines?

"Here are the three approaches I found:

ViewProxy: They make the most economical for administration of multiple machines (by one person). Their ProxyView device plugs into your KVM just like it was a monitor/mouse/keyboard, and then does all the packetizing magic. Price is about $6k from what I can tell.

eRIC: These are the same guys who make the Rolf (Reboot on Lan), which is pretty cool. They make a card called Eric which replaces your normal video card with their card, which has a built in ethernet connection and allows remote control. The cheapest solution at about $700 but only would allow control of the machine it's installed in.

Avocent: I think the first to introduce the whole KVM over IP solution, they have KVM's with this sort of functionality integrated. Some of their products allow multiple users to multiple machine, which is a neat feature but not needed for my applications. Their units run from $4k on up."

Im interested in working on something like this and would like to get more information about what youve got in mind. I tried to send you an email, but delivery failed. Could you goto http://rgbrenner.cjb.net/contact.html and send me your current your email address? Thanks. (Posting anonymously because its OT)

And good morning children, the following is the troll report:

Yesterday (and monday) were boring as boring could be. I mean i could have watched paint dry and ben more entertained. The slashbots are getting lamer by the minute as they can no longer find worthy stories...

What's wrong with "Ask Slashdot: Why is Jon Katz Sofa King we Todd did?" (say it out loud you fucktard)

Anyways, I managed to hang out in #slashdot on irc.slashnet.org (yeah, the 'offical' /. chan and they don't even allow trolls in, go fucking figure) for almost the whole day until someone finally snapped that I was proxy hopping to evade bans and banned me again. I could have hopped on a nnother proxy, but I didn't becuase i decided to pick me nose instead. My boogers are green.

Anyhow, as most of my 'dynamic posts' go, I need to start talking about something else before it just degenerates into a ran about the utter disgust I have for fags like jamie mccarthy, who's name I will not capitalize as a sign of disrespect. Oh right michael and malda are fags too. Do you know what taco snotting is? Well if you don't that's a good thing...

Oh right, propz to asspussy on his numerous FPs yesterday and the formation of a new troll IRC network. Maybe, if we do enough various drugs, we can convince ourselves we are leet and do something cool. or something. STFU i'll kill you, you lame excuse for a half rotted pimple on the ass of a herpes ridden warthog.

Perhaps today, today we will see something grand occur, something grand like Linux Pro. If you don;'t know what it is, make sure you check it out ASAP or you will get AIDS. This is true, just ask Geroge W. Bush or Keith Richards.

Oh right, WorldCom is abruptly terminating its internet services sometime very soon. I hope this means VA will dissappear like it should have last year, taking /. with it of course. malde might actually have to ask for his job at Wendy's back and jamie will have to move back into his parent's basement and give his dad head for rent, just like in the old days. I think his dad will be pleased with the skill jamie has developed in playing the male organ in his time at /.

That's enough for this post, as I'm getting bored.
