Don't use your slashdot journal? Philistine!

I'm taking a page from Kevin Rose and forwarding my journal to my Google+ profile.

Just got this mail from Systm:

Systm release tonight!
From the creators of thebroken comes a new downloadable tech show: "Systm" (pronounced system). While Systm is a general interest HOW-TO show, thebroken will continue to have 40'z and hacking ;)

Episode #1 will be released tonight at 8:00PM PST! To celebrate, we will be throwing a house party starting at 6:00PM. We'll fire up our live webcam of the festivities along with an IRC chat room. Chat with Kevin, Dan, Keith and Ron (systm/thebroken crew) along with other TechTV staffers (Leo, Pat, Yoshi, Martin, Alex, and others (Ramzi) have all been invited).

Visit the website now: http://systm.org/

When is thebroken episode 4 coming out?

After several weeks of lawyer negotations with G4 (my 9-5 job), they have agreed to release me from my contract. Friday May 27th 2005 marks my last day on the G4 network. That means we are focusing on thebroken / Systm FULL TIME! We are starting to plan the next episode of thebroken now, and we'll send out another update as we get closer to the release! Now that this is our full-time job, expect to see many more video releases coming your way!

The broken is honestly one of the worst shows I have ever seen. It doesn't show anything other then how to download pre-made applications and let them attempt to break passwords etc. I really doubt that even Kevin and his friends know what is actually happening behind the scenes of these programs and without the freely available downloadable tools they would be completely lost. Not to mention that the Broken ran out of material after three shows and all three of them had very little content. I mean one show they show you lopht crack and show you how to boot a linux distro from a cd. Another show they show you how to make your laptop explode in a way that is completely useless to anyone. Not even to mention the fact that no one cares what's on their laptops because they don't have the knowledge to be a threat to anyone with even the most basic knowledge of computers. Real insightful stuff.....

This is the show for the ultimate script kiddies; I mean the new shows name is systm. I'm surprised these script kiddies didn't pick a name like pwned or 1337. If you want to see how much of a tool Kevin is just check out his blog (http://www.kevinrose.com/) for his awesome hacker tips and insightful posts....

I greatly enjoyed The Broken. Whatever happened to it?

The Broken just released a few episodes. Apparently he's going to rerelease it again with systm (according to his blog, those are going to be his two flagship shows).http://www.kevinrose.com/

By the way, he has a website: http://www.digg.com/ which is like Slashdot but community-driven, give it a try.

" I'd very much like an x86 case that has the size and quietness of a Mini for a project (yes, I need x86, I have a Mini here too)."

Check it, we put a nano-itx mobo IN your mini

Although I haven't seen (or looked) to see if any nano boards are out in the wild yet.

e.

All? Loved? Both very strong words that may be overdoing it a bit. While I enjoyed TSS when Leo and Kate started it, it never was a truly geek show as another poster mentioned. Kevin (bit player then co-host) was the token "uber" geek and you had to wonder how much was knowledge vs showmanship. The show went downhill rapidly after Leo left. Leo now has a popular radio show. Kevin is off doing his own thing mostly. Patrick is doing occasional articles and recently started a blog. Morgan Webb has her own blog too, of course.

I signed up, put my referal link in a thread on Kevin Rose's website (http://kevinrose.com/), and got mine in about 3 weeks. Worked like a charm.

Not Long

the current mini ITX board will not fit inside the Mac Mini's case if you are trying to get the same footprint.... remember when Kevin Rose from TechTV tried to put a windows running thing in the Mac Mini case? he used a pre-release nano-ITX mobo.
This intel mockup is an empty plastic box with a wristwatch glued to the front. while Kevin could not fit in an optical drive, he got a lot farther than Intel did.
on top of that the Mac Mini has some extra room and an unused internal firewire connection that this week sparked speculation of possible future revision, or that the rumored built in iPod dock was in the plans at some point.

Although I agree with you, this Kevin Rose chap seems to be actively encouraging exactly those comments.

Pyramid schemes provide benefits to

<acronym title="suckers">participants</acronym>

For these $FREEITEM offers, there are two groups who stand to lose (and therefore underpin the entire scheme):

1. latecomers who sell their privacy and time for no eventual $FREEITEM (since they can't attract a further ~10 suckers); and
2. the advertisers themselves who spend more on the

   <acronym title="people who just demonstrated they are too cheap to pay for things anyway">qualified sales leads</acronym>

   than they will ever make up in sales conversions.

perhaps this may give people a better portrail of g4techtv ratings and stop cancelling shows and firing show hosts like the screensavers.

Kevin Rose tried similiar to this on The Screen Savers on G4TchTv.
I believe it was fillmybox@gmail.com and he asked everyone to send him attachments.
