Blinkenlights Reloaded - The Matrix Returns

Posted by timothy on from the but-with-better-dialogue dept.

An anonymous reader writes "On the occasion of this year's Chaos Communication Congress some hackers of the German CCC have set up another Blinkenlights installation in Berlin (they use the glass facade of a house as a giant computer screen). It is on the same house as from September 2001 till February 2002 but with similar capabilities to the installation in Paris in September/October 2002. Heise has a story about this (German, here's the Google translation), but actually there's better information on the project website itself."

    and Russ Feingold the Moron Spammer doesn't?

    Come on guys.

    The man approved the US's pathetic "anti-spam" law, the one that killed stronger State provisions. Now he hires out spammers to annoy the entire nation, trolling for money for his reelection bid.

    And the Slashdot editors want to hush it all up because he's a Democrat.

    In my mind, Blinkenlights is a *tad* less important than our getting betrayed by our elected officials.

      There was an article about the anti-spam law yesterday. Yeah, a front-page article with 556 comments is "hushing it up." Owned, bitch!

    Whether you are attending a private sex party or a public club, there are some good manners that should be followed. Obviously these rules will vary for different parties, but here are a few good rules to follow so that you don't become an unwanted guest and never get invited back again.
    • Don't be a sling lizard - In other words, don't get into a sling unless you have a play partner. And if slings are limited, give other people a change to use the sling.
    • Lay down paper towels on the floor before playing to collect any spilled lubrication. You may also want to place a paper towel under the bottoms butt. Wipe off the play area and the bottom completely before leaving the play area. It is the tops responsibility to make sure the lube is wiped off the bottoms butt and that the floor and sling or table is wiped off and clean for the next person.
    • Ask your host what the house rules are This includes where you are allowed to play and what supplies you should bring (I always bring my own lube, beverage, paper towels and other party supplies to private parties). At THE SLING you can bring your own lube or we sell it there. Bring your own beer if desired, we provide sodas, paper towels, gloves, condoms and shower. For all parties it's polite to bring your own towel in case you want to shower
    • Don't just walk up to a play session and join in It's best to try to get some eye contact to see if they want you to join in. It can be very distracting to be in a scene and have somebody just join in especially if you don't want them there.
    • Keep unnecessary conversation and noises out of the play area Try not to have regular conversations where people playing can hear you. Also, if you are a screaming or make loud noises during play, this may disturb other guests. Some people enjoy the loud moans and groans but many find it disturbing.
    • If you move any equipment around return it to the original spot when done For example, if you raise or lower the sling, return it to where it was when you got there. Or if you move a table or chair, return it.
    • Do not share lube. This can lead to the transmission of HIV and other diseases. The cans can become contaminated while playing so it's good to write you name on the jar of crisco or lube.
    • Wash off hands and arms and dick when done playing Preferrably with an antibacterial soap.
    • Don't walk around the party in street clothes or be a gawkerAt most play parties the guys are usually in jocks or chaps so that their butts are exposed

    Anyone who calls themself a "hacker", probably isn't.

    Anyone who calls himself anything is either schizophrenic or a braggart. So anyone calling himself a hacker is either a schizophrenic braggart hacker, or possibly isn't.

    "Hey dudes, I'm a schizo braggart hacker!"
