This is really depressing.

Now that./ has officially died, where can we go for "News for nerds. Stuff that matters?"
Anyone have any non-youtube-reporting, nerdy news sites I can peruse?
"Brain typing" might not work so well for the average American male...
"The evolution of microprocessors has been SEX known to follow Moore's Law when it comes to steadily increasing performance SEX over the years. This law suggests SEX that the complexity of an integrated circuit, with respect to minimum component SEX cost, doubles every 24 months. This dictum has generally proven SEX true since the early 1970s. From their humble SEX beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase..."

As far as I know, he just wanted to visit sites like wikipedia, slashdot, and google images (our school has extremely strict filters) by tunneling through to his home proxy. At 7:30 in the morning, I highly doubt that he was looking at anything too controversial.
To watch USB drives, our school has software that automatically scans everything we bring in, flagging "suspicious files" for later inspection by an administrator (upon hearing this, half of the people in my computer science class went into notepad and copied/pasted long strings of random 0s and 1s into.txt files, which were later renamed "spyware.exe," "testTrojan.exe," etc.).
Hopefully we won't have to resort to using cds/dvds.
A guy at my school is on the verge of expulsion...
Why? He was caught bypassing the school's internet filters. They gave him a suspension and a chance to talk to the principal, but seeing as she's not exactly a tech-wizard, things didn't pan out well.
Supposedly he had "inappropriate software" on his USB drive (ghostzilla comes to mind).
I'd like to know what would happen if a significant portion of students copied those programs onto their own drives... What could they do?
As meme-ish as that appears, I actually agree.
Wiki-vandalism was a pretty big problem in my school... that is, until they went crazy with blocks. Now we have extremely limited access, even to non-wiki sites.
If we're not editing, there shouldn't be a problem.
I checked http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzz_testing.
Fuzz testing or fuzzing is a software testing technique that provides random data ("fuzz") to the inputs of a program. If the program fails (for example, by crashing, or by failing built-in code assertions), the defects can be noted.
Fuzz testing is often used in large software development projects that perform black box testing. These usually have a budget to develop test tools, and fuzz testing is one of the techniques which offers a high benefit to cost ratio. Seems like something that should have been caught in testing.
I'm not sure if this has been said already, but I attend a high school that blocks wikipedia, myspace, gmail, hotmail... the list goes on. Even the teachers can't access these sites. I assumed it was already standard procedure to block pages that might contain something "bad" (what's ironic, however, is the fact that we can get to nazi-propaganda sites...)
Is it me, or are our tubes a lot stricter than others'?

Young, blind phreakers seem to be the best...
Another good example is that of the "dikironium cloud creature" from TOS.

I can see it now... giant portraits of a mustachioed man, their captions all reading "Big Brother is watching you, eh?"
