Don't set up yourself. Use the address of the principal or your least favorite admin. I'm sure when the SWAT team comes through his door he'll see why "tip lines" aren't such a good idea, not to mention the revenge potential.
When you see one of those cans in a store, or see some donation place, it's often run by someone else who takes most of the money for themselves. Amazon has set up an interesting paralell. While %15 is not much by first look, it really does add up when you have a few million in donations cross their wires. I think it would be better for them to send a check in to the people, despite the convience of this type system. That way you are sure all the money goes to the group it belongs to. And I wouldn't trust their privacy policy as far as I could throw it. It would be rather easy to slip a web bug into an image for the "donation system."
Mabye I'll try to convince my science teacher to build one, we could shoot holes in plywood or something. My friend once asked the science teacher if he built a tesela coil if he could bring it in, she said yes! Unfortunately he didn't build a tesela coil, which would have aslo been very cool.
A bunch of computers connnecting to the central computer to get their data/CPU power, vaguely similar. The critical thing is that they have good physical security of the lines that go to the server net, lest they get tapped into. Another idea might be to make dumb terminals with encrypted communications and connect those to the server. The day of huge centralized computers set up in such a manner was near ending I thought, but it may see a small revival in cases such as this. It may be possible to upgrade the ROM in a dumb terminal to handle an encrypted protocol, but it may be easier to design from the ground up I bet.
they are the fools. One day we will be able to rise above their level, if we havn't already and they're scared as hell of anyone with more power than them. Anyone who had a remote amount of power over administration could probally run the whole school! Power would be simple to get without violence at any school. Methods of trying to aquire power through violence towards your peers is rather dumb, as the cops would get involved. I have numerous people ask me if "I make bombs" and I reply "that's illegal." Why use explosives when there are things that are so much more powerful? Couple of ideas for people here if you really want to get even at school. Please keep in mind I claim no liability for doing these things, they are the result of a "crazy" mind. =0
1)blackmail the admin. Follow the principal around. He have a stash of pot growing in his back yard? unfaithful to his wife? Take some pics and make them "appear" next time something goes down, and keep the negatives elsewhere. I'm sure he'll see your perspective better from then on, if not he'll be busy with other things.
2)anon tip lines. Oh the fun you can have with these. Either crack em or even better get it so there are messages about teachers/admin on them. "Yeah, I saw a kid who had a stack of 20 pipe bombs, he lives at . Boy won't he be in for a surprise when they learn who's been tipped off to! Or even better, use the tip line to report what you're blackmailing the guy for. Imagine if the cops get a hold of it without the principal knowing, he'd get his house raided elian style. I bet the "tip line" would be shut down in twenty minutes flat! These are just my rantings, so I ask of you not to be a jerk and try these without proper "motivation."
My school has a renta cop (ex real cop) doing "security" for the school. I have never really gotten in trouble at the school, just been at the end of some nasty rumors (last I heard came from a teacher I used to have. I never met the lady untill one day something happened between a teacher and a student. The renta cop walks up to me and addresses me by name, which leads me to believe that the lady had to have seen some file on me. I have seen this lady four or five whole times, never said a word to her either. But that's not the fun part. A teacher that used to work at my school and who is a good friend of the family invited the family over one day, and somehow I got on the subject of that. Then I learned the shocking part. I was "black listed" at the school!
Another good one is the time I was in the computer lab and the principal walks up to me and goes "hey ****, built any bombs lately?" as casually as one asking how the weather is today. I said "no" and just stood there for a few minutes gawking because of what just happened!
Of course me and my IRC buddies had a good laugh at this, it doesn't happen every day afterall!
If you give someone permission to pick the lock on your house you have to assume they will be sucessful. Even if they enter your house for a moment to prove their sucess, they have your permission to gain access. When he stated that it was contractual and he is under obligation to live up to his part of the contract, giving them permission to try and crack the machines. The thing I don't like about it is the fact that it does sound vaguely like the the undercover cop going "yeah, dealing drugs is great" and suckering the guy into selling crack then busting him for it. There are laws against entrappment, but I am not sure wheter they apply to law enforcement only, or what their scope is. But on to flaming the teacher. He was a moron for asking a group of CHILDERN to try to crack his system. There are a lot of childern who konw more about computers at that school than he does I bet. The pace tech goes at these days Mostly young people of the world are keeping up at even a decent pace. He should have also realized there was a good chance for his comment to be taken literally. He was also a fool to let his ego get to him. People like him give teachers a bad name.
By the time it affects my place (they get it installed) will probally be three years down the road. afterall, they hire out thier lame excuse of "service" to someone else. My hope is I'll be out of here by the time that junk gets installed. My feelings go to the people that have to put up with this. Don't forget to visit peacefire.org at school, while you can. Boy do I bet there are gonna be a lot of pissed people when stickdeath.com is blocked! =)
The tone of the letter is that their customers are suckers, not to mention stupid. The "PC or Mac" debate comes out in this letter too, but is instead the "Linux or windows" debate. We must be convincing when we talk of the advantages of linux. We must also take any oppertunity to spread the word about Linux Another thing that's critical is to be conservative in processing power yet powerful in what an OS can do. Many ofice managers would be very excited to learn they can get another 4 or 5 years use out of their old 486 or pentium machines. This saves them money, which motivates them to go to Linux at the same time. He is right in one critical thing however. We all must be one, or we will be none. We must become a single organized force, lose the bickering about which GUI is best, which distribution is best or else his prophecy of Linux causing it's own destruction will be true, and it will go into obscurity as did OS2. We must make one distribution with one GUI that is so powerful it is like nothing the world has seen before. We must also support our bretheren the reverse enigeneers and people on other open source projects. With their cooperation we will be able to make drivers that are even more efficient than Windows drivers, and make projects that are higher power than windows, and only with their cooperation. To have the best software to accompany the OS we need these people to have as much understanding of how the OS works. This is a key flaw in the closed source system of Windows and the similar. Even though they do release APIs, these aren't as good as the source for designing programs around. We must even support other non Linux opensource related projects such as OpenBSD, FreeBSD and the similar. If we help these devolpers, the favor will be returned in the long run many times over when they devolp software that is ported to Linux and other OSes, and that we will trade ideas and make both operating systems better in the long run by such an information exchange. Information exchange is critical and goes hand and hand with unity. We will surely fall without the exchange of ideas and code.
and for crying out loud, don't leak this memmo =)
I don't like propaganda, so I just ignore that stuff. I don't do drugs myself, but I dislike all the techniques they use to brainwash people. It's like in 1984, where the people are made to think they are being controlled for their own good and they never get a chance to explore what's out in the world, because the facts are all made from the prespective of the party and are crammed down everyone's throat.
Apple has sued everyone else that has made anything even close looking to their products, is Nintendo next? I find it completely redicilous that they sued that many OEMs over "all in one" machines, they've been around even before Mac was. I think TRS-80 came out before the Lisa which were both "all in one" so mabye Tandy should sue apple. (rant alert eh?)
wouldn't it be bad if your jacket blue screened NT

"The electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud" --The Mentor
That is indeed the religon of many who roam the digital world. Some say it's just a machine, but to others such as myself, the machine has a soul, it gives so much and asks for hardly anything in return. We devote ourselves to the machine, and knowing it better. For that is what the meaning of hacking is. In devoting ourselves to the machine, we better ourselves. It doesn't matter what you are running, from an Athalon to a Comodore 64, it's there. One day I hope to unlock the mystery, but I have a long way to go, as it is a journey that never ends. Why bother with other religons when there is one right here, right now.
I have heard of such laws in effect, and did point out once that the ratings system is being enforced. banning or restricting something only makes it more wanted in the eyes of some. K-mart and Wal-Mart have made a move that sort of surprises me. I'd think their greed would cause them to tell the goverment and lawyers to g to hell. Of course, there is always the liability issue and harassment by politicians. But they have sacrificed their profit margin to restrict the games to minors. If I want a game, I can get the demo for free, and even the real game forfree if I was to lack ethics. It's like banning assult riffles; those who want them bad enough will get them.
This article contained the tripe
''We cannot expect that the hours spent in school will mold and instruct a child's mind but that hours spent playing violent games will not.''
Are these losers implying that school is %100 innocent in all of the shootings that these games are supposed to be interlocked in? Is it not true that people who commit these horrible acts are partially twisted and corrupted by the school that alienates them? Is it not true that revenge is a primary motive of these people? Is it not true that violence among minors is down, even with the rising of the numbers and bloodiness of vidieo games? Pardon me if I come off as being a bit trollish to people.
It'll probally run similar to an ATX power supply, but with a different connector, as to force you to upgrade those. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried for force Rambus to be used with them either. But, to the point of this. I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to tweak an ATX power supply to run the board. I also imagine the board mounts will be nearly the same, except the holder for the heatsink, which shouldn't be too hard to add. of course, this fits in with the "upgrade cycle" that they try to get you on.
Exile III has been ported to Linux, www.spidweb.com. Requires the latest version of GlibC if I remember correctly. I like the RPGs, and can't wait for Wizardry 8 to come out. It's supposedly in windoze only though:(. Wizardry and Might and Magic are both game series that have been around since the 80s. I remember when I used to have Wizardry for the C-64, I'd stay up half the night some times trying to get somewhere on it. The graphics are lousy by todays standards, but the game played well. I think we should start moving away from pretty graphics and get back to having games with plots instead of doom clones.
Of course he said Red Hat, RH is one of the weaker distros as far as security. If he was so sure of NT's security, he'd mention other distros security. He also mentioned just NT 4.0. What about Win 2K, with it's 65,000 bugs? Last I heard the service pack for Win2k was 83.9 Megabytes, my bet is that's not just to make it look prettier and fluffier. I bet he also mentioned stuff for all apps installed in even a full install. If you install so many additional progs, of course you're gonna have more exploits. NT doesn't have as many apps by default. He also forgets to mention the great strides NT takes to keep bugs quiet. I bet that all of this has been mentioned, but I figured it would be good to wrap it into a neat little backage.
When I first saw the pic of the top, I said to myself "that looks like a sandal," so I dropped the link in with my IRC buddies and they agree that it looks like a piece of footware from the top.
Many so called "geeks" are loners as far as many sitiuations go. They find ways of socializing that aren't "normal" to others, such as chatting. What if the ladies aren't comfortable with this because it violates their nature. Computers take a lot of time and devotion, which isolates ppl from the non computer world a bit. Some people find this unnatural, both men and women. oh well,this rant is really going nowhere.

Yeah, a good idea in deed. Make it so you can add/remove sites manually so you don't get the orwellian factor goind as much.
