Wish I would have A) drank less so I could post more intellegiently (see spelling mistake and parenthesis within parenthisis) and B) gotten here sooner to let yall know whats up. I would estimate by no know statistics and only by experienced guesses, that most transactions of this sort happen in IRC, private IRC channels to be precise. In the underground world it's relatively easy to get credientials, but hard to "cash out" as they would say. So what really happens is that you sell stuff for pennies on the dollar (I've seen visa black cards advertised for 150$!) to someone who has the means to actually turn that into cash (read: mob/gangsters/stupid kids) who use all kinds of methods but the amatuer focuses on things like egold etc. Forums are notorious in the underground for being easy to penetrate by law enforcment and easily recorded, whereas IRC can be encrypted and you can generally vet who you are talking to with many others. Plus they can only find you channels and stuff if they know it, they dont know they cahnnel they cant find it. anyway, just a small slightly innacurate summarized glimpze into the world of identity theft.
Two words for most of congress. "FUCK YOU" Just cause that's what they do to America everyday. Who cares if we "anger congress" , we should have more things that anger congress. A government should be afraid of it's people and not the other way around. Fuck why can't I live like a normal free person in antarctica.... less booze for me...out
Old news is old. My company uses these and I have found them very useful, less because of how secure they are (even though they really are pretty good) but more for the "wow the customer" factor when some big wig sees me pull it out and I get to throw some ridiculous acronyms and make myself sound like james bond to him. Yeah, it's worth it. Now they need to catch up in the space department (space as in size, not space as in pew pew, chewbacca went that way)
This is pure conjecture, but to me it seemed as if when AMD and ATI became one team and Nvidia and Intel became the other, that it would make sense for each one to offer incentives (read: threats) so that their partner would not bend over for the competition. So its not like its completely up to Nvidia to start improving their standing with AMD because of pressure from Intel. If that made any sense, then I'll drink a couple more beers before posting next time. Out
As a long time PC gamer, I have come to the conclusion that there are only two reason to upgrade your video card. 1) A new fancy game you must play at high settings to enjoy needs more juice from your rig. 2) You find a good performance to price ratio card that fits your gaming needs. I tend to upgrade about once every year or year and a half. I am currently still running on the BFG OC 8800GT (for $200 in Dec 07). I play everything from the good old stand by counter-strike: source, left 4 dead, call of duty 4, far cry 2, ut3 and many more to the non graphically intense without so much as a hiccup. (I am always looking out for a new game that is worth my money and though I tend to stick to FPS I still like RPGs and MMORPGs and even the occasional RTS) Graphics != Good gameplay.
As a long time valve player that keeps up with mods, and even make maps everyone once in a while, I have been chomping at the bit for this. Having used the tutorials included to get familar with the required L4D entities, I would say this is the biggest step forward for valve, but mostly for hammer that I have seen. The reason is simple, hammer is not easy (easy compared to maya and softimage) but not easy to design a level within, by allowing me to do most of the design in sketchup I can reduce the time spent just doing basic design (walls, floors ect) by more than half. That being said...the requirement to have these objects grouped before being able to export to vmf, and then to hammer for fine tuning, is quite an annoyance. I did an entire scientific lab layout last night in about 1 hour and tried to export it but once the vmf got into hammer literally none of my brushes imported because a couple of them hadnt been grouped properly. (which is also part of the not allowing convex surfaces in hammer thing). Anyway, overall great step, and it is still just in beta......
As a combat vet in the (USMC), instead of just lurking like usual I feel I should input my thoughts on the subject. I was in the mideast when Operation Phantom Fury started, and volunteered to go replace guys the were wounded like a good Marine, but didn't get to. So while I don't have Fallujah experience directly, I have lots of buddies who did. One thing you have to understand is the difference between the first and second battles, the former of which was basically a complete failure, and then that damned Mr. Conway fucking GIVES the fallujah brigade (read: insurgents pretending to be US allied) a supply of US weapons, hoping they would control the city, but then of course they just run away with US supplied weapons ready to kill US soldiers. This is what spurred the Second battle. The school incident just created more insurgents, and on top of that Al-Zarqawi was suspected to be there too. So we started warning the city, basically get the fuck out if your a civilian, and if your an insurgent go ahead and stay but were coming for your ass with extreme prejudice. Supposedly about 80+/-% of the civilians actually left, and then we started. I was fucking intense and fast, and more or less everything that moved got shot for the most part. We kicked ass and took names, but, and its much more complex than this, your have to distinguish the difference between nonlocal and local insurgents, and what we called martyrs and guerrillas. What happened was that with our warning, most of the non-local guerrillas left the city as civilians, and we were left with mostly local martyrs and guerrillas. This is what destabilized the anbar province afterwards because they figured out that if they just left what ever new area of operations we set up, they could continue their work. So ramadi, haditha, hit, ect turned into new insurgent holdouts. Okay, I could keep going on, but in regards to the game, its just a fucking game. I am an avid gamer, and have played counter-strike since beta 1.2. It's a game that helps me relieve stress and have fun with buddies online, usually trash talking in ventrilo. Its for fun. That being said, I think what people are missing the most is that this game is mostly being put together with the help of veterans that want to tell THEIR STORY. Stories you hear from vets are guaranteed to be more interesting and singular than you ever hear on the news. Many of the vets doing so are very similar to the ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and I willing to bet they would approve just as much. The question is, is the main purpose to be fun, tell a story, or be realistic. Whatever it is, they need to do a good job of it. Now, all that being said, war is not pretty and I don't think it should be portrayed as such. How about a game where you start in boot camp being all patriotic and kill kill kill, and progressively learn that the real world doesn't work like that, that you do things that will haunt you for the rest of your life for some faceless politician who doesn't even respect the same constitution you swore to uphold, you realize war is just a racket (and one you were a part of) for rich men to get richer while poor men get "deader" and that your country is going down the drain faster than if someone just cleaned it with drain o, and now you, a true patriot, are even ashamed sometimes to call yourself American and even are considering moving to another country because of how helpless you feel to do anything about anything because you think that anything short of a real revolution and we are doomed... Well, for lots of young veterans, that's not a game, its called life.
I got to play with these series (I think these are the ones, so much information overload there) at CES this year. I was asking the poor HP rep all kinds of questions about the the OS and what kernel but was fairly impressed with his responses. I was shown 3 different configurations, the best but largest one being the "business" edition. I played with the interface and browsed the web a bit and generally messed around, and I really think the interface was very responsive, snappy even, and that this is the direction netbooks should head / are heading. And that it runs NIX is just so awesome in itself that's just extra points. The netbook with nix has been done before, but personally never this good. I think I may get the boss to get me one for running around town with!
Who wants to bet that somehow there is some club owners association that oversees the "clubs" and the association has to pay a fee or percentage to someone somewhere in government there. It's always about the damn money and/or control people!
I'm just a disappointed idealist, you can call me a cynic.
A)part-time work there till I get my degree and get passed up if it goes sky-high, but safe we go under or B) get certs and start saving for retirment early with a small chance of the company going under (as with any startup) Im still about it, but just thought I'd let anyone else know another similar thinking situation.
Im actually working at a startup tech support company right now. Im having fun working part-time trying to write a few of my own apps and working on a book, but my boss keeps asking me to come back on full time. His incentives are to a) make me a partner b)profit sharing - aka - 10% of every quarter of the companies profits as a quarterly bonus(this isnt real big right now, but were growing so fast, I could see it get pretty high) c)buy me whatever new laptop I want for work. The crux is that I havent finished my degree (international business) yet, and am torn between the need for education, the debt I'm already in, and the potential security and potential profits for me. So I would want to work on my certs (CISSP, CCNP ect), but for me its a question of A)pabout it, but just thought I'd let anyone else know another similarart-time work there till I get my degree and get passed up if it goes sky-high, but safe we go under or B) get certs and start saving for retirment early with a small chance of the company going under (as with any startup) Im still thinking situation.
Great opening, insult me and then ask for a rational explanation of my position. Someone needs to go back to college rhetoric 101! (see I can do it too =P)
I should clarify that I dont think Vista is unstable. At least not as much as XP. I deal with both daily. It is the overall package of vista, small bugs, interfaces changes that annoying to end users that like stuff "where they usually are", legacy program support, the dreaded overall polish, and ESPECIALLY the weird things done to TCP/IP and networking that make it good enough for home users, but not quite worth the trouble for a company to upgrade to.
But in all seriousness, for the most part, anyone who was going to buy Vista more than likely has already, minus those companies that are waiting for hardware leases to be up.
Ahh, but "then a good SP won't matter!, they aren't going to buy Vista if they haven't already" you say, trying to use my previous point against me. Well, a lot of the time a business decides the next step in regards to IT by *gasp* consulting the IT guys. I personally work with many medium to small size businesses and have the influence to say "Yes you should upgrade to vista." or "No, you should wait for windows 7 depending on how it progresses." So, a service pack that does enough good stuff to impress the IT guys could potentially make them much more friendly to recommending a Vista upgrade vs wait for 7. And I bet there are more guys like me out there keeping a keen eye on stuff like that.
Regardless, the entire point is moot. What you or I think doesn't matter, if you would have ready my original post, you would see that I said "That may not be the actuality, but I bet a handful of people think that way there.(referring to Microsoft)" So all it takes is a couple of people at Microsoft thinking that they can get even a fraction more revenue by withholding the Vista SP till closer to Windows 7 release, and I garunfuckintee you they will do it like that, whether its based on fact or not.
And before you say "Well Microsoft would fact check that stuff more so they know if it really will make them more money." Think about this, THEY'RE ALREADY DOING IT THAT WAY, so they must be onto something.
Well, like any/.er, I didnt RTFA or even read up on what kind of things are included in the SP2. I automagically assumed (ass, meet u and me) that it would fix issues across the board, stability, drivers, my wang isnt big enough, ect. What version of earth do YOU live on were we RTFA?
Microsoft doesn't want to release it soon, even if they could. The reason: less stable vista = more reason to upgrade to windows 7 (read: more money for Microsoft). That may not be the actuality, but I bet a handful of people think that way there.
On a side note, Ive been running Windows 7 beta for a week now (I decided to be ahead of the curve for all future OS releases due to the nature of my job) and am overall very impressed (I know, shoot me and throw overboard into/. shark waters)
Its faster (especially restart times!) and overall more polished. Now, it should of been windows vista in the first place, but its too late to go back in time with my machine (lost a watchyamacallit and a thingymajiger) I really suggest if you havent to at least throw up a VM of it sometime.
You look at the screen.
You open up Firefox.
You eat a burger.
You have sex(most/.ers wont know this, but it gives a "Stop, are you sure you want to continue and humiliate yourself?" prompt
You breathe too heavily.
You use the restroom.
And then, when you switch to linux,
su gives you a message that says "Its about time you fskin idiot!"
I've been wondering something similar, but what Im looking for is something that is the equivalent of google docs, calendar, ect that I can host on my own webserver. (dreamhost is pretty awesome)
For my work at a newer IT Support company and for my own school and personal files, and since Im always running all over town and use my iron-key, a easy to install cloud computing setup would make my life a lot simpler, and if there is no such thing, there is definitely a market for it. Any ideas anyone?

Like microsoft would dream of such a dastardly idea? It will be called the "Windows Clouds 2010" And have a default background of...gasp..clouds. And then there will be all kinds of cloud related monikers like stormy storage, lightning load speeds, thunder media player etc. Then we will all galavant around in our happy cloud-filled windows certified lives saying stuff like "Microsoft will save us from evil data thieves!" Maybe we should just pull our heads out of the clouds? I want to ride away on a cloud of despair and doom!....../snaps out of strange behaver/......where am I? i dont have blue curtains...why am I on the bathroom floor?
This may bit just a bit offtopic, but what gets me is how he is being threatened with 60 years in prison. Yes what he did was illegal. Yes the charges are trumped up, as are the recovery "costs". But 60 years?!? Fsk, I personally know some lawyers that have gotten rapists down to 3 years in a minimum security facility. I dont even know where to start about how idiotic our justice system is, and the sad thing is that everyone knows it but doesnt want to do anything about it./end rant
it needs to be more fun. The solitaire effect comes to mind. I have always HATED it when people have the latest and greatest uber gaming PC, then they sit down and play fskin solitaire for two hours! Indie games are good in principal, but Id much rather spend the little time I have to waste time on something like my old whore counter-strike (since it came out baby!), or something new and shiny. Indie MODs are where the real good stuff is at. (see previous whore example). All the games reviewed looked like bland boring versions of something I bet I could find somewhere else for free already...if I wanted to waste all that time looking for something so dull anyway./end rant
