TSA rep: "All passengers will place their heads into the magnetic lie detector and answer the simple question: 'Are you a hijacker?' If you answer in the affirmative, you will be detained. Please remove earrings and other metallic objects."
And then they'll reverse the magnets and ask "Were you comfortable with the security screening procedures you just experienced?"
I went to Defcon 16 and brought my laptop. I set up Wireshark on it and connected to the unprotected Wifi (I think the SSID was Warzone). A few minutes passed. Then an hour. Nothing happened. I didn't see so much as an arp flood, port scan, or even an attempt to connect to my Samba shares. I even enabled the guest account so people could download stuff from me without a password.
For the average Joe, which are most of the 'consumers', yes it is.
Yeah, but they have friends. I used to get asked about how to use Kazaa, Limewire, Bittorrent, etc all the time. Now that they've moved on to iTunes and Netflix, the requests are down considerably.
It will be interesting to see how the community responds to this.
Furthermore, when the ban was enacted, in order to produce CFLs at a price people wanted them at, light bulb companies simply moved their factories to China.
Thank God we have the government telling us what to do!
eMule still works. I am finding more and more garbage these days when I use its search feature for video and programs, but for music, it works pretty well.

Sadly, there is prior art.
Makes me wonder if a prerequisite for getting into upper management is being into bondage.
Okay, the safety word is "GPL!"
A better way to do this would be to require documentation of work done.

Working for me, and I'm at work!

How many points will I get if I hack rankmyhack.com?

I was sorely disappointed.

My guess is something like this.
Coming soon, to a country near you...
In Soviet Russia, the government hacks LulzSec!
The entire Chinese internet is like visiting MySpace. The few sites that cater to us expats usually have non-Chinese designers.
Oh, so that's where GeoCities went!
Unfortunately there's other considerations to be made like... making sure you don't become "invisible" to your employer/manager.
That's not always a bad thing
Firefox skin that makes it look like Netscape: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxscape/
That, and, sometimes I also set the Windows theme to "classic." :)
CFLs are also toxic: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7431198

Maybe they should use the nVidia/ATI numbering solution:
Coming soon: Firefox 8800 GTX
My computer is so old, theirs hand-me-downs from America might actually be newer.
I wonder if we'll start seeing ISPs billing you extra for every additional device you connect to your home network.
I think I recall that site. It said that Microsoft's only innovation in user interfaces was the combo box -- which is a terrible design.
Like the one used to assign mod points? Oh, the irony!
Percentages don't mean anything. Numbers can be skewed so many ways its not even funny.
Just because some greeny stuck a hose up his ass and lit his farts to make sear his tofu doesn't make it renewable energy.
For example, this article says that coal power is cooling the earth...

There are also sites like TV Underground and ShareReactor that provide good ed2k links.
Tor I believe uses port 443 to communicate with relays. (At least there is an option to use it if the normal port is blocked.)
9050 is just the port it listens to locally.
Ironically (?), Tor receives a lot of funding from the US Government. They did a presentation at Defcon a couple years ago.
Maybe by the time they figure out how to shut Tor down, we'll have developed wireless mesh networks.
In Soviet Russia, authoritarian law is reason for Anonymous & LulzSec.
