Let everyone know why you use it, and post it. Have your account re-created under a slightly different name, and export your friends list just incase they deactivate your account.
It's better when you own your domain, cause then you can have infinate emails from which to start accounts..facebook@ yourdomain.com, facebook2@yourdomain.com, facebook2andahalf@yourdomain.com (etc.)
Use dogbone to kill those adds, and replace images w/ a 1x1 picture, or if you're like me, I use it to load random pron interspersed w/ the normal web pages. I tell my wife that the internet is just so "dirty."
I have a 2 tier wep / wpa2 tkip setup that I'd love to do this on the wep side. The wep is actually a "Guest" router for friends and family. The wpa2 side is for my work laptop, the zune, and the netflix box.
I know some kid has been on my network before, because his dad TOLD ME! But it wasn't secure then (not that wep is) it would be fun to set up something like this, or proxy to a page containing the whole web, three pages of it. The "allowed" web pages could be a rickroll, slashdot, and my website only.
1. Get that special in-wall drilling kit. It saves REAL $ & time in the long run! It makes it so you cut your box hole in the wall, fit your drill bit into that and you can now drill through the subfloor or ceiling while staying inside the wall making your cable job look pro instead of done like Best Buy. (I'd show pictures of some stuff of theirs I repeaired, but I don't want to scare anyone)
2. Get a fiberglass fishing stick &/or fishing tape. (Not to be confused w/ Uglystick or Shakespear!)
2.5 If you are crazy & have some extra $ lying around like my best friend, buy some nice conduit to run the cables through. He's stark raving mad I tell you, as this was about a doubling in time, but only requires you to go under the house or in the attic one time. Pulling cables goes a bit faster, and makes things look really nice for the next owner.
3. Buy your Cat5e or Cat6 cable from an electric supply store, and NOT home depot. You'll save enough right there to buy the above tools.
4. Decide if you ever want to crimp again, if the answer is yes, then get a good cable crimper, if it is no, then buy a cheap one from radioshack.
Plan a weekend to do it (it won't take that long if you plan).
Plan your runs on paper, with labels for each cable, where they will all meet.
You can buy a fancy schmancy box or you can use a small old electrical panel like I did. It's clean, looks good, has a door, and was deep enough for everything I need. It was free and holds a plugstrip, cable modem, small patch panel, and a switch.
Decide how much you really need. Wireless works good enough for streaming most content, but that will change, so will wireless speeds.
When wiring,
Label one side of the cable (a,b,c,d,e,f, etc...)
Pull / fish the cable
THEN cut. Then label other side!
Never assume you can guess the length because you'll always need a longer piece than you think, or you'll burn through 2x the cable you really need. Of course you've done this a few times, you can probably go ahead and do this.
Why Label your cable on both sides of the cable? So when testing, you don't go round and round in circles. All cat 5 ends start to look the same at the end of a long day drilling and pulling, and you'll greatly speed things up if you do this, trust me!
BTW gigabit througout the house is really handy sometimes! Makes connecting new devices a snap. Wireless bridges work well, but they just aren't the same, and are prone to drop-outs right in the middle of that all important scene.
Such as going though the same stud hole, you just don't want to run them side by side for any long length, and even then, you more than likely will just lose a bit of thuroughput.
Me?
I pulled 2 cables of Cat5e to every room. It ended up being a HUGE boon for me when I got one of those fancy routers w/ a display on it. I keep the cablemodem in the garage, w/ the home run / patch panel and the router in my office hung nice & pretty so I don't have to go to the garage unless i'm sure the router isn't getting an IP address.
And with that, I agree. The phone, for me is a phone. It will still be a few years before it can be an adequate computer, because it's a phone 1st.
Rest assured, that time will come in our very near future if nexus one is any indication. I've always wanted a phone that can run Logmein.com over wifi. This way I can have my home computer doing things that would be otherwise too slow, or complicated on a phone when I am at work, or away from home. That would bypass the need for me to carry my laptop when I travel.
There are all kinds of things I'd have it do and be able to accomplish. But alas, it won't be so for a while. Though I hear it works on droid.
Anyone use logmein.com on a Droid?
P.S. I use it because it's super easy, works great, and their sales rep told me NOT to buy a license (I never need it for more than 1-4 pcs and it's got a 5 pc lic for free edition)
I use a 2400 modem to call google voice and record the e-mail. Then my computer uses dragon to transcribe them back to digital, then print. I use fed-ex (Hey, not too many donkeys around anymore ya know?) to send them to my mail box. I retreive them from the mailbox by walking up hill in the snow both ways! (but replies go back to the mail box on a belt system).
BEAT THAT!
**note above challenge was tongue in cheek, nothing was real, and if you so much as are reading this post today, you've already won.**
I'm actually afraid that TSA will blow up an airplane by mistake. Here's a small example.
I take a lot of pictures when I'm traveling for fun. I usually carry about 16hrs worth of batteries (which is about 1 AA / hour at the rate I shoot.) So I go to security w/ my batteries all nicely packaged tight. 4 in the cam, (A cannon S5IS, a good cam for my poor budget) and 3 sets of 4 in my camera bag. Each set is stable, all positives up, all in different locations in the bag. In the camera bag I have a micro tripod, a few lenses & cleaning cloth, and the charger for these batteries.
Some idiot at TSA takes them ALL and dumps em into a big ziplock. Loose, then tried to hand them to me. I just about shit a brick. I'm like hey, you can start a fire... (2650mah rapid discharge cells, not the strongest out there, but nothing to dismiss either) Whoops, I said the magic word. That led to a 20 minute wait while they determined that the batteries and camera posed no risk after they used "TSA tape" to tape them all together in a giant brick. This only after an interview about why I had the batteries and how they could catch fire. (by throwing them all in a bag loose!)
I'd shudder to think how they treat R/C lipos, where mishandling WILL cause a fire vs. might if things are just right...
To those who have never experienced a loose battery setting something on fire, it's not a fun experience.
Exactly. If a client loses their pics, they usually place a value of 0-Infinity on them.
$0 if they are on face book, and available to the world.
If they are a hobby photographer, they usually are in the range of 100-500 usd.
If they lost nude pics of themselves to a malware infection, it could be infinate... 8')
I don't discriminate though, and help as many people as cheaply as possible.
The question is what is the cost to implement and use vs. the level of increased protection?
In reality, if someone wants to break encryption for real, they are going to have more resources to break encryption than any one person will have invested in encryption & dedication to using it, which is a fundamental problem for all types of security.
Locking a car is easy, and keeps most people out, but most people don't try to get in...
So if you limit it to the number of people who try to get in, the first to break a window, or use a tow truck gets the car.
The drones are allready there. You can put an R/C plane in the air in 1 hr for about $200 to take ariel video.
Spend ~700 you can get FPV AV and still pics and a gyro stabalized plane.
Spend ~900 and you can get FPV, and data logging including path traveled, altitude, airspeed, and gps.
Spend 1K (that's most of our payechecks) and you can get all the above with waypoints and return to home.
Spend just another hundred more, and you can power that setup for over 45 min. in the air. Oh, and it's silent. Next to no noise as percieved from the ground.
It's pretty scary actually, but I love how inexpensive the hobby has gotten. I'm not into the telemetry side yet, but I've done AV. I'm more of a speed / 3D freak at the moment. I've got a 100mph plane whose power setup was about $120 from a place in hong kong. I can fly it top speed for about 7 min or pulse glide for over 1/2 hr. It's sweet!
Ubiquitous monitoring encrypted at 2048... why would they want to hear me fart, and then encrypt it at that rate?
Dude take off your tinfoil hat, their rays can penetrate that now. Please switch to a graphene and lead cap asap. I have one for sale for a measley 2.2 mil. Comes w/ bottle opener, and guiness logo. May only stop rays from one direction. Void when worn over a toupe or comb-over. Not effective on bare skin. Some side efects have been experienced. These include but are not limited to: spontaneous combustion, alien abduction, dreams of standing on a myan tempmle w/ thousands of naked ladies throwing pickles at you, itchy eyes, atraction to fat chicks, and sometimes in rare occurences death, resurection, then death again. Batteries not included. Not valid with any other offer. This coupon has No cash value.
Informative post. That's what I was thinking, just not so elaborately.
I guess that's what I was wondering. Is the key size doubling going to do much for "ME" in the next 5 years? What I don't know is what is the cost of the 2Mbit key in system resources to implement in an aplicable way?
Mind you I know nothing of these details, just typing out loud.
2. I don't keep anything private except pins,passwords,and underpants.
I guess I forgot though that there is this new fangled graphics card as a processor thing... I suppose some malware creator could create a distributed program taking advantage of the power of a graphics card to break these down. In which case, 2048 is a only a few years away (but by then graphics cards will be as big as a TV acording to the size of my 5870)
for all cockmast users. Running something is better than nothing. I like how it manages in/out bound conn. There are things that do it better. But lately, I question there abililty to keep up definition files though, as I too have seen a few machines get pegged recently.

Thank you!
a new phone every year for the last 10 years. Even one of my first phones, some Nokia from 2000, could play snake and solitaire.
You are my new best friend.
If it wasn't for KITT I wouldn't know how to perform a flawless in lane J-Turn!
P.S. it's not as easy as it looks in the movies!
When you cross the two encryption streams you may get total protonic reversal, or you may get 1 REALLY POWERFUL STREAM.

Sorry mom & dad. You have to pay an extra $10/month for that shiny new 42" T.V. I got you for Christmas
