Essential Anime
·
· Score: 1
Check out Tokyopop.com, or better yet get their magazine at most major booksellers. They cover the whole tokyo scene, but have a large section on anime. Lot's of reviews, and announcements of series that are in Japan now, and will play here soon. For those with satellite dishes, channel 2 out of tokyo (no, I don't know the freq.)carries a lot of the new ones if you want to watch the original series. As a note it is interesting to see both the subtitled and dubbed work, to see how they plaed the voices out originally.
In education, as far back as 1968, it had been determined that if you tell a group of kids how they are going to do, that is how they will turn out, both in the short term and long term. If you take a group of middle of the road students, put them in a class together, have the teacher tell them they scored so high on a test that they were being accelerated, they will live up to those expectations - on the whole. Conversely, take a group of students and tell them they are idiots and can't accomplish anything, and most will live down to that. This type of test can have the effect to go beyond even that with a student.

Phrack 55 released

Phrack is for people interested in security. period. Yes some of it might interest "skript kiddies", but a lot of it is good security info, noted both on the white hat and black hat sides. You make references to CAIC and CERT, but these outfits just tell you that a hole has been discovered and how to fix it..... Two problems with that.. 1) if they don't know how to fix it they don't tell you about it.. Phrack and other such sources at least tell you about it whether there's a fix or not. You can always disable the service or change revs, or even better, bother the programmers about fixing it. 2) C&C do not search for problems... hackers do. They then post their findings. Some of those when a soluton is found find their way into C&C pubs. But generally postings like Phracks announce it first allowing for adequate time to resolve the issues. Define respectible? Some of those "respecible" agencies were widely known for trying to get holes put in things. And further for asking that security breaches be passed on to them, but then not informing others, who were vulnerable, about the hacks...... I'll take any source of information i can get.
