    this would be about as bad as going to octoberfest getting BLASTED and then going down the autoban with the pedal to the metal and playing chicken with a semi (or an M1-A1) driving a RABBIT

    nat/firewall is like a one way mirror on the 1 side its transparent on the other side its a mirror.

    If you try to shoot a target on the other side you don't know
    1 who is on the other side
    2 how many whos are on the other side
    3 what configuration the whos are (any cops/feds/military dudes wearing what)
    4 where which who is

    plus if the "mirror" is any good its also tempered/Bulletproof so you would need armour peircing bullets

    so at what level does the ISP preset? (and how much can they upcharge for RUC??)
    what i could see is an ISP putting The Portable Suite on the "happy disc" and then preloading some filter sets as side dishes and if the customer wants the filter they can load either one of the sets or download some from the isps site

  11. Re:Start the video at 00:34 on How Sega Ruined Sonic the Hedgehog · · Score: 1

    this would be rather short instructions to after starting the video either zone out for the first 33 seconds or fast forward past the intro which contains a less than average intelligence person talking (many times a video will have markers in the form of HH:MM:SS to indicate times where "the good parts are"

    that would be wheres WALDO and im quite sure that in some areas the trucks will have very mysterious "malfunctions" since some folks do not want to be Photographed or Videoed (really how close would they be able to get to say a military base or even military type building or the home of one of our more unstable Citizens. If those types want to be polite they would post signs and or intercept the van before they put an AT4 round into it.

  13. Clue Phone its for you! on Vista Designed to Make Malware Easy · · Score: 1

    Okay kiddiez here is the deal with the Vista ISO what you have on the disc can be broken down into a few categories

    1 the setup program itself (and assorted deps)
    2 various documents and nifty bits
    3 THE VISTA ULTIMATE FILESYSTEM and the various offset files (this maps what you get for a given key to the rev you land up with)

    If you happen to have also gotten your hands on the Vista Final Automated Install Kit (aka the WAIK) you can loopmount the WIM file and then scan it to so see exactly what will get written to your disk. (note the Vista WAIK is hidden on a publically availible ftp site)

    if you have the tools you could if you want hack , crack quack and completely butcher the install (all the way to the point of a full insert disc and reboot the computer setup) i wouldn't be surpised if there was a way to build a dual boot system if you could find the Haque.

  15. Re:Vista is the new ME on Corporate America Not Ready For Vista · · Score: 4, Informative

    did you hapen to know that bitlocker is basically volume level DRM? so that means if any of the following happens

    1 you lose the password to the account and your "root" admin gets run over by a bus
    2 some random Zero day borks the account
    3 a DDOS on the authentication server burns your block of COA serials
    4 Microsoft just one day "decides" that your system is unauthorized (maybe you are in Their way)

    You are shall we say "traversing the proverbial polluted tributary without visible means of propulsion" or "afixed via a rotated metal rod with a spiral fin"

  16. Re:The judge should have some guts on Novell Files New Summary Judgement Motion · · Score: 1

    its actually better for the case to go at least to the point where the judge can file a Summary Judgement (case dismissed with more prejeduce than the entire membership of the KKK) since that denovo review bit will basically cancel any chance of an appeal. if the subject comes up and Kimball or Wells basically can just hand the new judge a folder and a card key (actual evidence TSCOg side and the key to the warehouse of Novell/IBM side evidence) then things become simpler.

    Some times you do a Hit quietly and sometimes you do a hit during a live CNN feed and hold a press conference afterwards.

    a cool thing about VideoLan Client (from a very long list) is that you can go directly to the setup screen (if you don't just go directly to the main movie) since it has certain code (similar to #define m(i)(x[i]^s[i+84])y)c+=y=i^i/8^i>>4^i>>12,i=i>>8^y >14,y=a^a*8^a>8^y/n."[k>>4]*2^k*257/8,s[j]=k^(k&k* 2&34)
