1. The ICE browser does not port scan anyone, it issues a request for a URL to a proxy server and returns the results to the user. There is no scanning of any kind.
The process of scanning occurs when open, publicly accessible proxies are identified by researchers in the Citizen Lab. The only ports checked are 80, 8080, and 3128, no others.
In many cases proxies are identified based on the fact that they are listed on websites that catalog lists of open, publicly accessible proxy servers. In such cases NO scanning is done.
For those of you not familiar with the TTC, it's the transit system in Toronto.
As for the station refered to in the parent, it was called Lower Bay (or Bay Lower) station, and was shutdown after 6 months of use. It's now used mainly as a film set, and for training I believe. Since little to no maintenance is performed on it, it's easy to pass it off as a New York subway station:)
THIS page is a good read about exploring the TTC tunnels (and lower bay), and THIS page gives a little bit of the history of lower bay.
I recently picked up one of these for that very purpose. It comes with a RF remote and a 2.4GHz audio/video sender/receiver. So far it's working out ok, though it still needs some tweaking to avoid interference.
Did anyone else notice this?
The site says that it does not ship with a video card, but has a pci slot, so you may use your own video card in it. Nice, but the problem is, if you look at the picture of it with the cover off (found on this page), the pci slot is on the bottom of the mb. There's no way you could get a card in there and get the cover on!:)

With all the recent articles on video game addiction, this whole concept of mixing video games and gambling sounds a little risky.
Does this not have the potential for people to spend their life savings on this game?
So now, not only can videogames kill you, they can also make you go broke.
When your widow goes to claim your life insurance, they'll find you cashed it in to buy yourself that new house in Project Entropia.

It's all Eolas' fault :)
