    Well, nice idea.... Guess it's time to edit the Subculture page... Except in Nebraska

    if you are a true diehard fan of Phrack you already have all the issues mirrored locally because you've studied them thoroughly.

    No, Seriously,if you never read it, do it! Even for just 'that' article on Smashing the stack...
    It's far more meaningful than some 'security' course I had in college...

    magnificent Aurora australiensis, even if it is horribly misnamed.

    I hate to be a Grammar Nazis (Hell i'm not even a native english speaker) but shouldn't that be aurora australis ?

    And if you don't like the name just say it's a Polar Aurora

  5. Re:Liars on Mathematics of the Social Security "Crisis" · · Score: 1

    you could try the BBC.

    The BBC is great! I even tend to watch BBCWorld on satelitte TV instead of the usual US Channels.

  7. Re:Solutions replaced products long ago on Scalable Enterprise Buzzword Solutions · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No matter which way you look at it, this thing called Our Solution constantly has to be subtracted from something to generate Profit.

    Not quite. If we can convince your CEO that you have a problem, when you actually have none, then:

    Our Solution = Profit

    And THAT is 50% of why Buzzwords exists...

  8. Re:Oops... on Bizarre Deep Sea Fish Dredged Up By Tsunami · · Score: 2

    The ironic thing in all this (with SuperSize Me and Micheal Moore's Movies) is that poeple usually blame the sensationalism that hide a part of the facts.

    Yet if it was not for that sensationalism, those 'documentaries' would get little or not attention. It seems somewhere that people prefer illusion and ignorance than the truth.A thorough documentary explaining both sides to the story would probably be too borring for it to gain popularity...

    How often do your friends and relatives come to you for help with that stuff?

    How True, How true!

    Just last week, I spent time clearing a computer infected with (I kid you not) around 700 Spywares and 125 virus (and /or worms)...

    The poor user didn't have a single clue how to maintaint a computer. She use it witout any Anti-virus, firewall, or even installing any updates. She called me when the dman thing stoped working. I can't blame her:

    -"It worked yesterday... What did I do wrong?"
    -"Nothing much... But if this was a house it would mean you left every door and windows open and you didn't clean it for months"

    it costs time and money... The two most precious things in America... ;)

    Not seriously, If I was living there, I would take this occassion to make sure there was legislation forcing a recount AND a Re-vote if the difference was less then 0.1% (or a 3 sigma limit or whatever)

  14. Re:Use SMART? on SATA RAID Enclosure w/ Temperature Monitoring? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I second that. You can have Smart Run a script when things fails, like Mailing the details of the failiure and then turning off the computer.

    For other computer parts lsensor might do the trick.
    For exemple: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Monitor_your_hard_dis k(s)_with_smartmontools

    if it's an external device, the best thing would be to get a controlable UPS And turn off (again with a small script)

    Just think RAID, UPS, smart monitors and deamons and with a bit of imagination, you can come up with a soultion.

  15. Re:Write to NTFS volumes? on Seek And Destroy Malware With An Antiviral Live CD · · Score: 1

    I looked in the forums, and they say they use a Non-GPL driver for NTFS... I don't know which one they are talking about, but that's the reason why the GPL edition of the LiveCD won't write (read?) NTFS.

  16. Re:Write to NTFS volumes? on Seek And Destroy Malware With An Antiviral Live CD · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yes it can.

    But there seems to be 3 version of the ISO... (6 if you count the fact that each come in En and Fr)

    As far as I can tell, these are the edition (I can read french but the info is a bit spread across the site):

    GPL Edition (Which uses ClamAV)
    Fr: ftp://telechargement.antesis.org/download/CHRONOMI UM-0.9.0-GPL-fr.iso
    En: ftp://telechargement.antesis.org/download/CHRONOMI UM-0.9.0-GPL-en.iso

    En: ftp://telechargement.antesis.org/download/CHRONOMI UM-0.9.0-COMMUNITY-en.iso

    Community Edition With NTFS drivers (using F-prot)

    En: ftp://telechargement.antesis.org/download/CHRONOMI UM-0.9.0-COMMUNITY_FULL-en.iso

    The lastest defintions for F-Prot have to be downloaded from: http://www.f-prot.com/download/

    Voilà!
    Hope it clarify things a bit...

  18. Re:Consider It Carefully on LAN Party at a High School? · · Score: 1

    I'll have to agree with the parent post. You can't make a lot of money with LAN party, except if you use this as front to get people to donate money.

    But if you are just looking for a reason to trow a Lan Party, you better PLAN that Lan Party. If you fail to Plan, you Plan to fail.. This might help:

  22. Re:Why do musicians go for recording contracts? on Musicians on Internet & Filesharing · · Score: 1

    Sure it's possible to live without the Record Industry, but it's praticly impossible to make it big:

    -You don't have the social network and/or money to push your songs on the air
    -You don't have a vast distribution network to make sure CD get sold almost everywhere.
    -You don't have the credibility to rent a large studio and/or organise a concert.

    That doesn't mean you can't succeed. Just that's you'll struggle more to acheive the same goal, then if you sell out...

    Yet, I wish groups like http://www.vanderpark.com/ and http://www.beatallica.com/ got more publicity
