this could potentialy be used to fleace/shut down all P2P networks, and what about open source ones (emule and mldonkey?)
for those of you who don't understand file hashing, its the generating of a unique number for a file that is non-forgable, so you are sure your getting what your are sure your downloading....
websites like sharereactor.com and fasttrackmovies.com post "file hashes" of confirmed good files, so you can be sure your not getting a fake on a P2P network, emule, and edonkey, and overnet use the sharereactor system, and fast track movies is used with a program called sig2dat for kazza, also sharezza is capable of useing em all (plus another one called wich name excapes me, some karma whore please post a reply)
Guys just get a Archos Jukebox Multimedia (20 gig USB2 divx player with expansion and mp3 playback) http://www.archos.com
the new digital recorder plugin means you can make your own tv rips (other plugins like the memory card reader so you can have unlimited storage for those digital pics when on vacation, or the camera modulal)
a copy of emule (http://www.emule-project.com) and grab some TV eposodes from http://www.sharereactor.com
or even get em off of bitorrent (someone reply with links there)
and you have all the TV on the Go you could want (includeing those old family guy eposodes thare are off the air/ were banned)
Seriously guys, on a 1 inch screen TV would suck, heck i saw a TV adaptor for the sega game gear that looked like a better idea than this.....
I am a xbox hacker and would like to say that the xbox is amazeing, for $200 i can
1. play divx movies on my TV
2. play/sort my ogg/mp3 collection
3. emulate mame/snes/nes and play my huge rom collections
4. rent/copy/warez monger all the games i can (got 5 on hard drive right now)
5. make backup copies of games so if they got damaged/lost i'm not SOL
6. have yet another FTP server on my home network for exchange of files between outdated OS's (only 1 is windows)
7.play DVD's without paying the 30$ mpaa tax
and the list goes on.....
i might consider running mandrake or debian (only 2 flavors i know that are compiled for xbox yet) but will probebly put a 80 gig drive in it first..
my advice is buy a refurbished one and pray that you get a good philips/samsung drive that will play CD-r's
(the thomsons suck, and will only play dvd-r,cd-rw-s)
and above all the satisfaction that i'm screwing M$!
I recently installed a xecutioner lite mod chip in my xbox (1mb rom), and have found tons of awsome uses for it
for $200 i can buy a set top box divx player (kiss technologies), or i could buy a $50 or less modchip and a 150 refurbished xbox (EB)
First, it makes for a great NES/snes/mame gameing machine, despite the D-pad being a little crappy
second Xbox-media player can play
XVID/WMP files/OGG/DIVX/mp3/jpg's/bmp's
you can sort your music into playlist/folders with alblum art for the icons even, you can have slideshows with background music
unfortunetly your going to have to find it allready compiled illigaly under microsofts compiler
XDK (look of efnet, xbox channels for it)
third, you can backup games to the hardrive, so if you scratch/loose games a lot, you don't have to worry about where they are or what you did to them
you can backup your games, and then use burned copies while your legit copies sit in a safe somewere, you can backup your saves, and trade em with friends (all done thru FTP)
Heck, for those of you too lazy to set the clock, will find there is an app that does it automaticaly online for you
if you also boot with linux you can have a webtv like thing, and spending 7$ for a controler extender, and soddering/electrical tapeing it together with a spare usb header i have, yeilds a usb converted (and you can atually mount those things into the controller as they do have a hub)
throw in some cathode lights, and a cooler fan, and you have a party in a box
Hey, man, i tried to mod it too, when it was still at 0, and by the time i hit moderate it was at -2 and it retured a "post allready at threshold", there are just that many active mods today, and if you really have to hide behind the anon cowward so be it
yah, but "emergency" people can still track it silly (it says so when you click on the "info") so that means the signal still goes up (although our phones arn't GPS, they are digital triangulation or something)
I live in Texas, (we don't have school shootings, too many teachers would return fire) but school administrator knows that i carry 3 knifes of varying size on me at all times, and knows that if something gets violent it will be students like me, not the cops that will be the first to put it down. everyone who carries a gun/knife isn't a nut, just someone prepared to take down the nuts:P
something like "a special method of causeing physical arousal by looking at special pixle paterns" (even market it as yet another viagra alterntive) image the total costs for every porn site would have to pay.....
maybe we could sue those porn link spamers, for "a adversitsing method of the above, heck why not just patent spam
"sending unsolicited mass marketing for much proffit by exploiting buffer overflows to hide headers..."
heck how many overworked non-techies would recognize what these things are
Second, companies that produce blocking software have little incentive to tailor their products narrowly. To the contrary, because underblocking, not overblocking, generates complaints, these companies have strong economic incentives to design their software to block in an overbroad fashion.
I have seen this first hand at my own school (small private school) and at the local public schools.
Filters can block a.GOV site about a senete race on minute, and not block a story on wired.com about a kiddie-porn bust.
Heck even part of my school's website is blocked due to the the term "childrent in bondange to sin" in a essay by the administrator on why christian education is important. (we use We-blocker, not because it works but because its free, and my teacher thinks that the law applys to us also)
for those of you who don't know how to kill its prosess, just use mozilla, most local blockers don't know how to deal with it.
As for the local school districts filtering (BESS) they use a proxie based system that can only be by-passed by useing little known proxie tunnels on allowed ports. I don't object to filtering, i object to teachers and IT people that try to ban you from useing the computers when the filter goes off to much on your shared computer, or xupiter (Damn spyware) keeps redirecting your computer to a porn site (and they think adaware, that i installed was the cause)
The only comercial filtering that has given me no greif is hedgebuilders (use it at church) and i think its just designed to prevent the acidental brouwser highjack, not a determined JR. high geek (sorry IT teachers, nothing will stop them)
A bunch of schools run a internet2, system with a dedicated bandwidth allotment to ipv6, they use this for shareing of resoureses, testing out some cool streaming vid tech, and other stuff that needs dedicated bandwith that all the warez l33chers would shut down if they were allowed on that pipe.
yah, yah i admit i was karma whoreing, but if you noticed the first 4 words of my post, i DID mention the source (sheesh, first is was not read teh story's now people don't even read the posts) and the last 1/3 of it was origional (or from my memory of other posts on the slammer worm.
most people don't have a clue what IPv6 is for, or why we need it, so before all the stupid jokes came out i figured i'd try to get a early karma whore out, on why it rulz
from ipv6.org
IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6". IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the IETF to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 ("IPv4").
Most of today's internet uses IPv4, which is now nearly twenty years old. IPv4 has been remarkably resilient in spite of its age, but it is beginning to have problems. Most importantly, there is a growing shortage of IPv4 addresses, which are needed by all new machines added to the Internet.
IPv6 fixes a number of problems in IPv4, such as the limited number of available IPv4 addresses. It also adds many improvements to IPv4 in areas such as routing and network autoconfiguration. IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the two coexisting for a number of years during a transition period.
It prevents spoofed UDP backets (no more easy, D.O.S attacks, and spoofted packets)
It makes the amount of posible adresses so large that worms that use simple seek algotrithems (such as slammer) would take like 20 years to infect enough systems to do any damage
and would allow for all the future embedded apps, to get their own ip's.
this site has been up for several years, back when the pringles can first came out, sheesh, get some new contenct (like those cool dlink repeaters for 802.11b)
I can't say in my 15 years of studying scripture that i've ever seen any proof that Jesus was suposed to come back durring the disciples lifetime. While there are hints as to when it will happen (revelations) and that Isreal would again be a nation and the Temple would be rebuilt (they have all the prerequisets of bizare animals, snails and other stuff now to rebuild it), then he is suposed to return.
Sheesh, i overclocked my 1.8 p4 to that without watercooling even. antek server case, and thermaltake dragon cpu fan. While I understand the built in tempreture sensors in a P4 chip that prevent overheating, what is there to stop you from frying your nice radeon 9700 and haveing a first class door stop?
correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the latest ddr fastaer anyways? throw in the fact that this thing is useing a PCI card for a raid controller (i don't care if the motherboard has gigabit, get one with a raid controller, like the nice ABIT)
the only articles i'd want to see would either be on what the heck these "duel bios" motherboard are all about, and why the heck hasn't their been more fanfair over abits "legacy free" motherboards (screw ps2 and serial and the endless irq conflicts)
Forgive my ignorence but couldn't they hide it very well or mask which libraries they had stolen?
After all Micro$oft has hidden enough stuff in their programs before (office98 document tags with your registation info anyone?) whats to make them hide something more insidious; stolen code?
A world withought hackers, were the only people who can allow software to be installed on your computer is the nice folks at Microsoft and intel, wait did i forget myself in that list?
this is a joke all it will be is
Microsoft schemeing to prevent "fair use", open source, and easy government computer spying and restrictions is all that palidinium will be used for. Sounds like the future of the wounderfull digital restrction management is comeing.
