they are. I know him from way back on EFNet. I'm pretty sure he and his family is utterly loaded. I haven't talked to him in a few years; he was only sporting multiple BMWs back then, but yeah. I think his aunt and some of the rest of his family are big into law--he's from New Jersey (well, by way of Portugal), for crying out loud. but that guy used to ask me to help him "hack" things so much back then; we used to do some nefarious things on the intertubes.. this is totally what he likes to do. I doubt he's really into harming anyone, and I don't think he cares about the money. sometimes it's just fun.
it is a pretty stupid system, but it's been done many times before. if you don't lock your domain and someone initiates a transfer request, you have to respond within a set perid or the domain defaults to them, or at least that's how it used to be. I actually know this guy (online) and we go back a long way; this is totally his M.O., and he would know this trick. don't ask me why it's set up that way, but it is.
I recall this being used once by some other folks I know from around the same period ("shield" and the guys from some shell provider whose name I can't remember, which was basically part of the notorious FooNET or Creative Internet Techniques or whatever it was called--in the news here on Slashdot multiple times in the past) to "steal" the domain name Exodus.net, and after which they redirected the irc.exodus.net EFNet server to DALnet as some kind of humorous prank.
the broadcast address is the number where all bits of the host segment are one. a subnet isn't necessarily an "octet," especially in classless systems. 0/0 is interpreted by many network stacks in the same way as localhost, but it's the network or "network discovery" address for the internet IPv4 space.
yeah, he's kidding, or he's incredibly retarded. slashdot does check for open proxies, but they use norma DNSBLs like every other sane human being would.
this is assuming the distribution of access points ("routers") is a constant. it's also assuming an ideal isotropic source with some particular beam width and corresponding geography (as mentioned).
that's cute. I get 3MB/s easily over generic 802.11g hardware, and that's not only "real-world," but it's post overhead. 802.11g doesn't "peak around" anything necesarily. you can get around 30Mbps with some devices, and once you take into account the quoted 54Mbps is about "wire" speed (well, for lack of better term), this makes pretty clear sense. but I think this is what the guy meant--he doesn't get 54Mbps. I doubt he meant at all to say he can't saturate it. I can saturate 1MB/s with my 486DX2 over ISA 10Base5.. or, well, almost.
well, your troll/stupidity is obvious, but no, it doesn't suggest anything. it doesn't matter what the odds are for anything. the moon IS tidally locked to the Earth. and, as someone else said, it wasn't formed that way.
it's very trivial to crack windows hashes or change the password on any operating system if you have physical access, but the first contingent case I thought of was an encrypted filesystem. I initially assumed that any encryption would be separate from login credentials, and most users would probably remember their passphrase or have a USB key for decryption or whatever, but I wasn't aware of the NTFS offering which, according to you, ties login credentials to the encryption key. that sounds like a really inteesting system.
I think a better response to his first problem is that it's completely unrelated to censorship. as for his second, he has a fair point. I don't see that anything's wrong with "white pride," for what it's worth, but I understand your argument to be something along the lines of 'it doesn't make sense to be proud of something that you had no hand in being responsible for'? i.e. nationality is not something that is earned and blind patriotism doesn't make sense. fair enough, but, as he said, that isn't the same thing as patriotism. that's nationalism.
it is possible to be proud of things that have been done, even irrespective of your involvement, whether or not you happen to be related to those things by sheer chance or anything else, including being proud at where you live, and not necessarily without scrutiny and reservation, and not necessarily just because you are there.
humanity may be insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe, but we can be proud of our achievements; as Sagan would say, we show great promise. on the topic of patriotism, I really love Penn Jillette's thoughts, as exemplified here. it's a lovely illustration of the point.
if you can find this, by whatever means most convenient to you (and assuming you haven't already seen it--if you have, see it again), it's an even better illustration and what I'd intended on linking. that show and the episode in particular are really moving.
not really; depending on your area it seems to get up to close to -4.0 magnitude. I read the article about the new solar array that was supposed to make it as bright or brighter than Venus, but it's incredibly variable and usually is closer to 0 or -1 magnitude. it is still quite brilliant at times, but Venus gets up to near -5.
according to some random blog post I just found, the ISS has or had a maximum apparent magnitude of -3.3 and an average of 1.5. this may be different since the addition of the solar array, considering that heavens above has shown multiple -3.5 passes for my area, and, if I recall correctly, a few that were closer to -3.7 or -3.8.
thanks for your reply as well; it was informative and helpful. my first experience with any sort of recreational drug began only two years ago, so I'm much more of a novice than you, at least in terms of quantity of exposure. I may be CYP2D6 deficient myself. I am not sure. The first two times I took dxm in the forms of 6oz Vicks Formula 44, containing dxm HBr as the only active ingredient. this trip was pretty intense, I thought, but it was manageable, and it lasted maybe 8 hours, with only a lingering afterglow which persisted for perhaps the next day. The second time I tried it, I used the exact same product and dosage (although I eyeballed it since the store only had 4oz bottles of Vicks), but the trip kept getting more and more intensive even 7 hours in. This time I had rather unwisely eaten not long before dosing, so I figured that to be the culprit, particularly when I felt almost immediately better after a violent bout of vomiting during the trip. That was not fun.
My third trip was on 420mg from Delsym (eyeballed to slightly less than full in 70mL measuring cup). I mixed 100mg diphenhydramine close to or after reaching the second plateau, about an hour and a half to two hours in. This was a very pleasant experience and did not seem to last particularly long. I don't recall exactly how long it was, but it was perhaps around 6 hours, and there was really no unpleasant hangover to note.
The fourth trip, just 5 days exactly (within 20 minutes) from me typing this, I took roughly 600mg, eyeballing the 70mL measuring cup plus half again. This was also a very pleasant experience. I stopped tripping, amazingly, at around the 4 hour mark. But there was an afterglow that persisted the full 24 hours before I decided to dose again. This is when I had the experience I detailed in my last post. I may not have actually reached plateau sigma, since Wikipedia and the DXM FAQ claim that it's achieved by dosing every 3 hours or so at 2.5-7.5mg/kg. If I were enzyme deficient, though, and seeing that the dxm was time release, the necessary procedure may be entirely less involving for me. As I was still feeling the dxm 24 hours later, there must've been a substantial amount being released into my system, and to mix that with another 300mg-400mg, also time release, produced a pretty profound effect, particularly for my body weight of a little under 150lb or almost 70kg. This amounts to up to a gram in my system at one point, or nearly 15mg/kg, which ought to be sufficient for reaching 4th plateau, or at least very high 3rd plateau.
Since that experience, I've had some problems. I may have had serotonin syndrome. I don't know. I got similar problems as I did with my second trip on dxm HBr, having really bad gas, although I was never nauseous and did not throw up. But immediately after coming up, I felt very agitated and anxious, my heart rate was high, my chest was constricted (presumably from gas, but I don't know), and my extremities went cold/numb. My blood pressure, recorded the next morning, still high, was 154/110. It is normally around 110/60, I think, or it used to be. I since measured it coming down at 128/86. It has, as I mentioned, been 4 days almost exactly since the writing of this post, and I'm still not 100%. At the 3 day mark, I was still considerably agitated. So perhaps I also am deficient. Needless to say, though, it was unwise to take so much time release dxm within a one week period.
I also enjoy jogging, though I'm pretty horrible at it. I've tried on diphenhydramine, which seems to make it enjoyably and fairly more effortless than usual, which is kind of counterintuitive being that diphenhydramine makes me really lazy, but that's what happens. I have thought about doing it on dxm. The night I took 420mg, I tried, but I started a little early, because I had barely reached the first plateau. My motor coordination at that point was pretty absurdly bad, and I was also paranoid of my surroundings, because it was abot 10PM (or 22 if you prefer) at night. Some dude came up behind me on a bicyc
two things I should add: the site I mentioned is bouncing bear botanicals. and the reason I recommend against using Delsym for the novice dxm user is because the time release can make things last a really long time, with a potentially unpleasant afterglow. apart from that, Delsym has been great for me. use with caution.
I've tried Amanita muscaria and absolutely nothing happened. A friend I talk to online has done the same; we both bought them from web suppliers, so it could be that these sites were scams, or, as I suspect, the psychoactive material in the mushrooms had long precipitated out of the mushrooms--in other words, it may be that they need to be picked fresh for maximum effectiveness. The seller I bought them from happens to be fairly reputable. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to post their name or not; I suppose I don't see why not, apart from the fact that wider recognition may spoil it for us all. Note: I'm not trying to slander or libel anyone.. I'm an actual customer, and it may be entirely my error that the Amanita experience failed.
Salvia is now illegal in my state, and it is illegal in several other states as well, so that's something to watch out for. You can check if it's legal in your state here (or browse around Erowid for your country's laws in case you're not a US citizen): http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/salvia_law.shtml#state If it weren't for that, I'd love to try it.
Nitrous is something that I've been interested in and I think I will try soon. I'm a little unclear about how to consume it effectively and healthily, though. I'm goin to have to read up on that.
Dextromethorphan, ah. Our love is bittersweet. I have used this substance on five different occasions. As it happens, three of those were within the last week, and I reached the fourth plateau and possibly plateau sigma. The experience was a very frightening one, but I managed to handle it quite calmly and take it in stride. It's a learning experience, and I don't regard any of my trips as overly negative, though they can be very hard to endure. I'm still hungover four days later from my experience, but I'm slowly improving. I would recommend that anyone consuming this substance be sure that they are doing so in such a way as to ingest only the active ingredient dextromehorphan hydrobromide, and I would recommend against using the "time release" formula dextromethorphan polistirex, as found in the over-the-counter cough formula Delsym (which is what my recent experience was with; prior experience was with dxm HBr). and I would recommend a starting dose of perhaps only 100-200mg, in case the hypothetical user has a sensitivity, which some do (supposedly a deficiency of the enzyme CYP2D6, which dxm and other drugs act on). a good starting dose, once you're sure that your tolerance is normal, is 354mg, which is what you'll find in most over-the-counter 4oz bottles of cough syrup, though in the case of Vicks 44 you'll need 6z for the same amount of active ingredient (177mL at 2mg/mL, whereas Robitussin and most others are 3mg/mL; Delsym is 6mg/mL and actually the liquid is clear and quite tasty. I also have yet to become nauseous with Delsym, whereas, unfortunately, I haven't been able to avoid vomiting with other syrups). It is also possible to take dxm in the form of pure powder which can be bought online, Sucrets cough gels (hard to find), or Zicam Cough Max, which are taken sublingually--rumored to be one of the better methods of ingesting dxm. I would add that this is a drug to be respected very, very heavily, and do not think that just because it's over the counter and something 13 year olds use to "get high"* that it is not intense. It can be very, very, very intense, even in small doses.
With all that out of the way, it seems that you have a problem with deliriants. I would be interested to know if that is out of personal experience. For me, nutmeg has provided positive results overall, being very much like a marijuana high, with only really minor negatives, the biggest one being its really long onset. It's also possible that a nutmeg high can last a day or longer, which is unpleasant for some. And the drymouth can be very severe. But for me, this would almost be my drug of choice, except for one small caveat: I seem to have a very high tolera
No. How does "He's probably mad, a little progress since then" make any sense? Perhaps something like "He's probably mad--a little progress since then [when?]" would work better, but it's still missing something.
that video was hilarious as fuck. holy shit, those people are retarded, laypeople or not. dozens? that looks like a few hundred to me. run, run! it's an airplane!!!!!
Sounds like someone doesn't know what molestation is.
I thought you said you didn't live in the US. your use of the word "mum," for instance, would indicate otherwise. molestation is completely relative, as most other abstract concepts we give the title "word" are. whether or not the legal definition actually is different in my country than in [presumably] the UK, I don't know. I would submit, however, that the legal basis of the issue is less important than the ethical one.
This drawn out 6-year case is costing your tax dollars, which would otherwise be spent on schools.
is it costing tax dollars? those taxes would be better spent on private education, which may have solved this problem altogether.
My point was that the teachers are the guardians of the children while they're in school, and when it's known that a group of 13 year old friends have enough drugs to kill themselves most parents
the teachers are the guardians of the children while they're in school, unfortunately. I'm not a proponent of that system; one reason that is schooling is compulsory and there is little in the way of options for good private schools or homeschooling. in this case, it wasn't known that anyone had anything, let alone "enough drugs to kill themselves." but, even if they did, they should first ASK the child if this was the case. then they should contact the parents and police. school administrations or whatever are neither in a position to judge what exactly a kid should or shouldn't have, what exactly is or isn't a harmful "drug," and particularly not whether to strip someone naked against their will.
If it's serious and no-one is turning up the drugs better to play it safe than deal with a suicide
on what basis, other than an emotional appeal, do you make this claim?
most parents (that aren't looking for some quick cash from the public schools) would want the drugs to be found asap
maybe. but no one asked the parents, did they? and even so, I'm not sure a child's REAL guardians (their parents) would be legally able to have their child consent to something like this; I would almost hope not, in fact. unfortunately, what's "legal" and what's allowed are two different things entirely.

I'm not a proponent of that system; one reason that is schooling is compulsory and there is little in the way of options for good private schools or homeschooling. in this case, it wasn't known that anyone had anything, let alone "enough drugs to kill themselves." but, even if they did, they should first ASK the child if this was the case. then they should contact the parents and police. school administrations or whatever are neither in a position to judge what exactly a kid should or shouldn't have, what exactly is or isn't a harmful "drug," and particularly not whether to strip someone naked against their will.
on what basis, other than an emotional appeal, do you make this claim?
maybe. but no one asked the parents, did they? and even so, I'm not sure a child's REAL guardians (their parents) would be legally able to have their child consent to something like this; I would almost hope not, in fact. unfortunately, what's "legal" and what's allowed are two different things entirely.
glad you're not an american, you piece of shit.
no.
yes.
yes.
hope that helps.
