Seriously, you need to spend a little more quiet time with google. +firefox +popup +blocking +tutorial
It's not hard. I see nothing except for the odd tiny fraction of css crap.
Fix it yourself because - 'they' - will never hold your hand until it works just nice and peachy the way you personally want.
If a site you like has more advertising than actual content, then maybe you need to go elsewhere. The net is a pretty big place, apparantly with lots of duplication...
The CIA is an end point for multiple intelligence sources, nothing at all like ASIS.
To be more accurate, the CIA is a 'little' like the DIO (Defence Intelligence Organisation) on Russel Hill. Reports directly across the lake to parliament house about anything and everything. They can task most all other agencies to undertake work on their behalf. Australia does not have a single entity that can be directly compared to the CIA though. Not enough people, not enough money for such a beast.
Also, it's not at all like television! Tom Clancy does get it wrong more times than right! The NSA do not have agents roaming around the country with the authority to detain anyone at will, flash your NSA id card at any police officer or FBI agent and they'll laugh first, then arrest you for stupidity.
ASIS do human intelligence gathering - which more often than not involves large sums of money to corrupt foreign entities - not the James Bond lifestyle I'm afraid.
The Australian Secret Intelligence Organisation is not the National Crime Authority - which is more akin to the FBI.
ASIO do much the same work as DSD only on the 'domestic' front - they have no clue about 'modern technology' though, stupid weenies:-) That's why they borrow DSD staffers every other day...
Although it is not required for any billeted job description, many of us in front end DSD collection and survey positions DO report child porn and IP addresses (Plus lots of other data) to Australian federal police - regardless of source. Australian originator or not, child porn is not even nearly as nice as cancer. It is just fucked up sick. (No apologies for language - I see this too often, it disgusts me)
Quite a bit of this crap goes over non-public links, weakly encrypted (they likely think it's hot shit though) so not much escapes.
The feeling is nice when you get a call across stu-III or wherever, interpol, whoever, saying thankyou - 'we got the bastards'
Many factions of the UN are not considered allied in any place I've worked (government 3 letter agencies) - which did seem odd at first. (Not anymore though)
They are considered as just another valid target on the list, no matter how many acronyms they stick their fingers into. Parts of the beast are most definitely corrupt and frequently violent. Don't take my word for it though - google 'corruption within the united nations'
Their record is neither clean, or pleasent. I give it the same level of respect I have for amnesty international (None at all). Fabrication and lies.
I think you are spot on with the render farm comment! This appears to be the way of the future. String a thousand low end systems together for very little cost, achieve massive performance gains.
3D. The problem shifts toward the modelling application itself, I haven't found any that scale across multiple platforms - multiple processors yes, but not machines. Maya 6 doesn't do that, so I guess neither does anything else currently available. (I may be mistaken though, I kind of hope I am too)
If you ever need to render a movie like finding nemo, you would appreciate a system with that much ram - or rather, a thousand networked systems with that much ram. (Render Farm)
I guess that is the most well known use for so much RAM, probably also high end databases.
Or submarine navigation transmissions in the multi-mega-watts - or the billions of other television, two-way, public broadcast radio, blah blah blah......for the last hundred years.
You are bombarded with more electromagnetic radiation than you could possibly imagine, an access point or wifi card sitting right next to your head will make no difference.
Living near powerlines is known to be bad only by crackpots or idiots looking for a free ride by way of the legal system.
Everything electronic radiates, it's just a matter of how sensitive your receiver and antenna combination are.
Network leads are 'leaky' at best.
This isn't my area of expertise, though I've seen them sweeping the building often enough to get an idea of how it works. Different methods, some are active (meaning they will transmit lots of output power and look for any response in nearby electrical components, inductive or some such, get a fingerprint and compare against a database of knowns.
Others are simply passive with usually a discone antenna plugged in to a big grey box with lots of funky lights and switches. oooohhh shiny.
In Canberra (Australia) HQ is tempested, the entire building that is. Imagine flyscreen embedded in windows, walls have weird mixtures of concrete, silver stuff, steel, concrete, more silver stuff, dead alien remains, then the final outer layers of concrete. (Ok, I'm joking about that second layer of silver stuff, it's not really there)
Upstream? No, I'd say it's to appease the ego's of the little boys who think it's cool to make it difficult. Bit like the linux zealots on IRC.
Some of that warez crap is insane - they will split 10 meg files up into 30 small chunks.
All conveniently placed in a 'zip' file, with content also split and zipped, then RAR'ed. To me it seems quite immature.
Warez is not illegal where I am at, nor is rampant piracy, partly because local law requires the copyright holder to file complaint in this country first - against specific offenders.
All the piracy I see in Asia is done using the same hardware that BMG, SONY, (INSERT ANY RECORD LABEL HERE) use. It might be illegal, but it is also damn well professional!
I'm in the Philippines just now, I have a T1 connection (Both up and down stream) via one of the local cable tv companies, I've 'never' seen it slow down at all. Only time it didn't work was on the day of installation, after tweaking an amp somewhere it has worked fine ever since.
Php1688.00 per month, that's about $25 US. Comparing that with Australian prices, I'm glad I don't have to live there right now - crappy speeds, upstream restrictions, no servers.... More expensive for a lot less service.
I kind of live in Asia full time lately, one thing I have noticed is that while blank paper is fairly cheap, it is not a high priority item for most people - even the ones that are wealthy enough to own printers.
People tend to buy exactly the amount they need, and not a single sheet more. The average person here will expend much more effort in planning the printout so they don't screw up, as an Australian, I would print, then think 'oh shit' - though my attitude to waste has changed massively in the last couple of years.
I can't imagine China would over any short period of years change their veracity for paper. The society appears to value everything that is called a 'possession' - no matter how junk looking it appears to a foreigner.
Reminds me of those bastards that stand at the top of escelators and hand out their trash - mostly these days I grab it from their hands and immediately throw it on the floor, in full view.
Legally (in the country I live) they are not allowed to do this, yet somehow nobody cares enough to complain - and if you do throw their trash on the ground, everyone seems to think your the one with the problem, not the guy or girl handing out the credit card scams.
I'm thinking you have not come across 'iframes' and their evil use. They look just like pop-up windows too.
How do you selectively disable 'tables' from a given domain - now that would be cool!:-) I'm not sure if it's the 'iframe' bit, but tables based adverts seem to be the new 'old' direction.
Can be used in situations such as correcting dented leading wing edges on fighter jets, and damaged theodolites, just to name a couple of the less important uses.:-)
Internally if you are cleared to see a certain group of things, the security is not so complex.
If you need access to VRK/TK type stuff, you get anal probing prior to accessing the restricted area - airgap with a big chunk of concrete thrown in the mix.
Why have 'huge' internal security when 'the man' already spends six months getting chatty with your friends, teachers, family, relatives, long lost loves from childhood, just to see if you can really be trusted with a clearance?
A TS clearance basically means you are 'trustworthy' - or you go to jail. Security vetting gets repeated every couple of years - sucks when you're in the Military and they want to know who your bestest work friends are that you've known for at least ten years.
Oh, I am stupid. Not the normal stupid as in idiot - but pathetically stupid - as in dumbarse.
I'm slinking away for a few minutes, vowing never to post to slashdot again, just until a few others post something equally misrepresentative of the original comment and 'they' forget about me:-)
That doesn't help if you want to send email to AOL and your PTR is non-existant. (Yup, called the owner, their response - Reverse DNS, never heard of it)
Australian regulation forbids copying a CD for personal use. That means ripping a purchased CD for any purpose at all. (Google dredges this paragraph up more often than any other across the spectrum)
After searching for quite some time, it does appear as though it really is illegal. I'm not into law, so I can't confirm this as fact, but either way, it's not very enforceable.
Perhaps the easiest way to access the cellular network is via the microwave link they normally have on each cell site. The transmission from there is typically just a standard T1, 24 channels, few bits of overhead - a couple of channels handle the SS7, the rest are devoted to the (unencrypted) vocoders from each active mobile telephone.
You can learn a lot just from the SS7 packet stream - including text messages and phone numbers, imsi's and other data (SS7 can get pretty complicated, it has a standard, but phone companies usually twist it a little for their own usage)
There are codecs available online for most transmissions - GSM is usually a 16kbps signal, bust it out and it rasters at around 180 bits wide (from memory) - hook on to the sinc and feed it in to your demux real time - There are probably off the shelf scanners that do all of this these days.
Those small microwave dishes are either pointed at an exchange, or another cell site - find one going to an exchange and you'll get more data to sift through. They transmit at around about 2GHz so you'll need a receiver, downconverter, modem, and some type of capture card for your trusty little portable Pee Cee.
Not cheap, but not impossible. (Make sure to buy two of each or you'll be marked as a 'spy' or terrorist straight off the bat) All of this stuff can fit in to one of those silver metal camera cases.
A great deal of inter-organisation banter is considered 'unclassified' so it makes sense to use public systems that are already in place - saves money all round. Also workers will send personal stuff like banking and email to friends and family, it's got to leave the 'secret service' building somewhere.
I seriously doubt he got anything hard core. Air Gap - (and no, I did not say WiFi gap)

So why not make it commercial and charge 1 cent for 1 year. If the law sucks, flex it.

I think the choice between 'free with adverts' or 'free as in beer from vastly more unsecured access points' is fairly clear.
It will not work.

I used to do this exact same thing (but after having the house broken into once first)
I think it was around 1998 when I first started using motion, still do. Have set it up in a few office spaces for non-profits.
