Actually I prefer Tokelau for my free/cheap domain addresses from a small island nation, mostly because.tk is close enough like "tech" to get a geek like me smiling. However it figures that/. is being used by some idiot who links to a non-existant page, shows off a nice custom 404 on the hosting site tho. Actually I wonder if Tokelau got hit by that hurricane too, nothing on their site about it (yet).
Actually I think that a new era of small time vendors is just getting started, only we're not building Beige Boxes, we're building Glowing Boxes using cheap aluminum pre-customized cases along with nForce motherboards whose built in video cards (with 4X/8X AGP slot too) blow away anything I've seen built into most of the Beige Box vendors machines for a very affordable price. The only problem is customer financing. Most people can afford to go down to their local Best Buy and put $500 to $1500 financed on a computer, however have a hard time doing $500 to $1000 one time cash/check/MO to a small time operator who can't afford to deal with credit and creditors.
From the article:
So, why the rant and rave? Why don't I get notes from people saying:
Hey, bastard, I've set up my own company, and I am going to be build and sell the best PCs that money can buy. People are going to be buy from me because, I'll know more about one add-in card in my system than the whole of Dell's offshore technical support team will know about a 90 day warranty.
The little guy that can, the guy who can go on to build PCs for resale, is called a White Box vendor.
Actually I prefer Glowing Box vendor, but what the hell. With WindowsXP and a bunch of free and open source programs (Fire/Thunderbird, etc) a small time vendor can do alot more than any time in the past ten years to provide a safe and good user experience to the massses. And I'm too busy trying to be a small time vendor working from home while my wife works outside the home, keep the two tech savvy friends who work as my full time road techs working (and one more part-timer/trainee), and get my new 2004 website online to actually sit down and write something about it.;)
That's so nice I mirrored it! But 800+Megs seems a bit much for a PVR system. In case you can't see the pic, it's a shot of the install screen with a pic of Dina Tersago, listed as the source of inspiration and a Miss Belgium.
Because Valence claims to offer a safer alternative, I also spoke with Atakan Ozbek, director of energy research at Allied Business Intelligence, an independent technology research think tank, and to Sandrine Colson-Inam, general manager at Cell Expert North America, another independent technology research company. Ozbek and Colson-Inam confirmed what Lamoreux told me. Both also agree that Valence's phosphate technology, registered as Saphion Technology, is definitely safer.
Seems like he went out and confirmed with some independents that there actually is a problem, and that Valence offers a real solution. While I agree the article is a bit short and does come off as an ad in a way, it seems like the true tone of the article is one of an overview of the various techs available or upcoming.
Sick of seeing the same old ads on TV? Seems like every hockey game I see involves 5 minutes of ads, 3 minutes of which are repeats! Well I've got the solution!
All advertising must be done live. No pre-taped commercials, ever. Even if it's the same script read by the same person there will be some difference. Now if a company spends a mil or two on a commercial it'll really mean something.
Of course it'll never happen, but if it did I'd be alot happier with advertising.
He had no idea the dead-executive story had been around for 20 years. He didn't know that the scammers routinely exploit a victim's faith in God. And he never noticed the "government documents" looked more like certificates a first-grade teacher might hand out.
Instead, he blamed -- and still blames -- corrupt government officials. If only they paid off the right people, he thought, the money would be released.
"With every move, the government comes up with another ridiculous fee," he said. "It's incredible."
This guy is amazingly stupid, I'm suprised that he's still alive and not rotting in the african wilderness by now.
Why not go with a slipstreamed copy of WinXP that includes SP1a and RU1? Hell you can even make it install all of your apps and drivers automatically, or even tweak the hell out of it! Now from the initial install you've got a protected system, plus if your relatives system gets too screwed up they can pop in their cd and reinstall XP and all their default apps without being tech savvy!
"Personally, I'm looking forward to the show, as long as they stay away from monkeys in robot-dog suits!"
What was wrong with the daggit? Was this an attempt at humor, or did people genuinely hate that machine?
I was 7 when BSG first came out, definately one of the viewers targeted by Boxey and the "stupid daggit". It definately was one of my least favorite things about the shows, hell I knew real dogs were faster, more agile, and in thier own way smarter than the robot dog. So whenever it got any screen time I'd get annoyed, and when he played a major part in any plot (the Lassie schtich) I'd get pissed; and I pretty much still feel that way.
I will say that the new Boxey seems like a decent enough choice, and I liked his performance in the mini, however I may change my mind once the series gets going and he inevitably gets a new robot dog.

...until some fan takes the 10 seconds shown in the Mirror and stretches it out into a 40 minute cut scene bonanza; featuring every scene from all three movies containing either the Shire, a Hobbit, an Orc, Saruman, Grimma or any combo thereof. One can only hope a purist does it as opposed to someone who willy-nilly adds scenes of Treants attacking the Orthanc for the "awe factor". Note: any misspellings or mistakes are purely due to me being too lazy to get off the couch and walk 5 feet to the bookcase and dealing with the still-stiff boxed set.
Moving away from the funny sl/rant, thanks for the info on the Scouring not being in the ExtEd, I was wondering if the vision in the mirror was footage shot for a full chapter. While there are many nods to sections left out, such as the Mirror showing the scouring and the use of several chapter names as spoken lines in the films; I feel it makes some of the omissions more glaring by comparison. As a book to movie conversion, I'm around 90% satisfied with the theatre versions of the first two, and 99% satisfied with the extended editions of them. I can only dream and pray that the Amber series by Zelazny ends up as good.
I was lazy and used Outlook Express for email, plus an old Hotmail account hanging around. After working with Firebird betas for awhile I gave Thunderbird a try and have used it ever since, even tapping into my Hotmail with the free and excellent Hotmail Popper. Unfortunately only for Windows, but still and excellent companion to Thunderbird. (Also works with any POP email client) And thankfully once Hotpop downloads the msgs the TBird spam filter goes into effect.
It really makes me sick watching some of the older shows in re-runs due to the re-editting in order to squeeze in more commercials. Twilight Zone and Warner Bros cartoons come immediately to mind. And forget trying to watch movies on ad-supported stations, damn "Compressed for Time" and "Editted for Content" can bite me.
Here's one that I've found particularly relevant since the politicians and others in the post 9/11 age turn patriotism into a grab for more power and control.
"Why of course the people don't want war... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."
-- Hermann Goering, Nazi leader, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II
IMHO, the informed opinion is that a terrorist attack on the continental US was inevitable, so the government should have had pretty much everything in place since at least the 70s/80s for both detection/prevention and the event/aftermath. Of course there would be many unforseen issues that may require drastic measures to be taken, but nothing like the mountain of legislation/etc that's been shoved through since 9/11.
I for one do not welcome our new patriotic masters.
On November 18, 1988, the President signed into law the Labeling of Hazardous Art Materials Act (Public Law 100-695).This law requires that all art materials be reviewed to determine the potential for causing a chronic hazard and that appropriate warning labels be put on those art materials found to pose a chronic hazard. . . .
The law applies to many children's toy products such as crayons, chalk, paint sets, modeling clay, coloring books, pencils, and any other products used by children to produce a work of visual or graphic art. . . .
Parents and others buying art materials, school supplies and toys such as crayons, paint sets, or modeling clay should be alert and purchase only those products which are accompanied by the statement "Conforms to ASTM D-4236." . . .
Elementary school children should use non-hazardous art materials that indicate they conform to ASTM D-4236
And as one who has mistakenly stuck an uncapped Sharpie in my mouth, they don't taste half bad either!
(I'm still pissed that the SOBs reordered the Narnia books in current collections. How can you possibly appreciate The Magician's Nephew without having read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? Stupidheads.)
Now that's just friggin stupid, CSL had a progression of both world and philosophy throughout the Narnia series that only works with Magician's Nephew late in the series. This progression can be seen to a much greater extent in his Cosmic Trilogy (or Ransom Trilogy) which contains Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength. Although some say the third book in that series is so different in both styling and story that it might be a better series without it, it does add greatly to the overall storyline and mythos. I guess some folks just want to screw with other's Art.
Because I maintain the How To Become A Hacker document, A Brief History of Hackerdom, the Jargon File, and am more or less the hackers' resident historian. It's my job to think of these things.
Hacker culture invents itself, and while he's done a good job of chronicling the hacker world, seems like everything I hear from ESR lately is pushing his view of things. I'll support a unviersal hacker symbol from him once he removes "Aunt Tillie" from the Jargon file.
Aunt Tillie: n.
[linux-kernel mailing list] The archetypal non-technical user, one's elderly and scatterbrained maiden aunt. Invoked in discussions of usability for people who are not hackers and geeks; one sees references to the "Aunt Tillie test".
For those who don't recall, ESR is the only one to have ever referenced "Aunt Tillie" in a msg. I myself prefer "Joe User" or even "Joe lUser", both of which aren't in the Jargon file, although just plain old "luser" is.
Did anything ever come of a forked Jargon file that removes the ESR "questionable" entries, IIRC on wardriving or somesuch.
Even tho IANAL, I know precedent is much of what law is. What does this really mean for the future?
In a motion filed Tuesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Ronald L. Cheng said his office made "an error" in its prosecution against Bret McDanel.
Does this mean the case doesn't have the same "weight of precedence" (to put it in my own possibly incorrect terms) as a completed court case would? The U.S. Attorney, does it effect laws nationwide now?
Privoxy works great with Squid, as mentioned above I've got them chained with Squid running in transparent mode. Here's a relevant snip from their FAQ. (quote edited down slightly for space)
3.16. How can I make Privoxy work with other
proxies like Squid?
This can be done and is often useful to combine the benefits of Privoxy with those of a caching proxy.
See the forwarding chapter in the user manual which describes how to do this.
3.18. Can Privoxy run as a "transparent" proxy?
No, Privoxy currently does not have this ability, though it is planned for a future release. Transparent proxies require special handling of the request headers beyond what Privoxy is now capable of.
Chaining Privoxy behind another proxy that has this ability should work though.
Works great, however I would enable rules on privoxy slowly in order to avoid the "something broke with web browsing and I don't know which of these options I should turn back off" syndrome.
ClarkConnect comes with Squid/Privoxy/Snort/SpamAssassin setup and ready to go, although in an earlier version I installed Privoxy myself and chained it to Squid with no problem.
Typical reasons for doing such substitutions are to eliminate common annoyances in HTML and JavaScript, such as pop-up windows, exit consoles, crippled windows without navigation tools, the infamous tag etc, to suppress images with certain width and height attributes (standard banner sizes or web-bugs), or just to have fun. The possibilities are endless.
Filtering works on any text-based document type, including plain text, HTML, JavaScript, CSS etc. (all text/* MIME types). Substitutions are made at the source level, so if you want to "roll your own" filters, you should be familiar with HTML syntax.
Privoxy is a successor to Junkbuster, and I use it with the Squid Proxy server in transparent mode. Of course I don't bother filtering nasty bits of text here at home, however it can be used to do any type of replacement you want thanks to a very powerful Perl-compatible regular substitution system. You literally can do ANY type of replacement, text for text, text for image (or the reverse), anything for anything. Of course I'm using pretty much the defaults since it came pre-installed (but not on by default of course!) with my free download of ClarkConnect Linux Firewall Home Version. Maybe it's not what happened in this particular case, but I'm sure some companies out there are making full use of this.
It is based on a site that Chris Csikszentmihalyi and Ryan McKinley of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Laboratory set up in July. That site encourages members of the public to post information about organisations, officials and politicians, such as their business links and the source of their campaign donations.
The demo site mentioned above is pretty damn cool, even offers monitoring of C-SPAN/C-SPAN2 as well as a "robot" that watches and records appearances by "people, pundits, or politicians who have recently been entered into our facial database". Hopefully the system looks this polished when it moves to being a P2P network!
Such tracking really needs oversight by the courts, and what I really see this as being useful for is replacing the "home arrest" anklets currently in use with one that can track via the cell grid.
I personally don't want to get into exactly which crimes would be most suited for this, but I'm sure it'd work out quite well for verifying the movements of paroles/probationers.
I've just gotta chime in that 2 to 3 minute toons are definately not enough, when I first heard of this I thought it was going to be a real cartoon not just filler. Too bad they didn't take the opportunity to use the savings from making cartoons instead of live action in order to actually flesh out the Star Wars universe. For the price of Ep1&2 they could probably turn every book ever written about SW into a damn cartoon. (Except "Splinter of the Mind's Eye" by Alan Dean Foster of course) Just wonderful, it'll probably be shoved in-between other cartoons during Toonami, meaning I won't see it until someone puts it up on one of the bittorrent or emule sites.
