OK, for your expencive stuff, you get a safe (even one of those small fireproof boxes) that has a plastic coating, with a metal handle. on the inside you put some kind of high voltage generator, (and ground make sure you have a good ground) and then in the back of the safe (kinda hidden), you put a key-switch, so if someone see's the safe and trys to open it or take it, they get shocked (make sure it's a good shock that will put them out for about 10 minutes) and if you need to open the safe, turn off the switch in the back, open it up.
The other thing i recommend is get some of that cable for chaining up a bike with the plastic coating, tie it to the biggest piece of furnature in the room. and build a little circuit that you hide inside the case that puts out the loudest noise possible.
or drill a whole on the bottom of the case, get one of those "personal alarms" from radioshack, so if you pull the string it sounds an alarm. and put the string through the hole and duct tape it to the floor, so an ususpecting theif will pick it right up and . . . ..
set a BIOS password on all your computers (and on a desktop, solder the little jumper together so nobody can reset it)
if you have a nice monitor, find a way to secure the video cable so that the only way to take it is to cut off the connector.
put stuff in your car if you don't need it in your dorm.
If anyone wants to watch a really good documentary about the 2000 election, and the security of the 2004 election. I recommend a documentary called "Ballot Battles" on the Discovery Times Channel.
In part of this documentary. a woman who is against electronic voting machines (who isn't a computer expert) was googling a manufacturer of electronic voting machines, and she stumbled apon all the firmware and source code to all their voting machines, she downloaded it, and filled 7 CD's and brought it to a computer security expert, and they were shocked about the poor coding of the voting machines operating system. With this information, she was able to easily hack the voting machine, and was able to teach an 8 year old to do it too.
it's a really good documentary, check it out.
unfortunatly, i don't know when it will air again, i just checked the TV schedule and didn't see it anywhere.
i don't think that their ballots should be transmitted in any way, shape, or form electronically. If ballots are supposed to by annonymous, how do they expect to be emailed or faxed, and how do they assure against ballot stuffing by fax or email. I think every soldier in Iraq should get one PAPER ballot, if he chooses not to vote, he should write something like "no vote". and those ballots will be physically delievered back to the US to be counted. but everyone should have the right to vote, as securly, safely, and anoynomously, as possible.
and i'm worryed if they decide to have email ballots, or fax ballots, that someone will spoof emails or something and stuff the ballots.
well, now they can make a lot more GPS satellites, if they are smaller, they can launch alot more of them. I still think they need a few more satellites, because sometimes it is hard to get 3 good signals.
Well, i know that one reason there is a military and civilian frequency, is because, the governement can increase/decrease/shut-off GPS service to civilians, for stategic purposes, like during hightened security status, the GPS accuracy goes down a little. But,GPS operates at a frequency so high, i don't think that the ionosphere doesn't effect it that much. maybe it's effected by troposheric bending or something.
This device will be excellent for Global Positioning Systems.
GPS works like this: every GPS satellite has an atomic clock, your GPS reciver calculates all the difforences in time and position of the GPS satellites, and based on knowing the distance from each satellite, is able to calculate where you are. Currently, GPS recievers have Quartz clocks that are constantly kept snycrenized by the attomic clocks in the satellites.
now quartz clock accuracy is nowhere near attomic clock accuracy, so this will make GPS recievers much more accurate. Even though GPS accuracy is already better than 10 feet/3 meters
well, i remember back in about 1996-1997 DOOM2's CD came with quake and a few other games on it, you call up ID software, give them your credit card number, they send you back a little code, you typed it in, and you had quake, and you didn't even need to leave your house!
i think it was quake, it might have been another ID game, i have a bad memory.
It's not just online harassment, i know kids have take a persons screen name, changed it so it looks just like someone elses just by changing one character or something, and start spamming people.
theres alot of impersination, one time someone did a "forgot your password" to me on yahoo, so i looked at the IP address, IMed the person i think who did it, did a "direct connect" with a packet sniffer running, when i saw the IP's matched up, i had the evidence.
i think it's not just harassment, but alot of kids try to impersonate other people, and it's rediculous because on the internet anyone can pretend to be anyone.
but in my experiences, on aim and yahoo theres either that "block" or "ignore" button, but i think the worst thing is NOT through instant messaging and chat, BUT slanderous web pages, and postings, BUT THE OVERALL WORST THING is impersonation.
Theres also some other tricks that people might try to pull, like registering 9999 screen names and "warning" idle people, but thats nothing.
but the whole internet bullying thing is a serious problem
I like that idea! i can't get into the site right now, must be overloaded
I bought an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 thinking that all graphics cards worked on the same raw plug and play drivers like printers. but it turns out it's not compatible with any operating system except Windows, Redhat, and Mandrake. and even then, it's BEARLY compatible. i only got it because it was recommended to me, because i didn't really give a crap about my graphics card.
i guess it's true, if you make adware/spyware/malware, kids will download it, kids seem to be into that crap these days.
now what the hell? i'm confused
why?
what?
SOMEONE IS NOW TRYING TO RUIN MOZILLA FIREFOX!
luckly it's just some nut making the software, and it's not on mozillas site or anything, but WTF?
hopefully it won't get bundled in with anything, and firefox continues to be the worlds best web browser.
i remember having to spend an hour every time i had to use a school computer, just trying to get rid of all the spyware/adware/malware on the computers.
i don't know if theres any truth to this, but i've heard in 10 years HDTV is gonna be obsolite, because that the technology to deliver even greater broadband will be available.
however i can't see any computer use for these 100TB disks, but it might be used to replace the DVD for use with "SUPER HIGH DEFENITION TELEVISION"
i think spectrum ownership is bullshit, i don't think that anyone should be able to own spectrum. especially that everythign today is "wireless"
I am a ham radio operator, so i get really ticked off whenever a new technology comes out that requires alot of spectrum, for example, when UPS (the men in brown) came out with those stupid electronic signature things, they took out half of a ham radio band called "the 222 Mhz band" just so that ups could have those stupid signature things.
there is a technology called "BPL" broadband over powerline, that basicly injects radio frequencys into the powerline, and then the powerline acts like a giant antenna, so it interferes with EVERYTHING.
i have a TiVo, but it's the only DVR that works with DirecTV, but i like TiVo i can't believe i ever lived without it, i can't believe i ever lived without DirecTV either.
but thunderbird works so well, i don't really need to apply spam armoring, i don't even apply spam armoring to slashdot.
spam armoring is more trouble than it's worth, now how the hell am i supposed to figureout your email address if it's "digtemail@@@email...com" WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? is it digtemail@email.com ?
and i don't want to use javascripts because way to many people use web mail, and the mailto: will just open a mail client they don't use.
besides that, i have fun with the "opt-out" sites, i wrote a script that generates random email addresses.
and Thunderbird really does STOP spam, not just filter it, if you read my article on my website, showed how to change the options of the preview plane, i bearly get any spam at all, thanks to thundebird, and the very little spam i do get, thunderbird usually filters.
First of all, if you haven't switched to Thunderbird yet, you are missing out!
I've never had a problem with Thunderbird!
Thunderbird saved me from having to change my email address, i was getting rediculous amounts of spam, but then i switched to thunderbird, and in less than a month i went from more than 125 spams a day to Zero.
Thanks Mozilla!
Thanks!
Thunderbird is the BEST there is!

some network cards and routers and other network devices allow you to change your MAC.

I'm wondering if this just means they made a NEW transitor OR if they made existing transistor designs smaller and still keep their capibilities.
laser mouse is still optical
even with a laser it will still be optical
well, now they can make a lot more GPS satellites, if they are smaller, they can launch alot more of them. I still think they need a few more satellites, because sometimes it is hard to get 3 good signals.
the internet was supposed to be a communcation system, that will operate even if a large part of it were knocked out because of nuclear war.

anyone could copy media, with a tape recorder from 10 years ago. How will the FCC keep track of all that?
