Nevertheless... snippets like WikiLeaks supremo., who has a child from a failed relationship around 20 years ago — among others *really* show the yellowish journalism quality of dailymail, don't they?
Thanks for the document. I chuckled at the stupidity of the laws in Sweden, and how sensitive Swedish people are:
She was later to tell police that, at the restaurant, Assange put his arm around her shoulder. ‘I was flattered. It was obvious that he was flirting,’ she reportedly said.
OMG, he SAW my hair!! he surely was flirting...
I hope Swedish people never go to Latin America (e.g. Mexico where I am from) where people relate with each other using a lot of body contact (hugging between males or male and female is very "normal" and does not signify any kind of flirting or monstrous sex appetite)..
Then why don't they try, I dunno, maybe writing their own games instead of leeching off the work of others!
Duh! because they are not game developers, they are software reverse engineers.
Seriously, I use to do cracking for fun in my university years, although mainly for personal satisfaction. I did several Winzip keygens back in the day (no, never released any).
Once you understand, it is *really* cool to launch SoftIce and get into the "bowels" of the software by reading assembly and understanding how stuff works... it is like looking inside your car machinery... but just with bytes instead of spark-plugs.
The point is, as someone said later, a lot of times people cracking the software are only interested in understanding the cracking mechanism and realizing how to bypass it. That is all!
There is a third option that I see here... and makes me personally affected.
See, each DS game is a big piece of plastic. If I want to take my DS complete game collection with me in each trip, I would need to carry all of them in a big bag.
By format-shifting said games I bought, I am able to take just ONE cart inside the DS and have access to all the games I and my wife like.
So, for me, buying a game that is "uncrackable" is a no go, because it means to play that game I would need to take the piece of plastic with me wherever I go.
No, I think he meant the altavista service by Digital... which was under the http://altavista.digital.com/ URL... and not the altavista.com domain which IIRC was owned by a farmer haha.
Not long ago I was looking for some ebook reader review (a sony one IIRC) and all that I got from Google was pages and pages of advertisement.
Google results are only bearable after using Google Filter scripts.
And with this new development, it is clear that the Google search service is not providing complete results sorted by "importance" but that are actively filtering out web pages due to pressure of third parties.
Yup... scientists these days have to be *very* *very* careful on how they announce their findings.
Take for example Dr. Eugene Podkletnov findings on gravity-shielding. The world could have made a strong investment in further research for this technology. However, because a sensationalist journalist decided to equate the findings with "OMG We have anti gravity!!!!" and publish a sensationalist article, there was a huge backlash in this line of research. And thus scientists are completely shy of publishing new findings.
Consider that such scientific article had already been peer reviewed and accepted in a scientific publication... it was just because an unscrupulous editor leaked the paper that the fallout came.
I had a quick read in the distributed notepad that the guys behind the dns-p2p are using. One of the clarifications they made there is that this dns-p2p would be mainly aimed at ISPs. The idea is that ISPs use dns-p2p to update the records of their own DNS and their users do not have to change anything.
If they can make say google 4.4.4.4 or 8.8.8.8 DNS adopt dns-p2p or a bunch of other mainstream dns providers, then we have won.
Blah... as sibling said, your comment does not make sense.
With a flat namespace you could have among others my-shitty-spamsite.a my-shitty-spamsite.b my-shitty-spamsite.aaaa my-shitty-spamsite.a my-shitty-spamsite.com my-shitty-spamsite|com
The idea is that the dot would not have any semantic meaning within the name.
The TLDs are a baggage from the prehistoric internet era when the internet was just starting and researchers thought the World Wide Web would be an ordered place (put all commercial under a.com, all NGOs and similar under org, all education under edu, etc). Nowadays you have all kind of sites under all type of subdomains... the conventions do not makes sense.
"Crimes against humanity" is a very, VERY serious charge. Not just "serial killer" serious. I'm talking "Hitler"-level evil, the sort of crime that is remembered for generations to come. If you use that term for every politician you disagree with, you're diluting the term..
Mhmmm, should I declare you a Godwinner?... how many picohitlers are we talking about here?
StarLogo TNG, being one of the successors of the LOGO language, StarLogo TNG provides an easy and fun environment to learn about "programming" by using graphical "building blocks" (akin to Lego) to create a program.
Plus, it makes is very easy to populate simple 3D worlds with "agents".
Some time ago, the Mexican army killed a very important drug capo (Nacho Coronel) and obtained his laptop.
The government said that they found some important information including lists of people who were paid by the capo.
Oh how I wish that some guy in the Mexican Army could be as courageous and patriotic as Bradley Manning to release all the data from the laptop to wikileaks.
It is almost certain that a lot of people in the paid list are in high ranking government positions in Mexico...
I know it is a bit of an hyperbole... but I've been reading a lot of "OMG Think of the children" reaction both here in slashdot and in Reddit lately, in reaction to the children-patdown.
Well, at the risk of being modded down, I just want to comment that kids have been indeed used to transport illegal material through flights (specifically, packages of cocaine).
A real example of that is a Mexican woman with two children that where caught with several cocaine packages in London Heathrow airport. You can read about that in this book... or here
Now... this does not mean I am in favour of the children molesting that the TSA is currently doing... nevertheless we should have in mind that there is a possibility of a terrorist filling his kid with explosives just for the sake of it:-/
What a fucked up society we live in today... isn't it?
It is so funny that you point to a video of a guy who actually went to work for Microsfot to develop the Kinect.
The thing about the Kinect is not the camera per-se but the complete system for gaming. Including the SDK and API that Microsoft had to build in order to introduce the abilities of PrimeSense hardware to Xbox games...
Also, your video shows you have no idea what you are talking about, comparing the Wii IR sensor with a set of cameras that can detect depth.
So,... you are saying that the guys who buy Xboxes behave like animals whereas the guys who buy PS3s and Wiis behave like human beens.
In that case my question would be... WHAT THE FUCK does people do to their Xbox 360 so that there is a 23.7% failure rate, against a 10% rate for the PS3 and a 2.7% rate of the Wii??

Stupid old world-wide-web trivia.
I search for specs or schematics or howto's
THIS! Geocities was a *really* good place to find technical stuff and schematics of electronic projects.
Nowadays the majority of stuff available in the web is ads...
*grump* *grump*
See you, I'll be in Gopher.
The internet is a fucking shopping catalog.

Time to try Bing?

That could be challenged by including some kind of "peer reputation" system within the protocol
What I don't understand is why doesn't Wikileaks uploads a copy of all that to Freenet?

Well... from American universities that charge you around $10,000 a semester, you cannot expect less...
Stupid, this does not have anything to do with Google.
The only reason why Google is mentioned is because this guys happens to work here.

Poser + Blender + Blender Game Engine + Kinect = Lots of fun =oD
A good encryption system should add a salt to the passwords so that even getting the hashes makes it difficult to brute-force the password :)
I will be the first to say *please please please!!!"
So,... you are saying that the guys who buy Xboxes behave like animals whereas the guys who buy PS3s and Wiis behave like human beens.

The only thing I want to know is: Does Windows 7 Mobile allows me to squirt my pals?
Congratulations man...
It seems it is only a bunch of at most 10 people the ones who make all the console hacking.
