American apparel doesnt put any logos on their clothing. From the outside an american apparel store looks to be much like an abercrombie store. But the things they sell are just fairly high quality plain shirts and clothes, not pre-worn logo plastered crap like at abercrombie & fitch.
things were a bit expensive but the prices seemed understandable given the circumstances. I was actually fairly impressed by the place, but it might have changed since i was around it.
well upon searching past articles for "australia" i found the following articles. i am now going to base my entire opinion of the nation on how i feel about slashdot articles mentioning them. feel free to do the same with america.
Good:
Australia Pushes Geothermal Energy
Australia To Legalize VCR Recording and CD Ripping
Australian Linux Trademark Holds Water
Australia Says No To Spyware
Australia Gets 8Mbit/s Broadband now, 20Mbit Soon
Crocodile's Immune System Kills HIV
Bad:
Internet Censorship in Australia?
San Andreas Banned In Australia
Kazaa Owners Risk Jail
Tougher Copyright Laws for Australia
AU Regulations on LAN Cabling?
Australian Man Found Guilty for Hyperlinking
Linux Trademark Rejected in Australia (?)
Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info
Aussie Speed Cameras in Doubt Because of MD5
Australia's 'e-tax' Windows Only
im not trying to hate on australia, it just seems like there are many stories about some australian politicians doing wacky stuff. anyone else notice that?
like once a week there is a story about some weird ass thing that australia is doing. To me it seems like australia is just a wannabe of the american south. I cant really give any examples cause im to dumb to remember them, but i read storys about how the australian government is doing something stupid all the time.
Can we have a story about how australia is better than the rest of the world?
Cause i know my view of australians as a bunch of crocadile dundee's must be wrong, but im not seeing any evidence contrary. please educate me. (or flame i guess)
they will probably just drive around with humvee's broadcasting noise onto the frequencies galileo uses. you can jam the us GPS in a pretty big area using a device that uses less power than a lightbulb.
I just got my check from toshiba last summer for the overheating problems in my satellite 5005.
Those were the ones built with a desktop pentium 3 (rather than a mobile cpu) and really crappy cooling. Running the machine at full CPU for more than 20 seconds would cause a hard reset. Toshiba released a BIOS update that just underclocked the 1.1ghz cpu to like 800mhz. The cd drive also stopped working after a few months and the battery was worthless.
id never buy toshiba again.
I have been doing open source programming in VB6 for 4 years.
I had the utmost respect for OSS but no knowledge of linux or any of its programming languages, so i felt like opening up my Vb6 apps would be my small contribution to the world. i got no respect from any other programmers and i couldnt figure out why. they told me that as long as my projects were on a microsoft platform, in a proprietary language, that they could not fundimentally be open. i would forever be microsofts bitch.
Then microsoft killed Vb6, and i understood what they meant.
I am now writing this from a laptop i built especially for ubuntu
and i need to stop looking at slashdot because my C homework is due in 3 hours.
when will ubuntu get it?, i just ordered an intel/pro 2200 wireless card and so this makes me happy.\
but still i notice no changes to the orinoco wireless drivers.... this card has been around for ages, and is beloved by many wireless hackers, and yet, the kernels drivers for this card do not allow it to scan.
whats up with that?
maybe its just cause i live here, but about once a week i notice an article on slashdot reminding me of why portland/oregon is so wonderful. Anyone else notice that?
my p3 1ghz laptop has problems with overheating, luckily its out of warranty. With AMD chips running at the temperatures they do, it will be interesting to see how these laptops manage to stay cool.
my balls cant handle anything that hot so im staying away
there may be a way to exploit certain media players but unless you have your head up your ass, this isnt a viable method of attack.
*.exe is pretty much a universal filter on ALL p2p clients along with *.vbs. anyone stupid enough to fall for song.mp3.exe probably doesnt know the difference between an mp3 and an exe anyway.
putting the.mp3 in a files name is likley to draw more attention on a "hide known file extentions" box because files that normally do not display an extention, would start doing so. as long as your exe has an mp3 icon, no one knows the difference.
if a virus could infect an mp3, an avi, an mpeg, ect. dont you think someone would have done it by now? if they could carry viruses, the whole fucking internet would be infected.

The US education system is making itself irrelevant a little bit at a time. I guess im fucked because I have neither.
Here is what i have learned from closed source
1. reverse engineering
2. who to be friends with in the pirate scene
3. why Free software is so much better
Here is what i have learned from open source
1 Everything.

another day... another story about how amazing oregon is...
you gotta love oregon
i just finished hacking into microsofts code repository. this is the vista sourcecode.
#include WindowsXP.h
#include DRM.h
#include even_more_pointless_interface_crap.h
int main()
{
extract_money_from_users()
}
After extensive analysis, you too will realize that "sharing" will become a thing of the past. and microsoft will be thanked heavily by the *AA

probably 99.9% of all people in the world are not ripping and reburning all of their dvds, nor are they reflashing the firmware of their dvd players.
try playing a dvd from another country in your dvd player. the region codes will lock you out.
