Generally if someone get's overly drunk at my home, at any time of the year, they are invited, politely or more forcefully if needed, to sleep there. Simply encouraging someone to drink does not encourage them to drink and drive.
Somewhat OT but Glogg, or Mulled Wine, is absolutely wonderful at the holidays. I generally make about 40 bottles of it and give it out as gifts. It's very well recieved people love it as a gift (as a rule, store 2-3 extra bottles in the car when you visit a party, you can never be sure who will show up). It also warms you up wonderfully when you come back from caroling or sleigh riding with the little ones. A major component of Glogg is Aquavit, this year I had two extra bottles of Aquavit left over, one bottle got spiced with apples & cinnamon, the other, whole Pomogrante seeds and slices of orange. Both are absolutely fabulous. After letting them mull for a few weeks freeze them inside a block of ice, the ice will freeze around the bottle and but the Aquavit will stay liquid and freezing cold all through your holiday party.
First First Post, what a wonderful christmas present!
I actually did this, http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/ "tsocks is based on the 'shared library interceptor' concept. Through use of the LD_PRELOAD environment variable or the/etc/ld.so.preload file tsocks is automatically loaded into the process space of every executed program. From there it overrides the normal connect() function by providing its own. Thus when an application calls connect() to establish a TCP connection it instead passes control to tsocks. tsocks determines if the connection needs to be made via a SOCKS server (by checking/etc/tsocks.conf) and negotiates the connection if so (through use of the real connect() function )"
The problem is, tsocks does not intercept DNS requests. So you "leak" dns requests. So if someone wanted to track your internet usage, they only need to look at what dns requests you make, even though they can't actaully see your traffic. I suppose you could solve this by setting up/etc/resolv.conf to use a local dns server, and having that server tunnel all dns requests through Tor.
Actually, Tor does have an internal network. They are called hidden service URLS, they are URLs that work only on the tor network, though they are not distributed content the way freenet is. A Hidden Service URL looks something like this: http://6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion/ And, obviously, only functions when the TOR daemon intercepts your web browsers requests... The very cool thing about TOR is that it not only can forward HTTP but also any other arbitrary protocol... You can even forward SSH traffic if you are among the uber paranoid elite.
Unlike freenet, which I have tried to use for years and never got it to work properly, this actually works. Five minutes after I installed TOR i'm actually surfing the internet, anonymously, at decent speeds. Unlike freenet, i'm not stuck in a chatroom while someone tells me... Just wait 4-5 days for your node to associate with the network.... TOR is great, go EFF, making me proud to be a member!!!!
Even if he can't be charged under CAN-SPAM, doesn't this fit under existing laws? What he did must violate whatever soul-sucking contract he signed with AOL when he got his job and they can probably sue him for millions of dollars. I assume they want to get a criminal conviction as an example to others.
from http://www.cryptography.com/technology/spdc/ format Requirements.html#Question_1
Formats with Self-Protecting Digital Content(TM) solve this problem by enabling discs to carry their own security software that runs in a tiny security interpreter (VM) in each player. This software can identify and correct security problems in the player, re-establishing secure playback without revoking legitimate users' players. This capability is called system renewability or true renewability.
This sounds like the software they put on some audio CD's that would autorun and silently install itself preventing you from copying the CD. And, let's not forget we defeated that by pushing the shift key, no doubt the fix for this will be somewhat more complicated than that, but probably not by much.
no, it's just 5 years of continuious operation. Assuming that you use it for 5 hours a week (i would like to put this in to replace the floodlights in my backyard which are mounted high on the house and need to be replaced every year or so) it would last for 192 years. That's pretty much forever, at least long enough so my children and their children won't need to replace the bulb.
impossible until someone hacks up a way around it. If i had a car that I could play with this with I would be out in the garage right now. Who want's to volunteer their car.
Why not just rip the black boxes out? has anyone ever tried this, I would go out in my garage right now and rip the damn thing out but I only have old cars that almost certianly don't have boxes. Would removing the black box cause the car to stop functioning? I mean, we could just replace the box moments before returning it to the service facility. In fact, don't even remove the box, just pull the cables assuming they are not hard-wired. if they are snip a wire or two and make it look like it was damaged.
