  1. Re:wtf! on DHS Wants Master Key for DNS · · Score: 1, Informative

    It's a simple matter to point the DNS entry to a machine of your choice and then just pass all the traffic on through to the real machine, monitoring both directions thereafter. As soon as anyone logs in, you're in.

  2. The conspiracy theorists were right all along on Cassini Probes the Hexagon On Saturn · · Score: 1

    That's the Illuminati All Seeing Eye!

  3. Right product, wrong use? on Paint Provides Network Protection · · Score: 1

    Just paint three of the four walls and it should act a massive wifi reflector. I'm using a piece of foil that's only about 8" X 8" as a reflecter and it gives me about 10%-20% more in both signal strength and quality and ends up extending the range (in one direction) 50 feet or so... having an entire room as a reflecter would be awesome!

  4. links on Is "Making Available" Copyright Infringement? · · Score: 1

    Isn't linking to something 'making available' ? It seems like it would be, by definition. How the hell is that going to work? On the news section of here: http://documentaries.ws/ I import headlines from various rss feeds - I can understand how a wholesale copy and paste of an entire article might infringe copyright, but now will it be just linking too!? Is there no fair use?

  5. Re:It doesn't matter... on When Were the Americas Populated? · · Score: 1

    Oh BOO-HOO! If the US didn't come in and take over, it would have been someone else... the French or English most likely. Perhaps the natives could have prevented this if they would have stopped massacreing eachother and invented a few things - LIKE THE WHEEL! Anyway, if it hadn't been the US, then obviously Hitler would have won and sterilized the planet of all non aryans regardless. So as bad as it turned out, it certainly could have been worse.

  6. As soon as Bush finds out... on Chimps Found Making Own Weapons to Hunt for Food · · Score: 1

    ...he'll have some army uniforms tailored for them and have them join the 'surge' in Iraq.

  7. race-foo on Do You Care About Race in Games? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I remember back in the 80's playing text based games and thinking how cool it was that this new medium would put race aside... how wrong I was. The premis of the article misses the point, it's not the color of the hand that holds the gun that is important... it's the target at the end of the barrel. A huge majority of games these days are promoting an "it's okay to shoot browns (arabs)" mentality and that just fucked up. I wonder who is promoting it? Strange how media and the game world have locked lips.

  8. what else is new? on 'Best' Fake Blog of 2006 Awarded · · Score: 3, Informative

    Sony has been dominating this arena since the beginning. I remember that phony giantology blog promoting Shadow of the Collossus a while back making huge ripples. (google giantology). I'm half tempted to make a fake blog condemning fake blogs, but that'd be nearly as bad as giving out fake awards for making fake blogs, wouldn't it? I mean... get real.

  9. Too little, too late on The Return of the Fairness Doctrine? · · Score: 1

    The mainstream media are nothing but liars, living in the pockets of corporate america and the government. Bought off, they sold out the people for a buck. A totally new doctrine would be better. Something barring phony news provided by the government or corporations and all propaganda as well as limiting media consolidation. Why bother though? It's too late. The media has lost all credibility. A few holdouts perk their ears up now and then to see what Olbermann might say... which is somehow surprising because he's actually doing his job and that makes him rare, but for the most part big media is done. People flock to the internet for independent reporters and blogs, for the simple reason that they know the mainsteam media is lying to them.

  10. Free For All on Companies Betting on WiMAX · · Score: 1

    What's to keep people from simply connecting to each other with this technology and eventually growing into one monsterous spaghetti tangle of an end-user driven wireless internet? It would seem to cut out the commercial overlords as well as intrusive goverment oversight and regulation. Did 'they' screw up and let the cat out of the bag on this one, thus enabling a free for all, unregulated new internet to emerge? A quick perusal of some equipment vendors shows that at least some products are available in the license free range and the fact that they offer services such as "intracell blocking" to keep subscribers from directly connecting to eachother suggests that the ability to do so is actually a built in 'feature'. This has a lot of possibilities. I wonder if they were short sighted to the possibilities of losing control over this medium or just betting that the masses would be too stupid to make use of it in such guerilla style tactic.

  11. LIHOP/MIHOP on Administration Ignored Bin Laden Intel · · Score: 1

    "And strangely, the meeting was never mentioned during all the 9/11 commission reports" The 9/11 Commission was a joke. Underfunded, it didn't even get underway until over a year after the attacks. The crime of the century happened, a crime which changed America and the world forever and the administration resisted every attempt to get to the bottom of it. WTF? And further, all that time I was growing up during the cold war are you telling me the Soviets could have just used a similar tactic and wiped us out? WTF? This time the kooky conspiracy nuts might just have it right. Research: http://tsoldrin.blogspot.com/2006/09/911-multimedi a-extravaganza.html
