you should have seen jason scott aka "sketch cow" bite it on a segway at defcon this yr. He was doing laps in the lounge area when all of a sudden it lunges forward and jason goes over the front.....it was awesome!!!
Ok I have to totally disagree with TSA and the word "random"...I am one of the unfortunate who has found him or herself on a "watchlist". What does this mean? It means I cannot use the self serve kiosk systems and I have to go through the task ofreporting to a ticketing afent then being asked why I am traveling and for what purpose. Is it effective? NO! They only check me leaving on a roundtrip. I guess they are assuming either 1. im not the individual they are seeking or...2. I am only a threat leaving my city of origin. Either way its quite annoying. I have blogged about this on my site www.sting3r.com several times. ****THE "SSSS" DO MEAN YOUR GETTING THE PAT DOWN****! If you see them on the bottom right of your ticket count on being patted down and searched. I travel at least once a month and the TSA scares me to be honest. My friend and I slept in BWI airport to get the first plane out on a business trip and what transpired scared me. We got our tickets at the counter and headed for the security line. Being tired somehow we mixed up the tickets. I had his and he mine. I got all the way through security before I realized I had his ticket. The TSA agent looked at my ID and the ticket and did not even notice the names were totally different. TSA needs to be disbanned and the money taken and spent on GS employees who might really care about air travel safety!
wow thatis truly naive!!! You really think people once the pirated copy is disabled are really going to go buy it? I have one copy of windows....and use it for nothing more than a box to test new exploits on. I at one time was a windows user. Once I started to learn more about operating systems and how flawed windows is I decided to get an OS that I can TRULY configure. I dont think for a second people will up and BUY windows OS....Linux and linux like distros are gaining more popularity....I think people will have moment of solid thinking and download a real OS. One which doesnt rape your machine of resources and private data everytime you boot up.
Hey man I know your pain....I left the military in 2003 after serving as a cryptologist. One thing id like to say though it the military I was used to was much much more organized than the corporate world. I have spent hours trying to figure out the method of madness in the corporate world. They ask you a question you give them the straight answer and they get upset because it isnt what they wanted to hear! I miss the days of active duty where I knew what to expect and everything was black and white and no GM asked me to lie for him or his guys.....There is no work as honest as the DOD. I also worked as a DOD contractor for quite sometime and life was simple.....you knew what was expected and how to accomplish the goals set forth. I always knew exactly what the goal was and didnt ask questions...just performed! My boss recently told me he thought it was his job to help me decompress from the military.....I say BS its my job to show by example what ethics are and hot to achieve a goal by working and not BS'ing your way through it.
