No favorite band, just rap and rock. Mostly Nickelback, Lil Wayne, Good Charlotle, Simple Plan, Kanye West, The Fray, Some songs from 3 Doors Down. About it....
Oh and
Beatoven Classical. Kinda Wierd (Listen on Shuffle hearing Rap and Rock and then suddenly Classical :))

Me I liked season 1 and 2 best probably because well they weren't so damn profesional looking, still like season 3, 4, and 5 though.

It's not 100% all for global warming. That's a side effect of getting off of foreign oil. Global warming also doesn't mean that everything gets warming, climate change is more appropriate. That picture is from oism, which is a shady source. They call themselves an institute, but don't teach courses, accept students, nor an edu domain. Sketchy business..., assuming the source is accurate and we are coming out of an ice age, the worry is that it's happening too fast, not that it's happening at all.
Besides, setting up internal, renewable energy sources that create jobs and less pollution can't be a bad thing..., right?
Oooh, you edited to add this.It wasn't just America that didn't live within their means, it was several countries. The blame is half banks, half people. You sorta covered the people part, but the bank part is crucial. I don't want to explain it wrong, so I'd get the story, brilliantly told, here. Banks gave the money away to people who couldn't pay it back, so it's partially their fault too.
)
Also for green isn't bad, I never said it was... I said that if it causes prices to go up and the only reason to buy this and not something cheaper (which would be money management
nullAray what I'm saying is that this "lets become green" attitude should not be a main focus for government funds (yes it is a good goal but..) should be better money management (COs not getting 50000 trillion dollars), cheaper cars, more fuel efficient (not for green (yes its nice) but for less dependence on foreign oil and less money for gas)
For not just America, I didn't want to state something I didn't know and I live in America.
And to the banks great point! They shouldn't be giving money but they wouldn't have to worry about that if people were responsible and saved money and didn't depend on credit (we survived before credit cards.)

I agree with your points Razor 512 I was listening to someone on the radio (yes he was republican) and he made a point that in a capitalist country recession happen but yet let them go buy and it will be fine, its better than communism in the real world (in thought communism sounds great but in practice not so much). We should have never given "free money" to AIG or the car companies. Also for DIGIP
we don't need green technology to be a focus because of global warming (which is usually why people want it) know if it provides lower energy costs and a less expensive product sure (you save money both ways) but if its a buy it to stop the evil global warming even thought its 5x the cost(ok I am exaggerating) thought stream then it I don't want money supporting it (I don't believe global warming bull shit we are coming out of an ice age.)A big chunk of the money goes to green technology
Also if were coming out of an ice age why is so fucking cold. ;)
Also what help get us in this mess was that people bought houses and then walked away and then they didn't have to pay for it anymore (yes it hurt their credit but it was to easy to get a loan.) and everyone else ended up footing the bill and this irresponsibly caused this. Credit Cards buy know pay later (then not be able to afford but pay it off with another credit card...). I think what America needs to learn is to live with in their means and not use things that are buy it know and pay it off later because then people get into debt.
It makes me feel good that there are a lot of people around the world that understand that us US citizens hate himThen why did you elect him? Only when the economy went to the dogs did bush start doing such a horrible job in the minds of a large amount of the American populous (I don't believe in coincidence).

But why extend it those airwaves could be used for technologies no even thought of. Also 50$ even this $^#^ economy should be affordable (if you can't should you really be watching TV)...
Also those new inventions could bring more jobs to America and this delay is going to cost money (especially bad in this economy). Also those who already didn't by a converter box probably won't in June either (what delay it even more, it will cost bro casters more (YAY what we all need (sarcasm)).
So give a reason why this is could.

DTV Transition delayed. Two Words EPIC FAIL. :) What so the people who were already confused can get even more confused... Oh right so every one can have their TV working well February 17 they would know their TV doesn't work ;).

I am not saying that it is right to think that all Middle Eastener's or Islamic's are terrorists but it does come up and I'm not saying that you should use stereotypes but...
The September 11 attacks (often referred to as nine-eleven, written 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States on September 11, 2001. On that morning, 19 Islamist terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners.With 9/11 if four Arabic guys come up to you, you'll probably be thinking about terrorism (now their probably not but still it will come to mind). And 9/11 did have some Islam religious base (that the hijackers would be martyrs) and
<-- Wikipedia So Islam has a lot of Middle East believers and so you would associate that (Arabs) with Islam and Islam with 9/11 and 9/11 with Terrorism.originating with the teachings of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, a 7th century Arab religious and political figure. -
In 4x11 Darren Show off GOCR but in his post on applications and forums he first converted it with a program called DJPG. Were can I download it? Thanks

Episode 4x24
in Hak5
If you are going to do that (assuming python is the hammer available, etc) you may as well just use a dictionary inside the actual python file, making the python file pretty much 1 dictionary of hosts (or old IP addresses) to new ones and then 1 line of code to run the netsh command line, passing in the current data as the key to the dictionary and concatenating that into the command line to run.I expect it is also possible entirely inside the Windows PowerShell if that is available but I can't get my head around that massive list of weird, long named, hyphenated commands.
If you didn't have internet access working after the command line change, your network is probably set up differently to the example (e.g. common default gateways for home LANs are typically one of 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.254). In this case, they are moving from 192.168.*.* to something like 10.*.*.* so the default gateway would change anyway and someone in control of such a large network is unlikely to make such mistakes.
By the way, Python supports booleans so you don't have to use 't' and 'f' strings (you could use the True and False keywords) and if you are going to use a boolean to toggle between the lines like that, you may as well just read 2 lines on each pass of the loop.
I prefer t and f unless there is another reason to not use those and for Python becoming the dictionary I figured that a text file would be easier. Also I would be interested in your way of doing this. I was just trying to do this in 15 minutes and if I need something I google it, I never read an actual book.

I have a feeling this thread will be locked for containing no useful information nor any real content and being horribly offensive...
This why there is a thing called affirmitive action if its a minority and there could be any possibility of racism it will be made out to be a big thing. Oh and if four guys (or girls) were bigger than me I don't care if they are purple I'd be scared.
I am pretty sure if that was a.) a bunch of nerdy guys, or b.)a bunch of hot females, you would have acted differently.a) "Nerdy guys" you think of people who aren't that threatening (Yes its a stereotype, and not I don;t like stereotypes but that's what it is.). "hot females" Your mind might not be thinking about the threatening part, it might be else were and women aren't generally bigger then men (Not saying that it is always the case).

My Story:
Warning May born you to death procede with caution
You have been Warn
Well it all happened Christmas Day (2007) with my Uncle and me watching George Carlin. We watched a couple of his routines on youtube then forgot about it. Well the next me and my Uncle were at my Grandma's house and with no internet but want to watch George Carlin (It was a laptop I got that Christmas), so my Uncle and me tried to find the cache with explorer but soon he decided DOS would be better so we opened up CMD (Yes I know it is exactly DOS) and he taught me all about the commands and cd, dir, etc. Then I was searching for some tutorials to learn more and came upon something mysterious called BATCH scripting read a little about it then forgot about it and watched Live Free or Die Hard (using VLC) and fell asleep. Then a couple of months later I got an iPod and wanted to copy Live Free or Die Hard onto my iPod and so I set out to try and find how to do it with VLC I got it down finally and ripped following a guide at the VLC wiki. Well it did not sync and so I tried to convert it with iTunes and it was going way to slow so I set out to find what went wrong I looked at the guide I then found a youtube video to set the height and width throught the VLC preferences. I then converted Live Free or Die Hard to the proper setting and put it on my iPod. Later I wanted to again rip DVD to my iPod but it was a TV Show and 14 disk total (2 Seasons) (Yes I owned them and if you want to know the DVD were a show called Numbers from CBS) so I wanted to this more automated then Live Free or Die Hard so went to the VLC wiki Guide and tried the batch file the author had posted it didn't work so I created my own by learning batch files by using youtube. So I read up on all the information on the vlc command prompt and searched for how to set the height and width, and the converting options and dvd playback as well as setting titles, etc. I then created a batch file and ripped the disk over an afternoon. While watching either the show or Hak5 (I was behind and so learned about the swithblade, I searched for it download it and then after Symantec said it was a virus promptly deleted it). Then I created more and more batch files and read the Hak5 forums and tried to learn C and C++ then tried python and the rest is history (ok maybe not.).
BTW for a language to learn I would suggest python. Also you don't need to be a math wiz.

Did you even bother to try google... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...
Yes I tried google but had no luck all I found was info on desktops and new monitors, so I was hoping someone here could post or give some info to help me get in the right direction.

I searched and found a guide on pcmag on how to replace a screen and then found a seller that was selling of 295$. But saw in the comments a cheaper on for 178$ and I also searched on ebay for one with a buy it now price of 59.99. Links below

Tips
Find the monitor for your laptop at http://www.screentekinc.com/
THEN Search Google for the model i.e Dell Vostro 1000 15.4" WXGA (Matte) LCD Screens was for me
Check out ebay and craigslist
Buying ON Ebay sense they are a lot cheaper it could be a scam (after all almost 250$ cheaper) so if I buy on ebay I'll make sure to use PayPal for security's sake... So hopefully this makes it easier if this unfortunate thing ever happens to someone.
Thoughts as I look back before it broke...
Seeing the prices, if I knew before hand how expensive this could be I would be a lot more careful! (Not that I was using it as a football). Also it broke by falling from a coach on accident (about 1ft.) and it didn't even hit the monitor part so these are very weak... (though it has survived worse falls). So to rap it up I hope this will help others and warn others to the expense....
NOTE:
I have not baught the monitor yet (LCD not sure if it could be considered a monitor) so this is just preliminaries. I will hopefully post results.
If your laptop LCD gets damaged I hope this helps because I was extremely worried first if I could replace it then when I saw the 300$ one the expense sent me into a little shock. You can do this I thought at first it was going to be a big expensive sen to Dell sort of thing hopefully i won't be... LESSON: You don't want this to happen to you that is for sure and if it does don't get to worried about it... Enjoy! :) :) ;)

Not cracked but monitor displays colored lines and white to one side and you can see a "dent-like" mark on the border of the part of the monitor that does not work (Some of the monitor works). I know that I'll probably not be able to use that one and will need to get a new one. Anyone know were to get replacement laptop monitors? It is wide screen 15.4" and resolution of 1280x800
-
Anyone now or have experience with a broken laptop monitor... My on my dell Vostro 1000 broke. Is it cheaper to buy a new laptop? Cheaper to send to Dell? DIY Monitor Replacement? Thanks for the help.

Yes Python an easy language yet the GUI are you tired of the (self) and everything else that is in every line of code...
Try EasyGui @
Homepage:http://easygui.sourceforge.net/
Download:http://easygui.sourceforge.net/download.html
Download the zip extract it and copy the easygui.py to python-x.x.x\lib\site-packages for windows or on Mac to your site-packages location same for Linux
Enjoy! Not having your head spin in circles :)

Does this set off anyone else BS detector it does mine. It is also fun to read the comments on this. I took this as bull shit and had a good laugh. Especially sense the global warming BS mixed in (were coming out of an ice age that started about 10,000 yrs ago the earth is going to warm its OK the land that will supposedly be under water because of rapid ice glaciers melting was under water before the ice age).
Enjoy some laughs!
BTW Uses Spell check it isn't that hard. I used it. You have been warned.

I heard some people say that Hak5 has dumb itself down sense Rev3. I see it a little in comparison from season 1 - 3 and Season 4. If you (Hak5 Crew) are, dumbing down the show, don't do it. If I don't get something I'll find information on it and learn something if you don't get something do some reading. This reminds of, I believe it was the Security Now podcast, they were talking about how some podcast dumb it down to make it more attractive and they wouldn't because they want it to be good information and not, well, dumb. That is how I see it.

DIDIP OK maybe I shouldn't have phrased it as buy houses walk away but the end result was a lot houses in foreclosure and people walking away... Didn't mean to make it sound as though it happened in a day... Sorry for the mis-phrasing (<--- Is that a word?)
