*gasp* gnome > KDEI would expect nothing less from a MAC user.....the one on the bottom of your post was probably one of the last good ones made..
well really ever since their first Ipod came out the quality of mac products had declined significantly.
alright off to the river to get drunk and wet. enough of my Mac hate.
hm... Hell I didn't even know people still used KDE :X
Never really liked KDE, especially since the last update to gnome. Nice, functional, takes up very little screen real-estate OTB and to top it all off, fairly customizable. Good enough for me :)

@VaKo - I think this is a GREAT idea slap some stank on the devs who are supposed to be making sure exploits are hard. But either way, we all know no matter what there will always be an exploit. Just depends on how feasible it is to make a script kiddy port :/

I would suspect this is very 'by invitation only' because the last thing M$ would want is for someone becoming too overzealous in showing off his techniques, gaining access to the servers that work with account data and making it out of the country with MILLIONS. Not very un-feasible if it's hosted on the Microsoft Campus.

I condone konboot. I think it's awesome. I have used it at least 20 times, and all for good.
1. getting into windows boxes quickly cause some teenage chick forgets her password
2. Once used it on a business linux box because the admin said F&*k you all! and walked out the door (no pw writedowns)
3. Great tool for the uber paraniod. Think about it. you type in the most stupid hard long password and just.. forget it! keep in on a usb key and that's it.

My real weakness is:
email servers, Winsock development, 3d/visual development (and 3d programming/game programming), home router p.o.s. nat/port configuration & DMZ (on select router/gateways anyways, and I think they were designed NOT to work :X), and Kernel programming.
Pretty much everything else I have at least a little bit of a hand in. From VB to C++ to recently Android Rom Devleopment, Windows Servers, Advanced/Corporate router/switch configuration, database design, linux administration, and yeah.. still no tech job :( But it will get there.
@Mnemonic - Dude, programming is really not all that hard. Usually setting up the sdk is the hardest thing. After that just find examples, tinker, change, and adapt. Before you know it you can make programs in almost any language, and it's an addictive hobby.

This is a perfect tool for rom development and app development :)

Damn VaKo.. Did not know that. I didn't figure they would actually spend any money connecting that stuff to the net.

abc news is known for being real dumbshits when it comes to anything related to viruses or malware or even hackers but this one is hillarious. Here is my type-interpretation of the piece.
{Michael Ball - ABC news}Federal agents this morning are investigating what could be a major security threat to power plants and big industries.
The threat comes from computer hackers, agents say their methods are advanced and unusual.
It's not just a nationwide threat, it's a world wide threat to power plants. Federal investigators discovered hackers are trying to break into computer systems and gain control. The department of homeland security discovered for the first time, a malicious computer code that was created to seize inner workings of not only power plants but industrial plants. They call it the Struxnet worm.
-Sean McGurk - Director of Control Systems Security Department of Homeland Security -
"Most of the activity that we have seen over the past several months has involved intrusions into enterprise or corporate networks, that is the front office area of a control plant or a power plant"
Investigators have discovered the computer code is capable of opening and closing doors and gates to allow access for potential intruders
-Sean McGurk
"That is very targeted and very soffisticated and that's why it's unique. This is the first peice of malicious code of this complexity that we have ever identified"
The Struxnet worm is considered serious because it can be unleased on a wide variety of industries
-Sean McGurk
"It can be used to purify water, it can be used to generate power, it can be used to build equiptment and vehicles; it tends to have a wide variety of purposes."
But the biggest concern it may be is aging power plants.
-Sean McGurk
"because if you can shut a power plant down, you can in fact shut down an entire interconnected infrastructure. In other words, the water will stop flowing, the banks wont operate, you cant pump gas"
13 teams of govt. cyber experts are investigating this unusual and complex computer threat.
Now here is the kicker.. If you read it when it says "that is the front office area of a control plant or a power plant" you would think they mean like a server closet in the front office... No. Someone made a worm that can open and close an automated gate or automated doors.. You should have seen the gate they showed. It was armed with soldiers. Surree your going to get into that one :/
Don't get me wrong I am sure the basically lead network security guy from Homeland Security knows his stuff (I hope so anyways...) but to say crap like someone can hack a power station and basically I guess shut it off? Why would anyone do that? And also if it's an AGING power plant, would it even be networked?! Most of everything that could be hacked would have to be something around the 90's era or higher, and very little of that would be on mission critical applications that the plant would have to have to function..
And so what this so called Struxnet worm is basically a virus with plugin capability? Big deal. That's been around for a long time. It's just another way the news can try to scare the crap out of people who don't know any better.
So... is it like.. Diehard 4?! WHERE'S MY NOKIA!!! :P
Oh and btw. Where is my water purifying worm for crying out loud?! I want my faucet infected with some of that! hah!

West Saiiiide! lol
There are asshats on all sides.
- The cannibalistic Windows fanboys that think they know more than everyone
- The rich Apple bitches that think they deserve something better than everyone else
- The broke ass linux smartasses who think all other O.S. developers are out to shaft everyone.
F*CK THEM ALL!

@Trip - Yeah I just looked that up. Gotta love the 5 star ratings everyone gave it! lol I mean well, you have to say it does what it says on the box! :D

I would think you would use a simple dac to translate. I am pretty sure the standard arduino duemilinauve(depends on which one so YMMV) has a dac built in so you could probably use that.
-
@digip - cheers to you for being a proper web dev. I can't tell you how many times, even on a "multi-browser compliant" web site, you pull up the one browser you usually use and it happens to not... be so.. compliant :/
Also have you ever messed with the developer tools for chrome? It's pretty bad ass. just go to document (well, the document picture anyway) on any webpage, click on developer, and developer tools. Pretty nice for anything from site debugging to site analysis.
I think chrome get's some bad rep on it's usefulness by the way it looks. There are tons of things available in it, you just have to know the shortcuts (which myself I don't mess with but I know there is a lot). I am really not sure on extension updates. Never checked.

@vako:
I have wondered this as well in numerous projects. I think it's just PR. It's pointless in devices like this to actually HAVE an OS at all.Why so desperate to involve linux?
Me to! The Sony MD player was crazy for battery life like that!I've owned budget players which have even had LCD screens which have run for hours, days even, from a *single AAA battery*
Well here ya go for that! http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_i...roducts_id=7832 and that's pretty expensive but it's pretty much a dev board! Send it to fab and in mass production, and your probably looking @ around $20 to $25/piece.As for what you could do with $50, I'm sure you could probably build your own basic mp3 player with an LCD and an SD card slot.I think it's just huge PR moves by a few rich linux lovers out there. Why else would they do that (especially in those form factors :X)
Also FYI, for folks in 3rd world countries that aren't too 'computer savvy' I don't think an I-tunes esque interface is the easiest option.

Chromium/chrome ftw. FireFox was my mainstay for a looong time but noticed on slower/lower RAM systems Chrome stomps FireFox and rubs a burning cigar in its face when it comes to speed and stability. I never had any issues and I am also a simple person so the minimalist setup is perfect (for me). I have never had problems with Chrome either.
I have also tried ie8, and opera. Opera to me seems like a clunkier version of FireFox and ie is just... ie. Works better than it used to but is close to FireFox on performance. You can count numbers all day but its then unique system you are running it on that really counts and depending on that your milage may vary on any browser.

@cabster21 - Wow that dude is total fail. Did you read the scrolling text on the right hand side when he was talking? I think the Ubuntu community should take note of this guy. He makes me NOT want to use it :X I like Ubuntu myself and I'll be completely honest why. I am a slacker. Ubuntu, for me is really easy to re install, which is why it's been my primary for a while on my desktop cause Win7 choked and I can't seem to fix it unless I reload. Not wanting to reload, I just figured I would cut out a decent partition and just sit on Ubuntu for a while. I will eventually reload but for now I am happy. I am trying to get my user/dev side going right now instead of worrying about my repair/reload/fix side.
"Supporting all non user friendly Linux Disrtos like Fedora is a waste of time" OMG... really? If it were not for all the different versions of linux, Ubuntu would not have even taken off. I honestly wish I knew this guy's home IP, I would get root, inject a really locked version of some old school Slackware or even some Arch and reload his kit.
The login screen would read "Since your so f*ing smart, you can create your own login script for the kernel", which would just drop him into Vi. lol

Well.. actually that's more of something I thought of for the forums but not exactly for your site. My bad. Guess it's the a.d.d. :/

I'm with digip, I only partition what I know I will need in the future and save the latter for other projects.
*note*
Partitions can be great for multiple different reasons
- ghetto tip #1 - if your hdd starts skipping, and you have NO resources to buy a new one, take note in a disk checking util when it starts skipping, try to calculate at what point in mb it is, and create 1 partition to right before the skip, 1 where it is skipping, and 1 afterward for the extra space. I used that process to keep running for 9 months on a bunk hdd and it worked out beautifully till I got another drive.

It has came to my conclusion that there is not too much of a point in rooting an android device, well that is until it meets it's eol (as my hero has ungracefully been pushed to by it's maker in leu of the newer and faster phones), but I am not trying to bring up the marketing vs. product longetivity issue.
BTW, you heard Google discontinued the Nexus? That sucks man. The phone is a staple.. even though not many people bought one.. But it was and remains THE true Android phone.
Also heh I forgot man, it's a nexus one, you don't need root cause you already have it! lol. I mean it is LOCKED per-say but not by much, and you were not plagued with the issues that us older Android platform users have been though, which is the reason why we rooted. BTW, 2.2 is CRAZY FAST on the Hero. Just as soon as the dev's knock a few more kinks out I am looking to go permanent with it (pending discontinuing my 2.1 rom)
-
Damn! I love it man, shoot I'd buy it from ya if I had the cash.
+1. That's a great idea you have going there. Heck I just wish you could inlay a photo upload and paste to/from imageshack.com. Now that would be Killer! for me anyways.
-
w00t!!! So now that jailbreaking is not illegal, then of course rooting our Androids is not illegal either right? (as if we android users cared :X)
BTW, VaKo, did you root yours yet? It's 100x easier to do now than it was before, and you can unroot just as easily.
Hell, I am a rom developer (well kitchen user).

GAH! Thank you halo!

To add to all this, I have to say I started watching @ - ep.1 season 3. I guess you could say I was one of those 'revision3 people' but never heard of hak5 until then.
Heck, I never knew anything of hacking until this show. I knew a lot about computers, and that was about it. The closest to any 'hack' that I knew was pirating music. No one I knew had any knowledge of anything so I basically taught myself whatever. My only real resource was books and the original call for help w/Leo and Kate in the ZDTV days. This was like my coming back to that time where I could learn something really awesome at every viewing, and that is what really drew me into the show.
It was originally the taboo of hacking that really got me wanting to learn more. To this day even though I know about things such as arp poisioning, mac spoofing, rainbow tables, and etc. I have never used this knowledge against anyone, but before then the only thing I knew about hacking/cracking/etc. was just that it was possible.
As far as the whole IRC thing, I think I know where both sides are coming from. Folks from the original IRC felt that Darren grew apart from THAT community and that he basically abandoned them in the whole foresight of making money and fame from the show and taking credit on the backs of others. Call it what you will, but regardless of how many ideas they may have contributed or have been contributed here, it's still Darren's show. He can do with it what he wills.
I have started growing away from the show myself, and the reason why is because Darren seems to be stopping, reversing back a season or so, and dragging anchor on some upper level projects and not the lower level ones we are used to. I also am sure that he will end up going forward again once he feels the target audience is educated enough to understand the rest of the story.
We all have lives and things to do day to day. Moonlit, regardless of your modesty you have done a great job at I am sure to the expense of extended periods of your own time and we are all very thankful *and VaKo and Sparda as well*.
One last thing.. Was there not at one point a moderator of the forums that had a falling out? I can't seem to remember who but it seemed there was a little bit of chaos at one point and he got banned... Or maybe that was another user? Oh well..

I knew I saw that weird ass thing before :P

For rip to work on separate vlans you have to specifically add for it to do so. I don't think your router will support that.
Can you get dd-wrt for that model? If so you can add it in that O.S.
