Sounds good. I define my technolust by my illogical desire to have the latest techno gear, like the Treo 700p, the Sony Reader, and others, and by my desire to someday automate my house.

I've been searching a bit on Google and Sourceforge, but I can't find any free gzipping utilities for Windows. I have 7zip, which can make a tarball, but I'm looking for a gzip or bz2 filter, anyone have some suggestions?

What router is he using? Someone in my clan had a faulty Linksys router which kept causing him and his son to continually lag out of games.

Just watched the episode, happy birthday Jenn, and be careful with that 60 WoW pass!

I like Cincinatti Chili alot, which is basically using thick chili as sauce with some spaghetti, tastes really good and fills you up.

hope you enjoy yourself

Version 0.3.2 released. Change Log and site Didn't get much done on this release, just added an update notification system and information on which browsers visitors are using to view your site with.

Found this on Slashdot and thought it was funny. Apparently there was a live product demo of voice recognition for Windows Vista, but everything went horribly wrong. They blamed it on ambient noices, but the room was quiet... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1123221217782777472 Sort of reminds me of the time when they did a live demo of plug and play with a scanner for Win98 and the blue screen came up when they plugged in the scanner.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the MS in MSNBC stands for Microsoft, so that might why they want you to use IE.

Basic Formula for a Tech website name: [over-used/non-sensical adjective]+[computer related noun] Oh yeah, my intel runs so hot, my case is a bakery....

30 Mbits down/10? Mbits up, from Verizon FIOS. Something like $60/month in NY I think.

no, I thing it is spelled Google haha I use English Wikipedia as my homepage.

Really good picture, I like it alot. The UN headquarters tower looks good as well from that view. It would've been cool if you could've taken some pictures of the city at night, but it would've been hard to set the exposure right.

Let's see a yesterday the house nearly unanimously voted (save 8 votes) to voice its support of Israel's actions, that seems like a pretty solid approval for Israel defense. Sure, we're sending Condi Rice over there sometime this/next week, but probably once the fighting stops. The US has great interest in seeing Israel destroy/weaken Hezbollah. I stay by Israel's actions, but I can understand fully if a generation of Lebanese has a certain animosity towards Israel.

I agree, Israel should extend an offering to the Lebanese military (more for politcal reasons than for actual military help, which they can't provide much of), because if the Lebanese military allies with Hezbollah, like they're threatening to do, it would be a major politcal and moral loss for Israel. I think Iran is at the center of two of the bad things going on. Apparently, at that last missle test in the DPNK, there were a couple Iranian scientists there to see if the North Korean missles were any good. Two, Iran supports Hezbollah and Hamas with money and arms which they get from North Korea and Russia, which gets used against Israel, destabilizing the region. Is it a conincidence that this violence broke out right when the G8 summit was about to discuss Iran's nuclear program? I think not.

I'll legally be able to donate via paypal in 4 months, 10 days, 1 hour, and 44 minutes. :) Otherwise.. unless you accept money in the mail, I can't donate.

Well, I think, if Israel goes ahead and starts massive ground ops in South Lebanon, I think we'll be in for a much more prolonged engagement.. If Israel is able to deal a major blow to Hezbollah during this escalation of violence, then I think that the violence is worth it. If they do nothing more than inflame more muslims into joining Hezbollah, well, then they've failed.

hehe, if it wasn't Darren, I'd post this image, except I suppose the comment does mean something.

I don't know if anyone remembers Raiden, but I loved that game, and recently found a really good flash remake of it. Here's the link for anyone who has a bit of nostalgia for that game, like me: http://fpflashfarm.com/FB49PFBFFKJ42BF/7708_raidenx.swf

No. Iran does not have nukes. They are attempting to head down a path which can lead them to producing their own nukes however. I think the public seems to be handling North Korea having nukes and testing out ballistic missles quite fine. You don't see mass evacuations of California or Alaska, do you? Why would knowing that Iran, a country without ICBMs, has nuclear weapons (especially when Israel is a closer target) be harder for the public to handle then what Kim Jong is doing, who has Nuclear devs, is actively testing ICBM technology, and is acting like a madman?

I'd pay for a Hak5 wall poster for season 2, you know like a movie poster, to support you guys.

I've been working on an open-source webstats program on sourceforge as the lone developer, and I was wondering if I could get some feedback or auditing on it. It runs on PHP and MySQL and uses formulas from my Statistics course I took this year to make predictions regarding bandwidth useage and other things. Anyway, I would appreciate any sort of feedback on it and what you think of it (if you have time to look at it.)

How many of you guys agree with Newt Gingrich's statement that this is the start of 'World War III.' I think he's over exaggerating to get his name on the news, but do you think he's serious? Should I get ready move to Canada before my 18th birthday?

I've found a couple projects on SourceForge that have voice changing abilities, but only for their own program on their own network. I haven't found anything that operates on anything like Ventrilo or TeamSpeak that seems to be able to change the sound of your voice. If I come across anything, I'll post a link to it.

Well, if they're getting the current date and time from a webserver, you can probably also bet they've stored your IP on their webserver, and know that you've used it before. All you would have to do (if this is the case) is simply trick it into think that you are a different IP then you really are. Also, it'd probably be smart to check your registry for any keys relating to Screaming Bee as it might use that as well for a double-referene. That's how I'd start off atleast.
