7.7 million actually, but who's counting?
I really don't want torrents to move over to HTTPS (443) because then ANY traffic over that port is automatically considered to be pirate activity...

Nano FTW!
Can't stand vim in cli, but i did grab gvim. Great replacement for gedit!

tried it out and it did the first 25mb then just stopped and I had used my 1 attempt a day for guest account..
Yeah I'm trying it out again right now and its going terribly slow. It seems they finally figured out how to cap the guest accounts to get some more revenue for the premium accounts.
I'm toying with the idea to try it out for a month and see how it stacks up to the OMGIRC giganews SSL newsgroups account.

I do think it is funny that they took the search term cloud off the homepage because it was clear that a great number of people were using the internet for porn.
Completely agree ... but as we all know,

Actually some of us in here would be a target by local, state and/or federal police from past mistakes or current connections.
Proof.
(Nuff said)

Thanks for sharing. I will use for sure.
Oh, javascirpt:alert(startDownload(1)) is your friend.
I know very little (ok, nothing) about java scripting. Care to share on how that could be my friend?

@the same rate though now, it seems AMD has little going for it since the i7 boards are going down in price, and it kinda pissed me off that AMD thought "hey I know what will make us competitive, lets take the phenom x1's with the 2 bad cores, and rebrand them into overclocked Athlons"... They could have just worked on bringing back the Athlon name as a flagship, not a crapchip that my old Athlon X2 5600+ could outdo. (and mine is a REAL athlon).
Absolutely LOVE my AMD Athlon X2 chip. I built it with a gaming rig setup roughly 2 1/2 years ago and it's still kicking some ass today :) Some of our users on IRC are running the new i7 intel chips and love them. I also like how you can OC the i7's and when the thermal sensor reads that its getting to warm to keep up with performance, it starts to under clock the chip to cool it back off. Pretty neat, IMHO.
I 100% agree with bringing back the Athlon flagship. I would want nothing more from AMD.

I can think of a million different reasons to make your ip come from a specific area or look like another persons address, router block, etc... I guess I'm thinking more of anti-forensics though. If I live in small town middle of USA, and even if I use an open or cracked wifi network, it won't take long for PD to know I'm the local hacker...
Wow. Where do i start with this one?
1) Your local PD isn't sitting around monitoring everyone's wifi to ensure that skiddies like yourself arent phreaking some WEP. If you think they're going to bust down your door because you're stealing some bandwidth, then you're retarded. (no offense)
2) Some tips if you are using someones wifi connection. When possible try to use a secure tunnel (VPN, SSL, SSH proxy) because if it was so easy for you get onto that access point, who knows who else is eating up your yummy packets.
3) There are tons and tons of proxy solutions, and this is what you're seeking. Google is your friend.
Networking 101.Well played sir.

I got Shannon's back on this one. I think she merely found the way the OP spoke to be entertaining. Laughing to one self isn't "being mean to new comers" at all, just pointing out she was entertained by the post.
Ease up nerds.
EDIT: This made me smile :)
... mr Manuel_l while you do have an opinion, that is just plain rude.. besides she's the primary hak5 crew, not one of us blokes.*why the hell am i now talking in england style english?!*
I find myself doing that sometimes! Glad im not the only one!

You got yourself a keeper, miT
You don't have to tell me twice!
Thanks for the compliment ;) I like teaching her about Ubuntu as well as others on our IRC network. Almost 85% of our users have switched to linux (of all variants). We like to swap tips and help troubleshoot each others setups. It's quite entertaining and you learn a lot from others.

Just install auto-apt for her and she will be compiling from source in no time. Its not the best way but its fast if you have no idea.
auto-apt run ./configure
make
make install
We totally just hi-jacked this thread, but oh well..
I have her in terminal doing the usual sudo apt-get install's. She actually prefers the terminal than the package manager GUI.
I'm not sure what auto-apt is, but you bet i will be googleing it here in a sec :)
Thanks for the tip!

About ClamAV and other Linux anti-virus/trojan/rootkit/whatevs...
If you dual boot your comp with Linux and Windows, those tools are very handy...not so much for the Linux side (as others mentioned above, not much Linux malware exists), but for scanning your Win partition for viruses that might have root kitted themselves or otherwise tricked/corrupted your Windows AV program into not detecting or eliminating it.
After my gf's Windows-only laptop got ate up real bad with Conficker and nothing could remove it, I reinstalled XP and then installed Ubuntu. I didn't hold out much hope she'd switch over to using Linux (she likes the idea of how secure it is, but is too stubborn/lazy to learn a new OS
), I put it there for the next time some piece of super-malware decides to eat the Windows side of her computer.I recently did a full install (non-dual boot) of Ubuntu 8.04 for my gf on her laptop. She's sat there watching me troubleshoot things and install cool programs enough that she's now surpassing my expectations. She installed some photo program that you can sort and edit photos in 3D live. Sure she didn't build it from source, but the fact that she found something she liked and got it working is pretty amazing.
Her ubuntu interface is all tricked out now, very girly, but then again, she's a girl.
She loves Linux now, and I couldn't be more proud.

It might be valid, though I've never used steam and don't know if the url is legitimate. I've logged on to other chat clients and had similar messages that then say press 1 here to use this session and disconnect the other. This happens when I leave myself logged in at home and then log in at work.
I am completely thrown back by your reply. It can only mean one of two things:
1) It is the uninformed users like yourself that are fueling these phishing scams by actually believing it and upping their success rate.
or
2) You are the one that is sending out the phishing scam and are trying to prove its legitimacy so you can up your success rate.
Thoughts?

There are tons of free Linux books on the net, just google or bing it.
(omg did i just say bing it?.. wtf man)
One of my favorite sites: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/browse
Enjoy.

I am new to usenet and everywhere i look they all seem to charge money for the usage, per a GB and such.. can anyone recommend some good free usenet servers? thanks!
Usenet is not free.
You either pay for a monthly subscription (such as on giganews) or you can use the newsgroups provided by your ISP (which you are still paying for). ISP's limit the amount of traffic for newsgroups tremendously, so its better to go with a monthly subscription with your fav usenet site.
In either scenario you are going to have to pay money, i am unaware of any "free usenet" service. If it exists, please enlighten me :)

This is shopped. I've seen quite a lot of shops in my time and this one is shopped.

This happened to an old box i've had around for YEARS. Some weird board (PC Chips?) with a AMD 1.8ghz Sempr0n CPU. One day the computer wouldn't power up at all. The fans (CPU, Case, PS, ect) would start to spin but then you would year the voltage being cut from the entire board and all the fans would stop.
I first tested with a different power supply, same issue.
So i took out all the hardware, i mean everything, no ram, no cpu, just the board and PS. Guess there's some fail safe on it because it wouldnt power up unless there was RAM and a CPU present.
To this day it does the same thing, starts to power up, then cuts out. I always blamed it on the cheap CPU. I guess i could go buy one for like $12 in todays market :)

ok, i tryed sudo apt-get install syncterm and could not find the package in the repository, then went to their main site syncterm.net and downloaded the "Current" Linux version of it, then un-Gzipped it and it says file can not be openned or ran.. any ideas? what command did you use in ubuntu to apt get it?
is there alot of linux users on here that goto BBS? if so what do you use? i tried multiple bbs so i know its a problem on my side, i would not have a problem doing this in windows :P but im trying to learn linux better, thanks
My bad, they had it in the repos back in Hardy.
You can get the source and build it yourself now: http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sour...rc-20080406.tgz
If you need any assistance, let me know.

not quite, the correct URL so that the certificate is valid is https://www.furk.net
Wow, i didn't think people would be having so many issues with the URL.
I have edited the URL in the first post to reflect the CORRECT path, i apologize about this issue as i was unaware of their SSL certificate problem.
-
humm I followed the link and did not see a debian/ubuntu download link just windows and mac. I found a app called Qterm in the repositorys but it seems to be acting funny.. i add the bbs to the address book then when i click connect the program shuts
I used to have a WWiV BBS along time ago, so this seems interestingI just used apt-get from the ubuntu repos.

It defeats the whole purpose of the torrenting... I lurve to share too much to use a service like that.
That's what i was thinking. Some of the more popular torrents have direct download links, others just use Furk as a proxy, so it's still seeding back for you.

hello, I tried to logon to the BBS but it looks like my ubuntu terminal does not have ansi supported or something, the scrolling bar does not work, can not see all the buetiful BBS art.. how do i fix this?
edit:: i was useing gnome-terminal i guess which does not support ansi, so i got putty term and seen all the ansi but the scroll bar does not work. Any ideas? thanks
Syncterm :)

the certificate was issued for *.furk.net. The link in the OP's post sends you to furk.net, add www. to the front.
woops! Sorry about that!
