it sucks that they did this, what ever happened to their retrial, it is a bad legal system if they cant get a retrial. even rapist and murderers get retrials

it was interesting but they constantly went back to things like that and basic software, not saying that it is not good, it is just that there was not enough variation, they didn't really listen to the community in which they has a lot of requests and posts about simple mods and builds that are low cost but still very useful battle bots is kinda like a special episode that gives people a into into a expensive world where people spend $20,000 on something just to break it within a hour I still watched all of the episodes, but the later ones didn't have as strong of an interest i hate that they are moving it into a segment of another show. there is so much more they can do with the show 1 thing they can do is skip the 5 year long godaddy ad that you cant skip before you can watch a streaming episode, only to have them play another 5 year long godaddy ad in the middle of the episode playing advertising the same product 2 times wont make me twice as likely to buy it. it will make me twice as likely to not watch the show at all if they want to have a ad before a show then do it like how other sites do, they will have a 3-5 second ad that quickly shows a sponsor of the show, then any other ads during the show are completely different anyway for systm, some of the stuff is cool but the main focus of many of the episodes should not be esoteric projects that may seem interesting but are too expensive to try systm should not touch software unless it directly has something to do with the hardware they are working on for that episode if they jump into basic software, then they are competing with other shows like tekzilla and in a battle like that, 1 show will fail they should just take like a 1 month break, and make the show 2 or 1 episode per month some shows do better as a monthly especially if they work on time consuming or complex projects. a week is not enough time especially when the people there have other jobs and a life, because of this, this will force the shows into going with the least time consuming projects and it generally turns out to be basic software app while RC bots are cool, it is something that should only be mentioned once if they want to keep the show targeted at the largest portion of their viewerbase which means cool, low cost mods and other hardware related stuff

system lost it's stuff when they moved to boring stuff like battle bots and random software tutorials that they googled for more of software stuff thats actually done right, stick with hak5 as even though hak5 is focusing a lot on software, there doing uncommon stuff (from the point of view from much of revision 3 ) systm did random tutorials and random basic apps and other than that, it was battlebot crap which while it does have a dedicated fan base, that fanbase is very small moving it into tekzilla as a short segment will mean it will be more of what made systm fail they chose to drop most of the hardware stuff for no reason there were many low cost hardware related things they could have done, the forums and emails were brimming with that stuff. theres no way to really do complex stuff with in a short segment they also lost viewers due to the denial of service attacks they did on their own show. wheres waldo... i mean wheres the episode while they have changed the site a little, most of their cancellations and bringing shows back after being canceled, happened during the "best of" rush where they constantly flooded the site with spam they will do much better if they get rid of the best of. the word best is relative to what each individual believes some say windows is the best os, some say mac os is, and others say linux is. best of should not be on their site. it is unprofessional and is spammy

that would be cool for those of us feeling a bit lazy to extract 2 zip files and move things to the correct place mainly did the installer because i did some for many other apps in which the maker made a app that needed a manual install and there were countless posts from users asking how to make it work and many threads and post explaining how so in those cases i always made an installer to avoid confusion it happened a lot for the java based pandoras jar also

you can download it from this page http://hak5.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=12047 posted by ZigZagJoe direct link to his download http://zzj.itf-inc.com/SPPS1.002c1.008dDS.zip and if your feeling a bit lazy and want a single out of the box solution then my installers work well for that (it does all of the install and setup work for you and adds a single desktop icon (optional) which launches both sproxy and firefox portable http://hak5.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11619 (on my installer by default i have it set for manual rip via the download button, (easier to rip the 5 songs you like instead of having it auto rip 200 songs and you have to manually delete the 195 songs you don't like, and since pandora saver caches the last 50 songs, you have up to 6 hours to grab a song that you missed if needed)

yay it stopped ripping positively rated songs after i closed pandora saver then opened it again app works perfectly (just needs the IE toggle thing so i can use it on the public computers in the college )

It works well but on public computers, only the fiddler one seems to work, because the other proxy app tries to change settings in IE, the app fails to launch (the computers in my college are very locked down to the point where you cant even right click) but that than that, it works great is still has the problem though when you give a song thumbs up, it rips the song which messes the windows media player playlist when it is sorted by date since it causes the song to appear at the top of the list, and other cases i will wind up with multiple copies of a song because when training the stations (the songs I like i tend to already have them on my pc, generally in one of my other music folders, and giving the song thumbs up will cause it to rip it makes it hard to train a station and i cant really load the site with out the proxy because if a good song comes up that i don't have, i wont be able to grab it

been gone for a while, lots of college work I really wish the forums allowed the editing of thread titles

forgot to add, after your done with them, use their email on sites like free ipod and other ad survey sites, that will make the email account useless I use them for sites that pay you to do surveys after 2-3 surveys, the email account will have about 5000-6000 emails and by the end of the day, there may be 15000 emails in the account

http://www.ebolamonkeyman.com/ this site has many funny stories of getting back at the scammers i say you should reply and mess with the idiot when one contacted my yahoo account, i tried to get the person to click on a link that automatically exploited ie6 and ie7 with no user action needed other then viewing the site and since the scammers are idiots there most likely running IE the person replied back and i explained to him that I run a small business and i was willing to invest in what he was doing and provided him a link to the site (was actually a small business whose site was taken over and infecting people with a ton of malware including vundo and antivirus 2009 the person didn't respond after that email so i don't know if he or she clicked it or not

did they pick a location in NYC yet if it is close by, I may go

many ISP's are putting steep bandwidth caps, with a 250GB cap, you can finish it in about a day at full bandwidth in many areas, isps will cap the bandwidth to 20-40GB, thats about 5 hours worth also their DRM is worst, you never own the game and if their company dies you loose your games, so you can invest hundreds into that service and when they go out of business, you loose everything network congestion can effect pings DRM is always bad though especially the kind that requires activations if the company dies, you cant activate the game you bought many DRM items install a system driver which slows your boot down you can disable them using the autoruns program many of them will change registry and other system settings and cause problems for other programs on your system streaming a game makes you loose control over the game so you cant do as much, you cant install custom mods and maps which makes multiplayer hard to do it is expensive to have a server handle all of the load so monthly fees will be high, remember a game server is easy to host, I used to host both a battlefield 2 and a star wars jedi academy server on a old PC using a amd athlon xp 2400+ overclocked and there would be no lag even with both servers in use but handling the load for a game will require a lot cpu power, memory and GPU power and will have to constantly be upgraded to keep a acceptable frame rate it will be expensive games do not come out often enough to justify a monthly fee and finding a good game is even more rare streaming a game is a ripoff it is like the idiots who spend $25 at home depot to rent a tool that only cost $30 a game is something you play more than once a service like netflix may work ok since when you get a movie, after your done watching it once, you don't really want it any more but for a game, you may end up paying like $100 to play a $20 game a few times

small guild if you are building a pc for as little money as possible 1, Pick a good CPU for gaming. High end doesnt always mean better performance in terms of you noticing it. When it comes to gaming, videocard requirements increase much faster than CPU requirements, Many companies will try to offer $1000-$1500 CPU's and claim things such as "ultimate performance" but in reality if you look at gaming performance benchmarks from sites like tomshardware, it only performs slightly better than $150-200 CPU (generally only a performance boost of about 1-3FPS ). Put more money towards a good videocard and quality system memory. (PS if you overclock using the stock cooler, try to keep the CPU temperatures under 70C) 2, Pick a videocard that gives good performance for the money and avoid SLI or crossfire. If one card gets very laggy performance in a game, 2 cards wont do much better and you will just be wasting money. In most benchmarks, SLI and crossfire will only give about a 20% performance boost (SLI and crossfire = twice the cost, twice the energy usage). Another thing you will notice is when a new GPU series comes out, it is generally much faster than a SLI or crossfire setup or the previous series of GPU. 3, Avoid getting the top of the line videocard. They are always outrageously expensive while only benchmarking slightly higher. For example at the time of release, the nvidia GTX 280 was nearly twice the cost of the GTX 260 while only being 7% faster ( proof: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/gaming-...0x1050,798.html ). The GTX 260 can be safely overclocked by up to 25% with very little change in GPU temperature (you can go higher if you alter the video bios to increase the GPU voltage) 4, Pick memory that overclocks well (you can get a idea of the overclocking ability of the memory be reading product reviews). Memory that is able to handle around a 15-20% overclock will give you a lot of head room when working with the memory dividers as you increase the CPU clock speed (incase you are planning on overclocking your CPU) 5, Don't skimp on the motherboard. Cheap motherboards don't overclock well and in many cases, they wont even offer you enough overclocking options to get a stable overclock out of your system. While it is good to avoid cheap motherboards, there is no need to go for super high end $300 boards because they generally don't overclock much better than the mid range motherboards (and even then, the CPU and memory will reach their max overclock before a mid range motherboard becomes unstable ( A gaming pc with a mid range CPU and a high end videocard will run modern games much better than a system with a high end CPU and mid range videocard ) (Be sure to read reviews on all of the hardware and pick out parts that wont be a bottleneck for the other hardware in your system, the benchmarks at tomshardware will allow you to see which parts will be a bottleneck for your system) Give your price range and list which programs you will be using and we will select parts for you that will fit your price range Building a gaming pc is always more cost effective than buying one

I have my SSID set to puppies WPA2 and a second router "homenetwork" with a very weak wep which i have a old 533MHz pc hooked up to and running a packet sniffer, i only turn it on when I can actively monitor it because there are a few people who like to steal wifi around here and I have collected many logins for many sites, and using the info i am able to find out who exactly they are in the area. I use a weak pass so only people trying to get through it will get in, other random people will not be able to get in. great way to find the jerks in the area who will actually break into a network for the purpose of stealing bandwidth (and if they become too much of a jerk, you can log in to their social networks and post porn on it)

I will wait a while longer, for now is there anything for your business that you need windows 7 in order to do, for me with XP everything I do works, 99% of my games are not dx 10 i have no need to upgrade because the upgrade will just make my currently apps slower I dual boot windows xp and vista and theres a clear performance difference, windows 7 isn't much better than windows vista in terms of application performance while it booted faster then vista by a little, it was still no where near the speed of xp, my 3d mark 06 score also went down from around 9600 in windows xp to around 8700-8800 in windows vista and windows 7 (for windows 7 i cant take the score seriously because there no agp hotfix drivers for it and based on experience with xp and using non hotfix drivers, some games would crash for no reason or the screen would randomly go into standby and the VPU recover will restart the drivers) I am using a AGP ati radeon 3850 (If you have a agp system and are looking for a new card and you see a 3850, run away as fast as possible, it is a terrible card, it runs at 110+C so overclocking wont be much fun, the heatsink on it is smaller than the heatsink on my old geforce 4, it looks big but under the plastic shield, it is just a tiny chipset like heatsink with more fins and thinner fins, stupid people at sapphire forgot that chips do get hot when electricity runs through them) I wish i had a portal gun so i can set up a few portals over at sapphire and slap each of them with the heatsink as they walk by but when the hardware catches up I will upgrade hard drives need to get faster, because the UI is bloated with random visuals even on classic, theres more to load, while the cpu and memory and other hardware has improved, the speed of hard drives have only improved slightly compared to how much other hardware have improved. so vista and windows 7 feels sluggish because things are not as instant as with xp

the problem with this service is ping times internet connection required at all times and it has to be fast. most public wifi places will block the ports or be too slow if each user doesn't have a dedicated server (virtual servers) then if a user runs a buggy game and it sends the vm into one of those crashes where the games exe file takes up 100% cpu usage, then it will cause problems for all other users on the server if the servers have a outage, then your games wont work since the games are on their servers, you wont be able to install mods, run cheats that require to edit the icon or a cfg file to enable developer mode you don't own the games so you can be paying their service fee for months then they go out of business and you lost all of that money which could be used to just buy the games games don't come out often enough to allow for a monthly fee if they want their service to be better they need to add console games so high monthly fees, very limited control over the game, cant play a game while downloading or doing other things, cant use it on public networks that may not forward the ports, high bandwidth requirements, more of a hassle than the current DRM many years back there used to be a service that did a good job streaming games and they did it for free it was called StreamTheory while the cpu load wasn't done by them, you could start playing a 600MB game demo with you only having to download like 50MB, it loaded the game 1 area at a time, it was useful in the slow DSL days, 768k/184 if you head to a area thats not fully downloaded yet, it wouldn't let you walk in there, it did things in a way so you wouldn't be running away from something and hit a loading wall but they dies out quickly due to then needing to alter the games in a way that would allow streaming like this

lol

they don't really send any important info anyway, probably just random pictures of foxes or porn videos

you may still have to charge it when the power comes back on anyway how much uptime do you get from that UPS?

With current college pricing, you have to be bill gates just to afford it the current educational system is outdated and inefficient. From elementary school all the way up to college, students are required to take classes that have nothing to do what they want to do in life and will often never again be used by them later on in life. Because of this you wind up with situations where you can have a student at extremely gifted and science and wants to become a doctor, but failed to graduate because he or she was not gifted enough in art class. When was the last time you've seen this happen? (patient: hello doctor, I think my leg is broken. Doctor: no problem, I will draw you a picture of a cat that will fix your liking no time) and other than these problems, the government is usually needs to fix the extortion problem in colleges. A college is a business people made colleges to make money but it becomes detrimental to society when colleges are properly regulated It is very difficult to make a decent living if you do not have a college education. that evil business people running the colleges know this and they take advantage of the situation by extracting as much money as possible from students by making them take useless classes that they don't need in life. in college more than 65% of the classes you take nothing to do with your major subject or with what you want to do in life but the college will not allow you to graduate unless we take those classes Because of the little to no government regulation and the fact that these businesses have nearly total control of the future of the people living in this country, the business people running the colleges are able to hold everyone's future ransom and this guy is this despicable activity by using names such as general education requirements And in other cases, senseless prerequisites like students not being able to complete computer science unless they have taken a minimum of History 201 what does Christopher Columbus have to do with java and C++? to complete your major and graduate, you will have taken 50-60 credits in your major subjects and 55-70 credits in so-called "general education requirements" 90% of what you learn in the general education, you will never use in life the more useless requirements people add to the educational system, the more chances students have to fail and when they fail it is often at something they don't want to do in life and will never see again

yep music is a business but businesses have to be responsible for their actions, they take advantage of consumers by screwing them over and shielding them from competitors music and when the consumers refuse to accept it they expect the government to empower their iron fist they have to learn their limits
