Come on Faith +1.......do you have kids bro? Imagine that someone on the internet gave your son/daughters the tools needed to commit a crime, one that could damage his/her chances at getting into a college or receiving financial aid? Would you appreciate it? Would you still feel the same way as your posts suggests? Have any of you thought that perhaps this protected drive is where teachers store tests and keep grade sheets? I'm not accusing scimech of cheating or altering his grades but just trying to get you guys to think a little. I know some of you have kids, would you still feel the same about giving this information if it was used against you or your kids? Maybe you guys are all uber-1337 and above being hacked.... I know I'll get a little flamage for this post but I don't care. I am just a big boy scout I guess. You know...the only thing that has stuck with me from my parochial school days is the Golden Rule. Oh and Faith +1......I don't speed and I do my best not to break any laws. Oh and I use the word criminal in the same manner that lawyers do...to differeniate between civil and criminal things. Anything you do that is illegal is criminal. Just thought I would clarify since someone posted that they didn't know tresspassing was a criminal offense. I hope scimech takes Vakko's advice and just asks the sysadmin why the drive is restricted. It may be easier to beg forgiveness rather than ask permission today, but what about tomorrow?

I read both of their posts concerning their departure from the show. They both said their reasons for leaving were a difference in business decisions. I believe Harrison said that his coursework and job were taking over his free time as well. Neither one of them said there was drama involved and both say that they are still great friends with Wes and Darren. So Ilya flames Darren and Wess and then Darren flames Ilya. You come along and flame them both and then claim you're a non-combatant in this. I'm sorry....is that righteous flamage you are smiting with? Or is it just self-righteous? Foxx wrote: Don't take this as a personal attack? Are you Ilya's dad or something?

There are classes and levels to misdeanors and felonies as well Cooper. It is the same set-up as murder charges with degrees expressing different levels such as planning versus spur of the moment. My sate and county each have a section in their legislature about Trepsassing. It is divided up into sub-sections as Felony Tresspassing and Misdemeanor Tresspassing. As of Jan. 1, 2006 there are also sections involving electronic counter-measures.

With hardware like that, who wouldn't want to date her?

You said that B&E is when you break into somewher and steal something. I'm saying that B&E is when you forcibly enter a locked or restricted area. The intent to steal something is irrelevant to B&E. You could enter to leave something instead of take something or break stuff. Just because you won't get caught doesn't make it a good idea either. It's funny that people are up in arms over privacy issues but then go around telling impressionable youth that its a good idea to invade the pricacy of another as long as you don't get caught. And tresspassing is a criminal offense. I believe it is a misdemeanor in some cases and a felony in others. I believe its a misdemeanor when you do something like "cut across Old Man Johnson's back forty to get to school faster" and hacking an electronic door and entering a restricted room in a government facility is a felony.

Yeah, the skits for Hak.5 are great. So are Alli and the evil server still dating?

Arizona Criminal Code 13-3102 says that you can not walk the streets with a gun as you so brazenly profess. In fact, unless you are in an unpopulated (an area with no municipal services) area or conscripted into tempory service by either the National Guard, Military or local law agency, you can not open;y carry a firearm. As for an officer having the right to enter into property (ie. walk around your yard, look into your windows, walk into your home through an open door, not mistaken for unlocked but actually physically open) they are within their rights as peace officers to do so. A search warrant is used only when a physical object is to be removed from the person or home/office/warehouse etc. Such physical items are admissible in Arizona courts as evidence in criminal matters. The use of eavesdropping equipment is not covered in a search warrant. The definition and methods of procurring a search warrant are outlined in Title 13 Article 8 of your state's codes. Different passges of Title 13 legislature also indicate that a peace officer has the ability to move freely among any structure in a community as long as he can justify his actions as in the best interests of said community. If his actions are found to be unjustified then it is known as a Error of Good Faith and as far as I can tell is pretty much a slap on the wrist for the officer. I'm done "debating" with you. I have my facts. Your initial post and its rebuttal has derailed the purpose of the thread. Before your post I believe we were discussing the probability of a similar raid happening in the US. I also believe the general concensus was that what happened sucks but will not happen in the US at least for some time. It was a great article and a good cautionary tail. :D It's also nice to have multi-lingual members to translate for us. I can handle the Spanish and Latin articles but I have no clue about the Germanic languages, with the exception of English of course.

Just the fact that you are attempting to bypass security measures by guessing at the code is an infraction of penal codes in some places. Breaking and entering is simply when you enter an enclosed area through some locked portal. Having the intent to take something is irrelevant. Trepassing mostly pertains to open spaces such as private land property.

You must be slow or something Faith...I wrote and you quoted that regardless of an illegal search you can't point a gun at or brandish a melee type weapon at a law enforcement officer. I don't think you understand what illegal search and seizure means. An officer can walk around you property and enter your home if the door is open. He can not however use anything he finds in enclosed areas such as cupboards, boxes, etcetera as evidence against you in a criminal case. The point of the amendment is to protect the people from officers using false pretense to satisfy curiosity or unfounded suspsicion. As for strutting around like some prize cock with your gun.....well, you take the safety of yourself and your family in your own hands. Officers of your local law enforcement agency have some tight restrictions regarding the use of their firearms but federal agents don't really and with the Patriot Act and other Home Lan security programs things are even looser in some areas. Only a few states in our union have self-defense laws that will leave you with any legal recourse in criminal matters should you use deadly force. Instead of toting around your guns, you should try non-lethal forms of protection. As for going down with a fight.....talk is cheap!

Private school or public? If its public then you are subject to the lawsof your state. Schools in California are very strict about illegal use of state electronics.

Before you go around screwing with stuff you are not allowed to use, look up your University's rules and punishments surrounding the type of stuff you are planning to do. At my school, what you are proposing is called a techno-crime and is punishable by exspulsion. The best case scenario is that you will lose all computer privileges. If you are computer science major or digital media major, losing computer privileges is like being exspelled anyway.

I think you missed the point Faith.....if they are putting chips in our heads that pretty much means we have no civil rights so warrants wouldn't exactly stop cops anymore. Illegal search or not, you can never point a gun or brandish a weapon to an officer of the law.

I don't think it would be for serviing food without a license but more for the trading of illegal foods or foods procurred illegally. :? Drop the h'ourderve grandma and put your hands in the air!!!!! We are confiscating these crab cakes and cucumber sandwiches ladies!!!!

1-900 number? Get some woman with a silky voice to read your quarterly reports to you. OMG...geek-gasm!!!! The idea is mine and if anyone uses I will hunt you down and sent you to Belgium to be tried in correctional court!!! :twisted:

Female-friendly? Pffft!!!!! They won't be able to hear the fan anyway over the massive THX system any self-respecting man would have. :P They should be more worried that the speakers will blow the clothes off of them.

Well, there is a difference Cooper in going out to eBay and buying a suped up Xbox and using one you got as a gift a few years back. he didn't say that their box had some big drive in it so really the chip is like 30 bucks, so the total cost is roughly 30 bucks for the project. it seems everyone and their mother has an old Xbox these days. I these Xboxes will fall into the same category as opinions and butt-holes. Everyone will have one. I don't remember The Glitch doing a segment like that. I do remember as software mod segment though. Is that what you are referring to? I like the Poor Boys' approach. The segment done on Systm was great but the cost of the project was 300-500 dollars depending on the components. Putting together a Myth box is my preferred way to do this but sometimes a $30 fix is just too good to pass up. :D

I enjoyed the episode DarkSenay. When are future releases scheduled to come out?

Is the Xbox in the pic yours Metatron? It looks great. What does the LCD screen show? How about some tech specs on it? I put an Xecuter 2.6 lite chip in mine. The DVD drive actually fell apart which prompted the mod. Because I have to put a regular DVD drive in it, I am now modifying the case to make room for the drive. I plan on putting a 120GB drive in there as well. I was toying with a LCD screen as well but wasn't sure if it was needed.

It won't happen in the US....not until they start putting chips in our heads to track us. Even if the desire existed, there isn't the man-power to pull off a raid. There are LAN parties going on all the time in my town. The local law would have to pull a lot of cops off the street to perform a raid and of course the tax-payers would have a fit. My town has way more important things to worry about than file-sharing. You are more likely to have the RIAA bust through your bust than to have the cops. Just be careful not to say anything bad about the government or you might see Home Lan security jumping through your window.

Dude....we get it!!! You don't like Pure Pwnage. That doesn't mean you need to post and tell us how lame you think we are. Anyway, yeah the micro battle in episode 9 was kinda wierd. I'm thinking they were looking for some wayto explain Dave leaving and thought that this might tie him to the show, or Kyle was just trying to be artistic or something. The still of Jeremy running out of his mom's house with his computer is hilarious. I still chuckle every time I see it. I'm really looking forward to ep. 11.

I just read about the trailer park boys. Pure Pwnage has nothing to do with the stuff the Trailer Park Boys do. It doesn't even have anything to do with computers. Saying that show did it better than Pure Pwnage begs the question, what did they both do that is the same and how do you think TPB did it better? Dude...its like saying South Park is a much better super-hero cartoon than Tom & Jerry. :?

Nice entry Darrin....very subtle indeed.

Yeah the jobs... Your pony has died from not being pretty enough!!!!!!

This episode was awesome. I am wondering what the relationship between Tagi and Jeremy is in real life. That kiss looked like it was all Jeremy :twisted: . The e-mails segment was pretty funny as well but the best part was the behind-the-scenes stuff. I bought one of those shirts. It didn't smell wierd when I got it but now I'm having second thoughts. You can lead a n00b to water but you can't leik give him skillz and stuff.

I was listening to a local radio station today and they had an interesting news story. In England, there is a boy who was granted special dispensation to wear body armor to school. Apparently he had an argument with a fellow student(s) over a girl. The boy was involved in fight with said students. His friends had similar arguments with the same students and were attacked. One boy received a knife wound and was taken to the hospital. Now this boy went to the teachers and asked for the right to wear stab-proof vests underneath his uniform. There is also a trend reported by dealers of armor and weapons in England showing that purchases of protective armor has risen like 30% in recent months with children as young as 10-years-old purchasing protective garments. This is a very disturbing trend. Talking amongst my friends we are all very unhappy with the government, both Republican and Democratic, and their policies. I think there is unrest brewing everywhere in English-speaking countries. I know I have my guns, armor, and supplies stock-piled in preparation for the Rapture, but I'm a follower of the teachings of Sean Kennedy. Myself, and those like me, will be leading the sane to safety because we are the ones who know what the fuck is going on and what to do. :twisted:
