Just providing the necessary warning. I don't want anyone to get into trouble for being curious about user access, security and such. My advice, set up your own network at home and perform your own testing there. That's the best way to learn how to do anything... and it's legal.

Tested and worked for me. Very nice work Moonlit

NEVER underestimate anyone of authority, especially those who are in charge of your education. Don't play around with anything unless you have the permission to do so. Lets say you managed to raise your user rights and an admin happened to noticed. He'll do some research and easily find out who it was and disicipline will occur. You'll probably be kicked off the computers for the entire semester, if the not the year and if the school board deems your breech a real security threat, they could exell you. I would do absolutly nothing. But, that's just me brushing off the dust from my grey hat to brighten up the color a bit. :roll:

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing while reading the article. AMD ftw in my mind.

It was alright, certainly what I expected from Kevin and Dan. The 360 hack was interesting and the theme park was a great idea, but morally wrong to boot. (Morals? What are those? :twisted:). Oh well, they only did it because of all the wannabe's on the thebroken forums were begging for them to produce another ep. Maybe they'll continue and actually produce some decent content in the future. I shouldn't be too harsh though. It was the broken that got me looking for more hacking-orientated iptv shows online and thus found the best of them all, Hak.5.

You laugh, I had a chemistry teacher back in HS that did use one of those to change his powerpoint slides for him. He managed to mod the bird so that the water traveling path was a bit longer and thus took longer for the bird to swing. He had it to an approximent 20 sec/rotation. Perfect timing for a PP lecture. Needless to day, the man was a lazy genius.

I too, am in the market for another laptop at the moment. So far I've been watching ebay because I'm only looking for a beater laptop to throw debian on and take to class, roadtrips, etc. So far, 1.4 ghz, 256mb ram with a 20-40 gb hdd is fetching around 220 bucks (US). Just depends on the brand.

Or do you? Imagine fish swimming around your cpu, an eel latched to your ram and a starfish chilling with your videocard. Sounds like a cool idea to me.

Puppy Linux

Dl-ed it just now but can't watch until I get done with classes today. Hopefully it was at least worth my bandwidth.

That is pretty damn cool.

I just ditched Zone Alarm (to many utorrent/zone alarm not liking eachother problems) and got Comodo. I must say, I really like the program, best of all it's free. Its does have a xp-fisher price look to it but in terms of functionality, it performs quite well. Rates very well on the memory-leak test and uses very few resources. In all, it's my new favorite firewall to date (of about 10 or so).

He wasn't actually asking which one was bigger per se. But what he wanted to know was what does it mean when the specs say, "compatible with <whatever>". As far as I know, they mean the outer width of the tubing. Because hosing for water coolers (well, anything really) is stretched over an outlet on a pump, having a tube with an inner diameter of 3/8 with an outlet of 3/8 wouldn't be air-tight, thus water spillage. But a 3/8" (inner dia.) hose with a 7/16" outlet would be air-tight. However, I could be wrong (about what they consider the diameter of compatible hosing).

80 cores just seems ridiculous at the moment. Why develop silicon technology so far and not start developing a new medium of data crunching that will out perform silicon like night and day? Like VaKo said, when’s something else that’s still on paper, yet to be built, going to be débuted for consumers in the future?

Happen to look at your logs to see where it came from? I'm willing to bet that you'll be getting a lot more malicious software than porn if you did such a thing. Hm, sounds like an experiment!

Haha. That may work as well. But I do have the feeling that the board of directors for the uni wouldn't go for something like this. Also, they have more important things to figure out at the moment. The uni's president is about to have his head taken off by all of the seniors because they were screwed out of a tutition deal that they were supposed to be apart of (and were even promised that they would be). Hearing about protien folding is nowhere near their interests at this point in time. I'm liking Sparda's idea at the moment, just take over the place and go nuts. :twisted:

I was considering the idea of setting up a meeting with the head of technology for my uni and discuss the late night lab useage of the school's computers as most of which hold 100+ comps per lab and at night (between 1 and 6am), only around five per lab are being used while the rest just sit there running. I figured my approach would be setting up a <announcers voice> "CMU Protein Folding Team" where the school is helping save future generations by donating cpu cycles for the good of mankind. </anouncers voice>. Only reason why I never got to it was due to the fact that the head of tech is a power-driven duchebag and he would never trust the opinion/ideas of a student. Even if it potiently could make him a small hero of sorts for doing his part to cure diseases. Even to only have 1/3 of the labs on campus folding, that's around 600 computers, all of which have P4s or better. Imagine the computing power to cluster all of those puppies.

I'm guessing it's either from Lewis Black or Fight Club. +1 to mad props I love Lewis Black The man's a political genius. I'd vote for him any day.

isn't the video quility on cell phones poor? Having a 1 in screen can't be any good. Can't imagine it being much worse than a video ipod.

Havn't we all.

I'm curious as to see how you managed to obtain one of those, or are you really a technician?

Haha, I knew I wasn't the only one who's done that. And it is interesting to find other items down there as well. Lot's of laundry money, straw wrappers and like you said, pens.

Ok, first thing you need to do is contact all of the possible places in which you could have lost it. Don't worry about being 'incriminated' for anything right now because the average joe wouldn't know airsnort from myspace. Call everywhere that you went and let them know that you lost your flash drive and the contents of which are very important, talk with a manager/ someone in charge and leave your basic contact info just in case it turns up. Next you need to check all of your personal effects. I've lost my flash drive hundreds of times and in the end it was just sitting under the driver seat of my car most of the time. If you cannot find it in your room/house/car/backpack/etc, retrace your steps through the whole day in which you lost it and look everywhere, high and low. You'd be suprised where it could be. Good luck.

I'm guessing it's either from Lewis Black or Fight Club.

True, and I'm sure the person who dugg it didn't notice that either. Still, they were rather amusing.
