    It takes an Englishman to do this... and get caught!

    in Everything Else

    Its Gary Mckinnon. He has been in the news for the past few weeks. He lost his case and his appeal to extradition to America. Its obvious they are just going to make an example of him.

    Its stupid that the US can just extradite anyone they want from the UK. For once the conservative party are coming in handy with their Labour bashing. They are on Gary's side and blaming Gordon Brown and the Home Secretary which is getting it in the media.

    My opinion on hak5

    in Everything Else

    Ive also been following since Haxor flakes and comical sketches and I have to agree with you.

    I feel in the older episodes, episodes went on the assumption that you had a little bit of prior knowledge (even just a little bit) so that they could dive right in to something cool. Now they are going on the basis that viewers don't know anything about their chosen subject and have to start from the ground up.

    P.S. Why would anyone flame you for an opinion that is reasonable? If you came on going "h4r h4r, im teh l33t nd hak5 pure suks!" im sure that may have been flamed.

    Inject Ads into hotpsots

    in Applications & Coding

    Seems interesting but I have a point to make about the adverts.

    Most advert providers such as Google Adsense forbids injecting or overlaying adverts on proxified pages so you cannot insert google ads or risk suspension of your account and loss of your money. Check out some of the current web proxies (the get around work filter ones) and notice none of them have google adverts on their proxy pages. Their rule on proxies would apply to you as it is essentially what your doing.

    Ahhh tomcat, how I hate thea. Ive tried to play with tomcat once, got frustrated, went to lighttpd instead, was so much better.

    Also thanks for sharing the vsphere migration tool, I migrated some boxes to Virtual machines by taking them offline, and making disk images with a ubuntu live cd.

    Have you ever pirated anything?

    in Everything Else

    Companies are just not viewing the situation in the modern world. People want their media wherever and whenever they like, beit on a computer at home, a computer at work, an name-brand white media player etc. People also want to get their media easily and quickly. At the moment, I think the easiest, quickest and most convenient way to get media like music and videos is through piracy.

    My Comparison of first time Downloading a track from the internet:

    Limewire: Download > Install > Search > Download Track > Listen

    BitTorrent: Download Client > Install Client > Search > Download Torrent File > Download Track > Listen

    iTunes: Download > Install > Search > Create iTunes Account > Verify Email Address > Enter Credit Card Info > Accept T&C > Download Track > Listen

    Id say thats a typical first song download. Which one is Easier? Which one is a new person to online music going to choose? My bet would be limewire for people who want a few songs and BitTorrent for people who are looking for albumns.

    P.S. In no way is this account associated with the MPAA or RIAA and is not monitoring your interweb usage *shifts eyes* :P

    I am on the line of piracy. I pay for things, and I pirate things. If what I want is a fair price, I will pay for it. But it is way too expensive (adobe anyone?) I will most likely pirate it.

    P.S. This is not me trying to explain why I pirate things, its just my views on the piracy situation.

    Ways to Sell wifi

    in Community Projects

    Posted

    You might be able to get away with some of the higher end consumer wifi equipment.

    There are many realtively inexpensive software packages available for internet cafe's that could suit your purpose but you would need to scrutenise the reliability of them to avoid complaints and downtime.

    What defines a PC?

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    I have to agree with the term "Personal Computer" too.

    More recently the line for PC has been even further blurred by Apple and Microsoft. Apples "Im a Mac, Im a PC" campaign and Microsofts "Im a PC" campaign.

    I use a mac but still refer to it as my PC. I call my Linux box a PC. I call my Windows box a PC. I use it and want it to continue as a generic term for "a box that you compute with".

    Domain Registrar

    It depends what you mean "by your choosing". If you mean like let you choose from many different TLD's like .com, .net, .org etc then there are many registrars which let you do this such as GoDaddy.

    If you mean like create your own, this cannot be done at the moment, but as said before there was something being discussed about this but the status on it is unknown. If it does get passed I doubt it will be cheap so get ready to re-mortgage your house :P

    Well... this episode sucked. Sorry, but TC & hidden volumes are old news, and all you did was press next-next-next in a wizard.

    + 1

    It was rather like explaining to someone how to operate a light switch, pretty much all information was available on the wizard or the site which it provided links to on the wizard. Sorry :(

    Cool Episode.

    Id just like to point out that some people who want to encrypt their system will have to re-partition/reorganise their partitions as TrueCrypt requires 32KB of space at the start of the disk. This can easily be done using most partitioning software packages (window setup, gparted, acronis etc).
