  1. im starting a long project in which i will be working with code for hours at a time. but ive lost all my old music files that i would play while working and while i've started building a playlist it will get old FAST as its only 7 songs long right now.

    basically i need music. trance, house, techno, D&B. preferably free since im kinda broke right now and dont want to pirate a dozen single files. im going through acid planet and newgrounds as it is combing for good stuff but im wanting a playlist of at least 50 songs. so i dont get the loop over and over(even with shuffle it gets too predictable)

    i work a lot better when i have some good electronica to drown it out. so far ive got a couple of songs by dragor(Acid planet), some daft punk, and a couple of newgrounds songs.

    can anyone suggest a place i could download some good electronica to work to?

  2. well, yeah, that's a given; i just meant if you are to leave it going what it saves will likely be something i at worst would tolerate or at best really like. So, can't go wrong.

    i see your point :) thanks for the response

  3. 64kbs aacplus using the online flash player

    128kbs ds mp3 using my standalone player

    192kbs ds mp3 if you have pandora one (using either player)

    For one thing, the music you get on pandora is very likely to be palatable (as opposed to downloading random music and hoping it's good). That's the big thing for me

    yeah but you could also listen to pandora and give the songs the ratings you like (up or down) and once your station is set just mark songs as they come up.

    but im an audiophile. flac or 320kbs is all i can stand. i take less for necessity but it bugs me

  4. first i gotta say the comic was perfect.

    next

    in my experience the iphone is designed as a general smart phone for people from all walks of life. the positive effect is that its easy to use and good at what it does. the bad side is that it is limited compared to say a computer.

    where droid is but 1 phone in a family running on the same operating system. the best and most up to date of which so far is the google nexus one. next would be the droid (based on the order of updating). and then it continues out into the other models.

    android is based on linux and as such is very very powerful. you can write apps easily with the SDK and a little java knowledge. or you can download the ASE(android scripting environment) and write in python or perl (more than those as well).

    android has its quirks. im sure the iphone does as well. but for the most part i see the same battle between the 2 that i see between gamers. one side is casual(iphone). the other is hardcore(droid). and for the most part if your not really tech savvy then iphone may be the phone since it has far more commercial apps from larger companies. but chances are if you come to this forum and watch the show that youll want the droid.

    its more open ended and powerful and the app store adds apps constantly (i check the "latest additions" every day and it takes about 45 minutes just scrolling a list). not to mention it will probably be covered in the show more often as it seems to be more hack friendly.

    i chose the droid for myself. and im damn glad i did.

  5. ive been wondering for a while but never bothered to ask.

    while pandora is an amazing service and i use it daily ,both on my computer and with my droid, but if your going to download music illegally aren't there more efficient ways?

    and whats the general quality of the resulting files anyway? lol.

    just out of curiosity

  6. I've got a Veeam Backup Server running win server 2008 r2 with Veeam backup and replication.

    Currently backups are saved to local disk on that machine. I'd like to have some physical media to carry off site. Currently the Executives want me to do TAPE backups but that solution for a SAS card and tape loader is going to be around $7k for a G2 LTO4 Ultr 1760 with 8 tapes, cleaning cart etc. I'm thinking a SAS card on my Dell T610 connected to some SAS back plane with SAS drives would be cheaper and faster. I just feel tapes are an archaic way to do backup for physical carry off site.

    tape deteriorates does it not? If im correct then i would go with the drives

  7. What about middle-aged latecomers to the computer world? Like me? :rolleyes:

    Anyone who left school when I did [1992] missed out on computer education big time. 95% of people finishing high school did not know how to cut and paste in the early 90s. The teaching philosophy of computers in that era was "computer equals typewriter". It was pathetic. So bear in mind that many people like me have to learn computers in spite of a school education so bad that I may as well have used cardboard boxes with painted buttons. Worse still, school never mentioned the internet. Computer technology came to an absolute halt in 1992, never to get better. I first heard of the internet in 1992 and first used it in 1999 - seven years after leaving school.

    ive noticed a running thing with people from that particular age group that dont seem to understand.

    they wouldnt have any problem understanding if they would try. they look at whats in front of them and give up before they start. rather than read everthing, break it down, and try to understand or research (by research i meant google) what they dont know.

    this drives me crazy! but at the same time cements my position as the IT guy.

    in all honesty technology is very simple (as long as you have the internet) becasue you can read and understand it logically. thanks to the internet you can research anything you dont know in a very short time.

    in essence all it takes to UNDERSTAND technology is to research and try.

    however do not confuse my meaning. understanding technology and being a hacker is 2 different things. the former requires you to simply read the research of others. while the latter requires you to adapt, learn, push forward without knowing for sure whats going to happen.

    understanding technology allows you to use it

    being a hacker allows you to create and advance it

  8. Network Discovery is pretty neat. Wardrive is a must. EStrongs File Explorer. WIFI Analyzer is pretty sweet. Android Terminal Emulator works really well. Google Sky Map always gets oohs and ahhs. Everything I've listed so far is free. The only app I've found I needed to pay for so far is Documents to go. Gotta have Office document support.... Stupid job getting in the way of all my fun. :angry:

    i dont wardrive often lol. but i got estrongs file exlorer and i love it XD even extracts zip files.

    XD im gonna wait till theres an office program that is free

    and another program to get is pdanet. i havent rooted my droid because i dont wanna risk bricking it so im waiting for a more effective way of getting access. BUT i found pdanet which is a free prog that is effective in tethering my droid to my laptop via usb. obviously it works because thats how im posting this XD

    it was free and works fine. on irc as well

  9. I've got an old outdated laptop and I believe there's a use for any old computer.

    In this case I wanna use it as a file server for my Droid. I have an FTP client app so all I need to do is setup the server.

    What I want is a windows FTP server setup on the old laptop. Its just a remote fileserver for my Droid so the simpler the better. Preferably a command line based program so I can automate it easily with batch

  10. http://see.stanford.edu/see/courseinfo.asp...aa-866adcae1111

    thats how i learned. what better way than to "sit in" on an entire stanford java programming class

    stanford engineering everywhere is stanford's way of spreading knowledge. they chose a few select classes and recorded every lecture(on video) and published all the assignments. one of which is that link. CS106A programming methodology. the class teaches good programming techniques and the java language. easy to understand. check it out

  11. But everyone has to start some where. I just want to provide a safe hacking environment for kids so that they can have a good time, learn a very profitable and valuable skill, and most of all mature from this experience.

    have you ever heard of hackits.de? it was a hacking game site that went down. you registered an account and it had tasks for you to do which you gained ranks for completing. everything from writing code to decyphering a string of ROT13 text.

    if you can find a more detailed description and get a project like that going again it would be a great place for kids and adults alike to pick up better security practices. but theres always the darkside that it will teach people how to do the black hat stuff as well. so its a fine line between preparing people and arming them. you might wanna aim your age group to around 17+. not saying someone younger couldnt handle it without going blackhat. i know a lot of 12 year olds that can do a lot of shit. its just that in general most dont see the difference and its the majority that needs to be watched lol

  12. i finally got my moto droid and im in love. its so rare that i actually get new technology when its still new that im shaking. this is the first piece of hardware ive gotten within 3 years of its release since i got my gamecube.

    anyway ive been browsing the market for about 2 days now. ive looked through about 1/9 of their apps from what i can tell but its not always reliable.

    i just want to know some app suggestsions

    i currently use "Hi MSN" for my msn client but it has big issues with no real error report. large chunks of convo get lost to both sides and its a complete mess. i need a new msn chat client

    i also use skype and google talk. so apps that include them would be nice but i have well function apps for both already so i really just need to replace himsn with something... more functional.

    and i need a good terminal app.

    free on both of course since im broke. took all i had plus some help to get the phone lol.

    and any other apps you find useful or nice to have lemme know.

    edit:

    and if theres a good app for downloading podcasts (particularly ha5) i could use that as well lol

  13. HELLO ALL!

    I'm actually a college student that just graduated high school my self this past August (8-23-09) and am currently in college. In my spare time I teach and tutor kids in various IT/computer topics. In my many months of doing this (and I love doing this) I've taught middle and high school kids who are very keen and just have a natural knack for this stuff, everything from something as basic as helping them getting their A+ certification to network administration with windows and linux servers, and even helping the occasional would be hacker kid how to do some basic penetration testing (the rightly 'ethical' way.). I love doing this so much that I've invested a great deal of time in buying my kiddo's books, equipment, lab materials, and etc. It's gotten to the point now where I've got enough kids, parents, and teachers who like me and are willing to back me up so that I can get a little informal school/class going on where I can teach kids the basics of IT security and slowly get them into some of the more fun and practical sides of hacking (NOT cracking). I've been looking around to see if there was some kind of program out there that was already doing what it is that I'm trying to start up and do. CEH is way to advanced and dry for kids, plus (sry to those who do have a CEH) after looking at the CEH curriculum, it seems pretty crappy. It almost looks like the author of that course just googled hacking. The best and closest thing that I've been able to find was this free curriculum created and endorsed by ISECOM:

    http://www.hackerhighschool.org/

    It's a very short lesson plan and feels very lacking in a lot of areas, especially the labs. I basically want to use this as a foundation and add more topics, labs, explanations, and etc to make it not only more accurate, but easy and from to learn from.

    So please, to everybody who's interested, please take a moment to look at the lessons (it won't take long, trust me, it'll take like 30 min max.) and post any ideas on what can/should be added, removed, done differently, or any other good suggestive ideas. If anyone has any questions, please just pm me. Thanks in advance guys and lets use this so I can help end the script kiddie madness.

    i looked into hackerhighschool years ago. it was pretty outdated even when it started. even back then it only told me what i already knew. dont get me wrong its a great way for people who havent got any knowledge in security to get a start but theres so much that needs more detail that i cant even begin to list it
