Which server(s) did they rm? I thought they left the servers alone aside from the defacements.

Am I the only one who isn't pissed off by this? Yes, they hacked hak5, who cares? If anything I would give them props for pulling off a few pretty nice hacks and they didn't cause anyone real damage. It's pretty ironic to me how everyone is condemning them for doing what we all enjoy doing, just hacking and exploring.

Starting with season 4, I started hating the show. I still usually watch most of the episodes though.... why I do I'm not exactly sure. Imo, the show has lost all of its 'technolust'... People with technolust like to tinker, explore for themselves, and get bored to shit when they get walked through creating a TC volume. I miss the hardware mods, stuff like the custom guitar hero guitar was pure awesomeness. The show no longer pertains to people with real technolust, only to people who think they do but actually don't. Tbh, the show sucks man.

25mbps always vs 6mbps in a good spot... not happenning any time soon.

flux is a trillion times better then gnome and kde ;)
OB is even better ^_^

conky is a must-have but that's about it...

Uhm... there is no point for BT to move to x64 really, and gnome you can install yourself pretty easily.

battle net on starcraft seems to throw a fit under wine for me but, hey it is emulation.
It's because of the custom protocol that BNET uses, wine hasn't been coded to handle it properly.

You want me to pay to p2p? Absolutely ridiculous. I'd pay to have the content available to me on a gigabit pipe so that I could download super fast, but asking me to pay for torrents is absolutely ridiculous.

well since were on the subject, let me ask you this (for personal techs, not business techs)
Do you let visual interpretation scale back the price (i.e. pretty hot chick = less/free repair)?
...
You DAMN SURE don't act like an ass to a computer tech (unless your in I.T. which is a whole diff. story altogether)
I've only fixed a cute guy's comp once and unlucky for him, I was literally broke at the time and couldn't afford any discounts.

I agree... You piss me off / are an asshole to me while I'm working on your PC, you'll more than likely be getting it back with some 'performance tweaks'.

Friends & Family - $20 flat rate, that's all it will cost them no matter the project.
Friends & Family of Friends & Family - $20/hr.
Random People that I barely know - $30/hr.
I do my work in the Seattle area, but I don't get a lot of work because most people don't trust a 17 year old xD

Actually it is, your making a conscious choice that you shouldn't pay for something because you don't want to. This is something I really hate about the P2P scene these days, its not theft, its some kinda social movement that is liberating the information. If you download a movie, watch it and enjoy it, your profiting from the experience someone else put hard work into creating. Why can't you just admit that you just don't want to pay for something?
I agree, it's pretty annoying to me when people act as if what they're doing isn't stealing. I personally try before I buy in the case of music because I really like supporting muscicians since music is a huge part of my life, but seeing as I don't have a steady income I can't afford to drop $10 or $15 on an album when I don't even know if I'm going to enjoy it; however when it comes to anime, movies, TV, software, I usually don't pay for it because the price for the crap is outrageous and it doesn't have nearly as big of an impact on my life. I realize it's stealing, and tbh I don't care, especially in the case of movies where they always clear the price of what it cost them to make the movie by millions on the first weekend in the theatres alone, they don't need my money paying for the overpriced DVDs/Bluray Discs.

The only reason I can think of as to why the file isn't found in the repos is because your local package list is outdated so when it tries to grab the old file off of the servers, you get a 404.
-
Use -Syu to do a full system upgrade, this way any incompatable packages will be updated. Then use -S to install things. If you use -Sy it will upgrade your list of packages, and then install the newest of the packages which sometimes creates incompatabilites between certain packages. You should really read up on all of the pacman options so you know what you're doing and you don't break things by throwing random commands at it. And when you have problems, posting the error explicitly helps a lot ;p

why can they improve linux to have exe files where instead of doing 15 commands and having it mess up on 1 of the steps, why cant they have a exe file instead where the user only has to figure out how to click on the next button
...
GTFO. I honestly don't care if that offends anyone or not, I hate ignorance like this. Anyways, the reason it's probably not installing is probably because you are missing a dependancy or more...

Microsoft are trying and its working tbh, IE8 is a solid browser and it is far better than firefox out the box.
/me dodges hail of bricks
Just curious, how so? I've never seen any advantages to IE in any version.

unetbootin
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
that is exactly what this program does. Don't worry about selecting a distro, just select the iso file and the drive you want to put it on. press start. get yourself a 'Mountain Dew Gamer Fuel', reboot and away you go.
This. unetbootin works with any linux ISO.

Episode 5x20
in Hak5
One thing Truecrypt is not bullet proof. I have taken encrypted drives and mounted them in another system and used an open source forensic tool to decrypt them. I had to do this for a research paper my Forensics class. Although it sounds easy the software it self is not user friendly.In any case if anyone has physical access to your Portable (Notebook) they own your information.
Must've had a bad password since the only way I know of breaking TC is by bruteforcing the password.

Aside from not liking IE, I liked the ads quite a bit. Whoever their new marketing team is is doing their jobs quite well.

@pritchardo92: Change to urxvt for your terminal and zsh as your command shell, It will make your command-line experience so much better ^_^

@Machstorm: I'm not sure exactly, waaaay back when my mom had the only computer in the house she decided to put Norton on it and when it started its scan at 1AM my starcraft went to shit ): The last encounter I had with it was taking it (along with the other bloatware that came with my brother's new lappy) off his laptop about a year ago. It did NOT want to go away nicely, there was one process that I had to manually hunt down to get rid of after running the uninstallers since Symantec can't even create one uninstaller that gets rid of everything. And the detection rate is compared to the other ones on things like VirusTotal; on the online scans of stuff Norton fails to detect a lot more often than other things on serious threats and on PUPs it almost always threw the red flag saying it's a serious threat which is very annoying to me.

How? I have had no issue with Norton ever since I started back in 2004. Then Again I do know more about Norton than most people due to the nature of my profession. I just don't see how you can call it "most failure of a pay-for antivirus" although one should note that when most users install Norton (or instert Anti Virus name here) they due tend to click past the install window that list the incompatible software and most don't have the knowledge on how to work around subjects such as adding exceptions.
The only reason why people get that angry at software is because they did something with it that they did not understand or were not supposed to or They ignored the install software installation screen that takes about two miles to scroll down to view known issues and compatibility report.
...
Norton has a lower detection rate than almost any other pay-for antivirus out there and on top of that, it's also a resource hog (although it HAS gotten better about this). On top of that, if you've ever tried to uninstall Norton, you'll know that it likes to stick around even after it supposedly has been uninstalled. I may be a bit biased since I just can't stand antiviruses in general since they delete the code that I wrote (is it so wrong to hook an API?) and I don't get viruses anyways.
