Aupajo Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hi guys, I know I haven't posted here in a long time, been really busy this year with school. I just want to say that last Wednesday I taught my first class, the Class of 1337, at my school. In part, it was an idea sparked partly by Hak.5, and so the first lesson was about IPTV. It was so sweet! I showed some Pure Pwnage, some Broken, some From the Shadows and of course Hak.5 (the PSP hack in ep 9, to be specific). I just wanted to say, thanks for making such a great show - some of what you do is now being passed down in my class. You guys rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 That is awesome. We've kept this in mind with season two and will no longer be drinking on camera (but trust me there's plenty off camera). That way it's more viable as educational videos.

RobotChild Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 In my opinion the lack of drinking on camera, and more educational step, is a little bit of reassurance that Hak.5 wont go down the drain like Attack of the Show! Which started out as The Screen Savers, (Awesome show, by the way) than G4 bought Tech TV and turned that into Attack of the Show! Which was good at first, though it had drifted from to tech to more video-games. After the departure of Brendan Moran and Sarah Lane then show went to hell. No disscussions on tech, a few rare segments on video games, and alot "pop culture" subjects. Seriously, do we need an "In your pants" segment? Oh well, still getting "Call for Help" up in here in Canada. Along with a few other awesome tech shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brokenman Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 wish we had a school as open to such classes as that. Or maybe even some teachers like that. Cool to see some places opening up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Packet overflow, in my oppinion, is the single funniest thing Hak5 has ever done. That being said, I'm glad to see you guys are taking steps in the right direction.

In September i'll be in a geek-cursus : "communicating systems engineering". I hope i'll find some hacky tricks and send it ther ;) . hak.5 forums also improve my english skills, because i took around 5minutes to write 2 lines, i'm ashamed :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonlit Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I'd love to learn Spanish properly... I have a good knowledge of the basics (kinda) but I'd like a larger Spanish vocab... I'd also like to learn Japanese but I found that's quite hard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I'd love to learn a language where it's very easy to say things and explain things. I guess thats either Chines or Japanes, and both a very difficult to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I believe Chinese is harder then Japanese though... Personally though I prefer Japanese... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrison Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Having a girlfriend that speaks Mandarin is a reason to learn Chinese. Makes it easier too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learning a langauge is always easier when you have someone who you can talk to in that language on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
