The Tides of War (DUAL POST)

[Dec. 27th, 2006|12:59 am]

[	Tags	\|	war	]
[	mood	\|	anxious	]

As some of you may or may not know a great war is taking place.

The amount of people that is involved is not as important as what the possible outcome could mean.

Hal
Turner is a radio show host of the show The Hal Turner Show.
Apparently this show was rated #1. The topics on Hal's show are usually
about what Illegal Aliens and Minorities are doing to this country as
well as government conspiracies.

A few individuals from 7chan's Insurgency channel participated in a prank calling session with Hal Turner's show.

The
session lead to threats against the "IRC chat room 7chan" and counter
threats from participators stating that his fans would not be able to
have a voice(-v or +m) if they ventured into the IRC chat room.

After
the show Hal Turner reported (on his website) that he received death
threats against his family from the prank callers and decided to post
the telephone numbers on his site at http://www.halturnershow.com(which
points to fbi.gov as of now). Since then he has asked for his fans to
call up the numbers that that cranked his show.

Members of the Raid saw this as attack against Annoniminity and decided to strike back.

They now have detailed information on Hal Turner: http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Hal_Turner

If
7chan and 4chan (http://www.7chan.org and http://www.4chan.org) are
able to bring Hal Turner to some type of justice, I will fear that
7chan/4chan will be the most feared known entity on the internet.

My top 5 of feared known entities on the internet:

1. Google.com -- Because I can search full names and find out where someone lives thanks to a scholorship program.
2. FBI.gov -- Need I say more?
3.
Slashdot.org -- Somewhat harmless. Yet, if your site is apart of a
major article that gets posted prepare to receive a very large amount
of traffic that will bring your site to a halt.
4. 7chan/4chan -- Anonymous members, lots of them.
5. halturnershow.com -- Proclaimed #1 show and the content will make you scream WTF?! HOW DID THIS BECOME A #1 SHOW?!

about #1. I sent a message to the site owner. Hopefully i won't have to call them.

Remember the movie Fight Club?

IE7 exposed

[Oct. 30th, 2006|08:42 pm]

As long as I have used Internet Explorer 6, I could never trust the browser for browsing. I was hoping that with the new and improved Internet Explorer would allow me to use only one browser for the Internet. Unfortunately, this will not happen with IE7 and I have yet to get to use the Phishing Site detector. After seeing what happened in IE7 when logged into Slashdot, I felt obligated to review Internet Explorer 7.

The Noticeable Features of Internet Explorer 7:

Customized Searching
- I can choose just about any website that has a search engine and be able to search that site from my browser along with many other sites.
- This is a plus if one of your work repsonsibilities is to purchase hardware
Tabbed Browsing
- "It's about time"
Clear Type Support
- If you have an LCD screen or any other flat panel monitor, this is a feature that allows the text on your screen appear smooth and more legible
- This is great for those who have poor vision. My father could find this useful
Visible URL of Pop-Up Window
- This is awesome: Website hacking here I come!
Removed menu bar from the top of the IE window
- This is a good feature since it allows more viewable space by default.
- I have a feeling though there is a user out there that depends on the menu bar.
Phishing Site detector
- Supposedly it should be able to notify you if your viewing a phishing or legit site.
- I will definitely put this feature to the test.

IE7 is a big improvement over Internet Explorer 6; the new features improve your browsing experience by allowing tabbed browsing of multiple pages.

Now, how will I test Internet Explorer 7? I will test it using several key points that ensures the best browsing experience.

They are:

Page Rendering
- The displaying of a web-page, plugins and other content.
Performance
- Memory usage, processor usage, does it crash? etc.
Security
- Phising protection, Mal-ware installation prevention, and does it properly work with secured websites
Interface
Page Rendering Performance

Loading times for web pages(until I see text)

Will update with the review.

Bel Biv Devoe - Poison

]

Summoners of Endaeus is an RPG where one must test his skills against computer opponents and humans in a battle of summoned monsters and wizardry.

STATUS: Furthering Idea Development

Here is what I have so far

Notes(Taken from Notebook):

Summon Types:

Gravity - Controls inertia and objects in motion

Electric - Forces of Electricity, itself is power

Wind - Moves water, erodes the earth, controls the atmosphere

Earth - Holds things in place

Light -

Dark -

Water -

Fire -

Metal -

The game itself will feature monsters that can be summoned and fused with other monsters(similar to Yu-gi-oh)
Your persona in the game also has stats of his own.

Project: GLoop	[Nov. 29th, 2005\|09:56 pm]
The GLoop project has been started. GLoop will be a online web application that will utilize the Google API to generate a dependable transit map that would also provide features such as Restaurants and Stores. Here is the quick project plan: For the next 2 weeks i will study the Google API and see what it is capable of. Then I will develop an architecture for Gloop. MORE TO COME!

Compromise Windows XP Pro Update	[Aug. 12th, 2005\|02:42 pm]
You can easily compromise the Windows XP Genuine Advantage tool by placing this in your browser before selecting Express or Custom install whenever you use Windows Update: javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all') 'nuff said.

Enable Concurrent Sessions	[Aug. 4th, 2005\|04:53 pm]
Whoa. Apparently this should allow you to do multiple Concurrent sessions in Windows XP It appears a tiny registry change on a machine running Windows XP SP2 will enable SP2's Concurrent Sessions for Remote Desktop. This allows more than one user to use the machine at the same time. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Terminal Server/Licensing Core Create a new DWORD entry "EnableConcurrentSessions" and assign a value of 1 to it. Concurrent Sessions is now enabled.
