Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Mar 21, 2005 6:41pm PSTWell as much as I dislike Vin I guess I'll force myself to check out the Chronicles Of Riddick demo since so many people say the game is the bees knees. Oh and why do I continue to torture myself with that chili from Jason's Deli? WTF am I doing.

First the police made a raid at one of Sweden's largets ISPs, Bahnhof, and found over 20Tb(!) of stuff.
Then is appears that the "Anti-Pirate Bureau" (APB, they work with MPAA and RIAA) had controlled the raid, with it's own people (including one infiltrator from APB) pointing out to the poilce during the raid on which servers to find the illegal files. This is an involvment in police business that is not permitted in Sweden. More here (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/03/14/bahnhof_bust/)
Now it appears that the infiltrator planted the files on the servers on order from APB. And not only that. APB also bought in new equipment for over $3.000 (and had the infiltrator place it in the Bahnhof server park) to be able to host it all(!). (info in swedish: http://www.idg.se/ArticlePages/200503/22/20050322113138_CS/20050322113138_CS.dbp.asp)
This is getting better than any soap opera...

Wirehog is a program that's sort of like Direct Connect crossed with gmail. Just another p2p system that lets you share whatever you want and grab whatever your friends are sharing. No fat application to install, and you access it through whatever web browser you use. Good for sharing with your friends and getting crap from your own computer when you're not there.
Thing is, it's invitation only, but you can send invitations to however many people you want, so, I've got some time to kill and some decent stuff to share. And while it may be gimmicky for a while it's pretty cool so far. Want in?
Just reply with your e-mail and I'll start sending off invitations.

I've just been aurally teabagged.
Okay, so maybe I've been spoiled, having been introduced to Japanese music via The Boredoms and Shiina Ringo... both of whom are all sorts of awesome.
But I just downloaded and listened to some Maaya Sakamoto, and this stuff is so bad. I mean shit, Britney Spears has some pretty clever tunes compared to this stuff. Is all Jpop this bad?
I assume not, so uh, show me some good stuff.

I don't want to get into an argument of whether to kill her since that's been discussed ad nausem. But why not make it quick. How do we know she's not aware of the fact she's being allowed to starve death. Seems max uber cruel to me.
For the record I'm on the side of life in this one.

Still missing a few titles...some of the discs I have aren't in their database, so i'll have to enter them in whenever I get access to a scanner for the coverart and such. Others I just can't find right now and I'll have to dig for later.
Now I need a good DVD rack :(

Out in a little office somewhere I have a little linux box running. It is running iptables and is locked up pretty tight. Basically it acts as a firewall and ssh front end. I completely forgot about it for the longest time. The customer just sends me a check every month just in case, ya know?
Well he sends me an email saying they noticed some traffic slowdown and wanted me to check it out. So, I ssh in and it looks like the /tmp just needed cleared. While I was there, I did an uptime check.
475 days uptime! Way to go big fucking ups!

So whats better, Geforce 6600GT or Radeon X800 XT?
I hear the Radeon is (alot?) faster but the Geforce has all them crazy features and is more favoured by game engines.
