Maybe start making your own work, rather than stealing that created by others and claiming it as your own.

Couldn't figure out what you were posting about, stealing someone elses work as my own.

The fav uploaded right, Nope, not only was it properly attributed to Pita Ten and Shia Chan; the start of the video has an intro by Shia Chan, their Yahoo.com email address, and a hope you'll enjoy the video; then the best rendition of "Send me an Angel" I've heard begins.

The intro is separate from the music and easily removable. In a way posting the video I felt a hat tip to Shia Chan, as it was no longer found on Youtube.

I first heard about Voat a few months back, as some great censorship-free haven in which anything goes.

It took about twenty minutes of browsing the site before I stumbled on a child porn subreddit (or whatever they called them).

A subreddit (or whatever they called them) like that you can bet will be heavily monitored and not by the site itself. I've seen a bit of baiting being posted, trying to bring those type into the open.

I just looked back at digg.com for the first time in a couple years from when it flamed out heroically on it's 2.0 launch. It's not horrible now, there doesn't appear to be too much drama on their front page. Looks like delicio.us Just a abc/cbs style repost of yesterdays "hot web news"

Yep, I was there when Digg.com updated their site to nobodies liking, most migrated to Reddit.com. Digg.com is now all but forgotten.

A long fall from their height after shutting down the site when a key to bypass Blueray (?) DRM was posted, then came back on-line and that key was reposted by everybody, it became a popular site over that.

SpaceX founder files with government to provide Internet service from space

"The plan calls for launching a constellation of 4,000 small and cheap satellites that would beam high-speed Internet signals to all parts of the globe, including its most remote regions. Musk has said the effort “would be like rebuilding the Internet in space.”"

A rootkit is a special type of malware (malicious software). Rootkits are special because you don't know what they're doing. Rootkits are nearly undetectable and they're almost impossible to remove. Although detection tools are proliferating, malware developers are constantly finding new ways to cover their tracks.

You can bet those retarded assholes would be much more polite if they weren't cowering behind a veil of anonymity.

I've seen many post where one threatens the other with death threats or for libel yet it went no further (and this was when the posters IP address was listed in the headers).

Didn't think of it when posting.

My Usenet provider retains many years of post in some areas, here's part of a header as a cit, if you go to https://www.robtex.com/ and input the "NNTP-Posting-Host:" you can see where this person lived or still lives.

All you see anymore is the message bouncing back and forth between Google servers with 10.x.x.x addresses.

Comment Youtube is going to get me screwed. (Score 0) 181

I've gotten 9 copyright infringement notices, the last one a few days ago when I posted a link as a shock video ( the upload date (2009) - every notice I've gotten whether I link to it our uploaded it, that video is still on youtube.com.

I made a minecraft video with Moody Blues as background music, rejected for copyright (not a problem, wasn't sure of the music), uploaded another I'd downloaded years earlier as it's a fav, rejected for a copyright held by some anima production company. And a few others have been rejected which I've accepted as my bad.

So it's not like youtube.com allows copyrighted material, they don't; but at least all get on the same page as if it's on youtube.com I take it as public domain; unless of course it's obviously being sold, or a copyright claimed in some manner.

If that weren't enough the ToS has changed https://www.youtube.com/static... #4 A - came across it just now, and I always read ToS's, so a habit (I'd of known). The way I read it I can't even paste that line, the link chancy :) - I did remove a link and reedit this post though. Showing yep, they are gonna screw me...

Submission + - SpaceX Dragon V2 passes pad-abort milestone w/ NASA

Submitted by taiwanjohn
taiwanjohn writes: NASA has approved a $30 million milestone payment to SpaceX under the agency’s Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) agreement with the company following a recent and successful pad abort test of its Crew Dragon spacecraft.

“The reams of data collected provide designers with a real benchmark of how accurate their analyses and models are at predicting reality. As great as our modern computational methods are, they still can’t beat a flight test, like this, for finding out what is going on with the hardware,” said Jon Cowart, partner manager for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.

The next milestone will be an in-flight abort test, scheduled for this fall.

Submission + - Undetectable NSA-linked hybrid malware hits Intel Security radar (theregister.co.uk) 1

Submitted by Errorcod3
Errorcod3 writes: CTB Locker ransomware attacks rose 165 per cent in the first three months of 2015.

More than a third (35 per cent) of victims were based in Europe, McAfee Labs reported. CTB Locker encrypts files and holds them hostage until the ransom is paid. As such, the crimeware is picking up the baton that dropped with the takedown of the infamous CryptoLocker ransomware scam in May last year.

The latest edition of Intel Security's report, released on Tuesday, reports attacks on firmware for the first time. More specifically, the report details "persistent and virtually undetectable attacks" by the so-called Equation Group that reprogram hard disk drives and solid state drive firmware.

McAfee Labs assessed the reprogramming modules exposed in February and found that they could be used to reprogram the firmware in SSDs in addition to the previously-reported HDD reprogramming capability.
Once reprogrammed, the HDD and SSD firmware can reload associated malware each time infected systems boot and the malware persists even if the drives are reformatted or the operating system is reinstalled.

Once infected, security software cannot detect the associated malware stored in a hidden area of the drive.

Submission + - Quantum physics: Reality doesn't exist if you aren't looking at it? (digitaljournal.com)

Submitted by TaleSlinger
TaleSlinger writes: “Quantum physics predictions about interference seem odd enough when applied to light, which seems more like a wave, but to have done the experiment with atoms, which are complicated things that have mass and interact with electric fields and so on, adds to the weirdness,” said PhD student Roman Khakimov, who was involved in the experiment.
Nevertheless, they expected the atom to behave just like light, meaning that it would take on both the form of a particle and/or a wave. This time they fired the atoms at two grate-like forms created by lasers, although the effect was similar to a solid grate.
However, the second grate was only put in place after the atom had passed through the first one. And the second grate wasn't applied each time, only randomly, to see how the particles reacted differently.
What they found was that, when there were two grates in place, the atom passed through it on many paths in a wave form, but, when the second grate was removed, it behaved like a particle and took only one path through.
So, what form it would take after passing through the first grate depended on whether the second grate was put in place afterward. Therefore, whether it continued as a particle or changed into a wave wasn't decided until a future event had already taken place.

Australian National University, lead researcher Andrew Truscott said in a press release that they have proven that "reality does not exist if you are not looking at it.”

I have a top notch stereo/Dolby/whatever sound field u need system (All Sony for compatibility), beats anything I could hope to put together again. It's sitting in storage as the introduction of HDMI made it obsolete.

I have a HDMI to optical switch, works quite well.

I'll be damn! http://www.newegg.com/Product/... I didn't know these existed, I guess I fell for the line that you can't bypass HDMI, so no options for me. By going through the optical port is doesn't.
