Man Accuses Cat of Downloading Child Porn 174

bruce_the_loon writes "They have blamed viruses. They have blamed neighbors. They have accused police of planting it. In rare cases, they have admitted downloading it. This is the first time someone has accused a cat of downloading child porn onto their computer. This seems like a defense almost too stupid to be made up."

Submission + - Documenting a network

Since then, I've managed to get it up and running — even thriving — but have been guilty of being too busy with the "getting things done" side of networking to document the changes and systems that are put in place. Now I look back, I realise that there is a lot of stuff that I've done and if I get hit by a bus or throw in the towel for any reason I'm leaving behind a network that requires some significant expertise to run and I am worried that I'm the only one that will ever know how it works. Ultimately, this won't be a good reference for me if they are forever trying to work out technical details for years to come. It's likely that I would be replaced with someone with less technical expertise (read "cheaper") and so the document needs to have all sorts of details that outside consultants could understand too (no, I don't want to be the outside consultant either...).

Are there any good templates out there for documenting networks? Has anyone done it before and have some experiences to share? What did you wish your predecessor had written down about a network that you inherited?

Thanks!"

User input is nothing new so this time they are going to give away the position of 'A Video Game Industry Directorship' on a brand new game to the person that contributes the most. The website for this new project is http://topsecret.acclaim.com./

What do you think, just another ridiculous marketing scheme or is it the break that some of us have been waiting for?"

I had a break in three days afterwards, and the system recorded it as an avi file. The problem is, I try to play it back and it wont play. I've tried every common recovery app out there, and my question at this point is: "Do services or products exist that allow extraction of raw frames from hex data, derived from an avi file?" The answer to this question could go a long way in removing a thief who has been terrorizing our neighborhood for quit some time."

Journal Journal: MvixUSA, Unicorn Bends to Pressure, Releases GPL Source Code

Journal by kjh1 on Monday February 12, 2007 @11:20PM

After being pressured by their user base, MvixUSA, the distributor of the Mvix MX-760HD Wireless Media Center, has obtained the source code to the firmware from the Korean manufacturer, Unicorn Network Total Solution, and made it available for download on their website. The firmware is based on the uClinux kernel. This is reminiscent of the fight that the community had to go through with GamePark Holdings, Inc. to have them

One I really don't mind this as its a seperate section you have to click to, and slashdot is a for profit organization. But on topic now, I just got the basic HD DVR and honestly I'm loving it, and hopefully by the time my family gets hdtv they move up to the plus and we can really integrate our home network.
