I don't update much. Ah, I see you've noticed, and missed me. Thanks for that. What hav3 I been up 2? Isn't it obvious? I've tracked down The Conspiracy in the Catholic Church, you think Dan Brown knows conspiracies? I pity the fool who thinks Dan Brown knows a conspiracy from a barn door. I'm still reeling from the ramifications. I'm putting one foot in front of the other. To confront the monstrous and not become monstrous. |

frequently the truth movement fails
take for example this headline from jonesreport: Scientist predicted swine flu in 2004
yet in the same breath they will say swine flu isn't actually a big deal its just a fabricated threat to get people excited to accept their solution, which is like probably forced vaccination routines.
i saw a similar thing recently, there was this article on how we should accept peer review, because its so bullet-proof, which segued into a stephen jones peer reviewed report on the use of thermite explosives in the trade towers.
but then you show them a peer reviewed journal saying humans are carbon killing the earth and we need drastic population reduction or mother earth is going to croak a fat one, and then they reject peer review.
its interesting to study computer hacking and the notion of attack surfaces, and then study the individual person and think of their attack surface, and then study groups of people and think of their attack surfaces, leads to very interesting thoughts, zip zap, electrizity in my brianz |

this is pretty interesting
http://www.matasano.com/log/1674/the-security-implications-of-google-native-client/
have been generating research results showing how attackers can extract private keys from systems using fine-grained timers. Some of the most interesting work in this vein shows what attackers that reside on the same hardware as their targets (like in a shared hosting environment) can do by timing microarchitecture features like caches.
Concrete example? Ok. You’re a NaCl program running alongside an SSL implementation being coerced into running over and over again. The SSL code is deciding to jump to different locations in its code based on bits in a secret key. The X86 caches branch targets to implement branch prediction. NaCl programs can’t —- in fact no program can —- directly access the BTB caches. But they can implement code sequences that will time differently depending on what’s in them.
In the canonical exploit, the attacker writes a “spy” program that continuously generates traces based on predicted cache contents. Those traces can be downloaded and used to reconstruct guesses about private keys. They don’t need to be exactly right; they just need to drastically reduce the search space of a brute-force attack.
wow, impressive. so people are just super good with computers. |

from reddit:
I'm working in a student satellite program at MSU, and we are actually planning to open our satellite up to the public, to a large degree. There are a lot of satellites you can actually operate, and there is a chunk of the ham community devoted to operating satellites. Genesat actually had a competition to see who could download the most data. However, there would be some obstacles to operating a "secure" satellite. First off, you'd need to know quite a bit about the satellite you were trying to crack. You'd need to know operating frequencies for uplink and downlink (There could be multiple uplink and downlink frequencies as well). You'd need to know the command protocol and you'd need a list of commands. It might be possible to bruteforce a lot of that sort of thing. Depending on the orbit and your location, you might not have a lot of time to bruteforce anything, since a lot of satellites only are operable for about 20 minutes every couple hours, from here. You'd need to know something about the code running on the satellite- hopefully you'd have the source if you were trying to crack it. Otherwise, you'd have no idea what any of the software was doing and I don't know how you could do anything with it. So, if you can get documentation on the satellite, it should be pretty easy. Otherwise, I don't know how it could work .
crazy that you can operate satellites
speaking of hackery stuff, i was noticing that i have failed as a hacker
i don't know lisp
i haven't programmed a compiler
i haven't read the wizard book
i haven't executed shellcode on a remote machine without the help of metasploit
i haven't done a SQL injection
i haven't hacked into milnet and taken control of military robots, started a revolution and declared myself god emperor of earth
pretty pathetic if you ask me |

The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, known as the GIVE Act, was passed yesterday by a 321-105 margin and now goes to the Senate.
Under section 6104 of the bill, entitled “Duties,” in subsection B6, the legislation states that a commission will be set up to investigate, “Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.”
i like how its both a requirement and volunteering at the same time |

i was thinking its ironic that we claim to like culture and diversity but we are so homogeneous, and to prove it just go to stuffwhitepeoplelike it will prob describe you pretty well, so i guess our culture is just a mashup of simpsons references and NPR and what other crappy media we consumed as youngsters
the meme is go to stuff white people like a list which of them fits u

so basically I've been reading that website i linked to a while ago, about how the pope is not actually even remotely catholic, and my brother called up and wanted to debate the website, so i'm like well, go read it, and call me back, because he hadnt read it, and he says i dont need to read it, i already know it all, and i'm like how can you know it all if you havent read it yet, and he's like some other stuff
and then he just does his trademark move, which is 1 get angry, 2 make voice deeper, 3 start talking condescendingly - this works since I'm his younger brother and used to this and 4 do some kind of appeal to authority...
so i hung up on him, and i dont feel bad about it, i just wish he wasn't such a jerk
then he calls my mom to complain about how i'm leaving the church, mom thinks shes catholic, but she thinks Buddhists go to heaven, which is a rejection of the entire catholic faith...
so basically my entire family is basically fucked up
eh, i dont know if anybody reads this, but it feels nice to type it at least |

Not surprisingly, words reflecting Britain's Christian heritage were especially hard hit: "abbey, altar, bishop, chapel, christen, disciple, monk, nun, pew, saint," and "sin" were all axed. Even Christmas took a hit: "carol," "holly," and "mistletoe" were removed.
Saunders is concerned that eliminating "so many words associated with Christianity will have a big effect on the numerous primary schools who use it." That's exactly the idea. The head of the children's dictionary at Oxford University Press admitted as much. She said that "the environment has changed." |
