BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — An Indiana University student at the center of an FBI investigation speaks out after he created a Web site meant to expose holes in airport security.
Investigators have dropped a criminal case against Christopher Soghoian, 25, but not before his life was turned upside down, 6News’ Jennifer Carmack reported.
The Feds drop the case, but in my opinion it is the feds that should be charged. When they make systems that are so easy to break, they should be held liable. Not the Comp Sci Student that shows the world.
Yeah they piss me off.
So I can now say….
WHY HAVEN’T YOU DONE YOUR’S
version 2.05 is out, get it.
Ha Ha…

Don’t cry for the Zune just yet
Microsoft’s challenger to the iPod takes second place in digital audio player market in first sales week, according to report.
Apple Fanboys, Zune is not dead. Read It
News from Yahoo
We used to use gunboat diplomacy, ah the 1800’s were good times. But is seems now we go, do as I say or you will have to buy a Zune not an IPOD.
To piss off The Nut in charge of North Korea, the US has said No Ipod For you!!! To me it is a stupid way to punish him. Tell me that someone that can get nuclear and weapon tech on the black market won’t be able to score an IPOD?
So I’d like to officially say WTF?

Cool Router Software
DD-WRT is a free firmware for several wireless routers, most notably the Linksys WRT54G (now WRT54GL), that run minimalist Linux-based operating systems. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.
DD-WRT is maintained by BrainSlayer at dd-wrt.com. DD-WRT up to v22 (current version is v23 SP2 final) was based on the Alchemy firmware from Sveasoft, and Alchemy is based on the original Linksys firmware. DD-WRT and Alchemy also include other open source projects.
Among other features not found in the original Linksys firmware, DD-WRT adds the Kai Console Gaming network daemon, IPv6, Wireless Distribution System (WDS), RADIUS, advanced quality of service (QoS) controls for bandwidth allocation, radio output power control (with possible settings up to 251mW, which is far greater than the router’s default power output) and software support for a Secure Digital card hardware modification.
We have so much to be thankful for it is nice to take a day to remember that.
The Wii. Price is about $250. That is unless you go to Toys R Us.

Yes. That is correct they have jacked the price up to $489 to $589.
Fuckers
They are putting in stuff you don’t need, and don’t want. I do not need a SD card from Toys R Us. I have SD cards. I don’t need them to pick a group of games. I will pick my own games at my own pace, don’t shove these crappy titles down my neck so you can get a bigger profit. You guys Suck.
$489+++

Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz I don’t want it and would not want to spend money on it. Would you?
My suggestion is to not buy a package, not to buy from a store saying they only have packages. Get what you want not what some store tells you to buy. I hate these kinds of deals because they are aimed at parents and grandparents that don’t know better and to me they are nothing but a blatant rip off. So beware.
Good Article
Getting ripped off by Toys R US and he compares Xbox360 and the Wii.
Good article.
So there are 3 different consoles out that are vying for your holiday money. Everyone else is giving their opinion so i figured i’d throw my 2 cents in.
Nintendo Wii:
OK the graphics are not as good as as the XBOX 360 or the PS3 but it is not trying to be. Nintendo Wii is going for fun. In my opinion they have achieved it. The controller is a great concept and from what I have read it is very responsive. The games are the ones I grew up playing, Mario, Zelda, and the others. Who doesn’t want to take Link out for another adventure, now when you can swing the sword in the real world and have it happen in screen. Very Cool.
Also the price is good $250, I know a few years ago that would have been a fortune, but with the others charging $400-$600 that $250 price tag is very appealing.
PS3
Sony shorted the North American Market, causing a hype about this product. From what I have read and watched this product was also shipped before it was finished. As soon as you turn it on it needs high speed internet to connect back to Sony to download the firmware updates. Without and internet connection you have just bought a $600 paper weight. I have yet to see any compelling reasons to get this system.
XBOX360
Been around for a year. They have the bugs worked out. graphics are on par with the PS3. Price is lower $400 compared to $600. Xbox Live is also a great way to play online, and has been developed into a mature platform from Microsoft.
Games are getting to be kick ass. I have just watched a trailer for Gears Of War that looks totally freaking awesome. check it out. That and knowing Halo 3 beta will be release in 2007 makes this a console I am dying for.
Conclusion:
Nintendo Wii: Buy, it looks fun.
PS3: Not Ready For Primetime, wait for the pricedrop and the patches.
XBOX360: Buy It. Good Price, Great Games.
