Anyone have any alternative to norton ghost that is either opensource or free that will work with windows vista? Lets hear it in the comments.

Ever go into town with your laptop only to find that you have to pay $10/hour to access it? Well hak5 did a nice episode and one of the segments of the episode was how to get around that. Well rather than re-write the whole how-to becuase it would not come out as good as there instructions I will just send you to view the episode

Gotta love the britts!

Here’s a mean-spirited way to keep teenagers away from your place of business: a pink florescent light designed to make acne look much worse.

British local councils now have this, as well as the famous “mosquito” speaker that produces an annoying high-pitched tone that only young people can hear, at their disposal to give to shopkeepers who hate kids. It’s all very dickish and over-the-top.

Is it just me, or does Britain seem like a downright fucking horrible place? Between bullshit like this, their decent into an Orwellian surveillance state, the terrible food and lousy climate, it’s definitely fallen near the bottom of my list of places I want to go. Nice work, Britain

Now I am not sure if I have to explain the fail here but I am going to anyway…

1. A light to make acne worse? Who the hell gets paid to come up with this shit?
2. Who wants to go into a store teenager or not that has pink lights all over it?
3. Did they not think about teens who just dont give a shit?

Sorry I find it as a fail…

Techdirt has a post about china blocking youtube and its really interesting. The government has filters on all the networks so in reality they can block any and all sites they want. Australia was [is?] trying to get a filtering system in place for block adult content but who is to say they wont take it a step further and block any sites that are not kid friendly or what ever. Am I the only one who thinks we should just let the internet be open from filters? Damn you over controlling governments!!!!!!!!!

Lots of headlines today about how China has blocked access to YouTube, apparently because of some videos posted by a Tibetan exile group. Of course, this isn’t the first time China’s blocked the site — it did so about a year ago, again because of videos related to Tibet. Around the same time, it also started enforcing laws against non-government owned video-sharing sites, and took action against more than 50 of them. This latest block shouldn’t be particularly surprising to anybody, but it stands as a reminder that the flow of outside information into China on the internet is like a faucet the government can shut off at any point. The only real question is when did the country lift last year’s YouTube block?

In this episode I have some friends joining me! Welcome the newest members Caboose and Care Bear!

We are talking about what to do with your old computer that you have collecting dust in your closet. A rant about ISP service and support and some panoramic photos. This show was recorded using ventrilo and I am not to proud of the quality but I am working on some stuff so hopefully it will get better over time. Any comments or suggestions just post them as a comment I welcome them all
