At first, China's internet got censored. We laughed.
Australia was next. We laughed too.
Now, it is our turn. USA, Canada, Europe, Mexico. We are all affected.

ACTA allows them to search your iPods and computers at random, without reason.
ACTA allows them to confiscate your iPods and computers without reason.
ACTA allows them to block websites deemed "unacceptable". This means 151chan.
ACTA will ban p2p clients, like uTorrent
ACTA will allow ISPs to PERMANENTLY Ban you from using the internet, without a trial.

Set aside our differences for a second. Set aside our stereotypes and cynical attitude.
Think. If ACTA is passed, who's to say that we will not suffer?
Who's to say that 151chan will be spared in the mass crusade against free though?
Internet censorship must be stopped. Before it's too late.

Great idea, stop ACTA. Now how do you propose to do this? With masked protests organized in some backwater IRC channel? This isn't CoS you're talking about taking on here, this is a treaty between some of the largest and most powerful nations on the face of the earth. If the best anonymous can muster is a sea of Guy Fawkes expies rallying outside Capitol Hall, then count me out of this grassroots movement. I'll do my part and send letters to representatives and newspaper editors, but I seriously doubt that Chanology-style bullshit is going to do anything but hurt our cause in this fight.

I'm fine with linux. In fact, I used it a lot as a kid. Just, it's almost like the '80s UNIX wars: so many distros with different incompatible shit. Now it's nowhere near as bad as it was back then... maybe it's not even directly comparable if at all. But all the different distros running off of the same damn kernal base are still a bit annoying to me. Just a personal eccentricity, I guess.

Also, OSX's task manager is Meta+Opt+Shift+Escape. It's been this for a while. Apple doesn't like advertising this, however.

Heh, killall isn't the only thing that doesn't work. At least there is a major similarity on the OS. The OpenPROM on Apple's PPC computers is unlike every other OpenPROM device out there. I was trying to change the output and input devices on one of my macs so I could use it headlessly (who the fuck still uses dumb-terminals?!), and that turned into the biggest pain imaginable. None of the commands I used on my Sun machines worked. None. And Apple kept horrible documentation on them and buried even that under a huge pile of rubble. At least setenv still worked. T_T

I probably sound really stupid right now.

>I probably sound really stupid right now.
Not at all, don't think I created this board without realising there'd be some OS arguments.

I agree with you on the but about too many distros, there must be about 3 dozen forks of Ubuntu right now, each with it's own little aesthetic modification or custom repository and I can't imagine how tough it is to test software on all of them.

Oh, and thanks for the task manager command, noted next to `rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone` for when I ever need an admin account.

What's a good, free File Shredder? I'm looking for one that randomizes its algorithm, or lets you choose a seed. Trying to stay away from the more common methods, such as Gutmann. The only things I've found so far won't do beans unless you buy it.

Well I hear there's this great thing called Gravity which can do the job for you. I seem to recall you have a bit of experience with incapacitating drives using this. XD

In all seriousness, if there's ever something I feel the need to bleach off of my hard drive, I use this tool called "ultrashredder" to kill it. Don't know much about it though since Kakama gave it to me as a standalone exe but I figure, with all the shit he does, if he trusts it, then I have no reason not to.

I keep hearing about "skynet" - what is it?

And that vision of the future scares me, too, if it becomes that involved. There will be the tech, but I don't think every aspect of our lives will be an advert. If every aspect were, I would most certainly move to an area where they did things the old way - rewind VHS's (we record DVD movies onto VHS's and watch them), plug in cartridges to systems to play games, and ... okay, I wouldn't use dial-up.
I would cross countries if I needed to. There needs to remain a haven from the polluted affluence of western society.

Here I relay a tale from days of yore.

From the 1970's until the 1990's, a media format known as VHS existed. Dopplegangers attempted to oust VHS's mighty hold on the world, but in the end, VHS is the legend which will remembered.

In our current world, we use a media format known as DVD (with upcoming Blu-ray). When DVD was first released, all who owned VHS gasped in horror that their entire collection of Star Trek VHS tapes would be obsolete. They also laughed at the price of DVDs and DVD players, and continued to use VHS.
Soon, however, when you brought a VHS to a friend's house, all they had was a DVD player, and you were unable to share the delight of your poor quality audio and video of an amazing film. In place of the awesome VHS movie you were going to watch, you were forced and subjected to higher quality audio and video (played on an obese, cathode ray tube television - but that's another story for another time), of a terrible, recently released, recycled-plot film.

DVD owners laughed at our VHS tapes. Their logic for owning DVD was this:
"Well my movies might suck, but at least I don't have to rewind."
What is rewinding? Rewinding is a concept unique to pre-DVD era media formats. You see, within the VHS tape, a sort of plastic "tape" was wrapped around a spool, and this length of this tape contained the the movie you watched on your television screen. When playing, the tape would transfer from left spool to the right spool. Naturally, the tape would be stuck on the right side, so if we wanted to watch it again, we had to bring everything back to the left side via a process we called "rewinding".
Now there were two camps of thought in the phenomena of rewinding. Some people rewinded the tape immediately after watching, leaving nice, fresh, new and ready for immediate viewing. Others were akin to the hare - they enjoyed their delicious treats during the summer and starved during the winter. The latter camp tended to not watch movies very much, and thusly tended to be very boring in conversation.

In another 10 or 20 years, we may yet see the complete casting

sup /bill/?
so, recently my mp3 player died. this may or may not seem like a problem but im one of those people who almost cant live without music (honest! i was freaking the FUCK out when i found out it was dead!) and i was wondering if anyone here could recommend a new mp3 player that isnt an iPod? preferably has good/great quality sound and has minimal set-up.
ex: having to get everything off iTunes would be considered a good bit of set-up.

pic related, my face when i saw my music wasnt coming back any time soon.

Before you get the D2, just a warning: You cannot have a proper playlist unless you install a completely different firmware. Also, I have extreme amount of bad luck but when I got mine, the screen flickered a lot and there was no way to fix that unless I send it in... Which I never did because packing that thing up and filling out all these forms was a pain in the butt, so I just lived with it.

Apparently, my computer got hit with a nasty virus that ate half of my system32 stuff. Luckily, I managed to save my pictures, mp3s and text files in an external harddrive, so the pictures are saved, woo-hoo!

I'm trying to format it with my Windows XP CD but my computer cannot read my CD-Drive when I try opening the BIOS configuration at startup (F2, F8 or F12, one of them).

When I go to the System Information and went to my Drives settings, it says "Onboard or USB CD-Rom Drive (Not Present)", all it can do is open and close normally without reading the disc. All the jumper cables are tightly plugged in when I open the tower up. I just hope the wires aren't damaged.

If anyone helps me, I'll promise tons of Pokeyman .rar files... Or even my whole collection. ; )

Well what sort of hard drive is it, and do you have another computer you can use for the process?

If yes to both, you can use an enclosure (35 dollars or so at a tech store like best buy) and put the drive in the enclosure, then mount said enclosure on another computer which CAN boot from CD rom. Boot the windows install CD and when you select "repair" choose to repair the drive out of your dead computer. This ought to repair the bad files, and let your computer boot again. Before you go ahead and restart it though, I'd use that virus cleaner (and a full-spectrum virus scan, just in case) on the drive while mounted as an external drive on your other PC, so that malicious programs in there don't get the chance to screw you up again.

Do not EVER, under ANY circumstances run ANY other update programs in parallel with a BIOS update.

Tried updating my touchpad driver while the BIOS flasher was also running. They apparently didn't get along, and the whole screen locked up for about ten minutes before I BSOD'd. Needless to say, I was scared shitless, this being my only realy computer and having just days ago gotten it back into working condition after a had disk failure.

Thankfully it was just that one or the other had boned my partition manager drivers and it was nothing a quick insertion of the system install media couldn't remedy, but DAMN it scared me. I've lost a laptop (When I was being given one for use at CS school) to a shite BIOS update, which was actually Lenovo's fault that time, so I know that screwing around with your BIOS basically means you're essentially fucked, but I guess it takes a few close calls to really make the message sink in.

Pic related, it's a stock photo of my (mostly) reliable laptop for over two years now.
