A Gamers’ Manifesto

without comments

The Sony Playstation 3 is going to cost $465.00.

In the desolate economic climate of post-apocalyptic 2006, I’m thinking that’s going to be a lot of money. Now, it’s true that at E3 Sony was boasting the Playstation 3 could crank out 1.8 TFLOPS, or 1.8 trillion FLOPS. If that many FLOPS were piled together they would fill the Grand Canyon, assuming each FLOP were the size of a muskrat. So what do gamers want from all that money and FLOP? Just ask them. “

BaitCar.com | Bait Cars Are Everywhere. Steal One. Go To Jail.

Solicitor General Rich Coleman launches the bait car program at a news conference in April 2004

Many have been asking where the funding for the bait car program comes from. Here is the answer:

Policing in the Province of British Columbia is directed through the Ministry of Solicitor General, Police Services Division. This ministry provided funding for the bait car program with an initial first year start-up cost of approximately one million dollars that covered the purchase and equipping of the bait car fleet, and an award-winning advertising campaign. The IMPACT bait car program is now the largest in North America. Under the leadership of Solicitor General Rich Coleman the program has now expanded to Vancouver Island with plans to expand further into the interior of British Columbia.The bait car program is a perfect example of a crime reduction strategy that really works. After ten straight years of climbing auto theft rates in British Columbia, we have for the first time seen a 10% reduction.

Bait cars are everywhere.

Steal one, go to jail.

Watch the video’s of people stealing baitcars, hidden camera’s in the cars with videos online are an attempt at detering people from stealing cars.

Blog Torrent - Simplified bittorrent by Downhill Battle

Im liking the sounds of this….

What is Blog Torrent?

Blog Torrent is software that makes it much easier to share and download files using the bittorrent protocol. Blog Torrent is easy to install on your website: we don’t require MySQL so installation is as easy as uploading a folder to your web host, and all administration happens in the web interface. Blog Torrent is easy for users: even if they don’t know what bittorrent is, they get an installer that downloads the file they want. But most of all, Blog Torrent makes publishing with bittorrent painless. Just click “upload”, pick a file, and you’re done.

Why does Blog Torrent matter?

Making it easy to blog large video files means that people can share their home movies the same way they share their photos or writings. It lets people create vast networks of truly peer-to-peer video content– video that was made by individuals and shared with individuals, no big bandwidth budget required. Does this mean that we can do for television what blogs have done for news? Let’s find out…

Why use Blog Torrent on your blog or website?

1. It lets you post video or other large files as easily as you post text.

2. Installing Blog Torrent is as easy as uploading a photo to your website or blog.

3. Blog Torrent is the one bittorrent tracker that won’t confuse your users.

4. It publishes an RSS feed of all your torrents.

Why use Blog Torrent on your computer?

1. Lets you publish large files to your website or any other Blog Torrent site.

2. It’s hands-down the easiest way to publish using bittorrent (normally a huge hassle).

3. Because you have no idea what the hell bittorrent is, but you clicked on a link and the file you wanted started downloading right away.

Why help develop Blog Torrent?

1. Because it needs to get smoother and prettier.

2. Because it really, really needs to get smoother and prettier.

3. Because it’s awesome.

Public Proxy Servers

Public Proxy Servers

Proxy Servers

A proxy server is a kind of buffer between your computer and the Internet resources you are accessing. They accumulate and save files that are most often requested by thousands of Internet users in a special database, called “cache”. Therefore, proxy servers are able to increase the speed of your connection to the Internet. The cache of a proxy server may already contain information you need by the time of your request, making it possible for the proxy to deliver it immediately. The overall increase in performance may be very high. Also, proxy servers can help in cases when some owners of the Internet resources impose some restrictions on users from certain countries or geographical regions. In addition to that, among proxy servers there are so called anonymous proxy servers that hide your IP address thereby saving you from vulnerabilities concerned with it.

Anonymous Proxy Servers

Anonymous proxy servers hide your IP address and thereby prevent your from unauthorized access to your computer through the Internet. They do not provide anyone with your IP address and effectively hide any information about you and your reading interests. Besides that, they don’t even let anyone know that you are surfing through a proxy server. Anonymous proxy servers can be used for all kinds of Web-services, such as Web-Mail (MSN Hot Mail, Yahoo mail), web-chat rooms, FTP archives, etc. ProxySite.com - a place where the huge list of public proxies is compiled. In a database you always can find the most modern lists, the Proxy are checked every minute, and the list is updated daily from various sources. The system uses the latest algorithm for set and sortings of servers by proxy, servers for anonymous access are checked. Results of Search always can be kept in file Excel.

Why Should You Use Anonymous Proxy Servers?

Any web resource you access can gather personal information about you through your unique IP address – your ID in the Internet. They can monitor your reading interests, spy upon you and, according to some policies of the Internet resources, deny accessing any information you might need. You might become a target for many marketers and advertising agencies who, having information about your interests and knowing your IP address as well as your e-mail, will be able to send you regularly their spam and junk e-mails.

A web site can automatically exploit security holes in your system using not-very-complex, ready-made, free hacking programs. Some of such programs may just hang your machine, making you reboot it, but other, more powerful ones, can get access to the content of your hard drive or RAM. Everything a web site may need for that is only your IP address and some information about your operating system.

- Rob’s comment: Its all well and good but I used a few of the proxy servers these guys have lited and I had pop-ups, porn, spyware etc. Id avoid using this particular sites server list and if you really want to be anonymous pay to use an anonymous proxy server. There is a company in the states called lockdown which my colleage swears by using a program called MultiProxy.
