The "Deano Got Banned from Napster" Edition

My PC/NPC (pr0n content/non-pr0n content) is way higher than Raul's because I know what you come for. Where did you think Raul got that Designer Vaginas story from?

Update!!!

Raul reported that the password link I posted had some odd pictures on it, something about eels and dog (bet Raul studied it intently that perv). The Register updated their story to include this info. Read the story here.

IMHO, I wouldn't call it a hack since the way that it got on would be obvious to even the most un-l33t hax0r. See that little submission form on the bottom? Bet it does a straight dump to the page.


Harrypotterguide.co.uk

Seems that WB is taking their protection of IP too seriously. The site was registered and run by a 15 year old fan of the books. WB sent it lawyers after this person threatening litigation. Seems that WB hasn't considered the amount of bad publicity something like this would cause. Read the story here.


eDrug Trader

Pimpwars not enough for you? How about pimping with a little bit of drug trading thrown in. Check it the online game here.


Civil Attorneys

HARRISBURG, Pa -- Most recently in May, Philadelphia attorney Marvin Barish was rebuked by a federal judge after he screamed obscenities at opposing counsel and threatened to kill him.

I shall let this article speak for itself:

Designer vaginas

Gynecological surgery isn't just for medical reasons anymore; some women say it enhances sexual pleasure.
Slip into the full story here.


Hacking live

Interestingly, the link Penfold put up last night about the default system passwords was defaced in the past 12 hours. Someone injected bestiality pics into the tables, rather raunchy ones too (featuring a couple of dogs and some eels). So be warned if you plan to click on the link. It will probably be fixed soon. Until then, enjoy the raunch, if that's your sort of thing.


Lil' PC

MiniPC

Saw this on [H]ardOCP a while ago. Tiqit computers is producing this thing called a Matchbox PC, an entire functional 486-chip PC in a package about the size of a pack of cigs. They are even running one as a Web server.


Unbearable Teddy Bears

ALBUQUERQUE —- Albuquerque police say the teddy bears at Sachs tattoo parlor are baring a bit too much for the public. Police have ticketed the owner of the tattoo and body piercing shop for displaying the anatomically correct bears with piercings in a storefront window.
I wonder if it was one of those "Erection Collection" bears we posted a while back. Hit up the full story here.


Come again?

This site takes the latest cloning technology to a semi-logical end, if a bit myopic. The Second Coming Project seeks to use modern cloning techniques to clone Jesus from one of the holy relics scattered worldwide that may contain Jesus' actual DNA. It fails to consider the high probability that ALL of the relics are fakes. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether this site is a hoax or not.

The "Raul is Weak" Edition

Raul has all day to do his content and he comes out with his weenie little post. No, I'll give you a MAN sized post.


You can Lick My EULA

Ever read one of those licensing agreements that you see when you install software. No? Well, I'm not surprised. See what you are agreeing to when you hit that "I accept" button here.


Instructions for Network Admins

If you are a network administrator, this is a small list of passwords not to use.

* As of Saturday, 1:15pm HST, the above link has been messed with (yup, right before our very eyes). It's a particularly tasteless quasi-hack so be warned that you shouldn't open this link in the presence of, er, virgin eyes.


Sheep Love

This is for Weid, who loves Sheep. Wait, that didn't sound right. Anyways, read a review of the game called Sheep here.


Laura Croft Trailer

Jiggly, animated breasts not enough for you? How about some live action Laura Croft staring Angelina Jolie. See the trailer for the upcoming Tomb Raider movie here. Think Matrix with a woman star, though the special effects aren't nearly as cheesey.


Palm Travel Guide

Not content to publish some of the best travel guides, Lonely Planet has now embraced the palm pilot format and introduces CitySync. Basically Lonely Planet travel guides for you palm pilot. A killer app for the palm equipped traveler.


Paging Dr. Greenpalm

MIAMI (Reuters) -- The charges result from the FBI's Operation Greenpalm sting in 1996 that shook Miami city hall and unearthed its long-buried financial disasters as well as a string of corrupt dealings.
Bet the DOJ people listen to Cypress Hill. Hit up the full story here.

Kiddo

The caption was, "A sign your kid may have a problem."

Someone mentioned that this may be Kyle of [H]ardOCP fame's kid. If anyone can confirm this, please drop us a line. I would search for it on [H]ardOCP, but the damn search engine is broken. Which brings me to the rant of the week:

[rant]
Why do site administrators try to host their own search engines, then allow them to break down, and leave them broken for long periods of time? The search feature is one of the most important features of any Web site IMHO, and should never be left "out of commission" for a long time. Get a freakin' offsite search engine dammit! We use Atomz for this site and it is damn near transparent, and HAS WORKED FINE SINCE THE DAY I IMPLEMENTED IT! Get a clue, Webmasters out there! Don't let your ego screw your site up, if you can't keep a search engine running, either through lack of ability or time, USE AN OFF-SITE ONE!

Tweakin' out

TOKYO (Reuters -- A Japanese shop owner with an acute aversion toward window-shoppers has been arrested for allegedly threatening a woman and forcing her to apologize for eyeing merchandise in his store she didn't want to buy.
This is what happens when good drugs are prohibitively expensive in a country. Hit up the full story here.


Ahh, Guinness!

This from Tef: Scientists have finally settled the ages-old question -- Why to the bubbles in a freshly-poured Guinness "fall" instead of rise? If nothing else, check this page out for the delicious pictures of a pint. Made me thirsty just looking at it.

The "Blind and Drunk" Edition

Had the weirdest job interview today, was a conference call with a firm in Alaska. First time I ever did a interview in shorts and t-shirt.


Revenge of the Bad TV Shows

Not only are we subjected to crap shows like Survivor and Who Wants to be a Millionaire, but the networks are working on some new crap to replace dearest Xena. I cringe of the though of what kind of drivel the networks can come up with. Anyways, see what the networks have in store for us here.
PS at least they got the breasts right. This is a shot from Cleopatra 2525.

Cleopatra 2525


Cruizing 101

Daily Radar is dropping a primer on how to cruize the scene. They even recommend some dope rides to model your car after. There is an actual Mystery Machine rolling around Oahu.


Dream Homes

Think your house is wired? Check out some of these homes of the rich and famous Silicon Valley types. With more cat5 cable than a MFer, all it needs to be a prefect home is a lift in the garage. Sigh, I'd like to be a Silicon Valley gazillionare.


For the Rest of Us

After seeing the homes of the rich and famous, we present to you, computer tricks for the dirt poor (like me). The TechZone has some silly cheap case mods for you to try. Check it out here.


The Ultimate UPS

Raul just bought a UPS (uninterruptable power supply) with his mondo union wages. Bet he didn't get one like this.


Blind and Drunk

I've driven home all blind before, but never both blink and drunk (Yoshi maybe). But this guy takes the cake, check it out here.

Submitted by Laura who better be working on my project and not procrastinating.


Frotteurism

What in the world is frotteurism? Are you a frotteurist? Get a feel for it here.


Office Nookie

Getting some at work? Well, why not? A survey for newwoman.co.uk, a Web site for women, was conducted among 2,000 working women aged between 18 and 35. And what did they find?

The most popular location for workplace sex was "his office," a venue favored by 25 percent, with "her office" preferred by 16 percent. Other places used for sex included cloakrooms (16 percent), the boss's office (12 percent), on the boss's desk (10 percent), the lift (nine percent), the office car park (five percent), the canteen (four percent) and in a cupboard (four percent).

Maybe I should sneak around Legal Aid some more, bet I could catch some people in the act.

Iridium bailout

Getting laid off at the holidays is bad fortune, but at least those who've gotten axed won't have to worry about being hit by falling satellites. Neither do any of us for that matter, thanks to the Department of Defense's generous $72 million lifeline to the company that bought the assets of Iridium, which was famed for its clunky satellite telephones and its early demise. Is it possible that a DOD rescue operation could become a new exit strategy for ailing new- economy types?
Further evidence that Iridium is really a government hatch. Hit up the full story here.


Well-rounded

Round IDE

For those of you who don't relish the idea of rounding your IDE cables and possibly damaging them, you can buy premade ones from Plycon, which have recently gotten a whole lot cheaper. And be sure to play with the fan switch at the top of the Plycon page.


Legislated morality takes a hit

Napster has stolen the brains of a chief counsel to the US Senate Judiciary Committee to help with its policy strategy.

Manus Cooney is to ditch his job as key policy and political advisor to committee chairman Senator Orrin Hatch, of Utah, to join the online file-swapping service next month.

For us proponents, it's sweet irony. Hit up the full story here.


Useless plug

Ahh

I learned this from the k00l d00ds at [H]ardOCP. "I am drinking Guinness, are you?" Feh.


De train

High train

Didn't believe me about the train in the air? Well here it is, passing above the door. The odd thing is that two seconds after I snapped this shot the thing just stopped as if someone pulled the plug. And I'm pretty sure I was the only person around.


Big bore

M203

Well, Tippmann has come up with a true under-gun paint grenade launcher aptly named the M203. Odd thing is, they don't have it on their Web page.


Hockey happenings

Coffey

Washington Capitals' Steve Konowalchuk (22) gets lifted up by Boston Bruins' Paul Coffey (74) during the third period of the Capitals' 3-2 win, Friday, Dec. 1, 2000, at the MCI Center in Washington. Coffey is sucking this year, playing far below the level that made him one of the top defensemen in NHL history. Tuesday he was waived by the Boston Bruins and will know by today whether any other team wants him. It would be foolish for some team to not pick him up.

In other news, Mario Lemieux is planning a comeback! Now that will be something, since the Pens really could use the help this year.

The "Backed Up News" Edition

Since the ftp server was down, I have catch up with all the content from yesterday, so here it comes.


Copper Goo

First there was the zinc heat sink compound (HSC) which was ok, then came silver HSC which is the crip shit, then for a while there was gold HSC which sucked. Now the newest HSC is the copper one. Does it suck or is it the shizbomb? Well it works well as antiseize compound but blows as a HSC. Read a review of one brand here.

PS if anyone wants to try some, Raul has a tube of copper antiseize which is probably the same thing.


Loud Ass Fans

Delta 60 HO

Both Raul and myself have Alpha PEP66 heatsink topped with the infamous Delta 60mm 38 cfm fan (available from Proton Computers). Trust us, it is a noisy ass fan, even when compared to a 120mm. The OIA has a review of its little brother, the Delta 60mm 30cfm. Check it out if you don't want your computer to sound like a hovercraft.


How to Win Friends and Influence People

The messy divorce of Intel and Rambus is only getting messier. Just like divorcees, they are blaming each other for their problems. Bet AMD and the DDR SDRAM companies are laughing all the way to the bank. Read the story here.


Tribes 2 News

More news about the upcoming game Tribes 2 is starting to trickle out. Raul tried the original Tribes and gave it a feh (that's because he sucked at it). The new game has much more eye candy for those too shallow to recognize Tribes's true brilliance. Read a review of a beta release of the game here.


Star Trek Meets Real Life

Ignore for the fact that a palm pilot looks awfully close to a communicator from Star Trek. It seems that the phrase "set you phaser for stun" might be closer than you think. HSV Technologies Inc. has come up with what is basically a wireless taser. Read about it here.


Way too Much Time on Their Hands

Need some aluminum water blocks for you peltier setup? How about melting down some automotive aluminum intake manifolds and casting you own. That's exactly what these tweakers did. Read their story here.

The "Rush Some Content" Edition

I really shouldn't do content before work because I always end up late for work. The things I do for our readers.


For Gary

Gary wants to do testimony for Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve. So here's the link to the offical government web site if you'd like to do some research on the topic.


Lara Croft's Big Tits

Core Designs, the people responsible for the latest iteration of Tomb Raider, announced some news regarding Lara's two most important assets. Currently, Lara's breasts are made of 500 polygons each. With new technology, they will now be boosted to 4,000 to 5,000 polygons. And you know what that means? Better breast. Don't believe me, read the story here.


Mafiaboy Strikes Again

Remember Mafiaboy? He got arrested for launching one of the first major DDoS attacks against commercial sites. He is going to trial soon, and like any good atty, his defense atty is looking to make a deal. And Mafiaboy's leverage in the deal? Making the IT world look really dumb. Read about his defense strategy here.


CD ROM Cup Holder

What to do with your POS cd rom drive? Turn it into something useful like a cup holder. Raul's POS DVD drive may be a candidate for such a transformation. Note to our readers, don't buy a Ricoh DVD/CDR drive. Read about the cd rom cup holder here.


For All the Hardcore Gamblers Here

Since Seannie came back from Vegas on the plus side, we present this link to you as a public service. Fairbet.org rates online gambling sites. So check them out before you give your CC number to one of the billions of gambling sites out there. Check out their site here.


Why Did They Bother?

MP3.com has announced their reopening of my.mp3.com. Now get this, you have to pay $50 a year to use their service and are limited to 500 cds online. If you want it free, you can use the ad based version, which is free, but only allows you to access 25 cds. My question to mp3.com is do they really think that people are going to buy into this? This it what happens when you let corporate interests control technological innovation. Read the story here.


Better stop now before I end up too late for work. No time for proofrading.

Erikah Badu's tribute to Marge Simpson. Click to enlarge.


Saw this one on [H]ardOCP. It's PCMonkey's computer top 20. He makes a bong reference, but everyone knows that the perfect bong cannot be purchased at a hardware store.


Devils roust Avs

'Twas relatively painful to watch if you are an Avs fan; the New Jersey Devils spanked Colorado 6-1 yesterday. Roy wasn't looking too hot, but to be fair, the rest of his teammates were sucking too. Oh well, they are still on top of the league though. Jersey is making quite a comeback, winning seven straight after being in a 7-game winless slump.


Tree tweakin'

Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3

Some fairly tweaky people went all out and put up a pretty nice Christmas display in the Advertiser Art Gallery where I work. I snapped a few pics as it was being built, which took the better part of a week. The centerpiece is a big old flocked tree, and there are sub-trees (heh reminds me of DOS) off to the sides. There are a bunch of electric trains going on in this setup too, the most tweaky of which is the one that runs around the perimeter of the room overhead. Look for the green arrows. You can kinda see the train itself in this picture.


Journalistic integrity (an oxymoron?)

HONG KONG (Reuters) -- A Hong Kong online newspaper has kicked up a fuss with its "investigative" report on the local sex trade that includes a video clip of a naked journalist and a prostitute engaging in sex.
Hey now, what's wrong with naked journalists? I know some journalists I'd like to see naked ... (and a whole bunch more I'd pay money not to, so maybe someone has a point here). Hit up the full story here.


Sumimasen ...

TOKYO (Reuters) -- A Japanese railway company will run special female-only carriages on its trains over this year's holiday season in an effort to protect women from drunken gropers.
Women getting decent treatment in Japan? The times, they are a-changin' m'boy! Hit up the full story here.


TF gallery

TF 1 TF 2 TF 3

  1. I'm not sure which one of the original TF's of the green apartment this is (Pookie. -Penfold), but here it is pictured in its natural state. Note the excellent camouflage, as it could pass for a mossy rock of sack of potatoes
  2. .
  3. Here's one of the kitties around my house, who thinks she owns my chair. One day, I will put that darn chair in my room. One day.
  4. Here's the cat that hangs around outside the house, literally. He thinks he's a dog and as a result loves humans but does not play well with his others.
Man, a lot of feline postings lately, we must be hard up for content. Or is it all a government hatch?

The "Raul Stole My Content" Edition

Hehe, but little did he know I have a secret stash of personals just for you.


POS PS

My POS CompUSA power supply decided to crap out on me yesterday, so it back to Raul's 235w PS. What I really need is a hardcore PS like this one reviewed by The Tech Zone. Maybe I don't need 530w of raw, unadulterated power, but I can say I have one of the biggest PS on the block.


Chinese Twiddling

Looks like the Chinese aren't content enough to be the most populous nation in the world, they want to do their own internet naming scheme. Leave it to the Chinese to try and pimp their population to get their way. Read the article here.

The only reason the Chinese has the balls to pull shit like this is because US government kowtows to the Chinese because businesses see 1.2 billion potential customers.


AOL Mobile

What to do with all those AOL CDs? Ultimate Chaos asked the same question. Why not build a car out of them, or at least cover a car with them? I can only thank these people for sparing the world from more AOLusers. Read about the contest here.


Really Really Dumb

As an attorney, you have to know what things you want to fight over. This is not one of them. Pay your fine and wear your MF seatbelt. Hell, they probably could have arrested her for not having insurance and driver's license. I'd much rather see them spend $110k on something with more legal significance.


Good Loser

As a former McDonalds employee, I can say that great closers are hard to find. Though we did seem to hire all the great losers at my store.


MONDAY, 12/4/2000, 1:00pm HST by Raul

Well, if the index page has been a little slow lately, it's because I fell behind on archiving somehow. So I took care of it in one fell swoop this morning.

You'll have to click on this one to view it, it's kind of irreverent, but funny. "Pastry" heh.


Hardware deals

Proton

Well, we're firm believers in the old adage, "One good turn deserves another," so since Proton Computers was kind enough to link to us and send some hits our way, we'll do our best to return the favor. Proton has been listed in our links section since this site's inception. Both of the webmasters have direct experience doing business with this company and can vouch for its efficacy and value. Proton ships US postal to Hawaii, and their prices are consistently low. And for the most part, they only carry good stuff.

If you've been paying attention, several Proton items have been listed in the "deals" list for a while. Go check 'em out.


POS USB NIC

Normally, the LittleWhiteDog news submissions are on the border of not being appropriate for the Tokenasians audience, but today they sent one that is appropriate analyzing the merits (and demerits) of a USB network interface and a PCI network card. I know at least one or two of you out there have had experience with or are using USB connections for RR (Yoshi).

As one of these user, I can say that they really do suck for gaming (either that or it's the RR itself). -Penfold


The hand that robs the cradle

From Tef, a Daily Radar column on old actors gettin' jiggy with actresses much younger than they are. They missed Leon in The Professional. Oh wait, all he was guilty of was a couple of leers.


Getting head

Give me head, till I'm dead

Well this little bit has been in the news lately, but I hadn't seen an actual picture of the darned thing until Ivo sent me this link. If you've seen it on TV before, well now you can stare at it for longer periods of time.


Ah shitty

A new site, Shittygift.com, promises to out the online purveyors-of-crap in the run up to Christmas.

The idea is that web surfers trying to get some shopping done online will inevitably run into bad products - either naff, outrageously overpriced, or poor quality. When you see an awful product for sale somewhere online, you let the site's editors know, and if it is sufficiently shitty, it will be featured and ridiculed on the site.

Hit up the full Register story here, or check out the site itself.


I swear I had nothing to do with it

Although I downloaded the client, I never installed it. Honest. Leechnet is no more, at least for now, probably thanks in part to the Reg.


Virtual stone throwing

Palestinian crackers have set up a portal that provides one-stop access to hacking tools and viruses, and tips on how to use the tools to mount attacks on Iraeli firms.

The move can be seen as a response to Israel's attempt to recruit computer security experts, including Analyzer, who successfully cracked into the Pentagon, as agents for Mossad tasked to defend the Jewish state's electronic infrastructure.

Something about this story struck me as odd/funny/amusing. Not sure what it is. Hit up the full story here.

Eat at Kobe

Unagi! Unagi! Unagi!

Here at Tokenasians, one of our favorite activities is eating, naturally. So in that vein, we strive to bring you the cullinary gems we run across in our everyday travails.

Today we have the Kobe steak house sushi bar 69 roll. For those of you unfamiliar with the 69 roll, it is a California roll (avocado, crab salad, cucumber) topped with unagi (conger eel, or freshwater eel). Unagi, as you know, usually comes prepared with a sweet teriyaki-type sauce, making shoyu unnecessary for this dish.

To properly enjoy the 69 roll, first order a beer or some other drink from Kyle the friendly bartender. Then ask your server for a 69 roll and watch the sushi chef go to work. That's a newer guy in the picture, but he does a fine job.

The Kobe 69 roll is $13 -- which might be thought of as steep for sushi, but it is quite large as sushi goes. You get two rolls, each with a half an unagi fillet on it, totaling a complete unagi filet. One of these could easily serve as a light to medium meal for an average eater.


Quick on the draw, I thought I'd be dead

Two 20-year-old men in rural western Canada could be banned from handling firearms after what police on Friday called a bizarre experiment.

It began when one of the men brought a military-style bullet-proof vest back to their Swan River, Manitoba, home. He then asked his room-mate to shoot him in the chest with a 22 caliber rifle.

What I find interesting is that the experiment with the .22 led them to think of trying it with a shotgun. Hit up the full story here.


From the "Why you kick my dog?" dept.

WINNIPEG (Reuters) -- A Canadian letter carrier faces suspension after he kicked an aggressive poodle while trying to deliver mail to the dog owner's house.

Paul Schellenberg, who has delivered mail for 24 years in Winnipeg, has been taken off his regular route and faces a ten-day suspension for kicking the dog.

I cracked up at the part where he goes, "It wasn't a poodle-punt or anything like that." Hit up the full story here.

For the Dune fans out there, SciFi Channel is showing their own version of Dune, supposed to be tonight. Read about it here. Hmmm, I'm all jones to burn some spice.


St. Chad

Seems like there is a St. Chad in the Catholic Church about 1400 years ago that had to put up with same shit as we do with the election. I'm inclined to let him decide who won. Read about St. Chad here.

Actually, my new theory of who should be president is neither of them. They should let the VPs be president and VP. Both are probably more respected and qualified than the presidential candidates.


I Don't Wanna Do Housework

Japanese males in Japan don't want to do housework even though most of the public thinks they should. Hmmm, maybe I can blame my aversion to housework on that. Anyways, read the story here.

Penfold must tout the FSAA his card does, because lord knows it is inferior in every other way.


I will now post the same article Penfold did, with my own spin on it (you can see where my loyalties lie):

Backspin

The Squab has a little write up of the Voodoo5 hidden surface removal. It is beta (read: doesn't work, and runs with even fewer applications than nVidia's FSAA), and the scores are useless and misleading, as the article clearly states. Read it here.

PS I have a Geforce 2 GTS now, and I enjoy smooth gaming at 1600x1200 resolution in most games, for Quake3, 1280x1024 32-bit. Ask Penfold if his machine can even handle that.


A real article

Kahuku beat St. Louis for the state prep football title, if you were sleeping the past few days. Glad to see St. Louis and their "football-is-our-reason-for-existence, fire-the-president-because-he-opposes-it" attitude get beat. Now what are they for the next year? Just a shitty private school with no chicks.


More later on when I wake up.
