Solve : White Space Update. Google in South Africa.?

Answer»

Google using ‘white spaces’ spectrum to deliver Wi-Fi to South African schools

As you recall, 'white spaces' is not the same as Wi-Fi in the literal way. Use of 'white space' is limited to some areas and under REGULATION. The greatest hope is for non-urban villages way out beyond TV BROADCASTS. White Space can open up large nrutal areas nto the Internet. White Space is a LOT more POWERFUL than  the 802.11 thing that is used for short distances. A While Space transponder could have a radius of over 14 miles when mounted on a small  hilltop.

Having said that, here is the new Google SA story:
http://news.yahoo.com/google-using-white-spaces-spectrum-deliver-wi-fi-024446644.html

Earlier a related story was published about Kenya
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2036390/google-microsoft-pilot-tv-white-space-projects-in-kenya-and-south-africa.html

Of curse, white Space can be used anyplace governments allow it. Here in the USA all Waite Space stuff has to be far away from the big cities.

Solve : Stop Watching Us?

Answer»

Recently I needed to download a program I had some lost.
I saw the message in the title above. The site ado said...
Quote

The recent revelations about the National SECURITY Agency’s surveillance apparatus, including using data from non-governmental business entities, if true, expose stunning abuses and violations of our basic Constitutional rights. Demand that the U.S. Congress reveal the full extent of the NSA’s data-collection (some say SPYING) PROGRAMS, and that Congress eliminate Constitutional violations. PETITION your government. (The right to petition government for redress of grievances is the right to make a complaint to, or seek the assistance of, one’s government, without fear of punishment or reprisals.) - See more at: http://blog.vuze.com/?utm_source=client&utm_medium=firstlaunch#sthash.VWtQwYiJ.dpuf
Huh 
As long as there are Governments, there will be people watching you. You can either RESIST or put up with it.

Solve : Facebook Continued!!!?

Answer»

For some unknown reason, I cannot log on today.  Yesterday morning there were no issues, and today it says " Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"  There is no issue with my connectivity, as I am able to log on here and any other site.  I was at work all day yesterday, no one else was home so there is no WAY any settings were changed, so I have no idea what is going on or how to fix it.
I downloaded Firefox and it made no difference...As an added update, the same problem is occurring with another computer in the house; a laptop, on which we tried accessing Facebook on Google Chrome and same results.....
So this makes me think, that SINCE I can get on the site through my phone, that it has to be something with my modem/router but since I have less than ZERO KNOWLEDGE on the subject, I don't know what else to do, or what to try, so any help would be soooo appreciated!No need at all for another Topic...

Solve : Discovery?

Answer»

German scientists dug 50 meters underground and discovered   
small pieces of copper. After studying these pieces for a   
long time, Germany announced that the ancient GERMANS,   
25,000 years ago, had a nationwide telephone network.   

Naturally, the BRITISH government was not that easily   
impressed. They ordered their own scientists to DIG EVEN   
deeper. 100 meters down, they found small pieces of glass,   
and they soon announced that the ancient Brits, 35,000   
years ago, had a nationwide fiber net.   

Irish scientists were outraged. They dug 200 meters down and   
found absolutely nothing. They concluded that the ancient   
Irish, 55,000 years ago, had cellular phones.

Solve : Mystical Ball?

Answer»

A magical crystal ball that knows what you are thinking.

http://www.mysticalball.com/  gosh it really worked. i was amazed for a while. then i figured out the trick lol Quote from: shadowfierce on December 05, 2007, 02:25:19 PM

gosh it really worked. i was amazed for a while. then i figured out the trick lol

Pray tell, what is the trick?It is imposable to get any numbers other than 0, 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, and 81.  Those numbers are always given a common symbol and the ball always shows the symbol.  Each time you load the game, new symbols are assigned to the numbers.  To confuse things, the common symbol is also randomly assigned to some other numbers.  This GIVES the illusion that all the symbols are assigned randomly.
I STILL like this "mystical" ball:

Solve : Underground?

Answer»

Anyone here read the book Underground?No, who wrote it?Suelette Dreyfus. It's an awesome book about the crackdown on Australian, US, British, Canadian, and other country's hackers. It's a really good book, but on my palm pilot it's about 2000 pages.I have seen a video, which I believe was titled: "Underground" about what you have just described.

(Yes, I know... younger generations never read anymore)

Most of the documentation on any "Crackdown" on anything is usually published as a preventive sort of thing, in truth, there is NO STOPPING what they call "Cyber Terrorism". Much as there is no stopping anything else they claim to "Crackdown" on, its all designed to instill fear as a preventive action. Nothing more, 'else it wouldn't be published, the truth never makes it to paper on a mass scale. Anyway, probably a decent book/video, but its like I said, most of that crap is manipulated to keep people scared to do anything other than buy more crap to make themselves feel safe thinking governments are "Cracking down" on terrorism, or "Cracking down" on gang violence, or what have you.Lets demonstrate how the government watches the internet:

Black web computer, here we come

TERRORIST! SPACE NEEDLE! BOMB!

Being as this went out on my connection, the Communications monitoring network in Southern Washington will pick up on it... and the topic will be viewed by the government.

I hate it when admins are right, because threads get closed. 

Do they?When they are right about no-longer-useful threads, yes.*whispers* Let's talk about the chat again!

Oh yea, gotcha.Where did that chat take place?  The chat BUTTON on the main page hasn't worked for me in the past.  Must I be viewing it on a PC?Nope, I'm using a laptop. Or do you mean you're using a Mac?

Just CLICK on "Join the chat" on the bottom of the forum index... And it will take you right to the chat.

Have you got an IRC client?I am using a mac.  I know nothing about IRC clients, so I'm guessing I don't have one.  When I click on the button, it takes me to a page with lots of blue bars where it looks like TEXT could be filled in, but I'm not sure how to say anything.  I've never chatted before.Not giving out or anything, but I think it WOULD be fair to start a new TOPIC now.

New Robot
 

Japan might be ahead of the REST of the world when it comes to robots, but you can be sure that China is not very far behind. China's latest humanoid robot is sexy enough to turn heads with its realistic-looking body (unlike Barbie's), but it is not CAPABLE of the level of SOPHISTICATION provided by the Japanese Actroid female robot just yet. I find it strange that China, being an extremely patriotic country, would name its robot Dion INSTEAD of something more localized like Chun-Li. Dion can currently sing and move a bit of her lips as though she suffered from a massive stroke. Check out a video of Dion in action here.

Edit: Below is an example of the robot technology used to create the above mentioned.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez0JVeSQ0tM

Solve : Earth-like Planet?

Answer»

Life on the New Planet?


On Tuesday, a team of European astronomers announced that they had not only found a new planet circling a comparatively nearby star in the constellation Libra, but that that planet is unexpectedly Earth-like. Like Earth, it orbits a comfortable distance from its sun; like Earth, it maintains a surface temperature somewhere between 32 and 104 DEGREES Fahrenheit. Most importantly, like Earth, it could easily HARBOR surface water. In the biological arithmetic we know best, warmth and water often equal life.

More here
http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1614620,00.htmlCool.

If they find evidence of an advanced civilization, I will be very amazed.  You never know, I mean think about this; if the dinosaurs had not died out can your imagine what kind of life would be on this planet today, perhaps monkeys would not have evolved into humans and we would be dealing with a very different kind of life.

So just image what could be on other worlds.

Hmmm...good point.

However, I partly meant it would be amazing if NASA found something.  Well you never no, i doubt it will be in or life time sadly. Very interesting.  Maybe now we can ditch this dirtball and go SCREW up a new planet!I'm up for that!Pity we were born so soon, because the future explorers will be like the cowboys of the Wild West, but seeking out new planets to claim their own instead of venturing DEEPER into the new world (America).

Europa, Jupiter's smallest moon, might not only sustain but foster life, according to the research of a University of Arizona professor.
Richard Greenberg, a professor of planetary sciences and member of the Imaging Team for NASA's Galileo Jupiter-orbiter spacecraft, reported in the February issue of American Scientist that a combination of several factors could CREATE habitable niches.

Europa, similar in size to Earth's moon, has been imaged by Galileo for the last 4 years. Its surface, a frozen crust of water, was previously thought to be tens of kilometers thick, denying the oceans below any exposure....

Answer»

After every flight, Quantas pilots fill out a FORM, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about 

problems with the aircraft. The mechanics CORRECT the problems, document their repairs on the form, 

and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews 

lack a sense of humor. Here are some maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) 

and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers. By the way, Quantas is the only 

major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.

Remember it takes a COLLEGE degree to fly an airliner but only a high school diploma to fix one...   

Reassurance for those of us who fly routinely in our jobs.

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, EXCEPT auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.

P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.

im seeeing the same number EVERYWHERE like i always look at the clock when theres this number in the time im always seeing it! i just say it 2s on another forum about spirt stuff looking for the answer of what it MEANS anyone know what it means to look at the same number everywhere? mabye im just parinoid though cause ive been starting to see it moreCoincidence......... 

 That's one explanation.   

I offer nothing more concrete, EXCEPT to suggest that it's up to you to decide if it's anything meaningful to you, CR.

You are certainly not the first to notice this type of phenomenon.You watched too many episodes of "Lost"....LOOOOOOOOOLI've seen not one single episode of "Lost."  My ideas come from other sources.

Coincidence.  Most likely.

Maybe CR's mind / subconscious / unconscious is "fixed" on that number for some reason, so "its" making sure he sees it.

I make my nebulous suggestions because we are so quick to dismiss, so quick to explain.

Our minds are bigger than our brains; our spirits bigger than our bodies.Three posts in three different THREADS by Iceman.

Answer»

Warning..!!!!                Warning..!!!!                Warning..!!!!
Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a PUBLIC parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home,it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend told me not to
stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of thecar Then we received this email yesterday: 'WARNING FROM POLICETHIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MENBEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--
NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'Heads up everyone! Please, keep this CIRCULATING... You walkacross the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. Youstart the engine and shift into Reverse. When you look into the rearview MIRROR to back out of yourparking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middleof the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock yourdoors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (orwhatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reachthe back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear outof nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practicallymow you down as they speed off in your car. And GUESS what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car.So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, yourmoney, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity arenow compromised!
BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.
If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, justdrive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that youread this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends andfamily, ESPECIALLY to women. A purse contains all kinds ofpersonal information and identification documents, and youcertainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.
Please keep this going

Solve : Dr. Seuss Explains Computers?

Answer»

Dr. Seuss Explains Computers

Quote

If a PACKET Hits a pocket on a socket on a port
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your CURSOR finds a menu item followed by a dash
and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash
and your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash
then the situation's hopeless and your systems gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house
says the network is connected to the button on your mouse
but your packets want to tunnel on another protocol
that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall
and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss
so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse
then you may as well REBOOT and go out with a bang
'cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk
and the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risk
then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM
Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom.
Heh, not bad.Old. Quote from: BC_Programmer on November 18, 2008, 02:47:04 PM

Solve : The Crying, Whining *censored*-Fest (against Windows Updates)?

Answer»

I've DONE my daily job which is scratching the skin off my face, banging my fists and head on the keyboard and cursing REALLY REALLY bad words at my computer when it crashed just because I shut it down when it was doing an update.

Who the bloody *censored* downloads updates at about 10:30 PM - 11:00 PM or IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? Who and where are they? Gonna kick their a##es!!

But seriously, one connection stall and you get an error from this piece of-- horse manure, that once you click 'OK' to (because it's the only option (that has not been grayed out)), shuts down your connection, and THEN, you have to go through all these instructions to prevent - ONLY prevent - it from happening again, only to get it again a few days after you 'fix' the problem.

*censored*, I can't believe I got owned by a F**KING ERROR. If there weren't any laws saying you couldn't, I would've been going on a murdering rampage by now.

 dude, calm down. what windows system do you have Dairyman?

In windows vista, when computer has some windows updates going on, I can have the computer shut down AFTER the windows updates have completed. So it finishes all the updating that can be done without rebooting required and then just shut down.

Hey, just get some windows restoration going and you probably will be okay!It doesn't even WARN me that it's gonna be checking for updates or installing the updates. I'm using Windows XP (Btw, I managed to get my CD-ROM drive fixed with a little HELP from my relatives, I'll update that on my SPECS. tonight) with a wireless broadband connection (which is literally dial-up, just given the name broadband by the ISP, cheap bastards. The error message just appears randomly, and stays on the screen. I would've killed myself if my computer was running my life support, that's for sure.You should go into Control Panel and then go into Windows security center and choose " notify me but dont automatically download or install them".Ok I've calmed down now. I disabled the Automatic Updates service.lol, I have that whole system disabled. Windows FIREWALL, windows security center, windows update... all disabled.

Ahhh, the joy of not being hassled by BS of this sort.

so you shut down the whole system of windows updates. Well, at least, just visit windows update at least once a month on patch tuesday at worst.erm, no.

SP3 is all I need.


well, and my hardware firewall, and a few scans every once in a while.

Although when I do have problems- only 2 infections in the last year, only one required recovery console to manually  delete WLNotify hook dlls, the rest were easily removed with MBAM.that's good.

Solve : 1500 Watch as Teen Commits Suicide in Front of His Webcam?

Answer» http://snipr.com/6wpwr



Abraham K. Biggs, known as CandyJunkie on the BodyBuilding.com forums that he frequented, had threatened to commit suicide many times. However, last WEEK, he really meant it. And so it was that Abraham Biggs downed an overdose of anti-depressent medications, and hundreds of people watched his webcam while he died.

The video from Abraham Biggs’ webcam was also posted on Justin.TV. It has since been taken down, but while up the description read:

“CandyJunkie was a regular poster on Bodybuilding.com, and a bit of an attention *censored*, but so is half the misc section of bb.com. CandyJunkie, though, posted a lot about taking depressants and muscle relaxers. He made threads [sic] threatening to OD on these drugs several times but never followed through until Wednesday, November 19th 2008. Live on justin.tv he overdosed and seemed to fell [sic] ASLEEP. He passed away some time later as about a hundred or so miscers watched. Local authorities were eventually notified, but were hours too late. Rest in PEACE.”

In reality, it is estimated that as many as 1500 people watched over the course of the twelve hours between when Biggs stated his intention and took the overdose, and when he died and was discovered by police. Some people actually egged him on, others discussed whether he had taken enough medication to actually kill him. But nobody bothered to alert authorities until it was too late. By the time someone contacted the forum administrator with what was going on - and the BodyBuilding.com administrator contacted the police where Abraham was, in Broward County, Florida - Abraham Biggs was dead.

The last image on Abraham’s webcam, before it was taken down, was of the police entering, weapons drawn, and then finding the body.

This is a sad case, on all levels. And it raises the question - what, if any - responsibility did those watching, the BodyBuilding.com administrators, and the Justin.tv adminstrators, have?

What do you think?
Were the Administrators watching?

In my opinion, when someone says they are going to commit suicide, you need to talk to them.
Talk to them, and keep talking to them, even if your parents are yelling at you to get off the phone/computer or whatever.
If you decide that they are really serious, you ASK them how and when they are going to do it.
Then you call 911, and don't feel bad about it, and you explain the situation.

But, the number one thing: Dont feel bad about it if they do manage to off themselves. It was their choice, bad one or not.


I think its HARD for some people to take things they see over the Internet seriously.
Quite frankly, just thinking about it, if I were watching, I would make the guess that he had faked it, and I personally would probably not have contacted the police. woa thats sad just really sadWhen I was 14-->43 years ago.Me and a friend were walking to the bowling alley.We decided to stop and ask Jacky Bryant if he wanted to hang out with us.

The front door of his home was glass at the top half so we could see inside.

He was sitting in an easy chair with a 22 rifle between his legs and had put it under his neck and shot up.It killed him instantly.

Wow! after 43 years I still found this hard to type...

God Bless Jacky Bryant.woa that musta been tramatizing

Hi everyone....

I haven't been on the forum lately because my internet is broken [cry] [/cry].

So all I'm left with is dial up, but I'm sure you all know what dial-up is like, so that sorts that. I'll just have to wait.

See y'all soon....... Do not: Leave Forever
Do: Return Tomorrow

Just for Dialup:
You can disable user Avatars in your PROFILE, making the whole forums run a lot faster on Dialup.

Enter your Profile, and go to "Look and Layout Preferences"
Just check: "Don't show users' avatars." and you can ALSO disable Signatures if you would like. awww poor kpac call ur interenet COMPANY and yell at them loudly untill they fix it Quote from: Zylstra on November 21, 2008, 11:18:36 AM

I have the internet on the home PC now, just have to get it sorted on my laptop now!woot woot!! so your coming back?What's so bad about dial-up?It's slow- but obviously only to those who keep images, flash, and other junk enabled.My first 4 years of internet was dial-up.Good as gold.

Same as nothing wrong with my Dell GX110..just slower.

I do like my DSL but, the size of downloads now could take 3
days or more with dialup. Quote from: computeruler on December 02, 2008, 01:40:26 PM
