Bit Torrent and Comcast
2007-08-21 00:39:00
According to the latest reports, Comcast is hindering Bit Torrent traffic and doing packet shaping. Their method of "throttling" torrent traffic is sending RST packets.These are the ports that will be affected: (Brian's BitTorrent FAQ and Guide)Prior to version 3.2, BitTorrent by default uses ports in the range of 6881-6889. As of 3.2 and later, the range has been extended to 6881-6999. (These are all TCP ports, BitTorrent does not use UDP.)Intrusion detection"A standard transmission control protocol (TCP) connection is established by sending a SYN packet to the destination computer. If the destination is waiting for a connection on the specified port, it responds with a SYN/ACK packet. The initial sender replies with an ACK packet, and the connection is established. If the destination computer is not waiting for a connection on the specified port, it responds with an RST packet.Most system logs do not log completed connections until the final ACK packet is received from the source.

Michael Vick will plead guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges.
2007-08-20 18:29:00
What a thug... He had it all, the power, the money, and the endorsements from his football career and he will loose most of it if not all of it over what? A dog fighting ring. A mere $20,000 dollars for literally millions of dollars from his athletic ability. He could have been a force for good in these times with all that he did do for the community, but the thug came out and ruined everything. Perhaps in time, people will forget about the dogs and he will go back to professional sports and people will care more for what he can do instead of what he did…This from the news today:By Andy Jenks, NBC12 NewsNFL star Michael Vick will plead guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges. Word of the plea agreement came late Monday afternoon at the federal courthouse.Vick had almost nowhere to run. Three former co-defendants all pleaded guilty.

Mack: On Reporting Hurricanes
2007-08-20 06:27:00
Thanks to Mack Hall for letting me publish this. My family as well as Mack Went through Rita and the Southeast Texas area was hit incredible and all you ever still hear about it Katrina… Secret National Press Guide for Reporting Hurricanes 1. Remember: hurricane reporting is always about Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans. 2. If you simply can't avoid mentioning the fact that a hurricane destroyed large parts of Mexico, Texas, western Louisiana, or Mississippi, skip over it lightly and get back to talking about existential angst in New Orleans. 3. Showing pictures of the dead in Jamaica is acceptable only if you make a New Orleans connection 4. Employ lots and lots of hyperbole and personification: "Mother Nature's Fateful Wrath of Hell-Storm Dean Bearing Down on Doomed Island Leaving a Swath of Destruction in His Wake" is good. Also remember that storms are always poising, bearing down, aiming, plowing, blasting, raki ...

Shopping?
2007-08-18 01:24:00
Isn’t it funny how in a marriage that if the man wants to purchase something the couple does not have the money, but if the woman wants it, they can purchase it? That men do not want their woman to change and the woman wants her husband to change? When I first got with my wife, I wore trendy cloths like Abercrombie and Fitch and I had ear rings as well. My wife hated the cloths and earrings and slowly but surely she got me to change to more "age appropriate" clothing…Dockers and Polo shirts.We went cloths shopping or my daughter several weeks ago and went into the old stores that I used to shop at and I said I wanted to get some of the clothing and to start to dress trendier. She laughed and said that I was old enough to be some of the people’s father that worked in the store. I felt insulted! I feel like I am still "young" and people guess me for my late 20s. She said that Mark dresses nicely and I said that he dresses trendier than I do; she disagreed with me. Mark is a doctor ...
