It is a long time since I read this stuff, but I stumbled upon a paper discussing the non-executable stack on OSX (a trick to prevent buffer/stack overflow exploits). Ah, the good old days. And with all this markup, it’s good to see that Phrack magazine stuck to their format. It’s still the same as over 20 years ago… Well written articles, focussed on correctness and content, for the coders out there who are not afraid experimenting with some assembly. The amount of (nightly) hours that go into the research and proof of these articles are unbelievable, and it shows.
From wikipedia: “A lolcat is an image macro featuring a photograph of a cat with a humorous and idiosyncratic caption”.
You can find good lolcats all over the web, and I just found out that you don’t even have to have photoshop to do this. Make your own lolcat with the lolcat builder. Go with Impact and outline, this will give the best “real lolcat” feeling.
Have fun!
So you are on a nice forum, discussing stuff with people you don’t even know, or even don’t care to get to knowing. They’re just there to exchange thoughts with, and you don’t even care that he’s called “g0d1s.4.f4g” (or worse), and you even don’t know if he is a she. Then in comes this guy and actually uses a readable name, tells you who he is, and talks like he talks in real life. No shorthand, no l33t sp33k, just plain English with typo’s, like any normal, sane person. Even worse, he claims to be a celebrity, wanting to talk to some of his fans without all the security, press and other stuff.It sounds too good to be true, but for Die Hard fans out there, it has really happened!. Complete with screenshots of a video iChat session where Bruce Willis prooves who he is to non-believers.
The thread itself is rather lengthy (more than 1000 posts) and contains a lot of off-topic childish crap before the iCat moment, and after that contains even more crap with people posting useless “Oh my god” messages. But there are some funny comments if you have the time to skim through.
As I’m recording A-Team episodes, stripping the commercials and transferring them to my PSP for later viewing on the plane, I came across some funy quotes:
| Hannibal: | Now. We can do this the hard way or the easy way. In about a minute, I and my three friends are gonna unleash on you your worst nightmare. You’re gonna wish the earth opened up underneath your feet and swallowed you whole. |
|---|---|
| Bad Guy: | What’s the easy way? |
| Hannibal: | That was the easy way. |
Just after the tires of the Van are shot by a local gang, the Scorpions:
| Scorpion: | Car trouble? |
|---|---|
| Hannibal: | No thanks. We got some. |
| Bad Guy: | You’re all dead men. |
|---|---|
| Face: | Really? Gee, I didn’t think I would feel this good after I was dead. I want to thank you all for coming to the funeral. |
Almost Monty Python like quotes, and that for an American Television Series! Nice. You like it or you hate it.
Pssst. If you haven’t got the themesong yet, The A-Team soundtrack torrent is here…
I just checked out the new Dutch CC CD/DVD released under the Creative Commons license. While I was there I found a great piece of music done by Monokai. It’s kind of old C64 game like music, you like it or hate it. I went to check out Monokai’s website and I’ve spent a good 30 minutes playing with it.
The website is filled with music, photo’s and electronic games, and is fun to play with. Go check it out! Nice quality!
Hi, do you also think Windows Vista gets too much credit for stealing Apple’s Mac OSX, a.k.a. Tiger? Here’s a funny little movie on nytimes.com with proof that Windows is “not” an OSX ripoff. Very funny.
Weet je niet waarop je wilt stemmen? Het is nog niet te laat om even de www.stomwijzer.nl raadplegen. Op eigen risico uiteraard 🙂
I noticed the start of a “Monitor Chain” on the “Google Blogoscoped” blog. I liked the idea, so here it goes:
Please photograph this blog post (including your monitor and its immediate surroundings), and post the resulting pic on your blog. Then the next person photographs your blog post and posts it, and so on. Leave your post URL in the comments of the blog you photographed so people will be able to follow the chain back up (zoom out), and link your image to the post you photographed… this way people will be able to zoom into the monitors by clicking. (Use rel=”nofollow” on the links, this is for fun only.) Post these instructions in your blog post as well.
Have fun!
Note 11 November 2007: This post has been migrated from blogger.xs4all.nl, the original chain is probably now broken. Sorry.
