Does the bling bling sing sing for Intel?

By Rich Johnson on Published: February 6, 2007 at 7:10 pm

I am sorry for the title, I know it is horrible, but please bear with me and look past that 🙂

OK, here is what I want to know. Are you running Beryl with an Intel 945GM chipset? If you are running Ubuntu or Kubuntu please let me know. As most already know I am a KDE user so Kubuntu is my flavor of choice. So if you are using Kubuntu with a combination similar to mine, please let me know your experiences. Thank you so much!

OK, for those of you going “but nixternal you preach composite is crap,” I want to not only see the hoopla for myself, but Beryl is a positive thing for gaining switchers. I am keeping my free software stance, but I feel that in order to gain switchers we need to show them the bling bling. So if you are a FSF or GNU advocate, please don’t get into a pissing contest, as I agree with 99.9% of your philosophy. So hit me with the goods, it would be great to just leave a comment to this so I can bookmark and pimp it for those who might be wondering the same thing I am right now. Once again, thanks everyone, and you are the reason this community kicks ass!

UPDATE:  I apologize, but when I brought up the FSF/GNU stuff I forgot to add the part about ATI and NVidia driver. I apologize.

My hats off to you…

Ubuntu Canada. From the pictures it looks like you did a great job. I was not expecting to see this though.

Tux owns Bill

I did not know you guys had a Tux that damn big. I love how it is overlooking the MS display with a look of disgust on his face. I read the bogus publicity and I am sorry, that show of force I know grabbed more than 1 persons attention. If you successfully converted 1 person, I feel you did your job. That 1 person will got tell another person and so on. Great job guys. Hey, where can I get one of them big ass penguins? For those of you who want to see more pictures, check out the Flickr images they posted.

Vista Social Engineering

By Rich Johnson on Published: February 3, 2007 at 9:48 am

This is a new one to me and rather humorous for a hack. It seems Vista is flawed, go figure, where a cracker can gain access and run commands on your computer by:

SHOUTING COMMANDS THROUGH THE SPEECH-RECOGNITION FEATURE!

I thought I had heard it all. So if you stumble upon a website and hear “CONTROL ALT DELETE,” don’t panic, as it is meant for a Windows Vista user. This brings social engineering to the computer now, simply amazing. What’s next?

🙂
