Climate bait

.
In the following video you can see news articles and a petition made by thousands of American
scientists, even intercepted emails showing that the facts are being manipulated to support the
idea that climate change is product of CO2 emissions in order to create a new global tax, the
carbon tax.
The climate change issue is being used as an excuse to make more money, is clear to see it
analyzing the results from the last Copenhagen meeting, where they only agreed to lent money
to 3rd world countries "to stop CO2 emissions".

Please use pause and read the quoted articles in this video.

Also happy new year for all of you, turn off the fucking TV and never stop using your head.

Collapse by Michael Ruppert

.
I just finished watching Collapse, basically it's a one hour interview to Michael Ruppert
in which he shows how dependent is our civilization on oil, how we are running out of it
drastically and what will happen and what you can do when the shit hits the fan.
He also analyzes the problems with the "alternative energies" and also shows that the lack of oil
isn't only a energetic issue because we use oil and oil derivatives in every fucking thing
constructed by any human being.
I really liked it and strongly recommend it, it will make you think...

Offensive Security Exploit Database

.








Probably most of you know Offensive Security guys because of their security Linux distro
"Backtrack", they have a new project, called "Exploit Database", and is as it name shows an
alternative to milw0rm or inject0r.

The project started in November, and it has some really nice features, for instance you can see
the exploits source code with colors like in a compiler which makes it easier to read, you can
download the exploits using your SVN client and also pressing a button you can download the
exploit or the vulnerable application if its available and doesn't violate the copyright.
The search engine its more powerful than the one used in milw0rm and it seems to work like
charm.

I think this project has a bright future

Check it at http://www.exploit-db.com/

Thanks Powertech for the heads up ;)

Fede Alvarez’s ‘Panic Attack’

.
Fooking awesome!
The short film Panic Attack has garnered Uruguayan filmmaker Fede Alvarez an unusual amount
of attention in Hollywood. As Borys Kit recently reported, Alvarez started getting calls almost
immediately, and is already in LA being courted for upcoming projects. Rumor has it that the pic
was made for about $300.

Hair pins and wafer locks

.
Hair pins are a lockpicker's best friend, there is nothing better except for the
keys to open handcuffs, and today I was bored at work and discovered a cool new way
to use a hair pin.

My desk drawer has a wafer lock as most drawers have, those locks are really easily opened
using a technique called raking, rapidly sliding the pick past all the wafers, repeatedly, in order to
bounce the wafers until they reach the shear line.

To do that technique you need to use a pick called "rake"






















If you inspect a hair pin you'll see it has a serrated side, the idea is to use that to rake the lock,
but if you bend the hair pin like in the following picture you can use the pin as a torsion bar too.




























The idea is to insert the bent hair pin turning it like a key but also raking it in the lock, you'll
need to use both hands to do that, one hand in each end of the hair pin.
Here is a picture ...




























Man this shit works like charm, you should try it, and remember to always carry a
hair pin with you :D

How does a Glock works?

.
Glock is a weapons manufacturer headquartered in Deutsch-Wagram, Austria, named after its
founder, Gaston Glock. While the company is best known for its line of striker-fired polymer-framed
pistols, it also produces field knives and entrenching tools.

Glock handguns are currently used by a majority of US law enforcement agencies and military
personnel. Glock handguns are also very popular with civilians for personal protection and practical
shooting, and the company sponsors a competitive shooting team which travels worldwide. It
currently produces 39 models of handguns. The US-led Multi-National Force - Iraq has equipped
the Iraqi military and the Iraqi National Police with Glock sidearms.

Call Of Duty 6: Modern WarFAIL 2

.
Thanks Skidrow for letting me see how shitty is this game for free... Now that I played it, its not
only the lack of dedicated servers what bothers me... This is the review I posted it on Gamespot
I gave it a 2...

No dedicated servers, no tilt head keys, extremely short missions, crappy story line

This game its a total rip off, I never waited for something so much to feel as disappointed as with
this aberration.
Infinity ward totally destroyed the franchise.
The story line its hard to follow, you just start in some place and you just need to follow your
partners, killing the guys around.
From a used shell picture they know you have to go to a Brasilian favela.
You can't turn off the music or modify SFX, voice and music volumes.
You don't have the E and Q keys to tilt your head to peek at corners.
You don't have a console anymore
You don't have dedicated servers
You have a HUD telling you the distance to your next point and an arrow pointing at it, and you
can't turn that crap off!!
I HATE having a HUD, I don't want to see anything on the screen, just above your partners
heads you have BIGGGG signs saying "FOLLOW", "COVER".

BAD BAD BAD I HATE IT

I just give it a 2 because I liked the graphics.

Puaj I think about this game and I wanna puke.
Don't buy this, it would be the worst 60 bucks ever spent.

Fedor rulez!

.



























This past Saturday Brett Rogers dared to challenge the best fighter in MMA history, Fedor
Emelianenko, it was the best fight of the year, and Fedor demonstrated again that his right hand
is lethal.

Fight recap:

Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers

Round 1: Both feeling each other out and send a couple quick shots. Rogers lands a jab and is
moving quick. Fedor is already bleeding from the shot to the nose. He takes Rogers down but
Rogers gets right back up and pushes Fedor against the cage. He knees Fedor in the legs. Both
are bouncing well with good conditioning. Then Fedor catches him with a punch. Fedor is lighting
quick up close. Brett sends some shots, and escapes an arm bar. Fedor stands and tries a flying
punch, narrowly missing Rogers.

Round 2: Fedor has Rogers against the cage. Fires off a round of punches. Rogers takes the pain
likes it's nothing. He sends a couple knees to Fedor's ribcage. Both circle again and boom... Fedor
nails Rogers with a right. Rogers collapses to the mat. Fedor comes in to finish and after a couple
more shots, McCarthy steps in to call it. The Russians go absolutely mad. Fedor wins by TKO.

In the post fight interview, Fedor is soft spoken and polite. He thanks the crowd for their
support. The man is un-real. Completely UN-real.

Now, it's Rogers turn to address the crowd. He says he's ready for the rematch. He seems
pissed-off. The crowd boo him. He doesn't care.

Fall Of The Republic

.

I just finished watching this documentary, some of you might think its for "Tin Foil Hat" people,
but there are some facts you can't deny. I really enjoyed it, and Facebook blocked it because of
"abusive".
It talks about how mass media manipulates your head meanwhile international banks act as
puppet masters controlling presidents, how civilians are indoctrinated to spy on their neighbors,
and the most shocking one was the Al Gore's "carbon tax" a tax to carbon dioxide emissions... so
you can be taxed because of breathing.

So... turn off the fooking TV and start using your brain.

Cheerz



Fall Of The Republic documents how an offshore corporate cartel is
bankrupting the US economy by design. Leaders are now declaring that world
government has arrived and that the dollar will be replaced by a new global currency.

President Obama has brazenly violated Article 1 Section 9 of the US Constitution by
seating himself at the head of United Nations' Security Council, thus becoming the
first US president to chair the world body.

A scientific dictatorship is in its final stages of completion, and laws protecting
basic human rights are being abolished worldwide; an iron curtain of high-tech
tyranny is now descending over the planet.

A worldwide regime controlled by an unelected corporate elite is implementing a
planetary carbon tax system that will dominate all human activity and establish a
system of neo-feudal slavery.

The image makers have carefully packaged Obama as the world's savior; he is the
Trojan Horse manufactured to pacify the people just long enough for the globalists
to complete their master plan.

This film reveals the architecture of the New World Order and what the power elite
have in store for humanity. More importantly it communicates how We The People can
retake control of our government, turn the criminal tide and bring the tyrants to
justice.

Failure To Field The Right Robots Costs Lives

(via National Defense Magazine)



Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch, commanding general
of Fort Hood, Texas, and the Army’s 3rd
Armored Corps, has lost 155 soldiers in
combat in Iraq. The lives of 80 percent,
or 122 of them, would have been saved if
the right robots had been in place, he said
at a recent industry conference.

“There’s got to be a sense of urgency
here. I am so tired of going to
[technology] demonstrations,” Lynch
said.

Not only has the Army failed to field the
right kinds of robots that would save war
fighters’ lives, it has not fielded any
robots to Iraq or Afghanistan at all, he
said at the Association for Unmanned
Vehicle Systems International conference
in Washington, D.C.




That claim may have come as a shock to those at the conference. Hundreds of unmanned aerial
vehicles fly over the two theaters of operations today. The exploits of the explosive ordnance
disposal teams and the robots they employ to clear roadside bombs are well known. But Lynch
doesn’t consider those devices robots because they require humans to control them remotely.

“I’m talking about a system that has a certain degree of autonomy,” he said.

Lynch has unique credentials he can use to back up his claims. He has commanded troops in
combat and holds a master’s degree in robotics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He came to the conference in the nation’s capital to deliver a few blunt messages: that the
military has failed to field life-saving robotics technologies; research and development dollars are
being spent unwisely; and many of the robotics systems that could be saving lives are mature
enough to be fielded today.

“Senior leaders are told they have robots in the battlefield. So the senior leaders think we don’t
need any more,” he said.

Robot developers expressed support for Lynch.

“I love Gen. Lynch because he brings his absolute passion as a commander… for how important
it is for us on the acquisition side to get the tools in the hands of the war fighter,” said Marine
Corps Col. James Braden, project manager at the robotics systems joint project office. His
organization is responsible for fielding non-EOD ground robots in the military.

Braden said he has had several philosophical discussions with Lynch on the definition of the word
“robot” and whether any had been fielded in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Lynch likened the military’s research and development robotics strategy to fertilizing a flower
bed. If one doesn’t have enough fertilizer, it’s not productive if one spreads it so thin that nothing
will grow. The gardener has to concentrate his limited resources on a few flowers, he said.

There is so much money being thrown at high-flying ideas that essential life-saving robotics
technologies are not receiving the dollars they need, he added.

“Everybody has got an idea and I’ve seen these ideas for the past 25 years,” Lynch said. “You
can’t make everybody happy. You got to be able to say, ‘That’s interesting, but not that
interesting. But, by God, this is important.’”

There are four applications where the military needs to place all its robotics research and
development funds, he said.

The first is route clearance.

The armored Buffalo and Husky vehicles are excellent at clearing routes, he said. The problem is
that they have soldiers inside them.

“So when they come across that [improvised explosive device] and the IED detonates, there is a
real good chance that a soldier was killed or severely injured,” Lynch said. “We’ve got to get
those kids out of those route clearance vehicles, and I know the technology today allows us to do
that.”

Col. Greg Gonzalez, project manager of the Army’s unmanned aerial systems office took
exception to Lynch’s assertion that unmanned systems hadn’t been applied effectively to the
IED problem.

Lynch’s assertion ignores the work that unmanned aerial vehicles have done in spotting
insurgents planting roadside bombs and then calling in ground forces to react, Gonzalez said at
the conference. “To say that we haven’t provided funding or capability to do those types of
things is a little shortsighted.”

The second application Lynch wants to see more focus on is persistent stare.

To defeat the IED threat, soldiers are tasked to keep watch on “hotspots” — places where
insurgents repeatedly go back to plant the roadside bombs.

Lynch said seven soldiers under his command were killed and three were captured because they
were out watching IED hotspots. “That didn’t have to happen.”

Robots can take the soldiers’ places, he said. They can continuously keep watch on an area, and if
nefarious activity is spotted, “We can take appropriate action. … We can kill those bastards
before they plant the IEDs,” he added.

That includes mounting a weapon on the robot, he said.

Armed ground robots have sparked controversy during the last two years. Army combatant
commanders have asked for armed tele-operated ground robots, and one version, the special
weapons observation remote reconnaissance direct action system, or SWORDS, was fielded. The
concept was to have the robots venture out into exposed areas and fire weapons at targets
without exposing troops on the ground to danger. However, these robots were never used as
intended. Senior Army officers ordered that they be stationary and placed behind sandbags.

Lynch insisted after the speech that this technology is ready to be used.

“There’s a resistance saying that armed ground robots are not ready for the battlefield. I’m not
of that camp,” he told National Defense.

That includes the robot autonomously firing the weapon or, in other words, shooting without a
human in the decision loop, he said. SWORDS never had that feature, and the idea of armed
autonomous robots firing guns on the battlefield remains controversial. But Lynch was steadfast.

“I believe we can do automatic target recognition ... to allow that capability. Autonomously,” he
repeated.

Lynch’s third priority is “convoy following.” The military needs to move massive quantities of
supplies overland, including fuel and water. Insurgents have taken advantage of this by planting
roadside bombs. These trucks can drive themselves, Lynch said.

“Why in the world does every cab have to be occupied by a human being?” he asked. “Why can’t
we just have the lead vehicle manned? I’ve seen that technology demonstrated many times over
the last 20 years, but it’s still not fielded.”

The top three requirements on his list are all IED related, Lynch noted. Studies show that this
will be the insurgent’s weapon of choice for the foreseeable future.
Indeed, recent casualty reports from Afghanistan have borne this out. The Taliban has taken up
this tactic, and roadside bomb attacks have increased as troops have surged into the provinces
this summer.

Furthermore, Lynch said, studies have also shown that the Army will be deploying 10 brigades
in the next 10 years. Investing in these counter-IED technologies and fielding them as soon as
possible will save lives, he said.

The final requirement is for a “robotic wingman” — an unmanned vehicle that will mirror the
movements of others with a certain degree of autonomy.

It’s wrong to assume that major combat operations will never return and future battles will all
mimic the Iraq insurgency, he said. Combat vehicles such as tanks can operate with autonomy
alongside manned vehicles.

“If you have four tanks in a platoon, and each has four kids in a tank, is that really necessary?”

Braden said when Lynch’s troops deploy next year he will receive some of the technologies on his
wish list.

“Will they be as good as he wants? Will they meet his metrics? Never.” Lynch will continue to
ask program managers to push the technology forward, Braden said.

Convoy-following and persistent stare, “I think we can do. Route clearance is going to be a really
tough technical challenge,” he added.

The wing-man concept? “That’s probably closer to doable. We need to push testing to show
people what we got,” Braden said.

“The resourcing will be a challenge because as good as we get, as quick as we get, we still have to
marry the requirement to the resource. But I am optimistic we can give him some great tools to
take forward into an operational assessment.”

Lynch, despite his stated weariness of technology demonstrations, set up a “robotics rodeo” at
Fort Hood the first week of September. He wanted vendors to come to the base and show their
wares as long as they fit into the four “life-saving” categories.

Key to the rodeo’s success would be the presence of decision makers who could see for
themselves that these technologies were mature and ready to go into battle.

“If we’re not fielding, we’re failing,” said Lynch, repeating an acquisition community mantra.

Braden agreed. “We need people like him pushing. We need the passionate three-stars to stand
behind how important this is. We need to push the things he’s asking for.”

A year ago I decided to start with this blog, and here still I am.

When I begun I had no fooking clue what I would do with it, and I still don't know :)
As you can see if you came here often, I just share whatever I found cool, that's why sometimes
you found lots of security, then lots of lockpicking, then lots of robotics, and then I can't believe
how geek I can be and start sharing some music or non computer related stuff.

This year's top post was the one about milw0rm going offline... Until this day, milw0rm goes up
and down, but I got tired of updating that post, but you know that you can go to inject0r.com
or just download the offline mirror file. Each time milw0rm goes down I see a massive increase
of visits, thanks milw0rm :D

Ok not much else to say, you know how to contact me, thanks for coming and remember...

The cake is a lie!

Applause For Finland: First Country To Make Broadband Access A Legal Right

.
Kudos to the Finnish government, which has just
introduced laws guaranteeing broadband access to
every person living in Finland (5.5 million people, give
or take).

This is reportedly a first worldwide.

Starting July 2010, every person in Finland will have
the right to a one-megabit broadband connection as an
intermediate step, says the Ministry of Transport and
Communications. By the end of 2015, the legal right will
be extended to an impressive 100 Mb broadband
connection for everyone.

According to Wikipedia, approximately 79 percent of
the Finnish population use the Internet. Finland had
around 1.52 million broadband Internet connections by
the end of June 2007 or around 287 per 1,000
inhabitants.

.
Hi guyz, long time no see...

Today I would like to introduce you Jaimie, a guy posted on youtube "This guy is
Chuck Norris in living flesh" and I totally agree, Jaimie is the mad scientist you
wanted to be when you were a child, he is constructing a giant robot... in his
lab... In an hangar... in his mountain... and he's vlogging the process!! (yes is
Vlogging because he does it on Video biatchessssssss)

















Let's see what he posted about it in his blog a few months ago:
"Holey canolly, life is incredible. I can't believe I'm almost finished building a giant
robot. .....in a huge airplane hanger workshop ...on top of my own mountain. If you
told my I'd be doing this when I was a kid, I would have been like, "No SHIIIII...
REALLY??? So all those adults that said life gets boring were lying! Awesome!

Seriously... I go around being extatic most of the time. I feel bad for the other people
I see. I see people who are bored all the time. Life is so great if you cut out the crap,
and do it the way you really think it should be done."

Here is a video-mix of funny shit he posted so you can see quickly who is this guy.




Ohh man, and he also haves a dome in his mountain, electricity, water, heating,
cooling all 100% ecological, 100% off the grid, Ragnar Benson's The "Survival Retreat: A Total
Plan For Retreat Defense" is nothing compared with this guy home.

This guy haves a zillion videos in his Youtube channel, but let me point you a few ones, these are
the first parts of each series, for instance, the Giant Robot haves more than 35 videos

Access To Arasaka

.

Almost nothing is known about the guy behind this project,
but the music is awesome if you are into Ambient/IDM
music, in an interview for arrhythmiasound.com he told
about the name:

Access To Arasaka is actually a reference to the old
role-playing game called Cyberpunk 2020. Arasaka
was a large (and very antagonistic) corporation
within the world of Cyberpunk. Bringing them down
would have been the ultimate revolution. So, I guess
I chose this name as a sort of message to all
cyberpunks. Almost like saying, «Here's the way into
their system. Do what you will.»


In the Access To Arasaka website you can download many
EPs for free and also haves one of the better designs I saw
in a long long time, although I doubt that code compiles :P

He recently published is last work called "Oppidan" in a
co-release with Tympanik Audio and Spectraliquid
labels.

Sarcos and Exoskeletons

.

Sup guyz, I found these two exoskeletons, one from Raytheon and the other from Berkeley
Bionics, anyone who had to walk for hours with a 100 lb backpack will instantly appreciate them.

Raytheon Company’s research facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, is developing a robotic suit for the
soldier of tomorrow. The exoskeleton is essentially a wearable robot that amplifies its wearer’s
strength, endurance and agility. Reminiscent of super heroes depicted in comic books and
Hollywood movies, the bleeding edge technology effectively blurs the lines between science
fiction and reality. So much so, that Popular Science magazine recently likened Raytheon’s
exoskeleton to the “Iron Man” depicted in the blockbuster movie of the same name.

Built from a combination of sensors, actuators and controllers, the futuristic suit enables a user
to easily carry a man on his back or lift 200 pounds several hundred times without tiring. Yet,
the suit, which is being developed for the U.S. Army, is also agile enough to let its wearer kick a
soccer ball, punch a speed bag, or climb stairs and ramps with ease.

Dr. Stephen Jacobsen leads this project and the Raytheon Sarcos team. He sees his work as a
combination of art, science, engineering and design. “People call it different things. Sometimes
they call it inventing, sometimes they call it engineering. Sometimes they call it being a mad
scientist. To us, it’s the process of getting together, understanding the problems, goals and then
designing something to satisfy the need.” Development of the exoskeleton has been underway
since 2000, when Jacobsen realized that if humans could work alongside robots, they should also
be able to work inside robots.

Exoskeleton test engineer Rex Jameson echoes his boss’ commitment and says he has one of the
best jobs in the company. “We get to write programs and we see them working on actual robots;
that’s very exciting. As far as software engineering goes, this job is about as good as it gets.”







Berkeley Bionics, designs and manufactures lower extremity exoskeletons to augment human
strength and endurance during locomotion. Berkeley Bionics exoskeletons increase wearer's
strength while decreasing their metabolic cost of walking. The company is also attacking the
technological barriers to a practical, affordable exoskeleton for civilian and medical applications,
particularly to assist patients with neurological or muscular mobility disorders. These powered
human exoskeletons would allow their wearers to walk upright without the strain and muscular
effort required by today's unpowered orthotic devices.

window into a 3d town overrun with zombies. Point the camera at our special game map to mix
virtual and real world content. Civilians are trapped in the town, and must escape before the
zombies eat them! From your vantage point in a helicopter overhead, you must shoot the
zombies to clear the path for the civilians to get out. Watch out though as the zombies will fight
back, throwing bloody organs to bring down your copter. Move the phone quickly to dodge them.
You can also use Skittles as tangible inputs to the game, placing one on the board and shooting it

Transparent aluminium is 'new state of matter'

.
(PhysOrg.com) -- Oxford scientists have created a transparent form of aluminium
by bombarding the metal with the world’s most powerful soft X-ray laser.
'Transparent aluminium' previously only existed in science fiction, featuring in
the movie Star Trek IV, but the real material is an exotic new state of matter with
implications for planetary science and nuclear fusion.


In this week’s Nature Physics an international team, led by Oxford University scientists, report
that a short pulse from the FLASH laser ‘knocked out’ a core electron from every aluminium
atom in a sample without disrupting the metal’s crystalline structure. This turned the aluminium
nearly invisible to extreme ultraviolet radiation.

''What we have created is a completely new state of matter nobody has seen before,’ said
Professor Justin Wark of Oxford University’s Department of Physics, one of the authors of the
paper. ‘Transparent aluminium is just the start. The physical properties of the matter we are
creating are relevant to the conditions inside large planets, and we also hope that by studying it
we can gain a greater understanding of what is going on during the creation of 'miniature stars'
created by high-power laser implosions, which may one day allow the power of nuclear fusion to
be harnessed here on Earth.’

The discovery was made possible with the development of a new source of radiation that is ten
billion times brighter than any synchrotron in the world (such as the UK’s Diamond Light
Source). The FLASH laser, based in Hamburg, Germany, produces extremely brief pulses of soft
X-ray light, each of which is more powerful than the output of a power plant that provides
electricity to a whole city.

The Oxford team, along with their international colleagues, focused all this power down into a
spot with a diameter less than a twentieth of the width of a human hair. At such high intensities
the aluminium turned transparent.

Whilst the invisible effect lasted for only an extremely brief period - an estimated 40
femtoseconds - it demonstrates that such an exotic state of matter can be created using very
high power X-ray sources.

Professor Wark added: ‘What is particularly remarkable about our experiment is that we have
turned ordinary aluminium into this exotic new material in a single step by using this very
powerful laser. For a brief period the sample looks and behaves in every way like a new form of
matter. In certain respects, the way it reacts is as though we had changed every aluminium
atom into silicon: it’s almost as surprising as finding that you can turn lead into gold with light!’


The researchers believe that the new approach is an ideal way to create and study such exotic
states of matter and will lead to further work relevant to areas as diverse as planetary science,
astrophysics and nuclear fusion power.

A report of the research, 'Turning solid aluminium transparent by intense soft X-ray
photoionization', is published in Nature Physics. The research was carried out by an international
team led by Oxford University scientists Professor Justin Wark, Dr Bob Nagler, Dr Gianluca
Gregori, William Murphy, Sam Vinko and Thomas Whitcher.

How robots will invade our lives

.

In this prophetic talk from 2003, roboticist Rodney Brooks talks about how robots are going to
work their way into our lives -- starting with toys and moving into household chores ... and beyond.

Who is Rodney Brooks?

MIT professor Rodney Brooks studies and engineers robot intelligence, looking for the holy grail
of robotics: the AGI, or artificial general intelligence. For decades, we've been building robots to
do highly specific tasks -- welding, riveting, delivering interoffice mail -- but what we all want,
really, is a robot that can figure things out on their own, the way we humans do. (And being able
to move around independently would be handy too.)

Brooks realized that a top-down approach -- just building the biggest brain possible and teaching
it everything we could think of -- would never work. What would work is a robot who learns like
we do, by trial-and-error, and with many separate parts that learn separate jobs.The thesis of
his work is captured in a paper that went on to become the title of the great Errol Morris
documentary on Brooks and three others: Fast, Cheap and Out of Control.

A founder of iRobot, makers of the Roomba vacuum, Brooks recently left that company to start a
new firm, Heartland Robotics. Heartland's mission is to apply advanced robotic intelligence to
manufacturing and physical labor. At MIT, Brooks is affiliated with CSAIL, MIT's Computers
Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

Grog ?

.
Guyz I cant believe my eyes and ears... Do any of you played Monkey Island? If you did for sure
you remember the grog.
It was an extremely caustic beverage drank by the pirates, and you used it in the game to melt a
lock.

In the game, the 3 master pirates explain...

Grog is a secret mixture which contains the following:
  • Kerosene
  • Glycol acid
  • Artificial sweeteners
  • Sulfuric acid
  • Rum
  • Acetone
  • Red dye #2
  • Scumm
  • Axle grease
  • Battery acid
  • And/or pepperoni
Would you believe me if I told you a guy from C5N news network told in a report about
teenagers drinking problems, that some guyz prepare and drink that before going to the clubs?

The journalist found the recipe in a facebook group where alcoholic drinks recipes are shared, he
is so clueless about life that he thinks the XD its part of the drinks name.

What's even funnier is that doctor Colmillot a really known and respected doctor in Argentina
said: "It contains kerosene, battery acid, scumm... What is scumm?".

Dear Dr.Colmillot, you should lose your medical license just by thinking someone can drink that
and survive and you unknown shitty journalist that I hope you were already fired,
this is scumm, but all of you are scum, I feel ashamed for you... You should probably kill
yourselves and do a favor to the world.

Here is the proof (Spanish audio, English subtitles)

The Complete Guide To Lockpicking

.

I'm somewhat busy lately that's why I'm not posting
much, but here I am, with another lockpicking post.

"The complete guide to lockpicking" its a must read if you
are interested in the subject, Eddie the wire did a great job
explaining in a simple way how the different types of
locks work and how you can bypass them, he also talks
about the tools you need to do the work and how to create
your own mounting board to practice, all that in less than
100 pages.

The book also contains a section explaining the
modifications done in the basic mechanisms in order to
complicate lockpickers life, but also how to bypass them,
the cat and the mouse game also applies here :)

Ask your friend google where to find it.

Bar Rafaeli

.
Today we have something different... I'm a little tired of bitching against my country.
Here we have Bar Rafaeli, an Israeli Swim Illustrated model. I think there is only one guy in the
world you wouldn't like to fuck her and its Leonardo DiCaprio who dump her a few weeks ago.

Here you have a few more

Free circus for everyone

.
And its done, the Argentinian government made the AFA break it's contract with TyC and now
the government owns the rights to transmit all the soccer matches.
Meanwhile, Nilda Garre, our "Defense Minister" ordered a 50% reduction in the armed forces
budget. That means there is no more control of argentinian air space or submarine platform.

Terrorist and drug dealers around the world, feel free to use Argentina to smuggle drugs and
weapons.

Panem et circenses

.
"Panem et circenses","Bread and circuses", "Pan y Circo" is a metaphor for handouts and petty
amusements that politicians use to gain popular support, common practice in the Roman empire,
and still used.

Here in Argentina, while the president Cristina Kirchner is sucking Chavez's cock in Venezuela,
his husband is supposedly preparing a multi millionaire deal with Julio Grondona, president of
the Argentinian Soccer Association, and Senior Vice-President of FIFA, to break unilaterally the
contract that assigns the Argentinian soccer transmission rights to a company called "Torneos y
Competencias (TyC)"

That would give free soccer to every Argentinian citizen, and will cost to the state 500 or 600
millions of Argentinian pesos, something like 125 million dollars.
That's being made while common people is paying 400% increments in their gas and electricity
bills, there is retired people with $300 gas bills and their salary is $700.

Great work Cristina and Nestor Kirchner, you are accomplishing with great success your goal to
be the worst thing that happened to Argentina after the military dictatorships.

Lockpicking for beginners

.
Sup guyz, the other day I posted a video from Gringo Warrior where you could see Ella
lockpicking like a total pro, for the ones who are learning, like me, or are interested in the subject
these videos are really cool, they explain in an extremely basic way how a lock works and how to
open it using homemade tools in minutes.

The idea is to push the lock pins one by one while applying just a little pressure in the cylinder
with the tension wrench to avoid the pins going out again, with some practice you can feel the
pins.

Enjoy the videos and I'll keep posting lockpicking related material.

Disharmony - Evolution

.






The other day I was bitching about none of my favorite bands releasing anything new, I'm
looking forward for Velvet Acid Christ's last work called "The art of falling apart" that is being
mastered at the moment.
But today I had a nice surprise, I found Disharmony, an Slovakian duo, published their last work
called "Evolution". Their sound is a mix of dark electro with ambient and noise, I fooking love
those guyz. Here you got a great song of them, also you can get it for free in their website.

Swine Flu Black Flag Op 2

.
Do you remember a few months ago I posted about how some entity is playing with your
health, with your mind and your money? if you don't remember here is the link.

Supposedly Argentina is the 2nd country with most deaths due to the swine flu.
The media claimed deaths due "swine flu" that weren't even confirmed, all people with flu like
symptoms were considered infected.
The government had mobile medical units giving vaccines to people, I would fucking love to
know what they got injected because until today there is no vaccine for "swine flu".

Anyway, I believe all this swine flu issue its all bullshit, there is no such thing.
But there is something and it's an incredible operation to try a new method to make people live
scared and locked up in their homes giving up their money for placebos meanwhile.

95% of this blog content is in English, but a few minutes ago checking up kr3st0's Blog I found
this excellent short documentary created by Julián Alterini about this same issue, the
documentary is in Spanish but I think it's so good I'll post it anyway.

Maybe I'm more paranoid than I should, but I think there is more than money involved in this
flu issue, I'll quote myself from my previous post...

Maybe the communists, the nazis and the terrorists are a little overused and the
governments need a new enemy, a new enemy that is way better than the other
ones, your own mother, wife or sister can be your enemy and you'll never know until
it's too late.
Enjoy the video and remember to always use your head and don't let them make you panic
because for sure, this is not the last time you'll suffer and operation like this one.

Wired for War

.
The other day I bumped on CNN with a documentary about autonomous weapons systems and
remote controlled weapons, like the Predator UAV, that at first it only took pictures but then it was
equipped with Hellfire missiles.
In the documentary a guy called P.W.Singer was interviewed, he is the author of a book called
"Wired for War" which I'm looking for but can't find yet :S
Anyway I found in ted.com the video of a conference he gave on military robots and the future of
war, this shit rocks guyz, enjoy it :D

Gringo Warrior Challenge

.

Gringo Warrior is a scenario-based lockpicking game. Set in a hypothetical kidnapping situation,
participants are placed in custody of fictional captors who are holding them against their will and
extorting money or some other ransom.

Instead of complying with their demands, participants use lockpicks, assorted tools, or even
improvised items like paperclips and beer cans in order to affect their escape through a variety
of impediments.

Gringo Warrior makes appearances at many hacker cons and security-centric conferences
around the world. It has been played at DEFCON, ShmooCon, HOPE, NotACon, LayerOne,
ToorCon, ShakaCon, TRISC, and elsewhere. Often, it appears in concert with members of
TOOOL hosting a Lockpick Village where people can learn about physical security, try their
hand at picking, and gain insight into how to best protect themselves and their assets from theft
or tampering.

This year you will be able to experience Gringo Warrior in the Ekoparty.

The goal was to break out of a simulated Mexican prison in 5 steps:

1. get out of handcuffs
2. open 'cell' door
3. overpower guard
4. break into filing cabinet to retrieve passport
5. break out of prison

For each choice except numbers 1 and 3 there was an easy, medium and hard choice.

On 5/17/2008, during the Layer One Security Conference in Pasadena lots of guys there, many
who own their own handcuffs and practice all the time, were schooled by a 12 year old girl
named Ella. Sadly this is not her best run on video, which was 1m42s. This is her slow run, at
about 5m.

Btw, ella chose all hard locks in her runs.
