Prisons give inmates mobile phones PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 18 December 2006
So let me get this right, prisoners have been smuggling mobile phones into prisons to keep in contact with the outside world (although I dread to think with who in the outside world), fair enough, it's going to happen but now they are actively giving prisoners mobiles phones.  Now I'm not too worried about the calls (although I can see a few problems there!) but almost every phone nowadays has a basic browser (even WAP) let alone MMS messaging etc. There isn't much you can't do from a phone nowadays and well, if they can't do it then it's just a phone call away!  Why not just give them broadband and and be done with it!

September 11th - Five years on PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 15 September 2006
Everyone is doing news about the world trade center at the moment and while some of it has been very interesting to watch I haven't really felt compelled to write anything about it. Until now anyway! I found a video online that someone shot on september 11th from their home, two blocks away from the twin towers. It's an interesting look at the going on around the area as it happened and worth a look. September 11, 2001: What We Saw

The Conscience of a Hacker PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 26 March 2001

This was taken from Phrack Volume One, Issue 7, Phile 3 of 10. It is a poem by a hacker that was arrested back in 1986, funny how it still seems to be appropriate so many years on. Incidentally, bits of this file made it into the movie "Hackers" (I sense Emmanuel Goldsteins influence there!!) I know it's kinda sad but in some ways I like this, if nothing else but that it's a nice bit of poetry. Anyway, here it is in its original format:

Meltdown - The Maths PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 01 July 1999

Originally posted on this site before Y2K (now just a distant memory) it is true to say that everyone got very worked up about this. If you want my opinion (and you probably don't) I'm still surprised there wern't more public incidents although let me assure you there were a number of major corporations that had major issues, it's not in their best interests to tell you that they had problems!!

Beyond Infinity PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 01 July 1997
I've always had a fascination with mathematics and this news article about numbers larger than infinity has always enthralled me, I used to have it pinned to my bedroom wall when I was a kid (insert scary comment about posters on walls here), Now that I don't have a bedroom wall that I can pin things to I thought I would put it up here!!
