ah facebook, warnings, good times.. warms the cockles of hearts in many lands

look at how many people are catching on how to game facebook or simple game facebook gaming

the even lazier ones building on- or simply using the less lazy

remember that one email: ought not ..  flash .. xml .. etc

the myspace response to security related emails is to mash delete related buttons which is not surprising given that their ‘mail’ system allows party A to flag party B for spam in a party A initiated conversation.

@ cheaters: up your skill set when cheating flash games with Cheat Engine — read up on rings, IOS and IDS, too, but don’t become a pediaphile.  And when you have mastered Cheat Engine (extraordinarily unlikely) move onward to WPE Pro.  [AMD fanbois stay home]

don’t, worry, facebook, there are still plenty of cretins who embrace internet voyeurism/exhibitionism for you and your puppet masters to profit in both your short- and long term plans — game if you will.

few seem the have the intellectual capacity to realize the crosslinked nature of exercise of liberty and privacy much less to see the long term consequences of their “I’m not addicted to the interweb” habits.  They’ll probably have the same indifference to their cable/satellite/fttp television provider’s policy for datamining channel watching AND guide use.

Maybe one small upside is the pressure to properly implement mobile tower designs in six-gang instead of cheaping out in four-gang…. another I told you so waiting to crash down on some people your masters would adore meeting.

When you do eventually “lose” your job there’ll be an openining in verizon’s ministry of truthiness, at least in the moca propaganda subdivision for a few years.

Transparency, eh?  It seems very greatleader obama style.  you have covered some of the how but ZERO of the why.  How much trust can you build; it’s not trust you have with the itards.. that’s sometimes else entirely different.  You can haz trusts when you disclose datamining BETWEEN properties… on second thought that might be antithetical to your conditioning.

I wonder how many people would submit TOS/EULA scans to a site documenting the home equivalent of rights atrocities or privacy genocide…

categorize, firefox extension, brings same level of circuity (paradox) as TBE brought chaos to feature conflict

categorize brings extra big ‘helping’ of circuity and paradox to ’simplify’ firefox bookmarking through radical fundamental change.

http://techuser.net/bookmarks/

screenshots live on machine through which I’m RDP’ing into here so stay tuned for the awesome ‘fun’ this extension brings

fascinating decision to cram addons manager into a sidebar, fascist mindset greying out buttons for non-compliant use of existentially challenged keywords, tooltips where uneeded and missing where critical — help burried in documention with ‘convenient’ one click access… and so much more!

spellcheck is behaving poorly so I have ceased caring for this post.

lions, tigers, and bears… animal instrict to rip, shred, and destroy if given physical proximity to extension developer…. or maybe I would wield a HUGE syringe of haloperidol for that pediaphile fanboi.

Before experimenting sort out how to download xanax.

TBE how I’ve missed you.. Piro, a Policy Manager under your development ought be STELLAR

CAPS, Policy Manager, Security Policy, huh, it has many names.  Developers of NoScript, AdBlock Plus, RequestPolicy, ABE, Karma Blocker etc have quietly been ignoring the need.  First into the forray was the developer of Controle de Scripts, but gold star for effort only.

.

Piro, mad extensions deveoper extrodinary, oft derided by extensions “peers” for TBE issues, returns to us this new decade with Policy Manager albeit optionless

.

http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_policymanager.html.en
yes, it’s on AMO, but those twits allow near anything these days. (there’s a hole in the bucket dear, Liza: “forced opt in”)

And his new-to-him ideology of packetizing extensions that interact rather than megalithic wonders of the world.  Tab Kit is learning to play well with others.  My, if only there were some kind of, oh, manager for extensions that could mitigate such issues.

Time for a bit of housekeeping

.

GeoIP location == bad

I would like my home IP addresses to NOT geolocate me.  I am baffled why more people do not demand this service from their respective ISP.  All the tw*ts, droidroolers,  and itards “thinking” ‘oh neato I can send my GPS coordinates to my friends’ — all the while google “promising” not to do anything evil.



Being possibly over fond of no-remote I use several different profiles simultaneously.  This profile is bogged download with five dozen or so extensions.

supine atheism

Lo, a delightful repository of contratheism per se:

http://katholon.com/writings.htm

Exocriaing them for employing (moral) relativism to prove theism invalid would be as pointless as their respective ideology is feckless; their use of circular reasoning (and other failings festered by intellectual dishonesty- or deficiency) lauded by peers amidst prepetual (need for) affirmation is verily fruitless.

OpenDNS Deluxe needs more features and lower cost to justify purchase espcecially in light of TreeWalk DNS — should include power wildcards and RADIUS

Filed under: CIO, DARPA, Tagtastic, overview, security, social engineering — Sagacious Himself @ 11:22 am
Tags: , ,

Paid versions of OpenDNS? Hmm OpenDNS is but one of your alternatives to your ISP poorly performing resolvers.  Is the Deluxe version of OpenDNS worth the investment of the home user (parents)?

No.

OpenDNS ought offer hosted RADIUS as part of that price especially as their primary audience has always been home users — WPA2-PSK AES is NOT sufficient anymore.  Hosted RADIUS is not currently priced for home use but there is a ‘vast’ untapped market of people who do not realize their need yet;  Those aware of the need are extremely unlikely either to buy a dedicated hardware appliance or build their own RADIUS server.

OpenDNS “Deluxe” as “free without ads and a smidge more” [not a quote] is not featured enough to justify $10 annually.  While increased space in blacklisting is tempting, and while whitelisting-only has certain parental applications (albeit in a complex bordering on chaotic implementation challenge),

For $10 or preferably less annually OpenDNS ought apply a few changes in offerings to home users:

OpenDNS free ought offer more blacklisting space and use expanded whitelisting as an upsell. — (crippling (porn) sites a far more effective deterrent than outright blocking and requires a much larger blacklist than 50 hosts)

OpenDNS deluxe ought offer FINE GRAIN control over the NXDOMAIN intercept page.  OpenDNS ought not use the NXDOMAIN intercept page in a deluxe of better panel as an upsell avenue nor should there be evidence of OpenDNS branding.

OpenDNS ought recognize the vast hoards in broken marriages and mixed families: one account six houses type scenario.

OpenDNS ought recognize some ultra broadband residential customers (fios) have multiple public IP addresses: a one house scenario.

OpenDNS deluxe ought offer wildcard support in white- and blacklisting.  Wildcards as prefix and suffix (por*.rain.tld / *tube.tld), wildcards in the middle of FDQN (cdn.*tube.tld / cdn*.*.*tube.tld), and single character wildcard “?”.

OpenDNS deluxe ought offer a wiki for home gateway configuration (filters or rules) to seize resolution requests

OpenDNS free is not suffient for most residential user (parental) needs, and OpenDNS does not add enough value to justify expenditure given TreeWalk DNS, OpenDNS alternative, is readily available without invoking irrational fear by uttering ‘bind’.  TreeWallk DNS (for windows) is free, easy enough to setup, and offers the home user (or parent) orders of magnitude more power and features (ConFetch).

I would have kept TreeWalk “to myself” but I hope to modify the OpenDNS deluxe  feature offering while reducing the annual cost for (complex) residential users. TreeWalk currently maintained by Zenobi.

“TreeWalk is a “free personal use”, automatically installed DNS name-caching only server which is similar to, but more efficient than using your default ISP’s DNS servers. A lookup only, non-persistent caching version called BIND-LE for Windows 95/98/ME/[2000/XP/2003] is also available from our Downloads page” [[If you're using Windows7 (aka vista) you're SOL twofold. Enjoy the sweet suffering you masochist.]]

I do NOT advocate switching to google’s “free” DNS;  all the “free” services from google are merely a methods for facilitating your (blissfully ignorant) quiet surrender of  yourself via packetization.  Google is not a philanthropic group; google is a giant relational database mining enterprise that also runs an ad deployment platform.  Participation in google projects is PURE FOLLY.

mobile phones: how is it as a phone?

Filed under: CIO, Motorola phone, iTard, sigh — Sagacious Himself @ 9:27 pm
Tags: , ,

Why is Motorola targetting the iTard market with the Motorola Droid?

Should not phones primarily BOTH

(1) have excellent signal reception/relay
AND

(2) have excellent audio fidelity / vocoders

???

YES!

Does the motorola droid? who knows?!  The engineers might not have bothered testing.  What has happened to the motorola name? merely YAPP (yet another phone producer)?

Does anyone test PHONE network connectivity or test PHONE voice quality anymore?

As long as a phone is SHINY, small, light, and run programs to delight the feckless surely it will be a winning selling product…

Soon the generation who inflicted contraceptives on society will in turn receive the similar gift of euthanaia. … iTards and useful idiots first.. then second generation iTards.. then public school employees and overseers…

I want a slimmer motorola e815.  HTC has one passable PHONE, but I am not interested in paying a $60/month verizon FINE.  One cannot opt-out of the verizon penalty fee.  I want to use the PHONE as a PHONE and nothing more (than the occasional SMS).

edit: even eWeek doesn’t bother to review PHONES  as a PHONE per se... seems like eWeek has moved to the iTards column

Where are the QUALITY PHONES????

edit:  droid “does” stuff but how well IS it a PHONE?

Hazaa! how to disable SIP ALG on Westell 9100

Hazaa how to disable SIP ALG on Westell 9100em

ZERO help from verizon on this topic: ZERO help via phone, ZERO help via email, ZERO help via live chat, ZERO help via forum, ZERO help via paper mail.  All verizon avenues assert it is not possible to disable the SIP ALG in the 9100em westell.  Errrn! wrong.

Export conf, edit file, load conf, reboot.

advanced
yes
configuration file
save configuration file

remove ONE line: (alg(sip_udp))
save changes to file

advanced
yes
configuration file
load configuration file
advanced
yes
reboot

For a little more sanity modify the 9100em SIP service definition from only ONE UDP port, 5060, to include expected defaults-  or YOUR SIP and RTP ports.. you’ll be redefining the 9100 SIP service to be voip service as creating your own voip service definition will not suffice — thanks verizon for making “open” RG “better”.

Yes, delightfully you will be making multiple modifications in several locations in the config file: service, meh why ruin your fun you can find the rest right?  protocol(17) = UDP  protocol(6) = TCP.  For a little more joy craft some advanced filters (firewall settings, yes, advanced filtering) to allow traffic in, Initial Rules, from your ITSP server(s) or otherwise with the SIP/RTP ports you use. Enable rules logging to verify, syslog daemon preferred, but do not leave enabled.

Tested against
9100em hardware revision A
9100em hardware revision D

@ verizon fios

Now that I have your attention.. I would like an option to receive an IPA lease from a netblock without correlation to my geographic position.  (this is not challenging for you to implement).  GeoIP location violates privacy and deters confident exercise of freedom of speech.

solving the google picasa local storage problem

Filed under: CIO — Sagacious Himself @ 4:17 am

google picasa is a storage glutton… encourage google to support adobe lightroom with web picasa

the problem:  infinite space a logical contradiction

the solution:

suggest a google analog of layers in a file… both reknowned photoshop and painter support layers.. even GIMP

consider a set: original, mod file (layers), and output file.   Incremental changes are made to google mod file and final output available online.  No need for large amounts of space

abstraction layer. windows got it firefox don’t

Filed under: social engineering — Sagacious Himself @ 11:34 am

It’s three versions overdue.  Firefox needs an extension referee: something to assure exensions, especially poorly designed extensions, play nicely.

Something that compensates for feature collision.  What do you do when three extensions interact with one particular firefox feature?   Nothing.  You obamahope for the best.  That’s no kind of plan.

Why is no one discussing a firefox extension abstraction layer?  Because it’s scary and would require work.  But the Perceived Performance team is working to take the cheating edge from intertardnet explorer.

Like to use tabs?  alot?  20+?  Enjoy the huge ram and cpu demand of firefox when you do?  TooManyTabs can help.  It would be more helpful with an abstraction layer.  It would be even better if firefox would roll greedy, unfocused tabs into the TooManyTabs netherworld.

itardPhone voicemail sucks

Filed under: irony — Sagacious Himself @ 11:20 am

iphone voicemail sucks so what are you going to do?  nothing.  you can’t

.

Jesse Ruderman, firefox whiz, overt fan of the needless www host, waxes on the subject not realizing the HTC phone series is a few clicks away

http://squarefree.com/2009/07/29/iphone-voicemail/

complains that when he misses a call and gets voicemail as a result, the iPhone forces him to click both Recents and Voicemail to clear badges.

So what are you going to do about it?  Nothing likely you have an iphone.  But if you were a developer and hacker like Jesse?

How could Apple address Cronin’s complaint

apparently nothing.  No one can do anything about iphone voicemail sucking.  You iphone itards will have to live in an obamaesque state of hope (lessness).

So go have an obama beer and enjoy the shiny suffering.

HTC phones on the otherhand put USERS in charge.
