There are only 10 people on Google Posted 3/10/2010 9:23:41 AM by phase - [Show All My Posts]
This was sent to me today, and though I was cringing though all the information he was giving out, I could not help but laugh, that he actually believed everything he was saying. Watch this :
Before there are complaints, the commands he talks about are not dangerous, do not do the things he says, and noone is at risk in doing the things he says to do.
That a side, the command he is talking about is just a tracing command. its designed to basically show how many hops (or servers) your connection goes though between you, and the target ( in this case googles website ). The information shown are the server names, and their ping response time (time taken to respond to a query). The Tracrt command generally only shows 10 hops anyway, and most of the time, the last few are within the network of the target, so they will have the same ip mask.
Our new chum that has posted this video, who calls himself NextGenHacker101, leads us to believe that the command is actually showing us the IP addresses of the people that are CONNECTED TO google. Google as you know is a massive company, spanning the globe and has upwards of 9.6 billion searches per month, working out at approx 320 million searches a day world wide..... it just so happened that when our wannabe hacker was showing us this wonderful hacking tool, that three hundred nineteen million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety people logged off, leaving only the 10 people left on google, at the time he was making the video.... what are the chances of that ????
I think the next movie sums it up...
I have not laughed so much at a tutorial video....
I've nothing much to offer There's nothing much to take I'm an absolute beginner And I'm absolutely sane As long as we're together The rest can go to hell I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners With eyes completely open But nervous all the same
If our love song Could fly over mountains Could laugh at the ocean Just like the films There's no reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true
Nothing much could happen Nothing we can't shake Oh we're absolute beginners With nothing much at stake As long as you're still smiling There's nothing more I need I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners But if my love is your love We're certain to succeed
If our love song Could fly over mountains Sail over heartaches Just like the films There's no reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true
Mein Tag im SL war zum größten Teil wunderschön,wenn auch sehr verwirrend.Ich war mit Cy unterwegs,nachdem ich merkte das der Space Park total öde war,und dachte einen Moment nach wo man hin gehen könnte und so kam mir der Gedanke warum nicht nach Wales...dort hatten wir früher einmal schöne Momente erlebt,also warum nicht einfach mal dort vorbei schauen.Und so kam es dann dazu das wir beide,am selben Ort aber zu einer anderen Zeit nach Wales zurück kehrten.Wir tanzten zusammen,und ich fühlte mich recht wohl dabei,alles schien wieder so vertraut...ob es nur mir so ging?Oder ging es ihm auch so? Ich wollte da nicht nach fragen,und träumte mich ein wenig zurück in die Vergangenheit :)Nach dem wir getanzt hatten besuchten wir das Schloß und durchstreiften jeden Raum und taten das was wir schon einst taten..uns zu versuchen überall rauf zu setzen wo es nur ging,und so saß ich auf einer Kerze und Cy hing mit seinem Hinterteil in einem Bilderrahmen lach.Naja und dann saßen wir zusammen auf diesem Sofa...Cy wurde immer ruhiger aber auch mir ging es nicht viel anders..was er wohl dachte? Irgendwie war da ein Knistern,ich konnte mich da nicht täuschen.Wir besuchten dann noch kurz das Schiff in der Grotte,wo Cy mir wieder sehr nah kam,in dem er sich vor mir stellte..es machte mich schon sehr nervös gg.Hm überall wo es ging machte ich Bilder sie sollten eine schöne Erinnerung sein,für das was wir beide so erlebten.Danach besuchten wir die Neverland Ranch,und da war es wirklich lustig,wir probierten alles aus und Cy jagte mit einem Autoscooter durch den Park lach.aber das beste war das er sich nen Einlauf mit einem Flamingokopf bescherte..wat setzt er sich auch auf dat Vieh lööl.Also wenn er breit gegrinst haben sollte dann hat es ihm wohl gefallen.Nee aber der Besuch im Park war schon genial.Wir saßen dann zusammen und er sagte mach ein Foto davon,aber das hatte ich bereits im Kasten und hoch geladen.Darauf gab es dann auch etwas später ein Kommentar das sich Cy auch selber anschaute....und dieses Kommentar brachte wohl den Stein so richtig ins Rollen.Cy sagte mir was er darüber dachte,was er über mich dachte,was er über uns dachte...und ich war schon sehr baff.Aber es freute mich auch das er so ehrlich war und dazu stand. Nach dem Besuch auf Neverland sahen wr uns nicht mehr,aber hielten den Kontakt über IM aufrecht.so eröffnete ich dann auch Die Gruppen IM weil nach und nach alles online erschien und so wäre es einfacher gewesen gg.War ne lustige Sache über Gruppe zu schreiben ^^ Squall war kurz online,verzog sich aber dann..er hatte wohl gemerkt das ich keine Zeit hatte lach.Und sonst hätte der Abend so schön noch sein können ...wenn ja wenn der Streit net mit Jake gewesen wäre der mir richtige Vorhaltungen gemacht hat.Er macht mich an weil ich mit Cy in Wales war..frei nach dem Motto wie kannst du es auch noch heraus fordern das er sich in dich verliebt wenn du mit ihm romantisch tanzen gehst...Ehm hat da einer den Schuß net gehört,er macht mich damit dumm an,hält mir Vorhaltungen? Ich denke Jake sollte sich dafür mal ganz stark selber an die Nase fassen...denn ist das net das selbe was er mit mir abgezogen hat? Es ist das selbe...er wußte genau was ich für ihn empfand und hat mich immer wieder gegen die Wand laufen lassen,und will mir jetzt Vorträge halten,was ich zu tun und zu lassen habe?Nee nich mit mir...und ich denke nicht das ich Cy damit irgendwie beeinflußt habe...Denn Gefühle lassen sich nicht steuern...vielleicht verbergen aber nicht lenken.Ich weiß genau wie es war ständig seine Gefühle verbergen zu müssen,also soll er mich net als schlecht hinstellen und sich selber mal fragen,was er getan hat.Ich werde ganz sicher niemanden beeinflußen,die Zukunft wird selbst entscheiden wie es weiter geht....Und damit beende ich für heute wieder eure Rinoa!
I just want to give a BIG shout out to my Mgr in SL.. Teloulah Shippe for hooking this up for me. She is an amazing girl all around. If you need me and can't find me, well ask her where Im at.. I am sure she can help ya. Big thanks again! Hope to see everyone in world.
Bear av - hair, and human hair, and other stuff I've been doing Posted 3/9/2010 8:20:17 PM by Jake\Helios - [Show All My Posts]
I've been doing this thing lately where I use one account as a 'voice anchor' and use the other account to make or get stuff. I make the voice account smaller on the screen and the one where I'm away doing stuff much larger.. I like to go on my Adrien av to use as the voice one, it has a bunch of tiny avs on it, like a little Woodstock bird that I put winter clothing on..
Yesterday I started putting hair on my bear av while doing that. It feels like I'm adding normals to the individual meshes that make up the parts of the bear. Normals look like little directional vector thingies that come off of the vertices on a mesh. In wire-frame they do look like that lol.
The hairs aren't each an individual hair that would be pretty laggy and there is no way a linkset could have that many, sl limits the amount to prims to 250. Instead I'm using tufts of hair. Still, on a foot I went up to exactly 250 prims yesterday, on account of going overboard and putting hair around and under the claws too.
Adriane got this neat freebie later that day, it's a polar bear that sits on your back and is pretty ace ;u I looked at it and realized it had all the same sort of parts that my larger black bear av had that I was putting hair on. I went and got one and luckily it was mod ;o So I grouped all the parts in the way that would fit the bear av's ao and took those to inventory and stretched and rotated them to fit it better on the av joints. It seems like the gal who made the bear projected its baked textures onto the full completed model, so there's dark areas visible if the joints move. It's kinda like I got a new bear av though ;o
I'm using the same technique that I'm using to add hair to my black bear to make short hair for a human av. First I used my old Ayden av to test the idea. I kind of like the name Ayden better than Helios and may start using him more instead. With this method the hair doesn't look like play-dough and is very short from all angles.
On Helios my scalp wasn't dark enough on the skin I like to use. I used the new viewer to make a translucent head tattoo that made my scalp shaded darker. After many many uploads lol.. I got it to look right. What's cool about the new clothing layers is you don't have to use the sl2 viewer to see them, they are baked onto the avs skin texture that everyone sees anyway.
So the new alpha layer is visible to everyone too. What's not cool is the alpha is all or nothing. You can't make a half visible transparency, it's either fully visible or not. For one of my characters I wanted to make them look like a ghost that way. I thought of a possible solution other than using prims for body parts lol, make every other pixel solid and the other next to it transparent. Like a really dense checker-board. From a distance it would look translucent like a fine mesh. It didn't work. The pixels are way to big when rendered on the avs surface and at a distance they just merge together.
What is cool though is say you have a really tiny av that uses a invisiprim to hide the scrunched up body inside. Now you can just make an alpha layer that makes the standard sl av mesh not render at all. No more invisiprims :D And because of that cast shadows will now work correctly with avs that needed to use invisiprims.
If you care about your privacy and identity then be sure to read and vote on this JIRA issue
In short, any Shared Media prim has the potential to get all sorts of information about you - IP Address, Operating System & version, language (gives a good idea of country), Client & version, all sorts. Possible exploits are linking alts to mains, griefing, stalking, RL harassment, phishing, malware and viruses.
The JIRA entry and the subsequent comments have a lot more information. And this blog is also worth reading.
I'm kind of surprised how few people seem bothered by this.
Spring, 1 k shoes and custom eyebrows Posted 3/9/2010 7:17:08 AM by Clarity - [Show All My Posts]
Its bloody warm today I've been walking around in a jumper and tracky pants. What's brill about the common accepted mode of dress here is nobody cares if you walk around in sweatpants even. So laid-back. I hate warm weather though and lately it's starting to be full retarded. When I can smell the dirt and everything is melting I start to feel rather meh, so I hope it gets back to normal right quick like.
My bevvie mate was wearing these new shoes, and I said wow I like the detail on those.. But(argmuffins), my other m8 went to get demos and they are like 1 k per colour. I am good for it but it makes more sense to me to get a skin. I've been meaning to get a skin that is full on pale. Maybe I'll get both idk.
I like my skins but I have one where I like the lips but I don't like the eyebrows, they seem too light and idk just odd looking in the eyebrow department. So in the new viewer I made a face tattoo that overlaps darker eyebrows onto the underlying skin. But now I need eye-shadow too. Thing is I'm not very practised with skins so I think I'll get one of those free full perm 'open source' skins again and use the eye-shadow from there. If you haven't sampled face tattoos in the new viewer they are pretty wicked to say the least. If you dl a face template you know where to draw things and it's quite easy to muck around with really.
... I was able to find a compatible Second Life for my Operating System.
:O :O :O :O
I move a bit slower, though.. Not quite sure, yet how to fix that, but my graphics details (sans avatars) are at their lowest; if not turned off completely.
