When are tattoos too much? The answer lies below….
July 28, 2007
Tattoos are too much when someone tattoos a BSOD error message on their arm including most of the relevant text. From the pictures above some of you may realize that we have all seen this error message or one like it from our great OS, Windows. For those of you who don’t know what BSOD stands for - “Blue Screen of Death”
Personally, I think this may be Anti-Windows propaganda. What do you think?

Lincoln’s disappearing-door concept
July 19, 2007
Interesting…
I don’t know about that though? Actually, I guess it makes sense for Lincoln to design a car with this type of functionality. After all their customers are over the age of 60 and may have a hard time entering a car. But any kind of structural damage to the car and your doors won’t work. Emergency situations anyone? Meh emergencies are overrated, it’s neat.
Canadian Supercar????
July 18, 2007
It seems that the rumours have been true and the Locus Plethore is actually making it’s way into production. First words out of all of our mouths “A Canadian supercar?” I was dumbfounded when I heard this, considering we all carry hockey sticks and have to walk to work through 4 feet of snow. That’s just in Southern Ontario, I would hate to see what people in the great white North go through to get to work.
Available in a modest 750 hp version or 1300hp version for guys with really really *big* wangs. Looking at this thing reminded me of a McLaren F1 which is not a bad thing by any means but being a Canadian I would expect a more original design. I guess when we have to market to our smaller but bigger brother we can’t be too adventurous or we’d be considered a threat to National Security.
Anyway, great building CDNs and I hope you keep a few up here for us as well.

How crappy is WEP encryption….See for yourself
July 14, 2007
Breaking any encryption involves knowing a few things. First, you have to know that there is an encryption scheme. Secondly, you must know how encryption works.
- Depending on your operating system, you will need a packet sniffing program. Airsnort for Linux and Windows is a popular program. But only works with cards having a Prism chipset.
- Find a wireless access point.
- When using the packet sniffer, allow it some time to get a good sampling of the WEP encrypted packets. In other words, you have to give the program something to work with and match. Public and private keys can be deciphered by matching the packets for similarities!!

How To Get Your Girl Into Gaming
Advice from Mrs. Shipwreck, a gamer wife
Most girls who grew up with My Little Pony, Rainbow Brite, Care Bears, and Barbie have a very limited gaming past. I started gaming on the Nintendo Entertainment System. I don’t remember why my sister and I were so enthralled with getting a NES, but we knew everyone else wanted one, so we thought we should have one too. We played Super Mario Brothers. We played Super Mario Brothers 2. We played Super Mario Brothers 3. We played Mario Is Missing, which was boring…very boring. It wasn’t until we bought the Zelda guide that we realized where we could find the red lantern and then Zelda became fun too, which brings me to my first point.
Tip #1: Limit the frustration! Games are not fun if we can’t control them. Nor are they fun if we get stuck in the same place and keep dying. If your chosen female gaming partner isn’t really into gaming to begin with, she’s definitely not going to be dedicated enough to die repeatedly without making progress. This illustrates the reason why I never play games that involve flying airplanes. If you hand a woman a controller early in her gaming career, don’t expect her to master the whole “up is down” and “down is up” thing. Gaming should be fun, so explain the controls/rules/concept prior to hitting “Start” or she’ll be dead before she even knew what hit her. If she’s playing a single-player game that seems to be getting frustrating, buy the guide (or visit GameFAQs). It’ll save you BOTH a lot of frustration.
