Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Internet Explorer is probably the best browser that there is (for windows), it has every option that the next browser does except it does it quicker and most consicely. Mozilla is probably second best to IE. IE's only drawback is the index.dat thing ( www.fuckmicrosoft.com ).

I find that Opera is easier on the system than IE or Netscape. I used to browse on a 166MMX laptop and IE would slow things down. I also like many of the features, like the built-in popup stopper and email. I keep IE around in case I have compatibility problems with a specific site, but I use Opera for everything else.

That makes no sense at all.

Mozilla is....

faster
easier on your system
much more secure
and....mozzila is relatively bug free. IE, aside from the normal bugs, has horrible security problems. New exploits and problems are found every day. Even if someone does find a serious problem with Mozilla, it'll be fixed in a matter of ours.


And...I run Mozilla under Slackware linux.

you jknow what i hate? the guy who runs www.fuckmicrosoft.com gets to keep his domain while 2600 got their www.fordreallysucks.com domain shutdown doesnt make sence i would think that microsoft would shut the other guy down really fast... but mayb its because 2600 was redirecting surfers to general motors' web site while fuck microsoft has content so would be protected by the first amendment any other theories?
