My advice is don't spend so much. I have a PC which can run pretty much any game or 3d modelling software I know on full which cost me about £600 for all the parts (took a long time to save up though). Just spend your money wisely! There are lots of guides online to building a PC.

If you're planning on buying it not building it then fuck off.

...

...

Haha joking.

But seriously build it.


I'm planning to build it man :) It would be beneficial for my tech blog. Just wanted to gather some suggestions.

I'm glad people have that kinda money to throw away.


My current machine:


ECS P4M800PRO-M2
Pentium 4 3.00GHz
2GB Ram
GeForce FX 5500


I think it would be reasonable for me to buy a new machine, I've been using my computer since I first learned to watch porn XD

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.

The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was
Full.

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.

Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full..

The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed..

'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car..

The sand is everything else---the small stuff.

'If you put
The sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Spend time with your children.

Spend time with your parents.

Visit with grandparents.

Take your spouse out to dinner.

Play another 18.

There will always be time to clean the house and mow the lawn.

Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter.

Set your priorities.

The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented.

The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'

The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

Hey everyone!


So about 2 hours ago, something weird happened with my network. It seems that websites don't load properly, or don't load at all. I have an internet connection since I can ping Facebook, and load it.


Here's what it looks like. Google loads fine but it cannot open the website I click on.

We fucking won! A temporary victory!

Quote
MANILA, Philippines—The Supreme Court on Tuesday stopped the implementation of Republic Act 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
During Tuesday’s full court deliberation, the high court justices unanimously issued a temporary restraining order after it was flooded by petitions assailing the constitutionality of several provisions of the said law.
A total of 15 petitions from various organizations told the high court that several provisions of violates the 1987 Constitution specifically the provisions on freedom of speech, equal protection of the law, right to privacy, illegal searches and seizures, double jeopardy.

The Department of Justice have started collecting internet traffic data.


Just what on fuck is wrong with my country O.O I'm guessing that soon enough, a massive cyberwar will occur.

Although much emphasis is placed on the inclusion of libel in RA 10175, I am more concerned with Chapter 4, in particular Sec 12 which says:
"
SEC. 12. Real-Time Collection of Traffic Data. — Law enforcement authorities, with due cause, shall be authorized to collect or record by technical or electronic means traffic data in real-time associated with specified communications transmitted by means
of a computer system.

Traffic data refer only to the communication’s origin, destination, route, time, date, size, duration, or type of underlying service, but not content, nor identities.

All other data to be collected or seized or disclosed will require a court warrant.

Service providers are required to cooperate and assist law enforcement authorities in the collection or recording of the above-stated information.
"

To the layperson this may seem benign and, even, justifiable. However, to someone from within the industry such as myself, this is very scary. First, because Sec 12 cannot be implemented. I say this because you cannot gather communication data without getting the content as well.

This very broad and loose clause is very open to abuse by the government. A simple "suspicion of malice" has the potential to intrude upon your rights to privacy. They can do fishing expeditions listening in to your data, and when they find something, they ask the courts for a warrant.

Let me explain. Upon order by the DOJ, law enforcement authorities can and will listen in to your data communications without need for a warrant. The law says they cannot look at the content. But this is not entirely accurate. They will be using a packet sniffer to do this. A packet sniffer will reveal all, including the content. The photo I attached is a screen capture of a packet sniffing tool.

(I will be trying to explain this to laypeople, and so will be leaving out many technical things. I acknowledge the danger of oversimplification.)

Data transmission is done in packets. A packet will contain: origin, destination, message type, message length, and content, among others. Although to us humans, a packet may seem like a discrete unit of communications, to the computer it isn't. It is one continuous stream of data, one packet after another. The only way of separating one packet from another is looking at the packet information which will tell you how long the packet is. You then measure the length of the packet to get to the start of the next packet. And to be able to measure something, you need to have it with you. In other words, you will need the entire packet, including the contents, to do this.

So I've read something about ISPs sending their consumers 'letters' for downloading copyrighted material.


What are your thoughts about this? Any counter measures when downloading a torrent?


Let's discuss what are safe, and what are not. As of today, I am using Vuze for torrents, which they say is not also safe.

Update: Yesterday and Today has been a very 'scary' day for Philippines' Cyberspace. Apparently, Hackers are going up against hackers.


Hackers will upload a web version of LOIC/HOIC to attack the government websites, hacker's from the government will then deface the online tool.


Oh well.. Let's see what will happen. For the last few weeks, about 20 or so government websites were defaced, and a huge number were DDoSed. apparently no one was caught yet.

This is OT, but I'm just amused that I somehow understood the code. O: I'm learning holy cow!
