Although others have also offered, it’d be no problem at all for me to do the video for you… could even stream it live for you if you wanted.
I wactually have the comcast dvr (with firewire) which with some drivers lets you capture video with VLC. It’s pretty cool actually. Just tell me if you want it streamed or as a file.

That link to the DIY CNC machine is neat, but… if you really want to build one for yourself then this site is what you need. http://www.cnczone.com

Where would you like it sent?

Any preference on file format / bitrate / size (in pixels, not MB)?

@ meltz, former #14

A phishing scam is when the attacker poses as a legitamate site and attempts to convince the victim to give up personal information.

Several common methods include
1) URL Spoofing Vulnrabilities
2) XSS Exploits
3) Domain names with similar names to the real one

Err, since you don’t know what a Phishing scam, I’ll take the liberty of explaining what a XSS exploit is. You know that a lot of websites now a days are dynamically generated from mulitple sources. They name include time, a database, and most likely user input (such as clicking a button or filling out a form).

A XSS exploit occurs when the dynamic webpage does not sufficently sanitise the input data. Thus, the attacker may choose to input data that will directly influence the output malicously.

For instance, suppose there is a guest book on a website that also has a username/password system. Suppose that the guestbook makes the false assumption that submited entires are always safe. Then the attacker may submit an entry containing HTML (and probably some fun DHTML sutff) that will cause the resulting page to display a say… the login page but submits the information to the attackers site instead. For instance, if people can put any HTML they want in posts in forums, what is to prevent them from replying to a popular topic with the lastest IE exploit code that installs a trojan? That’s why forums have things like bbcode.

An XSS exploit is very dangerous since the page obviously appears to come from the real site.

Hmmm, I guess that should be:

Yeah right, pull the video off of a tivo? It can be done but who’s going to bother when mythtv is more than happy to give up the goods.

I have a feeling wrt54g’s are going to be used in all kinds of crazy shit now. At $50 they’re a lot cheaper than homebrewing lots of wireless stuff.

The floppy motor is interesting, but the r/c airplane and heli guys have been rewiring cd-rom motors to use as bushless motors for a couple of years now.
