People with Violins are cool. Hot girls covering System of a Down songs with violins.. are awesome.

Update: I decided to do a little extra research for those of you who are lazy but curious to see more of these girls:

Jennifer Lynn, Electric Violin; www.jenniferviolynn.com
Christine Wu, Electric Violin; www.christine-wu.com (I think)
Meytal Cohen, Drums; www.meytalcohen.com

The original youtube video posted by Meytal is [here].

Haven’t heard a whole lot about this game yet, but Rage looks rather fallout 3-ish to me from the trailer. But that’s not a bad thing, Fallout’s awesome!

Head on over to the GameTrailers link for more videos about Rage.

I was searching for bar tricks on youtube, and some how came across this video. It’s effing hilarious!

I wish I was there. “They did it!”

Remember the ‘40,000 blowjobs from belgium‘ post from a while back?  The same group of people behind that political stunt has been pretty active on the internet lately trying to save net neutrality lately.  Apparently they have some insider information from a few top ISPs confirming their plans for a tiered internet system.

If you haven’t heard anything about net neutrality;  THIS IS BAD.   As they correctly put, it would basically lead to the end of the internet.  It would change your internet subscription to something like the way you pay for television.  You’d buy the basic package and have access to wikipedia, yahoo, msn, nbc, abc, disney, etc or you could go for a bigger/more expensive package which includes google, youtube, myspace, facebook, etc.  (These aren’t official listings, just examples.)

Why is this bad? For one, it gives ISPs too much control over what you can and can’t view.  There are many people out there who make a living off of their websites.  Unfortunately these people will probably have to go get a new job since the traffic to their websites would drastically drop(unless they can afford to pay ISPs to include their website in one of the cheap tiers.)

MMORPGs or any multi-player games? You’d have to purchase a higher tier package to connect to these custom servers and you’d see a drop in players/competition because not everyone will want to pay this much.

PORN? Porn would probably be in a tier all to itself and probably wouldn’t be heavily advertised.  You’re pretty well fucked if you only use the internet for porn.

Watch this video from iPower that has Tania in it

From Wikipedia:

“Niki Belucci (born March 10, 1983) is a Hungarian erotic House music DJ, often seen hosting events nearly topless, however she is also known for her childhood gymnastics achievements and her 6 months spent as a pornographic actress.”

The girl you see here?  She was a porn star.  Maybe not an extremely famous porn star, but one none the less.  Now, she’s a (usually-topless) DJ.

I’ve only started listening to a few of her mixes so I can’t comment on whether or not she’s any good.   I would probably go just to watch her though.

I told my friend Levi I’d post a video of him and his sister covering Anyone Else But You by The Moldy Peaches, so here it is.

If you like it, please give it a good rating or at least comment.

Do you use Microsoft Window’s Bitlocker?   TrueCrypt?  DMCrypt?  Or whatever the hell Apple calls their disk encryption?

If you do.  Here’s something for you to think about.   That encryption key is more vulnerable than you probably realize.  It’s always going to be sitting somewhere in your ram while you’re logged onto your system.  If you put your machine to sleep, it’s going to be there.   Even if you completely power off your laptop/computer, it will still be sitting in that ram chip for at least a little while.

This video demonstrates an attack against Bitlocker:

Want to feel safe again?

• Always shutdown your computer.  Not sleep,hibernate, or any other lowpower state.
• Find a program to scramble your ram on shutdown.
• Don’t use liquid nitrogen to cool your ram.
• Reevaluate your encryption needs, because most likely you don’t need to encrypt the WHOLE disk.  If you’re using linux; look into setting up encryption per user per their home folder.
