Hardware Hacker's Korner: Electromagnetic Pulse Generator in a backpack
by Razer 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

(Snigger) The backpack nuke, the B-54 Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SADM) - entered into the US arsenal in 1964. The weapon was only 18 inches tall and 12 inches in diameter, yet was as powerful as a thousand tons of TNT. Special Forces units called "Green Light teams" would prep in using SADMs for tactical strikes behind enemy The use of SADMs was green lighted by the US military for use both within and outside NATO countries. In the case of an enemy advance, SADMs would be set off to destroy key infrastructure preventing the Soviets from acquiring it. Greenlight teams were also prepared to use SADMs to destroy installations in Warsaw Pact countries, including enemy bunkers, rail lines, and anti-aircraft grid locations. Some Green Light team instructors would insist their team had to stay within visual range of the detonation to ensure success. More... But don't tell those alt-right gunnut neonazi xtian identity folks. They might get ideas. http://www.businessinsider.com/9-facts-about-the-uss-backpack-nukes-2014-2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Light_Teams

Molestation of the Mind: Feminizing Males and Mainstreaming Perversion
by Coordinator 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

The inevitable backlash/ response to the violent decades long 'marginalization of the mainstream' by the "Liberal Leftys" continues... *MOLESTATION OF THE MIND: FEMINIZING MALES AND MAINSTREAMING PERVERSION* http://newswithviews.com/Daubenmire/dave496.htm " All of the sudden the word pedophile has wriggled its way into mainstream America. Just like the diabolical double of transgenderism and homosexuality, a generation ago the mere mention of those illnesses was something whispered out of earshot of anyone under the age of eighteen. As the book of Ephesians clearly states there were some topics that warned we “let it not be named once among you.” Even thought this spiritual wickedness has been around since the fall of man, the idea that such deviancy would ever be taught to our children was unthinkable What is going on in our public schools is nothing less than moral molestation. I hate to go old fashioned on you but there was a time in America when we took seriously the crime of corruption of a minor. "

NES Classic: Hacked
by grarpamp 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

http://kotaku.com/people-have-started-hacking-nintendos-nes-classic-and-a-1… https://www.reddit.com/r/nesclassicmods/ It was only a matter of time before people found a way to hack Nintendo’s NES Classic, and that time has come. Earlier this week, modders trading tips on a Russian forum discovered a way to add ROMs to add extra games to the system that was previously limited to only thirty. A modder going by the name madmonkey posted a guide to hacking Nintendo’s NES Classic on a Russian forum last Wednesday. His method requires having a save file in the starting slot for Super Mario Bros., but no actual mechanical or electronic alterations to the hardware, allowing owners to potentially add ROMs of old NES games to the hardware if they are brave enough to be on the front lines of experimenting with new hacks. The exploit involves connecting the console to a computer via a USB cable... Now with 700+ games.

How did this not lead to the end of asset forfeiture in the US of A?

Is there some sort of secret court opinion that says that because all drug trafficking in the US is from the proceeds of CIA operations, the government can steal it at any time? Anything is believable at this point.

Barrett Brown legal Fund Sues DOJ for Surveilling Its Donors
by Razer 08 Feb '17

08 Feb '17

Who needs Cloudflare in these new golden oldie days of TrumpelOrangeSkin when the DOJay can just plain old stalk your contributors “The subpoena claimed that the information it requested would be used at the trial of the jailed journalist. However, the identities of, and the amounts donated by, the journalist’s supporters are completely irrelevant to the charges levied against the journalist,” the group says in its filing. Indeed, no such information was presented at trial. The real purpose was to “unlawfully surveil the donors in violation of the First Amendment,” the suit says. “Learning that these records were sought and obtained was highly unsettling,” said Kevin Gallagher, Free Barrett Brown’s former director said in a statement. “If we don’t send a message to the government that it’s not okay to target private legal defense efforts, then they will continue to get away with these sort of things.” “The donations were acts of political expression, showing the donors’ frustrations with what they perceived to be government bullying and prosecutorial overreach,” the lawsuit said. “Donations made in support of litigation are protected by the First Amendment. The donors violated no law by sending money to support Mr. Brown’s legal defense, and instead were exercising their constitutionally protected rights.” In full: https://theintercept.com/2017/02/07/barrett-brown-defense-fund-accuses-just…
