I'm sure there will be someone with one. There are several in my neighborhood, though I haven't really connected to them. (I should steal someone else's news gigs. :D

WEP? WPA? You might be able to break 64bit WEP if you were some kinda crazy hacker, but I doubt you'd be able to get on 128bit WEP or WPA. (Most things don't support WPA anyway though, if I'm not mistaken.) I use 64bit WEP, because I don't have to write as many digits down for my keys. :D

looks like page 17 to me... Image

Hey, just so everyone knows, it appears that agents of positive change are at work in Tokyo. It would seem Sigma detractors are committing political disobedience by defacing the ever-present face of big-brother-K9 that have popped up all over the fair city over the past year. Good goin guys. You know we are behind you 100%! Image

Admiral,

I figured out a way around the error you're getting when trying to run the windows version of snort...use linux.

I writing this post using the latest bootable distro of P.H.L.A.K. and snort is compiled as a part of it. When I get the WLAN card drivers installed, I'll snort the key for my school's weak ass encrypted network and post the times...

OVER!

I'm pushing for page 18, though 18 really isn't the best number in the worl. It's a lot better than 17 though. McNevin, it's like Stillwater. If you blink, you'll miss it. Still waters run deep. :D

Page 18 is going to look like it's tearin' ass around the back yard. But it'll be standing still.

In your mad drive to advance this thread, don't forget its original purpose which is for you to go get me a giant inflatable bottle of wine.

That bottle of wine's gotta be waaaayyyyy deflated by now. Unless it is a shiraz which are famous for their ability to stand up to 18 pages o' pounding.

I won't have that wine's name mentioned in this thread!!! Dumb fruity wine!!! Actually, I've had one or two that I liked ok, but it was usually after drinking other wines that i liked more before moving on to the s----z. :D

Yes, I haven't forgotten what the thread is about, but I don't see too many Papio displays in recent days. I'll have to look in the alcohol section of Uwaji again, and see if it is still there.

Shiraz is good, well some are anyway. Except for this horrible california shiraz i had. California has enough wines, they should leave the shiraz to the auzzies.

Well, heh, technically speaking they make Syrah not Shiraz. Both Shiraz and Syrah (and the french equivalent (red) 'Hermitage') are among my least favorite wines. But it is true they are known for their long life. Maybe one fo these days I should go about putting my personal wine guide online and open it up for more reviews.

And the number of the pages shall be 18!

The only downside to running phlak, would be the fact that i would have to run it for 2 weeks, without seeing my windows. That would suck.

I wonder if airsnort can be done in segments, and then have the progress saved. For example i would just "phlak it up" while i was at work, and then id come home, pause and reboot back to windows.

Actually, a good Syrah is delicious. I've seen people refer to them as the same thing, (perhaps even the Wine Spectator,) but I've noticed a sizeable difference between a decent Syrah, and anything that I've ever seen with the title of Shiraz. I don't know why that is, but I've observed it over several bottles of each. Rixler LOVES Shiraz. He gets them all the time, and they are always too fruity, and somewhat sweet. I actually love a good Syrah. (Again, I know they are said to be the same.) Perhaps it's the difference between the versions I buy, and the versions Rixler buys, but there is a HUGE difference. The ones I get are more of a tart, dark-fruit flavor, [fruit - fruity / tart - tarty???] :D They taste very close to a nice Pinot Noir. (Kind of a tart black cherryish flavor.) The ones I've gotten tend to be a bit thicker as well, with nice legs. I refuse to classify the two together, unless like I said, it's completely to do to the difference between Drunken Rixler, and my own purchases. (Likely, though we've gotten quite a few of each.) I do spend a bit more on my wine, but still, you'd think over several samples that at least something would be consistent.

Perhaps Syrah is used as an "upper tier" term for the same process of winemaking. I don't know.

Shiraz and Syrah are names for the same grape. It is most definitely NOT the same as Petit Sirah, which is grown mostly in California.

The Shiraz/Syrah grape is called Syrah in the US, France and other countries. In Australia it is called Shiraz, where it is considered the finest red wine grown there. It is certainly the most widely planted red grape in Australia.

The Shiraz grape was once thought to have originated in Persia, but recent research indicates the grape is a native of the Rhone valley, in France. It is best known for its usage in Hermitage, in the Rhone valley. The grape creates a heavy red wine that has recently fallen out of favour with many wine lovers.

Shiraz is known for its spicy blackberry, plum, and peppery flavors. Often there are additional notes of licorice, bitter chocolate and mocha. Shiraz is even affected by growing temperature - warmer climates bring out the mellower flavors of plum, while cooler temperatures spice up the wine.

Shiraz goes very well with beef and other hearty foods. It also goes well with Indian, Mexican, and other spicy foods.
Incidentally, I have never had a Shiraz that cost more than $10. Shiraz has always been low on my list. I don't mind it but I don't particularly like it. The only Syrah that I ever really enjoyed was from Chateau Ste. Michelle. It pretty much just tasted like an expensive Shiraz. I think your Syrah v. Shiraz observation, J3RK , is pretty spot on, basically just due to quality. You don't see too many high priced expensive Shiraz making it to our shores. And why would you when we have so many fantastic red wines in this part of the country.

mmm, I am thirsty now. Image

This post was made possible by bluetooth, and my cellphone.

Just wanted to let you know i could connect to the internet with my cell, at a speed that is almost as fast as we originally had at the monkeylair.

115KBPS. I wonder what this is costing me?
