This is not hacking, this isn't protesting, this is anarchy, and these jackasses deserve the brutality they get.

And for godsake stop using the term "Hacktivism!" First of all it sounds retarded, it poisons the public's prespective of hackers, and generally confuses everyone.

Yeah CrimeThinc and Shapeshifter, you really "fight the man" when you stick a banana in the tailpipe of a bus. Whoopity-fucking-do.

These are those people you just wish would get the hell off your side.

I agree, and thats a mistake.

Think of it this way. You are in a car racing down hill with 2 other people, 1 is driving and the other in the passenger seat, with you in the back. You are approaching a bridge that is halfway raised, and you have no brakes. The Driver says "Hmmm, I'll punch the gas to try and get us over the rising bridge."

At this point, you are worried. The driver sounds a little crazy sometimes, and not too good of a public speaker. Even though you don't like his plan at all, you don't feel you have any alternatives that have any less chance of killing you.

So the passenger doesn't have to convince you the driver is stupid and you might die, what he has to do is convince you that his idea (open the door, tuck and roll) is better for your survivial.

... ... ok then. My point is Kerry doesn't needs to harp on Bush's total failures in Iraq, education, etc, because most moderates and liberal conservatives already know that. What he needs to present himself in a way that the moderates and liberal conservatives feel comfortable with jumping out of Bush's wild car for.

Fed-up Heinz-Kerry: 'shove it'

The CVS tree and nightly build of Stripe Snoop now includes support for keyboard based magstripe readers, such as those made by Cherry Keyboard.
http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/advanced-line/keyboard-magnetic-stripe-card-read-series-g81-7000-8000.htm

While support is still primitive, you no longer need to build your own reader from parts to capture raw bitstreams. Futhermore, the cost of a Cherry keyboard is about 1/2 of what it costs to get the parts! A Force Mode has also been added to parse damaged and nonstandard cards.

Stripe Snoop builds for Linux and Windows, with BSD/Mac support in the near future.
