RE: Quotes From HOPE 5

Stripe Snoop ver 1.2

- Added support for Linux and Unix-like systems! Must be run
as root however, because of direct I/O requirements.
- Create track-generic parser, to extract fields from a
decoded track, given a set of field delimiters.
- Luhn algorithm (AKA MOD10) implemented to detect proper
credit card/debit card account numbers.
- Can detect Visa credit cards, displays account number,
expiration date, and encrypted pin.

If you are interested in developing for Stripe Snoop, email me. The next step is USB interfacing.

Sealab 2021 Episode list with transcripts

] This series of articles takes a look at the consumer
] desktop processors that have borne the Pentium name,
] beginning with the original Pentium up through today's
] Pentium 4 (Prescott) and Pentium M divisions. The
] overview is general enough that for the most part it
] should be accessible to the nonspecialist, and it should
] give you a sense of the major differences between each
] generation of Pentiums.

Perhaps the best article I have ever read overviewing the Pentium architecture, and its advances. The article is an easy read, though if its been a while since you've read something like P&H (Patterson and Hennessy), you might have some trouble.

The Pentium: An Architectural History

These few quotes pretty much summarize all of HOPE 5.

"How are you going to get into Grad school without getting an undergrad?" "Thats a good questions, but I'm working on it!" -Virgil about Grad School.

"Fuck you and your adjectives" -Rattle

"How do you lose a black man in Chinatown?" -Stankdawg

"Have you ever worked with smart cards?"
"...no"
"Would you like to work with smart cards?"
"... Yes." -Germans after my magstripe talk

"Come on! Yesterday I saw a bum with a cell phone." "Yeah, we are forcing you into the next store we find and you are buying a phone." - Abaddon And Decius

"Do these posters look, ... I don't know, a little left to you?" - Rattle about HOPE.

"Nick, Door... door... DOOR!" -Acidus, in the car.

"What are you guys doing on this roof?" -Security

"Stop talking, Billy and I are still having a 'Damn!' moment." -Abaddon

] We got to listen to Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple
] computer and hacker legend speak today with his HOPE
] keynote.

This speech has something I had never seen in countless shows about Woz or Apple. It talks about *why* he did and thought the way he did, as well as how he taught kids in school.

] The NAACP received a letter from the White House three
] weeks ago declining the invitation because of scheduling
] conflicts and thanking them for understanding.

] The letter was signed by presidential scheduler Melissa
] Bennett.

I hope to God the African-American voters don't turn the other cheek.

I like the last paragraph best:

"White House spokesman Jim Morrell said Wednesday that the president has spoken about "equal opportunity and equal rights for all Americans" in many public places."

i.e. words /= actions

CNN.com - Bush declines NAACP invitation - Jul 8, 2004
