Haunting photos discovered from early 20th century Antarctic heroic era expidition.

Its a haunting reminder that history will repeat itself. I wonder 100 or so years from now we will discover flash cards from failed mars missions. Might be a cool art project to do something along those lines to build up a fictional historical documentary kinda like the Europa report.

"It's the first example that I'm aware of, of undeveloped negatives from a century ago from the Antarctic heroic era. There's a paucity of images from that expedition." -Steve meltzer.

Paranoia

So today a friend of mine showed me a little article about how some F*tard's might be able to get access to ones RSA keys or other sensitive information by simply placing a cell phone next to your computers for about one hour or so.

I guess its kinda building on the whole mid 90s TEMPEST scare regarding EMF radiation. This is purely accoustic in nature.

Hmm.... 


So it kinda reminds me of a few other articles about airgap jumping bios viruses. http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2013/11/01/the-badbios-virus-that-jumps-airgaps-and-takes-over-your-firmware-whats-the-story/

It makes me wonder if we are starting to get into a time when we will need to have switches to physically and electrically disconnect Mic's and speakers.

With that said we may also need to start migrating to passively cooled embeded applications and start looking at laminating our motherboards with alternating mixtures of non conductive and Pb/Fe impregnated epoxy.

Welcome the kingdom of epoxy glop tops back to our humble geek caves.

    

Al Goldstein yet another porn pioneer Bites the dust at 77

On the jump   Bad ass mother fucker captain of the giant 11 foot middle finger sculpture on his front lawn died 77 years old in eastern hospice after fighting a long medical battle.

Even from his deathbed the rotten bastard rocked the one finger salute. I only hope ill be just as fierce in my end of days as well.

I just totally had to do this.

Why yes sir I am a strange duck.
