There’s only 20 million different For Dummies books out there already, but hey - why not create your own cover for one?

The RIAA has filed a complaint against Mediaservices, the company that owns AllofMP3.com, on behalf of EMI, Sony BMG, Universal Music, and Warner Music. The lawsuit has been filed in a New York District Court.
The RIAA alleges that in the third quarter of this year alone 11 million songs were illegally downloaded from AllofMP3. They are seeking $150,000 per violation which totals approximately $1.65 trillion.
AllofMP3 argue that they pay royalties through a Russian royalty agency, ROMS. The RIAA does not recognise ROMS. They say the “defendant’s entire business… amounts to nothing more than a massive infringement of plaintiffs’ exclusive rights…”

Sure, you could use encryption on your wireless connection, but why not have some fun with them instead? I’m sure everyone has browsed admin shares, printed 100’s of goatse/tubgirl/lemon party pictures to printers and other random immature things - but this is way more clever.
Make all their images load upside down…
The first thing to do is divide the network into 2 parts - trusted and untrusted. Use the DHCP server to identify MAC’s and give out relevant ip’s.
/etc/dhcpd.conf
ddns-updates off;
ddns-update-style interim;
authoritative;
shared-network local {
subnet *.*.*.* netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range *.*.*.* *.*.*.*;
option routers *.*.*.*;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name "XXXXX";
option domain-name-servers *.*.*.*;
deny unknown-clients;
host trusted1 {
hardware ethernet *:*:*:*:*:*;
fixed-address *.*.*.*;
}
}
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.10;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
allow unknown-clients;
}
}
Now, set iptables to farward everything to a transparent squid proxy running on port 80.
/sbin/iptables -A PREROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1
The machine runs squid with a redirector that downloads images, uses mogrify to turn them upside down and then serves them out of it’s local web server.
The redirection script
#!/usr/bin/perl
$|=1;
$count = 0;
$pid = $$;
while (<>) {
chomp $_;
if ($_ =~ /(.*\.jpg)/i) {
$url = $1;
system("/usr/bin/wget", "-q", "-O","/space/WebPages/images/$pid-$count.jpg", "$url");
system("/usr/bin/mogrify", "-flip","/space/WebPages/images/$pid-$count.jpg");
print "http://127.0.0.1/images/$pid-$count.jpg\n";
}
elsif ($_ =~ /(.*\.gif)/i) {
$url = $1;
system("/usr/bin/wget", "-q", "-O","/space/WebPages/images/$pid-$count.gif", "$url");
system("/usr/bin/mogrify", "-flip","/space/WebPages/images/$pid-$count.gif");
print "http://127.0.0.1/images/$pid-$count.gif\n";
}
else {
print "$_\n";;
}
$count++;
}
End Result:

Hey, we all like to take cracks at Microsoft right? The best part is how he says it must be picking up an “echo”, shouldn’t it at least be CLOSE?

MyHeritage.com allows you to upload a picture of your face and use face recognition software to find what celebrity you look like. I decided to try it out assuming I would be a perfect match to some famous male model - the result? Eminem

David Hasselhoff was repotedly kicked out of Wimbledon because he was too drunk, forcing a guard to walk him off the tournament grounds after he repeatedly got in arguments with the security staff.
First, the 53-year-old actor had a blazing row outside Centre Court. Guards would not let him in because he did not have a valid ticket. Then he was banned from press and players’ bars as he tried to get another drink. Hasselhoff, who has fought a long battle with booze, yelled at staff: “You should let me in. Do you know who I am? I’m The Hoff.” Hasselhoff then downed beer after beer and was later seen staggering… Security chiefs ordered Hoff out. One guard said: “He was steaming drunk.”

We know what happened to Ben in the situation with the bike, but what if it had happened to a different player?
Drew Bledsoe - Same thing as Ben, but it would’ve been on a stationary bike.
Eli Manning - Archie would have intervened and forced Philip Rivers to get on the motorcycle.
Donovan McNabb - He would have come under scorching criticism from Terrell Owens.
Mark Brunell - He would have thanked God for giving him that wonderful experience and would have tried to baptize the driver of the car.
Brett Favre - He would have received enormous national coverage and sympathy, and would decide to contemplate retirement for a couple of months.
Brad Johnson - Nobody would have noticed.
Rex Grossman - This is a trick question, because Grossman would’ve been in the hospital before the wreck even happened.
Josh McCown - Matt Millen would’ve traded him for a wide receiver.
Chris Simms - People would’ve thought he was Brad Johnson.
Michael Vick - The media would be commenting on how he face-planted spectacularly, and no other quarterback could’ve done it.
Matt Schaub - Everyone would still want him because he torched the Patriots.
Drew Brees - He would’ve been traded or cut because, hey, when you’ve got Reggie Bush you don’t need any other players.
Jake Delhomme - He would have survived and been okay, but people would credit Julius Peppers for saving him.
Alex Smith -He would’ve secretly been grateful for missing the 49ers’ season.
Matt Leinart - He would’ve dropped drastically on the draft chart amidst rumors that he can’t take a hit.
Matt Hasselbeck - He would’ve been embarrassed, because five seconds before the crash he would have predicted that he would beat the car.
Marc Bulger - (Long silence). I got nothing. There’s not a single thing about Bulger that’s interesting.
Gus Frerotte - He’d be fine, his head has hurt before…
J.P. Losman - He would’ve overshot and missed the car completely.
Daunte Culpepper - Three years ago, he would have crushed the car and kept on going. Now, he would be injured and the driver of the car would have ended up with everything he was carrying.
Chad Pennington - He would’ve been injured. Duh.
Tom Brady - Angels would have descended and saved Tom from harm, and then after the other car stopped, Tom would have climbed into the back seat and given the driver a neck massage to calm her down.
Charlie Batch - Pittsburgh would be fine, because elite backup Omar Jacobs would fill in for him.
Steve McNair - He would have walked it off, because Steve McNair is tough, man. He’s really tough. Everyone would have been talking about how tough he is.
Kyle Boller - Out of anger, he would’ve hurled the car 60 yards on one knee.
Carson Palmer - Kimo Von Oelhoffen would have been ticketed for an illegal left turn.
Charlie Frye - Trent Dilfer would return to Cleveland,take over the team, win a Super Bowl*, and then get cut when Elvis Grbac decided to come out of retirement
Peyton Manning - During his first year back, the NFL would institute a special rule that nobody is allowed to touch Manning, and he only has to say the name of a receiver for it to count as a completed pass.
Vince Young - Pfft. As if anything could hit Vince Young…
Byron Leftwich - He would’ve been okay, but Fred Taylor would have been hospitalized with sympathy pains.
David Carr - He would’ve been fine. He takes harder hits than that every Sunday.
Trent Green - If you think that car would’ve made it past Willie Roaf and Will Shields, you’re crazy.
Aaron Brooks - Al Davis would blame Art Shell and then fire him.
Philip Rivers - Nobody knows…nobody has any idea at all.
Jake Plummer - He wouldn’t have hit the windshield at all, because Broncos only hit in the back
