So last night Keen and I went to Denver and Boulder to buy software. Not just any software, but Battlefield 1942, the bestest game by Electronic Arts. It’s normally $44.95 a pop, but CompUSA was selling them for $19.99 … when you’re buying 25 copies, that adds up really fast. So instead of waiting around and buying them at the high price, we decided to buy them at the low price. The local CompUSA only had 4 copies … after talking to the manager there, David Pierce (props!), we pointed us to the Aurora/Denver store, and then to the Boulder store. So we drove up to the Aurora store, which is right off of 225 & Alameda and bought 12 copies there … which isn’t enough. We left there at 8:15pm and made a mad dash to Boulder to get them there … showed up at like 3 minutes till closing — all the employees knew who we were and that we were coming π … we purchased our final 9 copies there, ate some good food at Siamese Plate To Go, picked up some beer and then headed home, with a short stop to Paris on the Platte in Denver, which, I might add, is a very awesome coffee shop / cybercafe place. I wish we had something like it here. I spoke with Mr. Case at length today on AIM. Talk about being quite the pimped out MOFO. He get props on Too Short’s latest CD, went to Vegas and met Aria Giovanni, drives a Benz, has a mad job at MCI … just wow. He has pics to back it all up too. I think he is one of the most successful people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. There is a new openssh exploit out there running around and it affects everything currently out there, including all OSs(open/freebsd, all linuxes, *all of them*). The patch is like 4 lines … [L=http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/crypto/openssh/buffer.c.diff?r1=1.1.1.6&r2=1.1.1.7&f=h]Here is the diff[/L] between the old and new buffer.c … just replace, recompile and install. Also, nmap 3.45 is out today and it’s freaking awesome. Get it at [L=http://www.insecure.org/nmap]http://www.insecure.org/nmap[/L] Quick Update – just realized that my [L]ink parser was broken so I fixed it … you can use & and ? without fear now.
