You only want to watch an age restricted video after all. No harm in that right?<br /><br />I came across a useful workaround tonight and thought i'd share. If you've ever wondered how to avoid those annoying age verification pages directing you to sign-in or signup to an account to view adult content on the YouTubes and other streaming video sites, this post may help.<br /><br />EDIT: It seems embedded videos on some 3rd party websites may also circumvent certain workplace internet filters into the bargain.<br /><br />I'll provide some context behind this discovery I suppose... The internet has been buzzing this week over the controversial Iranian Election results. Today came the (inevitable?) posting of an extremely graphic video capturing the aftermath of a fatal shooting of a female Iranian Protester. The video is most definitely <span style="font-weight:bold;">NSFW</span>. Consider yourself warned >> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/verify_age?&next_url=/watch%3Fv%3Dfmi-LePl894">http://www.youtube.com/verify_age?&next_url=/watch%3Fv%3Dfmi-LePl894</a><br /><br />This workaround consists of switching the regular video link with the embedded version.<br /><br />A regular video url<br />>> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0</a><br /><br />The embedded video url<br />>> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/oHg5SJYRHA0">http://www.youtube.com/v/oHg5SJYRHA0</a><br /><br />You can make a bookmarklet to automate this url edit by dumping the javascript below into the location field of the bookmark properties:<br /><br /><blockquote>javascript:var%20v=window.location.href.match(/%25%33%44([A-Za-z0-9_\-]+)$/)[1];if(v)window.location.href=%22http://www.youtube.com/v/%22+v</blockquote><br />EDIT: A firefox add-on <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9128">You Old Enough?</a> in conjunction with <a href="http://www.bugmenot.com/">bug me not</a> >> <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9128">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9128</a>aeonicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15407630712617721482noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949325.post-11205592053755581512009-03-25T15:34:00.004+11:002009-03-25T15:44:36.999+11:00Warp20 1989-2009<a href="http://www.warp20.net/">warp20.net</a><br /><br /><blockquote>Create The Definitive Warp Album.

According to a French law adopted in 2006, distributing such software is an offense that can lead to a 3 year jail sentence, as well as a fine up to 300,000 euros.</blockquote><br /><br />via: <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/music-industry-takes-soulseek-to-court-081120/">torrentfreak.com/music-industry-takes-soulseek-to-court-081120/</a><br /><br /><br /><br />Here is the official word from slsk on the forum:<br /><br /><blockquote>our court date on the 13th of nov. was with the SCPP, and we still have yet to hear about the results of that! keep your fingers crossed<br /></blockquote><br /><br />and<br /><br /><blockquote>well the best case scenario is that they drop the case in france, which would force them to properly pursue us in the US. we have no employees or subsidiaries in france, so it seems rather ridiculous for them to sue us there. however, with this new ruling (mentioned above) it is possible that the case will not be thrown out due to non-jurisdiction, as it may have been a week ago.<br /><br />if it IS thrown out, since french copyright law is different from US copyright law, it would take quite a bit on their part to comply with the DMCA in the same way that we do (the DMCA requires that all parties involved comply in a certain manner before a legal pursuit). the theory is that the SCPP, SACEM, and SPPF will not actively pursue american companies on US soil because let's face it...it's a pain in the ass.<br /><br />the worst case scenario is that we lose, they win, and are able to pursue us more easily in the US. the reason why we sought representation in france is because if the SCPP were to win a default judgment due to us not representing ourselves, they could easily get a judgment against us in the US. at least if we put up a fight, it shows the US courts that we are actively defending ourselves on foreign soil...which shows that we have nothing to hide. also if they win, they will most likely be awarded a monetary sum by the french court, which they would not be able to collect unless we show up in france for some reason...so that would mean that it would be very dangerous for either of us to go to france, which is a shame.<br /><br />in addition, they will cut off all french users from soulseek...they have done it with other p2p networks.<br /><br />our case is supposedly a landmark case in france, and we have what is considered to be the best representation in the p2p world there, Hugoavocats. unfortunately, they are not very forthcoming with information after each hearing, so i still do not know the outcome of the trial. apparently judgment is handed down 2 to 3 weeks after arguments are heard, so let's see what happens. as i said before, keep your fingers crossed...this will mean a lot for french p2p users and p2p networks that have users in france!</blockquote><br />link: <a

Electrodes were pushed into the man's brain and stimulated with an electric current. Instead of losing appetite, the patient instead had an intense experience of déjà vu. He recalled, in intricate detail, a scene from 30 years earlier. More tests showed his ability to learn was dramatically improved when the current was switched on and his brain stimulated.</p></blockquote><p>via: <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/scientists-discover-way-to-reverse-loss-of-memory-775586.html">independent.co.uk</a></p><p>wiki: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_brain_stimulation">Deep_brain_stimulation</a></p>aeonicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15407630712617721482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949325.post-81663427114015539132008-01-31T13:07:00.000+11:002008-01-31T17:21:16.447+11:00Autism in a pill<p>Apparently the ability to unleash and banish the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Tammet">Daniel Tammet</a> in us all is only just around the corner...<br /></p><blockquote>Over the past year, researchers have demonstrated several times that they can turn mice autistic by messing with brain chemistry -- and then "cure" them using the same techniques.

Information printed on the card was to include one's name, photo, signature, card, and DVA entitlements. Those particular requirements aren't any more onerous than what the US requires for a driver's license, but the Access Card didn't stop there. Each card would have been tied to an individual user via a specific card number and a corresponding PIN required to access the card's more detailed information . <p> Encrypted information contained within the card's RFID chip would have included a person's legal name, date of birth, gender, address, signature, card number, card expiration date, and Medicare number. Provisions were also included that would allow additional information deemed to be necessary for either "the administration or purposes of the Act."</p></blockquote><p> </p>Complete with biometric data it would have spelt the dawn of a truly Orwellian era had the Howard Government held power for another term. It now seems to have been finally put to bed by the <a href="http://www.australianit.news.com.au/story/0,24897,22823422-15306,00.html">incoming Labor Government</a> slashing 1.2 billion dollars off the budget!<br /><br />This truly is cause for celebration during this most festive time of year.
