Nowadays, that is gone. Turn on G4 today and you'll probably get nothing about technology, or even video games. You'll have pro-wrestling or some Japanese obstacle course. Here's the schedule on G4 as I'm writing this article:

Yeah... that's unique.. What was once a good source for technical news and discussion is now... Spike... At least they still have XPlay and AOTS (what was once The Screen Savers before they fired anyone who knew anything and appealed a different part of the average male). And it's not like the technical side is gone completely... right?

4Chan is now the hang-out for hackers? That's news to me. I always thought 4chan was where people went when they wanted child porn, gore, cheap laughs, adolescent insults, overdone MEMES, and the occasional trolling. But I guess I was wrong because if the almighty G4 says it's true, by god it must be true! Nevermind the huge distinction that has been made between white hat and black hat hacking, the difference between hacking and cracking, or who &quote;hackers&quote; grow up to be. Nope, a bunch of script kiddies run an auto-voting program to make Moot the most influential person on a relatively insecure poll and 4chan becomes a hacker haven.

In case you don't know, let me explain to you what a script kiddie is, a script kiddie is a person who in a bid for some attention, finds a program usually made by a black hat hacker and without any care as to how or why it works, uses to excess. These methods while disgusting, are inarguably effective and are all-in-all very easy to do.

So G4, please either learn a few basic lessons or just go die

You all should be able to log in with your old logins, send me an email if not.  However if you joined within the past year (after June 2008) you'll need to remake your account.

The correspondence chess player isn't here for now, until I find an installlation of it or figure how to install it manually.  I plan to put a bunch more stuff in the arcade.

You'll notice the new entries up top, tBlog and WLM.  tBlog is a MMS Blog, i.e. I can post by sending an MMS message.  If there's any interest among the 3 or so people who'll read this within a month, I'll post a public one where anyone can post to it.  There's also a web messenger to connect to WLM

The site looks different, yes?  Well it is.

As such, your old accounts are dust, make new ones

Some of the old features are gone, new ones are being formed

Give me some time to get everything going again, mmkay?

I came accross a basic java programming puzzle, which was really easy, but I made it a little funner by adding an extra element, so the challenge is:

Given 2 int values, return true if either of them is in the range 10..20 inclusive, using 2 or less comparators (==,<,<=,>,>=,!=,?).

See what we come up with in the comments.

Go to cheapcoke.com! 

Don't you love Web 1.0?

But the one thing that site did right was pick a domain name.  I wanted cheap coke, so they buy cheap coke.com.  Simplicity is beautiful.
