Adak: The Next Silicon Valley
(Cross-posted from The Free Speech Zone)
“We make GSM look like a wireless access point. We make it that simple,” describes one of the project’s three founders, Glenn Edens.
The technology starts with the “they-said-it-couldn’t-be-done” open source software, OpenBTS. OpenBTS is built on Linux and distributed via the AGPLv3 license. When used with a software-defined radio such as the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP), it presents a GSM air interface (“Um”) to any standard GSM cell phone, with no modification whatsoever required of the phone. It uses open source Asterisk VoIP software as the PBX to connect calls, though it can be used with other soft switches, too. (More stats in a minute that I promise will blow away your inner network engineer.)

4chan Attacks MPAA and RIAA in Mass Cyber Disobedience
(Crossposted from The Free Speech Zone)
Over the last 36 hours or so, the ‘Anonymous’ masses and many unaffiliated sympathizers joined forces to attack the MPAA’s website. Continuing with ‘Operation Payback’, today an attack will be launched on the RIAA. The ultimate in decentralized protests will go ahead and there’s not a lawyer or police force in the world who can do anything about it. Is this the protest of the future?
Short answer? Yes.

Let’em Know Who’s Boss
with the 1st Battalion, 1st Marines of the Asshole Unit:
Following a call to arms yesterday, the masses inhabiting the anonymous 4chan boards have carried out a huge assault on a pair of anti-piracy enemies. The website of Aiplex Software, the anti-piracy outfit which has been DDoSing torrent sites recently, is currently down having been DDoS’d. They are joined in the Internet wasteland by the MPAA’s website, also currently under huge and sustained attack.

My Political Bucket List
(Cross-posted from The Free Speech Zone)
1) Win an election solely on the platform that I will beat the fuck out of any politician that votes against funding for 9/11 related victims, returning troops, and sick children, with a Baseball bat while dressed as one of The Warriors.
2) Legalize Marijuana (Duh!)
3) Perform a “Statler and Waldorf” routine during the State of the Union with Bernie Sanders (after legalizing marijuana).
