Stop Paying For Sh*t

asu — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 07:47:30 +0000

What follows is a short compendium of scams, grifts, cons, and general recommendations for the perpetration of blatant thievery, all centered around the exploitable playground that is the University. Yet this isn’t a guide just for college students. On the contrary, the majority of the tactics described herein are intended to be put at the disposal of anyone who sets foot on a university campus, particularly if it’s for the express purpose of defraudment. One doesn’t even have to be the exact ‘college’ age, as extended learning programs are becoming all the more common (though naturally blending in will be a touch more difficult). At any rate, certain credibility props such as a backpack can serve to relay the impression that you are indeed a student at the particular college you plan to hit.

Those expecting newsworthy swindles akin to those seen in movies or sensationalist news reports will likely be disappointed. The cons that follow aren’t grandiose grifts about how to scam free tuition or expropriate scholarship funds. Rather, these are practical, everyday techniques that you can use to score some free grub, get a little extra cash, or procure some free books to read. The methods transcend the colour spectrum of legality, varying from the perfectly above-board activities, to shady gray zones of pseudo-legit operations, all the way down to downright illegalities. Similarly, the cons center around the exploitation of the university system and anyone affiliated with it. Students, professors, and other human gears of the higher education system are thus all
implicated as well. As such, you may find that some of the following methodology may conflict with your delicate ethical palate. Fear not, the remedy is quite simple: f**k off. If you don’t agree with anything below, don’t do it, and don’t read it. Close your eyes and pretend it doesn’t exist. I’ve also tried to keep rants about my personal politricks to a minimum, but they inevitably ooze in through the cracks of my mental cogency, so once again, bear with me or glaze over it if you don’t agree with anything.

Finally, realize that I don’t f**king know you (nor do I want to), nor do I know your local
college. All of these techniques will probably not work at your local university, but some likely will. This guide is custom tailored to the university system at large, not to your specific school. Further, realize that scams are inherently malleable, they’re meant to be manipulated to suit your own environment; if you blindly follow what’s written below, you’ll get your comeuppance sooner or later.

Tips for Adobe Photoshop CS3, How to Pick an image resolution (Understanding Image Resolution)

asu — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:34:06 +0000

After you have the concept of resampling under your belt, how do you know what size you should be resampling to? How many pixels do you need? Here are your general guidelines:
Photos for your inkjet printer:
Inkjet printers are stochastic printing devices: That is, they use a series of droplets to replicate each pixel in your image, as shown in Figure 2-12. In theory, the optimal image resolution is ƒ1?3 of the printer’s rated resolution.
For example, a printer rated at 720 ppi works best with images at 240 ppi.
1,440 ppi printer, the formula calls for an image resolution of 480 ppi (and that goes for the 2,880 x 1,440 printers, too). However, most folks find that regardless of the printer’s rating, they never need an image resolution higher than 300 ppi.
Web images: Ignore resolution. Ignore the entire Document Size area of the Image Size dialog box. Consider only the image’s pixel dimensions. Determine what area of the Web page the image will occupy and then resize to exactly those pixel dimensions.
Page layout programs and commercial printing: If your image is to be placed into a page layout program’s document and sent to a commercial printing facility, you need to know the line screen frequency (the resolution, so to speak) of the printing press on which the job will be run. Ask the print shop or the person handling the page layout. Your image resolution should be either exactly 1.5 times or exactly twice the line screen frequency. (You shouldn’t notice any difference in the final printed product with either resolution.)
PowerPoint presentations and word processing documents: Generally speaking, 72 ppi is appropriate for images that you place into a presentation or Word document. You should resize to the exact dimensions of the area on the page or slide that the image fills.

Resolution Revelations

asu — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:14:44 +0000

In this wonderful world of digital imaging, you see resolution used in four basic ways:
Image resolution: Image resolution is the size of your image’s individual pixels when you print. I go into greater detail about this concept in the upcoming section, “Picking an image resolution.”
Camera resolution: Digital cameras capture each image in a specific number of pixels. Check your camera’s user guide or open one of the images in Photoshop and choose Image? Image Size. Take a look at the number of pixels that your camera records for the width and for the height. Multiply the numbers together, divide by one million, and round off the result. (If you’re in the camera maker’s marketing department, make sure that you round up.) That’s the megapixel (MP) rating for the camera. Use it as a general guideline when shopping. If you create Web graphics or snapshot-size prints, 3 or 4 MP is fine. For large prints, you need at least 6 MP.
Monitor resolution: Monitor resolution determines how many pixels are visible on-screen. Whether you use a Mac or a PC, you set the monitor resolution at the system level (as shown in Figure 2-4). When you use a higher monitor resolution, you get a larger workspace, but each pixel is smaller, which might make some jobs tougher. Experiment to find a monitor resolution that works just right for you.
Mac: Click the blue Apple menu in the upper-left corner of the screen and choose System Preferences. Then click Displays. (Some Apple monitors have a button on the bezel that automatically opens the window for you.)
Windows: Choose Start?Control Panel and then double-click Display. Click the Settings tab to see what monitor resolutions are available.
Printer resolution: Unlike the three preceding terms, printer resolution doesn’t involve pixels. Rather, a printer resolution tells you how many tiny droplets of ink are sprayed on the paper. Remember that it takes several droplets to reproduce a single image pixel — you certainly don’t need an image resolution anywhere close to the printer’s resolution!
(See the following section for more on this.)

1) Converting to CID52 (if required)
If XS++ detects a DB2020 CID49 or CID51 phone, it will automatically ask if the user wants to upgrade. See The Screenshot Below:
CAUTION!!! If You Upgrade To CID52, You Can Not Revert Back To CID49 Or CID 51.

2) Backing up GDFS
Backing up the GDFS isn’t something which necessarily has to be done when flashing firmware, but it is a very good way to ensure you don’t damage your phone beyond repair.
Step 1.
Take battery out of phone and put back in (do not turn phone on). Open XS++ and click Connect. Hold down the “C” button on the phones keypad and connect the USB cable. If this is the first time you flash your phone you will need to install the Flash drivers I posted further up. If You Have Any Problems Doing So, See This Tutorial For Detailed Instructions On Installing USB Flash Drivers.

Step 2.
Click on the GDFS tab as shown in the picture.

Step 3.
Click “Backup GDFS” and wait (shouldn’t take more than about half a minute).

Step 4.
Done

3) Flashing the firmware
Step 1.
Take battery out of phone and put back in (do not turn phone on). Open XS++ and click Connect. Hold down the “C” button on the phones keypad and connect the USB cable.

Step 2.
Select the firmwares (make sure you extract them first) by clicking the “…” buttons or simply dragging the file from the explorer to the box (don’t get mixed up with FS and MAIN).
Click “Flash” and wait (this takes a while, 6-7 minutes is normal).

Step 3.
Flashing is done, you can breathe now

4) Customizing your phone
Compulsory if flashing FS
Step 1.
Take battery out of phone and put back in (do not turn phone on). Open XS++ and click Connect. Hold down the “C” button on the phones keypad and connect the USB cable.

Step 2.
Tick “Customize File System”, select model and region/CDA, click flash.
Click Here For Picking Right Region And CDA

Step 3.
Done.

5) Uploading files via FSX *optional*
FSX can be used as a way of customizing your handset just like step 4. This would be done if a user had a custpack they wanted to use which wasn’t in XS++ yet or adding or changing cam drivers, acoustics, disp driver’s etc.

Some Important Things You Need To Know Before Using FSX:
A: You cannot ‘download’ files from your phone.
B: Smartphones are not supported by the FSX function.
C: You cannot mark multiple files.
D: You cannot delete folders.
E: I’ve included a list of most used files in the end of this FSX section.
F: Files are overwritten if you upload a file with the same name..
(You don’t have to delete all the acoustic file before uploading new ones)

Step 1.
Open XS++ And Hit Connect. Remove And Reinsert Yor Battery And Connect Pressing “c” Button. Then Hit FSX Under Configurations.

Step 2.
Press ‘Start FSX’. Now, XS++ will load all the files and paths at once. Please have patience, this WILL take some time..
(normally a minute or two OR three!)

Step 3.
Now You Will See The File Structure Like Below.

Step 4.
Navigate in the FS using the FSX, once you have found a file you want to delete, mark it, and press ‘DELETE’.

Step 5.
Your Particular File Will Be Deleted.

Step 6.
Now Upload The Desired File. You May Use:
i) The Drag-And-Drop method, navigate and select the folder you want to upload the file(s) to, mark all the files, and move them over to “Enumerated Files”

ii)The Upload Method. Press ‘UPLOAD’, navigate to the file(s) you want to upload, mark them, and press ‘OPEN’.

Step 7.
Remember, after doing stuff using FSX, press SHUTDOWN!
Press ‘YES’ on the box that appears.

*) Recovering from a bad flash
*WARNING* flashing a GDFS that did not originally come from that exact handset may have severe consequences. By exact handset I mean your handset, not your friends unlocked handset, YOUR HANDSET!

If a flash goes bad, two things need to be done:
1. You need to flash the firmware for the model you had before (when you did the GDFS backup), and
2. You need to restore GDFS.

For flashing follow from step 3 above. Do the GDFS restore after flashing and customizing the handset.

Step 1.
Take battery out of phone and put back in (do not turn phone on). Open XS++ and click Connect. Hold down the “C” button on the phones keypad and connect the USB cable. If this is the first time you flash your phone you will need to install the Flash drivers I posted further up.

Step 2.
Click on the GDFS tab as shown in the picture.

Step 3.
Select the backup you wish to restore. Click “Write GDFS”.

Step 4.
Done

Anarkisme dan Islam

asu — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 03:06:38 +0000

Mengutip dari Wikipedia
Dalam agama Islam, kelompok anarkisme melakukan interpretasi terhadap konsep bahwa Islam adalah agama yang bercirikan penyerahan total terhadap Allah (bahasa Arab all?hu ????), yang berarti menolak peran otoritas manusia dalam bentuk apapun. Anarkis-Islam menyatakan bahwa hanya Allah yang mempunyai otoritas di bumi ini serta menolak ketaatan terhadap otoritas manusia dalam bentuk fatwa atau imam. Hal ini merupakan elaborasi atas konsep “tiada pemaksaan dalam beragama”. Konsep anarkisme-islam kemudian berkembang menjadi konsep-konsep lainnya yang mempunyai kemiripan dengan ideologi sosialis seperti pandangan terhadap hak milik, penolakan terhadap riba, penolakan terhadap kekerasan dan mengutamakan self-defense, dan lain-lain. Kelompok-kelompok dalam Islam yang sering diasosiasikan dengan anarkisme antara lain : Sufisme dan Kelompok Hashshashin.
Salah seorang tokoh muslim anarkis yang berpengaruh yaitu Peter Lamborn Wilson, yang selalu menggunakan nama pena Hakim Bey. Dia mengkombinasikan ajaran sufisme dan neo-pagan dengan anarkisme dan situasionisme. Dia juga merupakan seorang yang terkenal dengan konsepnya Temporary Autonomus Zones.
Yakoub Islam, seorang anarkis muslim, pada 25 Juni 2005 mempublikasikan Moslem Anarchist Charter (Piagam Muslim Anarkis), yang berbunyi :

Tiada tuhan selain Allah dan nabi Muhammad adalah utusannya;
Tujuan dari hidup ialah untuk membangun sebuah hubungan kasih yang damai dengan Yang Maha Esa melalui pemahaman untuk bertindak sesuai ajaran, wahyu, serta tanda-tandanya di dalam Penciptaannya juga hati manusia;
Demi tujuan seperti itu kita harus memiliki komitmen yang kuat untuk mempelajarinya dengan kehendak hati yang bebas, dan secara sadar menolak setiap bentuk kompromi dengan institusi kekuasaan, entah dalam bentukbnya yang yuridis, relijius, sosial, korporatik maupun politis;
Demi tujuan seperti itu kita harus aktif di dalam kegiatan merealisasikan keadilan yang bertujuan untuk membangun sebuah komunitas-komunitas dan masyarakat dimana pembangunan jiwa yang spiritual tidak terbatasi lagi oleh kemiskinan, tirani, dan ketidakpedulian.

Muslim Anarchist Charter menolak:
Kekuatan fasis yang bertujuan untuk memapankan kebenaran tunggal yang absolut, termasuk patriarki, kerajaan, dan kapitalisme.

Setelah baca tulisan diatas itu, jadi ingat komik “Daging Tumbuh” yang entah pada edisi berapa, pernah mengangkat cerita superhero yang berwujud seekor babi. Superhero ini adalah sosok pahlawan dengan segala perilaku kepahlawanannya, antara lain: membela yang lemah, menegakkan keadilan, dan membasmi kejahatan. Ditambah lagi dengan sikap religiusnya, superhero tersebut beragama islam. Karena merasa sudah islam, meskipun dia seekor babi, maka dia menyatakan dirinya tidak lagi najis karena biarpun dia adalah babi yang dalam islam adalah termasuk binatang haram dan najis, namun dia seekor babi muslim. Makin lama sikap superioritasnya makin menjadi, hingga dia merasa menjadi yang paling islam diantara yang islam, meskipun sekelilingnya tetap menganggap dia adalah seekor babi. Tentunya sekelilingnya juga menganggap bahwa dia adalah yang paling babi diantara babi. Sayangnya di komik ini tidak diceritakan klimaksnya, sebab hingga akhir cerita, sang babi muslim superhero ini tetap menjalankan tugasnya berjihad di jalan Allah, dan menganggap muslim yang berbeda dengan dia adalah bukan golongan muslim karena cuma dialah satu-satunya babi muslim di dunia. Baru sadar juga ternyata ada juga sekelompok manusia yang pengen jadi seperti itu

Semoga pengertian dan pemahaman tentang anarkisme yang mengakar dalam otak dan pola pikir masyakat berubah.

Hancock: Analogi Amerika, Kisah Superhero yang Payah

indigo — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 09:35:48 +0000

Sosok superhero seharusnya tampak ‘wah’ dan berwibawa. Tapi tidak dengan John Hancock (Will Smith). Ia memang seorang manusia dengan kekuatan super, hanya saja ia kurang percaya diri dan menderita semacam depresi yang menyebabkannya menjadi alkoholik. Demi mengubah image, Hancock lalu meminta pertolongan pada seorang konsultan, Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman). Seiring kepercayaan diri dan image yang pulih, ternyata ada hal lain yang mengikuti. Hancock ternyata menjalin kedekatan dengan orang yang salah, yakni istri sang konsultan.

Kisah Superhero yang Payah

Bejibun karakter superhero telah menjejali layar lebar, apalagi enam bulan ke belakang. Tak bisa disangkal kalau ‘manusia yang tidak biasa’ masih menjadi daya tarik tersendiri bagi sebagian orang. Superman, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Batman, and the other man, just named it! Kali ini pihak Columbia Pictures jeli dengan mengangkat genre serupa, dengan plot yang beda.

Vincent Ngo awalnya menulis naskah mengenai bocah berusia 12 tahun yang memiliki masalah dan seorang superhero yang ingin pensiun.

Hancock

Rilis: 2 Juli 2008 Sutradara: Peter Berg

Penulis: Vince Gilligan, Vincent Ngo

Pemain: Will Smith, Charlie Theron, Jason Bateman
