Let’s give the man a hand

Easily available body parts which don’t cost an arm and a leg.

Fake ? I think so. Though cleverly done.

  • Checkout doesn’t work.
  • From there you go to c1d1t1.com, where you can see a vlog with a dead body.
  • They link to BennyAgra “for any animal you want in 30 days”. Later on, they have photo’s with a monkey online.
  • All domains linked above are created in august or september 2005.Make up your mind yourselve. Hoax or not, the internet keeps amazing me…

    *grin* Had lots of fun reading Jeff’s $$$$GETRICHNOWEVERYBODYDANCE$$$$ blog about getting rich fast on the internet.

    Faking to be naive, he discusses the various get-rich-quick scheme’s, showing the huge checks he gets (lots of zero’s, in fact, all zero’s). Wonder if it’s a clever marketingcampaign or just somebody fed up with all the get-rich-quick scams.

    Stumbled upon it by pressing “next blog” on blogspot, will see if this one will pick up like the MillionDollarHomepage. Wish them luck :)

    NewNova.org - SuprNova v2

    Saturday, October 8th, 2005

    Interesting, just found out that yesterday NewNova.org has been opened. NewNova is built upon the old script from SuprNova, the old mega-BitTorrent public info site.

    Looks like The Pirate Bay might be getting serious competition again!

    I like it, as HBO currently is attacking BitTorent downloads.

    Cogent vs. Level 3

    Thursday, October 6th, 2005

    Seems that right now, Cogent and Level 3 are no longer peering with each other.
    Lots of (single-homed) people got disconnected. Cogent is known for its cheap, very cheap bandwidth. Not that high quality, but, well, cheap.

    As somebody said on slashdot :

    Cogent fancies itself a Tier 1 provider […], and L3 IS a Tier 1 provider.
    [..] Whichever company blinks first .. loses. If L3 blinks, they re-peer with Cogent, which gives Cogent more political power when it comes to other Tier 1s. If Cogent blinks first, they either send their packets via other Tier 1 providers to get to L3 or buy transit from L3. If Cogent blinks .. other Tier 1 providers are going to look at it and say ‘hey, we could be making money too’ and multiple instances of today will replay themselves out across the net.

    Cogent’s sells bandwidth for cheap … too cheap to actually make any money at it, and now the house of cards is folding.

    Wonder if this is the start of bandwidth prices increasing. I do remember the prices from 4 years ago, just after the Internet bubble bursted. On one moment we had to pay 900 EUR/Mbps… Compare that to today. Will certainly keep an eye on this!

    AIBO’s Mind 3

    Monday, October 3rd, 2005

    w00t w00t, Sony has anounced Mind 3 for the AIBO. It seems this one has blog-capabilities, so I’ll no longer be (one of) the only one who has an AIBO with a roblog

    Lots of new (software) features on a new 128 MB Mind 2 stick! Seems the upgrade will cost around EUR 100, so Brenda, prepare thyself for an upgrade!
