in Getting IP Location Information in Wireshark on danielmiessler.com | grep understanding
this is pretty sweet but most of my packet analysis doesn't need that info. I'll probably set up anyway. What's even better is that there is a new wireshark out.

in My Message to Those Claiming Obama’s Betrayed His Promises on danielmiessler.com | grep understanding
I think Obama deserves a huge chunk of the criticism he's gotten. He pushes the immediacy of certain legislation (stimulus package as the biggest f-up so far) and then turns around and says give it time and he's only been in office a very short time. That's a lot of BS.

He has betrayed his promises but then all politicians do. People are idiots for voting for someone believing all that crap and, unfortunately, a large percentage of his voters did just that.

in Ron Paul Thinks Evolution is Just a Theory on danielmiessler.com | grep understanding
I think the title of the post is misleading. Evolution is "just" a theory. It is, however, backed up with butt loads (that's a scientific term BTW) of evidence supporting it.

That doesn't change that Ron Paul is and has been a nut job, right up there with a certain consumer advocate who ran for prez a few times.

Daniel Miessler It's a theory the way scientists use the word, not the way Dr. Paul used it. It is, in other words, a theory. But it's most definitely not, "just a theory".

in Republicans: The Modern Dixiecrats? on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
yikes, clearly you don't get it. nice straw man though.

your ignorance stems from your comments on republicans and racism.

this will probably come as a shock to you but the republicans do not have a lock on stupidity, racism, corruption,... the democrats do just fine all by themselves. actually, since the democrats have control now, I bet there are more corrupt/stupid/racist democrats in office than republicans.

Wow, Dan. You rant on an ignorant statement with one of your own. Good job! When you boil it down, are you actually any different than this guy?

Daniel Miessler It's sad that I have to explain this to you, Dale, but hating racists is not morally equivalent to hating black people just because both involve not liking something. That's an extremely amateur argument.

So if Bin Laden hates freedom (and living Americans), and I hate Bin Laden, are we equal?

I'm sad about the over 50% of the voters who believed in change.

in Obama, You’re Disappointing Me a Bit on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
Not exactly a surprise here. His motto of "change" was BS but so many bought into the hype. He's an ambitious politician who lied his way to the top spot and now we'll all suffer his bad decisions. Of course there will be benefit from the good ones as well but so far his stimulus bill was poor as was signing the budget as-is.

in Jon Stewart Owns Jim Cramer on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
It was more of a sucker punch but Cramer should have known what he was getting into.

Stewart really should stick to comedy and stop trying to be serious because he gets pwned all the time when he's up against someone who can actually debate the topic at hand. Of course, Stewart's serious question that gets a serious response from the guest gets interrupted by Stewart with a joke and then he throws another serious question at the guest. It's just like the hearing in congress where they just want airtime or to belittle the person/group they brought in.

in Is the iPhone Coming to Verizon? on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
While I'm no fan of AT&T (the company), my service in the Bay Area works great. Everyone I know on Verizon has plenty of problems and complains about their shitty service.

in P90X Training System on dmiessler.com | grep understanding

At least I didn't hear the "muscle confusion" line here :-) Yeah, I saw the infomercial and it was pretty easy to find their pitch line. The infomercial is also filled with those natural athlete types who let themselves go so their transformations are going to be a lot quicker than the endo- and ectomorphs (that you'll find more likely in tech)


I checked into this recently but I don't have the time to spend an hour 6 days a week (has anyone tried it 3 or 4 times a week?). I also found a lot of comments that you should be in pretty good shape to begin with if you have any hope of keeping up with it (and therefore sticking with it). I found some other comments recommending the older P90 (maybe it was just called Beach Body) program and was going to keep my eye out on ebay or craigslist for someone getting rid of it.

in The Sad Irony of Who Voted For Prop 8 on dmiessler.com | grep understanding

I'm not surprised by it but it's still disappointing. What gets me is why is takes 50% + 1 vote to change our state's constitution.

Wow, Daniel... Do you see a Mouth Breather when you look in a mirror? The content of your words may be different but it's the same tone I hear from those religious right who share the same superiority complex you apparently have.


You really should be ashamed of this post.

in Obama’s Campaign Offers a View of How He Got Here on dmiessler.com | grep understanding

@shane - NPR did a piece on him last week (maybe the week before). It focused on his rise in Chicago. Basically, he got started by throwing his mentor under the bus by challenging her (and his other opponents) signatures on the nominating process. IIRC, this left him smooth sailing into the state senate. At every step of his career, he only aligns himself with those that he will benefit politically.


Obama scares me because you don't know what you will really get and I really don't understand why people take him at face value (he's a politician and a lawyer!). At least with Hillary, you know what you were going to get. Pretty much the same with McCain (although I have a little hope that he'll get back to the y2k McCain).
