KDS final returns, tune in and geek out with mongo and KD

Kid Dogg and mongo are back bring you there thoughts on the season of some of there shows. and find out why you should kill the cheerleader to save a show.

We better late then never as they say (but who is they !?). due to a few problems we’ve been a bit behind on podcasts so you luck people here’s the first of two podcast you’ll be geting this week. here as me and mongo talk about star wars books and new tvshows as well. this week’s music guest’s are Great Big Sea with Run Runaway and Kids Fly Free with Friday Nights.

“GENEVA — Scientists will have to wait until spring to use the world’s biggest particle collider for groundbreaking research because repairs to damage will run into the laboratory’s normal winter shutdown, the operators said Tuesday.” So reported Fox News today (9/23/08).

Apparently during start up of the Large Hadron Collider, two magnets need to properly operate the system melted. This damage appears to be result of an electrical failure. Scotty, where for art thou? This was the second failure near startup. Per the news article, the first (a faulty electrical transform) happened about 36 hours after startup and was quickly repaired. The current failure will require several weeks waiting time to warm the LHC from absolute zero before damage assessment can begin. It is estimated that total repair time will be at least two months. This ‘dead’ time will push the re-activation of the collider passed it’s normally scheduled winter break. Due to the massive power demands of the collider, it is typically shut down from Mid-November thru late March/early April due to increased European power demands.

When asked for comments, Dr. Gordon Freeman remarked. “I’m getting the frak out of here. If I don’t take my vacation now, I’ll never get it.” All other comments were quickly silenced by the facility security.

Kid Dogg and Mongo Bear are back and this time around there’s no script no plan.Interested!/ find out what happens when you let two geeks go at it. there’s talk about RFID chips and there use’s in the Gaming industry talk on weather Apple should make there own game system. so tune in and see what happens. music guest’s this week are Sister Machine Gun with two songs (if you don’t count the KDS theme song) Carbon Copy and Loser.

Fresh from their success at Nvision, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman – better known as the Mythbusters – have found themselves in the middle of a global conspiracy conducted by major credit-card corporations. At least, if Adam’s comments at a recent conference are true.

According to CNet, Savage was asked by an audience member at an un-named conference why the team – which host a show aimed at testing common myths in an often explosive manner – had never tested the well-publicised vulnerabilities of RFID chips, including the well-known (and well-cracked) MiFare Classic.

In a video of the conference, Savage details a call which took place between Tory Belleci – a member of the show’s B-team – and Texas Instruments as part of the research carried out ahead of a planned RFID-busting episode. Sadly, Belleci got more than he bargained for: as well as Texas Instruments, the call featured the chief legal councils for American Express, Visa, Discover, and “everyone else” which left the team feeling “way, way out-gunned.”

In a fit of foot-stomping reminiscent of the recent court-ordered ban on a talk regarding the vulnerabilities in the MiFare Classic-based CharlieCard transport payment system, the Discovery Channel – which owns the show – were told in no uncertain terms that “they were not going to air this episode talking about how hackable this stuff was, and Discovery backed way down, being a large corporation that depends on the revenue of the advertisers.” Savage continues with the explanation that the idea of an RFID-busting show is now “on Discovery’s radar and they won’t let us go near it.”

Bad news for a show which has, in the past, demonstrated shortcomings in PIR-based security systems, tumbler-based safes, and top-end biometric locking systems: especially when one considers that hiding the truth about RFID’s security issues isn’t going particularly well. As has been demonstrated so very many times in the past, security through obscurity is no security at all.

Texas Instruments, on the other hand, recalls the conversation very differently. In a statement, the company claims that the credit card companies were only involved “to help Mythbusters get the right information,” and that only “one contactless payment company’s legal counsel member” was involved. The company further asserts that “technical questions were asked and answered” and that it was waiting “for Mythbusters to let us know when they were planning on showing the segment” when they heard “that the storyline had changed and they were pursuing a different angle which did not require our help.

Here we go again as Kelly continues to kick both mine and mongo’s butts across the world of podcasting, this time around were talking about up coming movies that were looking forward to. Including the new fast and the furious movie, tron 2 and G.I Joe.
