Re:so how do I keep secure? by tcr · 2002-09-05 02:47 · Score: 2 · on Worldwide WarDrive Aftermath

Here you go.

I've been asking the same kind of thing on Usenet...

I gather that setting allowable MAC addresses adds a little bit of security, but sadly, the "authorised" wireless clients broadcast them as identification to the access point. So they're ultimately detectable and spoofable...

Dunno which Linksys you have, but some very helpful guys have responded to me with good suggestions for the Linksys BEFW11S4 v2 (1.42.7 firmware), which are :

Change the default admin password for your router

Change the default SSID from 'Linksys'

Don't broadcast the SSID (set "Allow "Broadcast" SSID to associate?" to No)

Change the default broadcast channel

Follow the link above, and set allowable MAC addresses to be your machines

If you use DHCP, limit the max number of DHCP leases to be the number of machines you have

Also, change the default DHCP starting address - 192.168.1.100/101/102 are guessable

Similarly, change the default IP address of your router

Enable WEP (this might decrease performance, tho')

As the chap (who kindly advised me) said, none of these measures guarantees security. Even all of them in combination... But you make it more likely that the potential intruder will get fed up and move on to a different target.

CodefreeDVD also do FBI disabled.... by murk1e · 2002-08-08 23:29 · Score: 4, Informative · on Consumer Friendly (or Disney Hostile) DVD Players?

I don't work for these people, not did I buy a DVD player from them (I gave my business to a local supplier).

They have been online for several years to my knowledge, and the site seems regularly updated.

They do their own mods, which instead of changing regions on the fly, allows you to select the region with a single keypress. This means that they tend to be slightly more pricey than a vanilla system.

They also do macrovision disabled (a technology which prohibits use in home projection systems) and they do FBI warning disabled (the point of the original question).

Codefreedvd is the site, using Google gets you exactly what you want, for example this 300 dvd sony (for UK power supply). They do ship around the world, you'll have to search for your own specs.

Re:curiosity? by altgrr · 2002-07-16 00:03 · Score: 2, Interesting · on Maglev Chip Finds Niche in Power Tools

There was a Maglev railway set up way back in 1984 to take passengers from Birmingham International station to the airport it served, and it worked, albeit briefly. However, it was closed in 1995 and a new, but far less exciting, railway link is being set up.

This site (cache of a BBC page) gives a few details on the old Maglev system that was in use - it doesn't look as impressive as the 350mph+ trains being trialled in Japan though.

What's even more amusing is that

(a) xenu have taken out 3 paid ad-word listings for scientology

(b) xenu's page is now more prominently listed than is scientology.org (especially now we've all been there and clicked on the links)

(c) the top link in the search results lists 2 google categories: scientology, and opposition to scientology

(d) The news story about censorship attempts appears on the second line of the search results, far more prominently than even the paid ads, or the top scientology.org link

Does anyone know who's paying for xenu's ad-word listings; I feel a bit bad about using up the page-displays they've paid for...

I think the Comp Sci web server is down so you should probably check the cache first cause you don't want to slashdot it.

Nope, it comes out with .com's as well (.com's that are uk-based, that is)

The option only appears in the non-dotcom versions of google (such as google.co.uk or google.fr) and appears as a radio button option under the search box to let you choose between searching everything, or just sites in the given country

So you just go to the uk site, click the "pages from the UK" radio button and type "bicycle shops"

word converters by mydigitalself · 2002-01-11 05:20 · Score: 1 · on RMS: Putting an End to Word Attachments

we write document comparison software that is used in the legal sector. we are busy investigating a tool by a company called Stellent. their tool, HTML Export, runs on just about any platform and can convert a few hundred document types to html.

there are a number of others out there as well that can do the same job.

maybe richard stallman should get off his high-horse of accusing users like my mother, who know no better, of being an inconvenient nusance. and integrate some conversion tool with procmail or something.

so an email comes through, you check the attachment mime type, you see its a .doc. you take the file, run it through the conversion utility and rewrite the mail body using an .HTML attachment.

there problem solved.
i'm sorry but there is no way that a minority of linux users can convert the majority of windows users to change the way they work.
