You have to manually upgrade the firmware and going back to plan old 1.20 is exactly the same process.
Which raises the question, if you didn't know it was going to do this (because lets face it, who would honestly expect this to have happened before now?), and instead of hijacking google.com, it hijacks the D-Link page where you could download the previous version that you just overwritten, with a link to "pay us money and you can download a fixed version 1.21", what then?
Can someone confirm WPA support already? I know it's not possible with older games[...]
Citation needed please. I keeping seeing this posted again and again, that even if WPA support were to be added to the system, the games could not utilize it, but the only thing I've been able to find to suggest why WPA is not on the DS has to do with battery life.
If you knew how I felt about biodiversity then you would not say what you did
I can only know about you what you say on here, and it certainly sounded to me like you felt biodiversity was unimportant.
There is a difference between watching a thousand species out of tens of millions go extinct and watching 1 out of 2 go extinct.
When those "thousands of species" all share some common ground (they're all amphibians/pollinators/insectivores/etc) and are a sizable chunk of the total # of different species that share that common ground, no, there is no difference.
Now don't get me wrong, regardless of what we do, the planet can and most likely will bounce back. The planet has had catastrophic extinctions in the past, and it has recovered. The question though, is will we bounce back with it?
Since you seem to lack the critical thinking skills necessary to comprehend what I am saying, allow me to elaborate.
Say we have this food, lets call it Soylent. It's a miracle food, provides people with all the necessary nutrients to live healthy, productive lives. It becomes such a staple part of our lives that we cannot live without it. What do you think would happen if something like the banana problem occurred in Soylent? And don't say we'd just go back to the way it used to be before Soylent, because in this fictional universe, everyone felt exactly like you about biodiversity, so we didn't bother keeping anything else around. We destroyed everything in order to grow more Soylent.
Our candidates are Coke and Pepsi, both cola and I'm not into cola.
So instead of going out and voting for Sprite or 7-Up since they "can't win", you're not even going to bother to vote? It's people like you who are the reason we keep having cola year after year after year.
(Don't get me wrong though, just because it pisses me off that doesn't mean I won't support your right to not vote.)
More people looking for hidden data makes it possible to hide more data. I find that counter-intuitive.
Not more people, different people. IE, say you've got a channel with two sets of hidden data intermingled with each other. One algorithm will decode the one set, while a second algorithm decodes the second.
If my uncle was a Bell Telephone customer and refused to pay his Bell Telephone bill, then yes, Bell Telephone would be under no obligation to make sure a paying customer of theirs can contact my uncle.
But what if my uncle was a Comcast customer, and he always pays his Comcast bills? What then would Bell Telephones obligations be?

The check itself may not be easy to fake, but when all you need is the information on the check and you can initiate an ACH? Yeah, it's broken.
I'd link to an example of this kind of thing occurring, but my google-fu is lacking. It was Fred Gallagher of Megatokyo that it happened to though, in one of his rants.
If you look at their one endeavor to actually capitalize on the eager people ready to work for Nintendo, NST, they're a damn near failure.
Now I'm not saying they are or are not a failure (I loved Metroid Prime, but 2 felt kinda drawn out, and 3 hasn't sucked me in like 1 and 2 so I've not bothered to make time to play it) but what about Retro Studios? Or were they once called NST?
They make games based around the input, and out comes Zelda Twilight Princess
Zelda:TP was developed (and released, I own the disc) for GameCube. It wasn't until some time in the middle of development that it was decided they would port it to Wii as well.
Oh wow, I always figured prices between regions would be equivalent in their differences. That is, each 360 version would be an equivalent amount above/below the Wii in one region as they are in another. I don't know what the mid-priced version is over here, but I know that only the "three-shitty" is priced below the Wii presently. Thank you for clearing that up for me.
It's only 50 nanometers thick? How does that compare to regular paper? I'm trying to figure out how much more or less likely papercuts would be with this stuff, and 50 nanometers sounds pretty thin.
I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with that currency symbol, but given that you mention the Wii as being 250, and in USD it is also 250, I'm going to guess that whatever currency that is, it is equivalent in value to the USD.
Now with that in mind, I'm going to also guess that the 360 Pro, a designation I am again unfamiliar with, is referring to the same unit that GP was referring to, the 360 in it's simplest form, as that is the model that is 200 in the US.
But we've already addressed the fact that one model of the 360 is cheaper than the Wii, so... what exactly was your point again? Or were you just re-iterating what was already said?
Oh... and no reason to go after the person who creates the virus. Only the person who uses it against others.
No reason to go after the guy who makes pipe bombs either. Just the guy who uses them.
No reason to go after the guy who makes the full-auto conversion kits. Just the guy who applies them to the off-the-shelf weapon.
No reason to go after the guy who makes the fake passports. Just the guy who uses one.
I know you're being sarcastic, but.. I agree.
Go after the people who are using and distributing those viruses, not the person who wrote the thing (they can, of course, be the same person/people, but go after them for the act, not the potential to commit the act). Unless it was their intent to release it upon the world and wreck havoc.
Same goes for pipe bombs, full-auto conversion kits, and fake passports. Unless they are providing such services with intent to cause malice, I say, let them.
Now it could probably be argued that such services could never be provided without such intent, but that's not what I'm here to discuss. At any rate, the information to do such things shouldn't be fought, it's a losing battle. It's not like cracking someone's password, where outside of brute strength (lets presume perfect encryption for the sake of argument) there's no possible method of obtaining that password. These are things based upon the specific way that our world is wired, and if one person was able to determine how to do it, others can too.
Fight the cause of the disease, not the symptoms they produce.
You might not, but what about those of us out in the country, or far to the north in the wilderness, or up in the mountains, or who are ranchers, or.. I hope you get my drift.

Feeling good about ones heritage is not racist.
Feeling like you are better than others because of your heritage, while not always racist, is always some kind of -ist.

Where is everyone getting this information from??
If nothing else, I'm sure it'd pass as veal.

At least that's how it sounded to me.
Movie selection is somewhat limited.
I don't understand, Mac users have a smaller selection of Watch Instantly movies than Windows users do?
Why? Feel free to justify your opinion with evidence.
One word: Bananas

Just because Company X can't be sure that Congress Critter Y didn't vote for Proposal Z, doesn't mean they won't still try and bribe them.
I don't know what cat piss tastes like, but I certainly know what it smells like, and taste is something like 90% smell.
I don't know about most places, but in California (where Apple is based), the courts have already ruled that non-compete clauses are invalid.

Out of curiosity, which two questions came from /.?
Hmm, I was apparently logged off at home and didn't realize it.
I'm still curious to know the exact impact, if you could kindly provide a direction for finding some good tools to perform exact tests.

Anyone know if AT&T will charge you to receive that message?
