  1. Re:Surprised? on George Lucas: "I'm Done With Star Wars" · · Score: 3, Insightful

  2. Re:Outdated before it launches on Major Delays, Revamped Beta For Credit-Card Consolidating Gadget Coin · · Score: 1

    Most shocking is that the bank its ATMs still require the magnetic strip even though the banks mandate EMV at all other places.

  3. Re:Where's the cheap board with gigabit ethernet? on New Single Board Computer Lets You Swap Out the CPU and Memory · · Score: 1

    You are getting your PIs (incl. SD and powersupply) very cheap, 70 EUR is what I paid for a TP router (TLWDR4900 (got it for being dual radio)).

  4. Re:Where's the cheap board with gigabit ethernet? on New Single Board Computer Lets You Swap Out the CPU and Memory · · Score: 2

    Get an OpenWRT supported router for this task (you don't need to actually use it as a router though)

  5. Re:Actually one of my beefs on Why Does Facebook Need To Read My Text Messages? · · Score: 1

    Search for LBE on xda, there is a partially/good enough translated version.

    Depending on use, you`ll save enough money to buy a new dryer every 10 years.

    I wonder what is in the non-free part of the repositorie!

  8. Re:inaccuracies on The Dismantling of POTS: Bold Move Or Grave Error? · · Score: 1

    g729 is horrible, if you think 729 is better (see MOS) than g711 you need to take a visit to a doctor to check your hearing.

  9. Re:Leave the call open on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Stop a Debt Collection Scam From Targeting You? · · Score: 1

    But just paying them would be cheaper then keeping a todler on call 24/7

  10. Re:Totally the fault of the USA on Criminals Use 3D-Printed Skimming Devices On Sydney ATMs · · Score: 1

    Create to cards your self, cut the chip from the issued card and place on an other card. This leaves you with a magstrip card for bnckward atms.

  13. Re:Because the firmware's copyright? on What You Need To Know About Phone Unlocking · · Score: 1

    The lock is in the radio part of the phone, a seperate processor and firmware, accessible through a radio interface (ril). GPL doesn't apply here.

    But still using wires I guess.

  15. Re:I always go along and pay on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Anti-Spam Service Extortion? · · Score: 1

    To avoid having to deal with blocked AS, you have to monitor and control you customers. I scan all my ip addrs daily in the populars dnsbls. If a user gets listed, block direct outgoing mail (automatically), tell them to use the (scanning) smarthost and offer services to fix the source.

  16. Re:NEVER trust and AC on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Anti-Spam Service Extortion? · · Score: 1

    My (receiving only) mail cluster is in the backscatter dnsbl. since I like to do sender verification (with result caching) . This hasn't affected my outbound machines/AS in all these years.

    SV is only to be used for scoring, there are enough legit retards out there without valid from or misconfigured BATV setups to cause false positves when you use it for immediate rejects before data.

  17. Re:Hell no! on Windows 8: Do I Really Need a Single OS? · · Score: 1

    All interfaces mentioned are incompatible at app. levels. But all interfaces have something in common: they all have the same CLI.

    You can open a xterm (which in itself isn't a KDE app) in KDE. telnet/ssh into the settop box/server. Open an adb shell to the android device (or install a termianl emulator (like connectbot)).

    This can be used to sync data between them all in some way.

    -phone: linux with android on top
    -desktop: linux with kde on top
    -laptop: linux with kde on top
    -tablet (hypothetical): linux with android on top
    -settop box: linux with enigma on top
    -server: linux

    In my case linux just works fine as OS, the actual interface to is is use case specific. Only use case for Windows in my case is games but haven't felt the need since getting a console and finding out Civilization actually runs fine with wine. YMMV.

    You should read/watch more news: demand for fuel is dropping.

  20. Re:Terrible keyboard layout on The ThinkPad Goes Ultrabook — ThinkPad X1 Carbon Tested · · Score: 1

    Otherwise you can remap fn to ctrl, atleast on a X201 fn isn't a dead key.

  21. Re:Linux kernel unable to cope? I think not. on Leap Second Bug Causes Crashes · · Score: 5, Informative

    Restarting ntp wasn't enough for me, I had to reset the date with:

    Only one machine went haywire though.

    So they claim they spend 20% of dev and support time on the android versions. Now why was the last update to battleheary more than half a year ago?

  25. Re:GPS? on 7-inch Google Tablet Coming From ASUS · · Score: 2

    "And am I mistaken, or would adding GPS add no more than perhaps $2 to the marginal cost of each tablet these days?"

    Don't know about the costs, but all gps enabled devices I have seem to have the GPS and 3G "glued together" on 1 chip. I guess it's to get AGPS to work. Adding a standalone GPS might be cheap, but it will take ages to get a fix.
