  1. DIY internet radio player on When Internet Radios Get Affordable · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You can always make your own

    It works great, only $75

  2. USB on Ubisoft's DRM Cracked — For Real This Time · · Score: 1

    Believe it or not after realizing they failed with their internet based DRM they will start to use USB dongles such as this: http://www.elicenser.net/en/

    They will say that an internet connection is no longer needed and that you can use the dongle to save your game progress.

    Due to the way this dongles work they can be cracked but it takes a huge effort and ammount of time for each different title, so they will have the first year piracy-free.

  3. Re:Why run IPV6? on What Happens When IPv4 Address Space Is Gone · · Score: 1

    Plus, there's enough address to give each subscriber many septillion. And they don't need to change. No more charging for a static IP...

    Fixed.

  4. Re:FLOSS alternative? on Review of Adobe Creative Suite 5 · · Score: 0

    Actually there's a good FLOSS alternative for InDesign: Scribus

  6. Easy enough on How Telescopes Deal With Earthquakes In Chile · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure they use this thing called "insurance".

  7. Re:I will be getting that firmware update on Should I Take Toyota's Software Update? · · Score: 1

    What I'd really like to have an electrical circuit connection between the brake pedal and the throttle fly-by-wire assembly. When the circuit is tripped, the throttle position output of the assembly drops to 0 regardless of actual pedal position or sensor position.

    You could wire the brake lights to a relay on the throttle servo.

  8. Actually on Hollywood Stock Exchange Set To Launch In April · · Score: 1

    Serious real markets also trade on abstract intangible stuff. Here are some examples

    Indexes
    Volatility
    Interest rates

    Payroll

    I always thought of a market to invest in film production, where your money went to actually finance a movie and entitle you to a share in revenue (if any). However, film making is a high profit low risk business and as such is reserved to a select number of people, and I'm not sure they need the mass investors for financing, they have enough money.

    However I'm not sure where this "movie stocks" and "celebrity bonds" would fit. Technically speaking they are not stocks nor bonds.

  9. A quick fix on Windows Patch Leaves Many XP Users With Blue Screens · · Score: 5, Informative

When complete, type this command: exit
