  1. Re:Watch out for 3rd party firmwares for these on Linux Hackers Reclaim the WRT54G · · Score: 1

    Follow the directions carefully, and make sure you have the baseline firmware around as well as the emergancy de-bricking procedures open so you can re-flash your router in the off chance that the new one doesn't take the first time.

    Other then that, you shouldn't have any problems whatsoever. 23-SP1 is a wonderful upgrade over 23, let alone the regular Linksys stuff.

    Death by a thousand papercuts.

    Isn't there already a butload of sites like this already? Digg etc?

    However the rest of the series contradicts them.

    Your political views......Do they belong to you because of you, or because your pappy told you to think like that?

  7. Re:quarantine? on NASA Overjoyed at Catch From Stardust · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They washed their hands with a wetnap leftover from lunch at KFC?

    Really, do you think that someone whos entire livework to this point has culmanated with the landing and retrival of this material is going to let the sample be contaminated? (Or contaminate the Earth)

    I expect comments like this on Digg, not here.

  8. Re:$212 Million??? on NASA Overjoyed at Catch From Stardust · · Score: 3, Informative

    FTA: Dr. Brownlee said the $212 million cost of the 10-year Stardust project was a bargain considering the amount of knowledge it should provide about the origins of the solar system and Earth. "The way I like to look at it," he said with a laugh, "it's the same cost as a well-paid baseball player over a 10-year period."

  9. Re:"Would you like some facts with that?" on Analysts Predict Dell to Use AMD · · Score: 2, Funny

    Your boatload of undeniable facts have convinced me Mr. Bush. Your sources seem to be most legitimate.

  11. Rip-off your neighbour on Xbox Modders Charged Under DMCA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    From TFA:

    During the investigation, undercover agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement paid $265 to have a modification chip, a hard drive and 77 pirated games installed on an Xbox, according to the criminal complaint.

    Like I said on digg this morning when this was posted there, no wonder they were charged, and quite rightly too.

    This is not a "Your rights online" story, it's a story about blatent copyright violation.

    Looks like they'll have to face what the Internet has developed into.

  14. Re:Caffeine/health risks on Caffeine Prevents Liver Disease · · Score: 1

    My post was more in jest at the way that these things go, and to point out that people might want to take everything in moderation, instead of the typical way that the diet fads go.

    But thanks for the interesting commentary none the less ;)

  15. O Rly? on Caffeine Prevents Liver Disease · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How many people in the study were killed off by high blood pressure before they had the chance to develop cancer?

    I'm using their freeware version, but I might check out your suggestion.

    I'm running Sveasoft, but I have to say it was easy as hell to do. I also tested doing a revert, and had no problems whatsoever.

    If Billy is playing Barbie as Princess Bride, I think his parents might be a bit more concerned then if he's looking at pr0n, at least in America.

  23. Re:Contradiction on Supreme Court Lets Utilization Rights Stand · · Score: 1

    From TFA:

    Krause left the programs, which were designed to manage client information, on Titleserv's servers when he quit working for the company. He placed locks on the code and stipulated that Titleserv could run--but not alter--the programs, prompting a lawsuit from the company, which claimed it needed to make code tweaks in order to fix bugs and to perform other "routine" functions. Company employees ultimately picked the locks and made the changes they said they needed.

    Sounds like it to me.

  25. Re:If they drop the GPL... on Nessus Closes Source · · Score: 1

    That is of course assuming that any of the code is owned by someone outside of the company. Since, according to their press release, they have had almost no help from the community, there is no copyright holder outside of their company.

    So they, the copyright holder, can do whatever they like with their code.
