I think it's ironic that after everyone got pissed off at Sveasoft and flocked to DD-WRT, DD-WRT started pulling shenanigans with source code availability as well.
I only run and recommend Tomato (and variants) now, unless you are wanting to set up a non-WDS wireless bridge or repeater.
What does "signal below" mean? My understanding (which may have eroded over time) was that a digital sample of an analog signal can only accurately encode signal frequencies up to half of the sampling rate. Thus, if you can hear frequencies above 22050Hz then you should be able to hear the difference between a 44.1kHz sampling and, say, a 48kHz sampling of a source sound with frequencies above 22.05kHz.
WTF, this is old news! There's even a link to the month-old story in the "related stories" box below the summary. Why is Slashdot posting a freakout story that makes it sound like it just came out of nowhere all of a sudden?
Lots of people are knocking TFA's suggestion due to over-the-shoulder vulnerability, but with the proliferation of malware I'd be more worried about malicious software screen scraping an unmasked password.
I ended up not getting into the show because by the time I heard about it (yeah, I don't watch much TV) Fox wasn't hosting the first few episodes on their web site any more. It's not worth trying to jump into the middle of a strong story arc driven show like that (which was the problem with Babylon 5 as well, which I didn't get around to watching until around 4-5 years ago).
Story arc series like this are doomed (despite often being much deeper) because they can never hope to gain significant ratings after leaving behind people who didn't start watching from the beginning.
My favorite part is when someone tries to defend him and gets yelled at too:

Stop reopening the bug. And this is also no discussion forum. Go somewhere else.

I concur, Ulrich. This bug has been discussed to death and only the trolls are reopening it. If anyone wishes to "me too" this bug, please open a new bug. Thanks.

What's with this fad of making everything controllable by a Wiimote? It's losing it's charm. Maybe I should stop reading Hack a Day: http://hackaday.com/category/wii-hacks/:p
Great, now people are going to post even more incomprehensibly because they'll have mangled their spelling to make the text-to-speech engine pronounce it better.
If it's supposed to be some tealeaf legging it out of security the wrong way with someone's laptop I don't believe it - if that happened every 2.5 hours you'd notice it.
They said only 30% of laptops were recovered, so...
Honestly I wonder if Intel isn't looking at the expense of pushing per-core speed further and comparing it against the cost of just adding more cores. The unfortunately reality is that the many-core approach really doesn't fit the desktop use case very well. Sure, you could devote an entire core to each process, but the typical desktop user is only interested in the performance of the one progress in the foreground that's being interacted with.
It's also worth mentioning that some individual applications just aren't parallelizable to the extent that more than a couple of cores could be exercised for any significant portion of the application's run time.

I want to know that same thing, but for the cluster of ntpd servers running on my LAN.
I guess that explains RAGE then.

TomatoUSB is a bit stale now too, but someone named Toastman is continuing to improve his own fork of it: http://tomatousb.org/forum/t-379538/new-toastman-builds
I like that it comes with some good out-of-the-box QoS settings, although they're perhaps a bit harsh for a small home LAN.
Sulu, right?
Not sure, let's check Wikipedia.
Oh, right.
Huh? That facebook/chillze picture clearly shows the characters from FF2j.

Screenshots or it didn't happen!

Where are mod points when you need them!
My favorite part is when someone tries to defend him and gets yelled at too:
It would be delightfully ironic if Microsoft's use of these patents to troll Tom Tom results in those same patents being invalidated.
A better Ask Slashdot question would have been: "how can I forge bounce messages so that they think my email address is invalid?"

The Inquirer (I know, they hate nVidia with a passion) is speculating that the GT275 may be a relabeled GT260, except for reviewer cards which may be relabeled GT280's: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/599/1051599/nvidia-hoodwinks-reviewers-mythical-gt275s
I guess this is common for ATI/AMD and nVidia to do, but it's the first I've heard of it and it seems awful slimy.
We should see if we can get the Russians to take US scientists along on a ship next year to investigate.
Much more funny than fake news posts.
Looks like a bunch of fluff. Not even anything about raw performance or memory footprint or standards compliance.

<3 xkcd though.

Where the hell are the 40,000 unrecovered laptops a year going? Is there really that much of a market for used (stolen) laptops?
