  2. Versipacks. on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Good Device Holster? · · Score: 1

    Grab yourself one of the Maxpedition Jumbo Versipacks, perfect every day carry gadget bag. Dress it up with morale patches too or just run down to your local headshop and buy up all the patches you can find affix velcro and you're in business :p Geek it up Tactical style! And yes in states that allow CCW, its a no brainer. This is the bag you want.

  5. What is an eBook? on Legitimate eBook Lending Community Closed After Copyright Complaints · · Score: 1

    I guess that settles it. I'll consign myself to buying up whatever dead tree editions I can; and completely forget about buying any eReader or eBooks if these "Authors Guild" idiots are going to be a rabid crowd of money mongers. Unionized writers and publishing houses, like these belong on a do not buy list. And so the world grows smaller once again. Thanks to Greed.

    This practice actually raises my hackles. Alarm bells and klaxxons go off. Really they have NO BUSINESS doing this dystopian crap. This is exactly the very sort of thing that makes people angry. I for one wouldn't pay those mofo's one bluidy red cent. My wifi my business not theirs. Its not a crime. And they can't make it one just because. SCREW YOU, you damn'd IOC & your lame limpicks. DIAF and all that!

  8. Re:People want cheaper tablets on Why the Tablet Market is Really the iPad Market · · Score: 1, Informative

    Pay no mind to Apple shills. iPad is just another greedy shit. Consumers want what consumers want. And for the most part we want to pick and choose the things we need for our little fiefdoms at reasonable price points. We do not want this so called vendor lockin crap. Nor do we want to be babied by control freak app stores.

  9. Re:10 years without cable on Is TV Over the 'Net Really Cheaper Than Cable? · · Score: 1

    XBMC + Fusion That oughta save you a wee bit more and give you far more options than you really need. You might also want to find a nice VPN service in the appropriate places. Then OTA if you need local news stations and lighter fare, and are in an area that gives you the capablity to recieve OTA transmissions. All of these things can be piped thru your pc to your big screen HDTV, you might even be able to build youself a sweet little HTPC setup with a few extra screens for IRC and other multi tasking things as well. :) Don't limit yourself.

    ...NOTE: Read a book... wonderful advice... absolutely... if you stick to dead trees... but its kinda moving the other way now. I'm allready in the unfortunate place where I have to decide if I want an eReader or grab a gee-whiz-tablet with some oompth. Then it'll be the content provider issue all over again.

    And this is one of the reasons I fear eBooks moving to eFormats Only. One day there will be no libraries.

  16. Re:Uh... on Ask Slashdot: How To Evacuate a Network · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You might just want to consider building your next IT center in a shipping container that can be detached and loaded on to a semi. Done properly your UPS and AC systems would keep them alive until you could get to an alternate location with power and network which you should already have contracted for in advance.

  19. Re:Authority/_nomap on FCC Wants To Fine Google $25K For WiFi Investigation · · Score: 2

    I believe in questioning authority up until a certain point, and that point is reached when I am the authority. I say fine them for every incident 25K is a big fat nothing if it stands alone up against a corporate infrastructure with billions in the bank. I also disagree with the "_nomap" angle we shouldn't have to be forced to append _nomap to our SSID's. Instead Google should make it opt in... those who wish to be mapped can append _MapMe to their SSID if they so choose, it would only be fair.

  24. Captive Portals Do That You Know? on Some Hotspot Operators Secretly Intercept, Insert Ads In Web Pages · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Thats right Captive Portal operators routinely inject advertisements either for their own operations or to suplement the donation button's found on the captive portal login at coffee shops, hotels and so on. Its a fairly common way to monetize what to a consumer might just be a temporary waystation to access the internet for free an hour or so. Often once some kind of payment has been tendered those 'ads' can be made to go away by the captive portal operator if they so choose. Sometimes CPO's even drop people into a walled garden featuring local businesses so you can freely web-shop the neighborhood once your free 2 hours is up. So you either pay or wait 24 hours when the captive portal resets. Usually a captive portal is a combination of server-router-software solutions and they don't exactly come cheaply irregardless what you might've been led to believe. Its an interesting side business if you have the time and witherwhal.
