    It's dependent on the output of the solar cell. Instructables.com has quite a few of these how-to's, look for one that offers 12v. You could pick up one of these and some Velcro and be in business, however I imagine you would still need to rig some form of connector, and most likely a voltage regulator. plus you still wouldn't be able to plug the netbook right into it, as a solar panel does a trickle charge, rather than a steady wattage to the device. You would need to plug the battery into the device (which probably means having two batteries)

    You know had the Author of TFA used an unpatched exploit as an example there would have been all sorts of clamor about not giving Linden Labs time to patch it. The article itself was on the subject of this attack vector, not this specific vulnerability. Let's not turn Slashdot into a bashing competition, shall we?

    I think it still would have been rooted. There is a lot of people out there still looking for revenge from when Sony rooted their system.

  14. Re:What does this mean for cheats/aimbots? on PS3 Hacked via USB Dongle · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's the good old "any justification I can grasp at for piracy".

    For myself it's knowing that every game I pirate steals money right out from their greedy little hands. These huge companies like EA and Sony who screw their customers and their staff alike for their C*Os err, shareholders. That's why sometimes I pirate the same game three or four times! Thats like taking $200 right out of their pockets! i don't even plan on owning a PS3 but already I have amassed a pretty substantial library of "backups" (and even backup backups!). Take that fat-cats!

    If I recall he wasn't originally the only one responsible, but the Dept heads started systematically axing his peers (I believe 4 people over the course of ten months), which he fought every step of the way.

  19. Re:How does on Obama Wants Allies To Go After WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    A civilian cooperating with armed forces is a part of that armed force. There are risks to war, the most obvious being death. Would you call those that died helping the French resistance innocent civilians? Of course not, they lose their "innocent" status by participating. That sucks, but thats war.

    When Wikileaks provides information regarding active operations, they are effectively becoming participants in that war as well, so it's no surprise that they are being treated as combatants. It was a stupid move if you ask me; I thought the point of Wikileaks wasn't to actually stop unethical actions, but to spread information and let those that have the power to stop said actions do so. It is a small but critical difference that helped to defend their stance. This move effectively killed that defense, with no gain other than notoriety.

    I've noticed a lot of people playing armchair general while focusing on this afghan operations document and it repercussions, but the big picture is far graver. It's a sad truth that we need a source like Wikileaks not just for this war, but to blow the whistle on all of the multi-billion dollar constructs that use their power hurt or dismember our liberties our environment and our general welfare. There still are countless untold atrocities being committed every day by large coorporations, religious groups, governments and even charities that go unchecked. Wikileaks, was a safe haven for ordinary powerless people to help affect postive change against those atrocities.

    On a final lighter note, it's kind of funny that Assuage abused his power on a site devoted to exposing abuses of power.
