Bluetooth should be turned off out of the box. If an end-user is smart enough to know they want Bluetooth, they probably won't get hit with this attack.
What are 51st and 52nd considering there are currently only 50 states in the union. I realize what you said was a joke, but please use the correct number (51).
Very true. I have had a hard time explaining the benefits of Bluetooth because of two reasons:
1) The people behind the marketting have done a terrible job selling this spec. Everyone and their mother knows of 802.11(b or g) or as "Wi-Fi" 2) Quite frankly due to the price, the use of Bluetooth is limited. I can setup a Wi-Fi print server, connect to other PCs through Wi-Fi or RJ-45 or IEEE 1394. Pretty much other than wireless keyboards or connecting to my cell phone bluetooth just isn't worth it.
Too bad, considering that it is a real great specification:(.
With all the new wireless technologies coming out, (wireless USB, wireless IEEE 1394, etc.) will this be enough to save the failing bluetooth. I use a Microsoft BlueTooth keyboard and mouse and while it is the best keyboard and mouse combo I've ever used, the lack of market saturation cost me $160.
Although it lacked unwinnable protection, I still view this game as the godfather of adventure games. Yes, King's Quest may have been more graphically advanced, but based on the sheer number of permutations of events, Maniac Mansion is the top.
I can remember in 95 or 96 when adventure games were at their peak liking the new FPS more, but now that FPS are at the top, I find myself yearning for adventure games again:(.
Btw, where can one find a copy of Leisure Suit Larry:Enhanced;)?
Obviously no computer can be perfect, since computers were built by man. Man is imperfect, therefore his creations are as such. Books like this help to point that out to people who believe that simply not using Windows will mean that nothing will ever fail.
And based on the title and summary, I wouldn't think this to be an obsolete book. It's obviously aimed at solving lower-end errors rather than massively large ones. And I think that a basic level of computer maintenance is never a bad thing!
When the whole Pepsi cap thing was going on, Sasser, Gaobot, and some remnants of blaster were going through the poorly developed network in my dorm.
Needless to say, the amount of virus traffic broadcast brought the backbone connection to its knees and the few times that I was able to go iTunes it would only be for a short period of time and if a download was cut off, well, too bad. iTMS let me see that I purchased the music, but won't let me re-download them!
But what's keeping some ordinary person from collecting 5000 smoke detectors, extracting the (weakly) radioactive material, doing some rudimentary enriching and coming up with a "dirty bomb"?
Hey, I just went to Salvation Army on my lunch break and picked up a High School chemistry book. Thanks for the idea!
I agree. DiscLive is a much superior system and geared more towards the fans as new way of selling memorabilia. I ordered a Pixies @ Vancouver CD (I didn't attend said show) and even though it cost a lot ($28 including shipping), took a while to get to me (2 weeks) it was worth it to have a live document from a great band at a smaller club.
CC just wants to make this something you can get with a special code off the cap of specially marked Pepsi products, or by text messaging through Verizon wireless, or by watching American Idol's results show, or...

The market for Linux are insignifigant compared to the market for Windows games. If you were a game developer would you rather put all your work into a perfect and release it for Linux, so that two people can buy it. Or would you release it to Windows were you can make a VASTLY larger amount of money, and then release it to Linux to pick any money still available?
The day video games stop being about money, and about the "art", is the day every FPS gets rid of the obiligatory rocket launcher and "experimental" weapon that works perfectly, kills all the monsters in the level, and puts on a nice light show in the process.
Everytime an expansion pack has been released for Quake or Quake 2, a new patch has to be released to add the new functionality.
BTW, when is Quake 3 Team Arena coming out?
The ways to tell if someone has ADD are too vague. The characteristics are too vague. Let me get this straight "If an eight year old can't concentrate on his or her own schoolwork, they have ADD?" pfft. I think parents should be responsible for making sure there children can concentrate, not the pharmacist.
What are the religious implications?

Similar to the movie 'Dogma', where those two fallen angels couldn't undo what happened to them, because it would cause the whole universe to collapse.
What happens when we bring back a creature that was supposed to be dead? Does that undo everything?
Slashdot Mirror
These cards are expensive enough, now they are suggesting we buy 2!?
I guess if you have a lot of money and want to play with a (marginal) advantage, an SLI setup is for you.
As for myself, I am a poor college student not even able to afford 1 of these cards. A situation I think is similar to a lot of other geeks/gamers.
Which begs the question, who is this aimed at?
I think you mean Dave Matthews Band, Phish just called it quits recently :p.
Oh my God, I can't believe I know that!
While I think that the current x86 BIOS methods are outdated, I do not support a leap to total OS integration, yet.
I think that if a community effort were mounted through a system of standards, a satisfactory next-gen BIOS could be acheived.
Of course, this raises the question of who comprises the community, businesses or enthusiasts?
A way to play visual stunning games awkwardly AND kill my battery quickly!
Are you refering to the Tesla coil?
True, no solution works for 100%. But I would imagine this would help out 80% of the users of the phone.
Preventive measures are invaluable in technology.
Taking psychotropic drugs and posting on /. that is a great idea!
Hmmm...seems like my sarcasm plugin for IE isn't working properly.

This my main problem with iTunes.

That is because petroleum and other fossil fuels are the apex of energy sources. We will never do any better, than this cheap and clean source.

I have always wondered why nuclear batteries have not been used in more electronics. They last practically forever!
