See for example here. Some third party report in german citing Dieter Klinglnberg, who was the person mentioned in the BBC article, btw president of a industry association called VDMA.
Also fragte Klingelnberg seine Mitarbeiter: "Würdet Ihr Samstag und Sonntag kommen - gegen entsprechende ÃoeberstundenzuschlÃge selbstverstÃndlich - und die Maschine fertig bauen?" -- So Klingelnberg asked his employees: "Would you come in on Saturday and Sunday to finish the machine - paying overtime premium of course?
Nicht ganz: Der Betriebsrat zerrte Klingelnberg per Anzeige vor Gericht: Er hÃtte die Mitarbeiter ohne Genehmigung des Betriebsrates am Wochenende nicht arbeiten lassen dürfen. -- Not quite: Workers Council dragged Klingelnberg to court: He would have needed consent from the Workers Consil to let his employees work on the weekend.
I had another source supporting this, but can't find it again.
And it is still bullshit reporting by BBC. I'm german and i checked some german sources including a description (in german) by the person sued himself.
He DID know, that his employees worked on saturday and sunday as he ASKED them. So this was bullshit number one.
Bullshit number 2 is that he was sued by "the authorities". He was sued by the companies "Betriebsrat" (workers council, protecting the rights of the employees), because the employer has to negotiate such extra work with them. This is basically a good think, as it prevents companies from exploiting their employees, but gone bad in this case. The Betriebsrat was probably nuts, dunno.
But still very poor and angled reporting by BBC. Shame on them.
You are misleaded. He reported, that he was given tampered with sources. The dates were removed, the filenames weren't given, it were out of context parts of some function. So no function names to remember, and who can remember some not very specific interesting variable name?
I don't believe in conspiracies. But i believe that the government would give out tampered files, if there would be something real to hilde in it.
So although i don't think that a UFO landed on Area 51, i still am not sure, if i should trust documentes released by a government. We are lied to everyday, by politics and government. So although no aliens landed on Rockwell, maybe some other interesting stuff happened there. Who knows.
DIY electronics seems to be dying and i can't really understand why. I recently made some research for a own project and i came to the conclusion that it nowadays it is easier to design some decent hardware than ever before.
No more fiddling with a bunch of TTL/CMOS logic chips. You can get a programmable CPLD with 800 logic gates for 99 us cents (e.g. from xilinx). Free design software (also said to be running under linux with wine) is available too. 800 gates is enough for some really nice projects. In circuit programmable.
Or try a cheap controller. For example AVR RISC. They are fast, they are powerful, they can be programmed with a gcc-variant. Just take the chips a oscillator and go. Programmable with a cheap parport interface. Oh, and the best is the price: Starting at US$2.
Soldering it on a experimental board? Maybe, but what about designing a pcb? Take EAGLE as layout software (freeware version for non commercial use up to 1/2 eurocard, enough for some decent design). Get the pcb fabricated for example in hungary (US$21 for a whole eurocard, all inclusive).
So i hope we will see a return of home development. It is getting even cheaper and more powerful. I just read an announcement for a new FPGA with 1 million (!) gates which target price is under US$20. This is enough to even construct your own CPU. Wouldn't that be fun and educative?
So see the possibilities and go out and design something. And probably make the design available under some open license. The time has never been better before.
Any more info about monte-mips, maybe the URL to download the source? google doesn't give any result. I'm looking for something like monte-mips because it could be useful in hacking some netgear access point which happens to be a mips machine running openrg/linux (www.jungo.com).
The Linux Kernel supports importing Block Devices over the Network, so it would be really nice to have a harddisk, which can speak NBD over Network. More info about NBD on http://nbd.sf.net/. So if someone is going to develop a Ethernet Harddisk, please consider using NBD as your protocol.
As you should have noticed, the output from whois.pir.org isn't really helpful, because currently it is just a hacked reference to other whois-servers. So you won't see real useful data.
Try gwhois (apt-get install gwhois). Not only will gwhois query whois.pir.org as well after that the appropiate (referenced) whois server and give you real usable results, gwhois also strives to know about most other TLDs, and will query automatically the right whois-servers and can even query web forms for those broken TLDs, who do not provide a usable whois-server. Also it knows most IP blocks and the appropiate whois-server.
Another example of a mis-scored clueless comment on slashdot. 2002:: (aka 6to4) is not an replacement for 3ffe::, for two simple reasons: 6to4 needs an underlying IPv4 address, and of course this address can't be dynamic to host servers etc (because the 6to4-Address would change every time you get a new IPv4-Address). And no reverse lookup for 2002::...
So get a clue. 3ffe:: is replaced by production blocks assigned in the 2001:: range. Just as you got a block in 3ffe:: you can get a block in 2001:: from a provider/tunnel broker/whatever. And most of 2001:: is still transported by the means of tunnels - what is what 6bone is/was. So some kind of 6bone is still needed, though it isn't called by this name anymore.
What a nonsense. My 7650 talks to every PC device i've come across to. For myself i use a el-cheepo ETiX USB-Bluetooth-Adapter without any pain, another example is the built-in bluetooth from a think pad, which worked like a charm too. And connections to Siemens S55 and Nokia 6310 were without problems too. So the only valid point (and this is a real problem) is the missing support for headsets/audio devices.
But in total i like my 7650. It works nice and stable. No problems so far (with the second one, the first one was kind of DOA, but this can happen, doesn't mean anything).
Ok, but then the slashdot article was some sensation laden journalism. It specificially said that the flaw is in "the SSL protocol itself [...] not [...] how we implement it". So this leads to the impression, that SSL is flawed by principle and could not be fixed without altering the protocol.
Obviously this is wrong. The OpenSSL developers were able to fix the problem WITHOUT breaking compability to other SSL implementations. So how can this be a problem with the protocol itself, if it can be fixed without actually altering the protocol?
Regarding to what the heise newsticker wrote, this fix IS actually in the implementation and was fixed in OpenSSL 0.9.6i and 0.9.7a. So who is right?
Heise says: "OpenSSL developers already reacted and issued versions 0.9.7a and 0.9.6i of openssl, which close this security flaw. In a posting on bugtraq they recommend this update for all users." (translation done by me).
I have read the bugtraq announces as well, they specifically state that the update DOES fix this bug. So it is NOT a bug in the SSL protocol itself, but in the implementation, at least regarding to OpenSSL developers.

You are confused..cx was never free to people other than residents. The opposite is true, it was (and afair still is) free to residents. Foreigners had to pay since the beginning.
You are studying german for 5 years and you cannot write 'Ich hasse diese englischen Dummkoepfe!!' correctly? Ich glaube nicht, daß Du wirklich gut Deutsch kannst.
Really nice quiz. It took me some 22 minutes (including some wrong starts) to finally solve it. I found hardest to "see" the first combination of two hints which led to new information. From that on, it was easier.
...but this is and was always the case with any other hole. I would prefer a nice fix - even with the danger that the bad guys can find out the hole faster - over a big ugly workarround which adds features who do not work cleanly, wo aren't tested heavily, who haven't been analyzed by third partied, who need to add a user to my system etc. etc.
In most cases the sole reason for forbidding cell phones is just the gread of the hospital management. They want you to use their overpriced phone service.
Medical devices are tested under such rigid standards that low power radio waves are not much of a risk. I was at a emergency recently and they used cordless phones and other radio devices.
I don't know who modded the parent up, but the poster failed even to read the URL he mentioned. Under Point 2.9 is a good explanation of what is populary called the Memory Effect, and yes it exist! No Myth.
The reverse polarity problem is complete different from the memory effect problem, but both exist.
I might be completely wrong or misunderstanding the GPL, but...
If you read the GPL you will notice that it says that you have to ACCOMPANY the source or the offer of the source TO THE DISTRIBUTED BINARY.
Which means that you have to offer the source only to the people who you have given the binary to. So currently i think only the members of the beta program are in a position to demand the source.
Although it is true that the 2400-2450 MHz part of the ISM band overlaps with the 13cm ham radio band, it is not really a good idea to operate high power wavelan devices in this frequency spectrum.
The problem here is that this part of the 13cm band is used by ham radio satellites. This can seriously make problems to the hams using the satellites.
One ham shouldn't do harm to another ham. If you are a ham radio operator interested in wireless LAN please don't forget that other hams have other interests, and there are users of the satellites.
It would be interesting to see if there is a way to modify a wireless lan card to operate on an even lower frequency (below 2400 MHz), so it could be placed into another part of the 13 cm ham radio band.
I don't want a future with devices like the Orgasmotron. This would remove the last reasons to fall in love and have real life relationships. Might be the end of the human race.
> The pringles can is nothing more than a basic

Next time, please actually take a look at the building plans first.
The pringles antenna does not consist alone of the driven element. They are using 5 washers which can probably be seen as director elements. After all its still a weird design, but i think its more of a yagi than of a feed beam.
