  1. Re: Netgear *firmware* on Vulnerability Prompts Warning: Stop Using Netgear WiFi Routers (securityledger.com) · · Score: 1

    > If you run your firewall / router in a VM, that means there's a physical box hosting it which is physically plugged directly into the internet, unprotected by the firewall. I'm not saying it can't be done reasonably safely, but that's certainly not my preference.

    What are you taking about? I run this exact setup and my host isn't "unprotected by the firewall." The port belongs to pfSense as the WAN port and unless I open something up to my host within the firewall rules, no one is getting access to it.

    Are you sure you've been in the business for any length of time deploying openwrt?

  2. Still missing an option.. on Windows 8.1 RTM Trickling Out, With Start Menu and Boot-to-Desktop · · Score: 1

    How about an option to disable Metro completely? Opening the same jpeg in Paint versus Metro takes about 1/10th the time. Metro is not an improvement!

  3. netflix what? on Xbox Live Pricing To Go Up To $60 Per Year · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do with netflix.. According to the email I got they are adding:

    -With ESPN on Xbox LIVE, you can stream and watch over 3,500 live and on-demand sporting events plus highlights.*
    -With Hulu Plus on Xbox LIVE you will be able to enjoy a customized Hulu Plus experience that will include Kinect navigation and Xbox LIVE Parties*

    Both would be pretty good reasons to ditch my fios tv...

  4. Re:Why the Instant Dismissal? on Speed Racer's Visual FX Uncovered · · Score: 1

    The science of the Matrix was pretty laughable, I mean the machines are smart enough to build human farms, but too dumb to use satellites to capture solar power. A lot of stuff didn't add up. From wikipedia.org:

    The sky is covered in thick black clouds created by the humans in an attempt to cut off the machines' supply of solar power.

  6. WRONG! Have they never heard of ut2k4? on 64-Bit Gaming Oversold to Consumers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What about Unreal Tournament 2004? Not only did UT2k4 ship with Win32/64 binaries (and support), but it also shipped with linux32/64 and mac binaries (no support).

  7. Re:Tungsten E on Palm Finally Announces SD WiFi Card · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually check out https://www.enfora.com/shop/detail.aspx?ID=36, it uses the USB port instead of the SD. I am thinking about picking up one once it comes back in stock.. A little more expensive but it also comes with a little more.

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-79051 2,00.html (subscription required)

    I have no idea how reputable this source is as I dont live in the UK but this was all i could find (besides others that linked to this site). Actually I havent even read it because I dont feel like subscribing, but the title of the article is

    "Goodbye speed cameras, hello a spy in every car",

    and the quick summary provided says:

    "Government officials are drawing up plans to fit all cars in Britain with a microchip so that rule-breaking motorists can be prosecuted by computer"

    Also here is a PDF of the "Electronic Vehicle Identification" of which the article talks about

    Ahh, well that would explain why, i used the bf2.4 cd. thanks

  13. Re:Hopefully it will be more stable then 2.4x in s on Last 2.5.x Linux Kernel Released · · Score: 1

    Infact Debian still uses the 2.2 kernel by default because of the bugs sorrounding 2.4

    Actually I (not so) recently installed Debian Woody/stable from CD and it installed kernel 2.4.18 by default. You must still be stuck in the times when Potato was the "Stable" Debian.

  14. Re:NVidia vs. ATI on ATI's Radeon Linux drivers no longer supported? · · Score: 1

    Speaking as someone who just install Debian and the NVidia drivers, you're full of it.

    Just grab NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run and run it. Answer a few questions and either reboot or insmod nvidia, and launch X. Boom NVIDIA drivers

    It took me absoluetely no time in order to figure that out, and in fact I dont even see (not that I looked very hard) where you can download the GLX and kernel drivers anymore.

    All in all if you dont even know wtf your doing it takes 3 seconds to install.

    OT but actually looking through the preferences they have a topic you can block labeled "Caldera", which just happens to have the same icon as all the SCO stories, and im pretty sure that's the "SCO filter" you're looking for.

  20. libranet trolls on Libranet 2.8 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    Everyone who is trolling libranet has obviously never used it before *waits for more trolls on how it isnt free*... For those that want a preview on what they can expect can go to LinuxISO and download libranet's 2.0 essential version. I have tried it and it is absolutely fantastic--from the installation to the tools (adminmenu) everything worked great, better than any linux distro I have ever used.
    Libranet is also well known for having superior technical support and has a very friendly userbase that offers to help the newbies rather than tell them to RTFM.
    Try before you Troll, thanks
