  1. Re:So many ways to get it on UK High Court Rules Modchips Illegal · · Score: 1

    The easiest way to play copied games is using a slip card http://www.mod-chip.com/slidecard.htm. Now modchip is required.

    So people don't think I'm talking out of my ass here's a like to such a device: http://www.mod-chip.com/slidecard.htm

  3. What's funny... on UK High Court Rules Modchips Illegal · · Score: 1

    is that the easiest way to play pirated games on a PS2 doesn't require a modchip but is done by inserting a real game and then using a device to trick it into thinking it's playing that game while you switch in a new (pirated) one. I do beleive the device involved is purely mechanical.

  4. I wish... on SCO's claims Against Daimler-Chrysler Thrown Out · · Score: 4, Funny

    I wish this case was handled by someone like Judge Judy who would entertain all of us with her insulting tirade about how SCO has wasted everyone's time and money and how they should be ashamed of themselves.

  5. Re:Cheaper more flexible way to build electronics on From Your PC to Reality in 3 Easy Steps · · Score: 1

    I agree. Most sites will accept different file formats. I've worked with Cadence/Orcad going from capture to Layout to output files. It was a tough learning curve but now I can create board designs in minutes. Of course The software isn't cheap.

  6. 4pcb.com on From Your PC to Reality in 3 Easy Steps · · Score: 1

    I had to make several PCBs for a senior design project and I used 4pbc.com which was quick and cheap. They do special student rates and their regular prices are low too. Of course cost goes up exponentiall to the number of layers you want.

  7. Re:policy problems on IPv6 is Here · · Score: 1

    Just to restate. IP address are not portable. You can not be assigned a number that will follow you. "Device specific" IP addresses only make sense on small networks. In general IP addresses are tied to geographic location and/or ISP/company networks. If I have one IP in Boston and then I go to Tampa it would not "work" for my IP address to follow me. Thing of a branching tree. If you make a series of choices you get to the end of a branch without having to look at the end of every other branch. That's the way IP works...roughly.

    You are so utterly incorrect.

    1. Run FTP server on dorm room machine
    2. You now have a quick, easy, and stable way to store and transfer files.

    Worked for me and I was going between Solaris, BU Linux, and Windows. Also Run a VNC client and you now can search for and share anything on your dorm computer from anywhere (on or off campus).

  10. Re:QC and evesdropping on New Quantum Cryptography Speed Record · · Score: 1

    TCP/IP is not used over fiber. The TCP frames would be repackaged before going over the fiber line. I'd assume they use a specialized protocol for QC which send informationless "is anyone listening bits."

  11. Re:chips too expensive on Is Bluetooth Dead? · · Score: 1

    At least six months ago I read an article over at tomshardware.com that discussed the expense of the chips. They're pretty cheap. I don't see why a vendor would bother all the same though unless there was a demand. As far as the compatibility issue I think someone was saying their BT cell phone headset didn't work with their mac. If I remember the way the standard is implimented just because two devices are blue tooth enabled doesn't mean they'll be able to do anything useful. Each device has to have the correct chips for the correct purpose. Basically the standard is a standard for a series of different protocols.

  12. Re:Bluetooth is dead... on Is Bluetooth Dead? · · Score: 1

    As a EE I'm a little annoyed by this post. 802.11 is an IEEE STANDARD. It was developed as a STANDARD for different hardware and software manufacturers to follow. I can garentee that most of the people who worked on the standard didn't use Macs since they are useless for most engineering applications.
