  1. Re:Browser appliance on Windows XP Flaw 'Extremely Serious' · · Score: 1

    While you're at it, get a firewall. I got the hit by the exploit myself, but by preventing it from connecting it to the internet, it sat stagnant on my C:\ drive. Simply download an alternative Task Manager (it disables the Windows one, so you can't Ctrl-Alt-Del), kill whatever process tried to do it, and then delete it. Wham, bam, thank you mam. One meltdown aborted. Mind you, your results may vary based on what's bundled with the WMF you end up downloading.

  2. Re:Tyrannosaurus Rex on Impressions From A Second Shipment 360 Owner · · Score: 1

    Actually, Peter Jackson designed his Tyrannosaurus to be scientifically incorrect. That's why it looks so "old school", because it's modelled after the old fashioned monster movie T-Rexes that everyone still has floating around in their minds. Give the new Kong that classic Kong feel.
    Though it seems he named them V-Rexes just so everyone wouldn't bug him about it.

    About that corrupted data on the Memory Stick...
    Unless the memory sticks themselves have been wiping themselves out (which I haven't heard anything about) you're probably thinking of the "Corrupted Data" entries that show up on the file launcher when you have the actual content Memory Stick inserted.
    It's not that the data is actually corrupt, it's that those files claim to be .pbps (PSP executables) but are actually .psps (the content usually held in a separate file within the .pbps) So it's not so much that memory stick itself is corrupted, but that file is not actually in the proper format to be a PBP. Of course that's the goal, so I wouldn't really call it a problem.
    Or of course you might be reffering to the tool corrupting the content stick's PBPs, but that's only a problem for people who don't hand roll their own. ;)
