  1. Re:GNAA on Robot Receptionist with an Attitude · · Score: 1

    You must be new here.

  2. Re:certainly, not for sale in Japan on 5 km Range Commercial Wi-Fi Available · · Score: 1

    timecops pretty right about this, they also operate on different channels than amercian ones. (only channel 13)

    I had to buy a Japanese Wi-Fi card when I went to Japan this summer, the reception was pretty bad aswell. I got about 50% signal strength for the access point being on the other side of the house. Oh yeah also Wi-Fi does not support Japanese Broadband well either. I could only get 1.2m/s on OCN's 56mbit dsl network.

    Next time I'll bring my amercian access point.

    Wow it's the only intelligent post in this whole news post; mod parent up.

  4. Re:What about wireless device drivers? on What to Expect from Linux 2.6.12 · · Score: 1

    Some wireless drivers such as Atheros requires a binary only module for the hardware access layer. I don't think DRM binary modules would make it into the kernel.

  5. Latest Fedora-development has gcc 4.0 on GCC 4.0 Preview · · Score: 2, Informative

    $ gcc --version

    I've noticed it compiles a bit faster and the binaries are a bit bigger aswell.

    Google has 2 options on this matter Meet China's demands or be blocked entirely.

    Oddly enough Slashdot Japan renders correctly. http://slashdot.jp/

  8. Re:This only made me think to myself... on Paypal Grinds To A Halt · · Score: 1

    I've been using https://www.yowcow.com/ for awile, they're pretty decent, they also charge less then paypal per transaction. The only setback is that is if you want your money really fast they charge you insane wire transfer rates.

  9. Re:Hmmmm on Firefox Browser On An Upward Trend · · Score: 1

    On my site, Firefox and friends went from 12.5% in July to 14.3% in August, awile IE went down 2% from 84.63% to 82.98% The rest is made up of misc. things like wget.

  10. Re:But which versions on Survival Time for Unpatched Systems Cut by Half · · Score: 1

    At work we have a ton of Windows95/98 machines that are not patched, and we havn't had any problems with them. Is there even any Windows 3.1 exploits? But also at the same time we have almost 500 Windows XP machines but for reasons with Timbuktu ( http://www.netopia.com/ ) We can't put on the firewall. Needless to say, the boss brought in his laptop from home and it infected half the network. Was a major headache.

  11. Re:SP2 incompatible on Microsoft Lists SP2 Incompatibilities · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Simple. All DVD players by law have to include Macrovision to prevent someone recording to VHS or another DVD, awile PCs don't output Macrovision. M$ is probably saving their ass from DMCA.
