  1. Re:if they don't give me the option... on 'Samsung's One UI Is the Best Software It's Ever Put On a Smartphone' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Play store, bxActions. Problem solved. (and yes I hate it that the option to disable it natively disappeared with the Pie update).

  2. Re:Those features are great and all... on New Nintendo DSi Announced · · Score: 3, Informative

    but where the hell is my goddamn WPA support?

    According to this link http://bb.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/news/23361.html (in Japanese) The DSi supports WPA(TKIP/AES) and WPA2(TKIP/AES)

  3. Re:#2 for de Raadt? on OpenSSL Hit by Forgery Bug · · Score: 1

    The soon-to-be released OpenBSD 4.0 (November 1st) should ship with "OpenSSL 0.9.7j (+ patches)" http://www.openbsd.org/40.html.
    I hope they'll update it before launch.

  4. Re:Why duplication? on EU and US Agree on Galileo · · Score: 1

    Well, there are alreaday lots of communication satellites and network. But there are only two Postioning system satellite network ( US GPS and Russian GLONASS ) wich both are made "by the army, for the army" and not focussed in any way at the average people asking for geo-localisation ( in their car, on vacation, etc ... ), that, in my point of view makes Galileo worth the millions Euros it will cost. It's just not the same thing : more communication sats won't give you your positions when the USA will decide to shut down/cripple GPS.

  5. Re:Why duplication? on EU and US Agree on Galileo · · Score: 5, Informative

    No they can't "just put up other sats".
    - The sats have to be daily checked and correted by people on earth, like giving to each sat the positions of others sats ( this information is transmitted to the GPS receiver, to know how much sats it should be able to "see" ). This need a common agreement and cooperation.
    - Signals must not overlaps or corrupt other signals ( not as easy as it seems, the usable frequency window is quite narrow ).
    - the EU Gallileo will be free for personal use. You must pay a fixed fee ( payed when you pruchase the receiver ) to use the US GPS
    - USA can decide at ANY TIME to reduce the precision of the GPS signal delivered to cityzens in any zone ( by a ratio of 1 to 100 ) making it totally useless.
    - GPS sats become older and older, their lifespan is limited and a few should be replaced ( 27 are needed to give a good global coverage, some of the ones in the sky are not fully functionnal anymore ). It would be a good time to change a few ( some don't even got a good ol' cesium atomic clock ).
    - Galileo will provide more different levels of precision than GPS with different prices and secured and garanteed precisions for the most expensive ones.

  6. What it looks like on The Controversy of a Potential Hafnium Bomb · · Score: 1

  7. You call this a test ? on Four Linux Live CDs, The Executive Summary · · Score: 1

    This "article" is like : "we downloaded, we launched, we saw, we made 2 screenshots".
    And the comments are like "duh it looks nice".
    Interest : near to 0.

    Things would have been interesting :
    size of the iso, time to boot, tests of different hardware compatibility, memory footprint, ability to be customized, temporary storage and cache possibilities, kernel used, languages avalaibility, etc...

    This "article", is lacking a lot of things that would have made it worth reading.
