  2. Re:is this NOT an OLD version on Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 DoS Exploit · · Score: -1, Redundant

    The current stable Version is 1.0.7, 1.5 is Beta - Release 2. So this bug is one stable Version old - and I installed Firefox on quite a few peoples computer and I am sure they won't update it. I am ooking forward to Version 1.5 which does update itself automatically.

  3. Re:List of which kits are susceptable on Injecting Audio Into Insecure Bluetooth Handsets · · Score: 1

    I've seen a demo of these guys "hacking" bluetooth cellular phones at the Linuxtag. Somebody asked which cellular phones are safe. The answer was "Siemens" (unfotunately they don't produce cellular phones any more). Nokia should also be ok. Sony Ericson are the worst in security (if I remember correctly)

  4. No adequate thing as earplugs for video on More Rumblings on Apple Video iPod · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't like these tiny videoplayers - there is no adequate thing for video like an earplug for audio. The only thing where it comes handy if you can connect a TV or a Display to it.

  10. DLink on Router Built for Gamers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I am sceptical about D-Link products - Even though a relatives WLAN Access Point works pretty well, I have made quite bad expiriences with them. Even their USB 2.0 HUB didn't work as promised with my G5 (anyone same experience?) - it only worked in USB 1.0 Mode (although USB 2.0 devices were attached).... So sounds kind of vaporvare to me... But thats just my humble opinion...

  11. Re:Gotta love April 1st on Say 'Cheese' to Google Satellite at 10AM · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ubuntu has a nice april fool on their distribution. Instead of the normal login screen http://www.ubuntulinux.org/login.jpeg they set up a picture with 3 guys (plus one shoe of a guy taking the photo) thats like the loginscreen but with 3 geeks having a party (snacks in the background))

    So if you run Ubuntu update today!

    You know what Ghandi said... First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. And then you win.

  14. Tim Taylor on The Quest for More Processing Power · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    To quote Tim.... "We need more power! har har har" (For those who dont get it - its from a crappy TV Show called "Home Improvement" where Tim has his own TV show "Tool Time" where he messes up the complete show because he ignores the warnings of his clever co-moderator Al - and uses "MORE POWER!"

    It look just like a huge themepark to me - whats the most unpleasant thing is in my opinion the sky. What about nice temperatures and warm sand if you look up in the sky and see..... a grey dome-wall. Great.

    This was done in a theatre where a friend of mine works. It really didnt work because the audience didnt concentrate on smelling. Also you dont get rid of the smell inside the theatre that quickly....
