  1. Re:To All Those Posting About System Requirements on "Live Expansion" Announced for Warhammer Online · · Score: 1

    May want to move this to the warhammer forums, but it depends on your video card. If you have lower than 512 it won't let you use the video ram as a buffer since the video card probably needs that ram to handle graphical processing.

    They used to let you, but it would cause other issues like low texture qualities and anomalies.

    Try out buffthrottle if you haven't already.

    But aye. A keep door buff/debuff list gets long as hell when 40 players are beating on it.

    I dunno about all the people saying too bad Warhammer didn't beat WOW or something similar, as if WOW is just gonna fall over dead after Warhammer was released. Our server (Vortex) is active as hell and we have a great community on the forums. I'll take a small group of good players over a massive influx of whiny brats any day of the week.

  6. Not to nitpick, but: on A Peek At DHS's Files On You · · Score: 1

    From the Fine Article:

    "An I.P. address is assigned to every computer on the Internet. Each time that computer sends an e-mailâ"or is used to make a purchase via a Web browserâ"it has to reveal its I.P. address, which tells its geographic location.

    two things.

    1.) Not every computer gets a public IP address. Most normal PCs just sit on a RFC1918 network, and usually the router gets the "public" IP. This can be one computer, or fifty.

    2.) IP may equal the geographic location of your network, or it can be the location of a proxy, which can be anywhere.

    This is the kind of thinking that leads to IP = smoking gun. And FWIW obtaining the IP of anyone is trivial if you really wanted to. This guy makes it sound like it's some secret "Where's Waldo's Network" game.

    Or you could post a question to Slashdot, in which your user name links to your site, and within that site is a link to the video.

    I think this is the video.

    I know (or believe, rather) this wasn't your intention, but I am working on the coveted "Commander of the Obvious" award for most obvious solution. :)

  10. Re:open works better on Twilight Hack Defeats Wii Menu Update 3.3 · · Score: 1

    You didn't mention what year your truck was, but if it's as old as it sounds it probably uses OBD2 for diagnostics.

    Here is a link to Wikipedia regarding OBD as well as a web page, obd2crazy.com for you. You'll be surprised at how simple it is.


    Of course with maybe a Nerdkit and some free time you could make such a display, and even give it cool emoticons to tell you when it's Co2 Sensor is worn etc.. :)

  11. I used to do this maually on Researchers Tout New Network Worm Weapon · · Score: 1

    I used to work as the admin for a small wireless ISP company seven years ago. The equipment they used was easily broken by an infected machine (I think sasser was the big one back then), as the radios packet per second limit was very low compared to other last mile solutions.

    To thwart attacks and keep the network working, I would have ntop running at the gateway looking for lots of SYN with no ACK, a usual sign of an infected machine. I would have to kick them off at the node and then politely call them and ask them to have the infection fixed... Once or twice I had to do it myself. :0

    This was a very small company. The original planners set up a whole network on extremely flat land, with an 80 foot tree line and plenty of trees. It was tough enough getting enough customers on each node to justify the costs..

    Good times.

  12. Re:Had a city named after a dictator on Paraguay Telco Hijacks DNS Before Elections · · Score: 1

    Until a couple years ago, the city now know as Ciudad de Este was called "Puerto Stroessner", after the former dictator.

    After being ousted that man lived in Brazil until his last days.

    That sucker was a friend with the militars in Brazil and other right-wing dictatorships in South America during the 60s 70s 80s. And those dictatorships had direct support from the USA.

    Funny how often bad things around the world had the US involved. And Kevin Bacon lives in the US! It's six degrees of Americanization!

  19. Printing... on USB To Go Wireless · · Score: 1

    I can tell you from my past experiences, I would *love* to have a wireless USB device for setting up printers. Not saying that wireless networking isn't fine for the more expensive printers, nor am I saying a good print server isn't a viable option. I just have had one too many times where the printer(s) I have setup could have benfited from a wireless USB dongle & some kind of Wireless USB to four port hub to ease installation options.

    I wonder which buttons are used for the click, hold and drag actions?

    So, the phone was inverted with the screen where your palm would rest. This makes the keypad available for buttons. Not surprisingly I used three buttons, Star, Zero and Hash (pound for US'ites).

    As far as proving it works, I guess anyone can fake the video, so a call to release the code is in order..
