    So we are still saying virii?

  2. Re:Openness on Measuring Openness In Open Source Projects · · Score: 1

    AOSP is Android.
    You can build Android from source and install it on your phone provided you have working drivers, which you can usually port from the stock rom for your phone.
    The CM guys build their roms from AOSP and add extra features and support for more devices.
    AOSP is the heart of Android and patches eventually trickle down to the manufacturer's roms.

  4. Re:Not relevant because of grooveshark on Last.FM To Require Subscription For Mobiles and Home Devices · · Score: 2

    If you want to use Grooveshark from your Android device without paying for a Grooveshark Anywhere account just get TinyShark from the market. It looks like it just streams through HTTP and Grooveshark doesn't know you are listening on a mobile device.

  5. Re:Noisy WIFI on Tracking Down Wi-Fi Interference? · · Score: 1

    If you use linux and your card supports packet injection you can use airodump to capture packets and see who is transmitting the most data.

    Your card does not need to support packet injection in order to run airodump. You only need packet injection support to inject packets with aireplay while capturing them with airodump on the same interface.

    You can update to the RC of Flash and just don't open PDF files from untrusted sources (as usual).

    but you need an HTPC setup and to navigate to Hulu via a browser

    Actually I was pleased to find out about Hulu Desktop.

    It works with my Media Center remote and you can even integrate it with Windows Media Center.

    You still need an HTPC, but it is much better than having to use a keyboard and mouse to navigate the web page.

  8. Very Limited on A New Wi-Fi Exploit, Limited But Clever · · Score: 3, Informative
    The router must be running Linux with WMM enabled.
    From TFA:

    As with the previous attack, a lot of stars have to be in alignment. The biggest requirement is that TKIP has be the key type, not AES-CCMP. An attacker has to be proximate to sniff traffic and inject packets. The router has to be running Linux, like many Wi-Fi routers do. The router doesn't need to be compromised; there's a particular Wi-Fi packet sequence that's more predictable, and thus easier to use in the attack. Network QoS (802.11e/WMM) needs to be enabled as well.

    Here are some examples for you

    I know they are just anecdotes, but they are good examples of what can happen in a home invasion.

    That might also get console makers/developers to support a keyboard/mouse-style controller for consoles.
    To tell you the truth I would seriously consider buying a console (or three) if I could game with a keyboard/mouse-style (doesn't need to be a qwerty keyboard just a WASD-style) controller.

  16. Wipe the drive before you send it. on HP Dishonors Warranty If You Load Linux · · Score: 1

    I always wipe the hard drive before I send them back for warranty repair. I do keep an image so I can re-image it when it gets back.

    A few times they actually sent a new hard drive out in addition to whatever needed fixing. I always choose to have the old (replaced) parts sent back to me if it is an option.

    This has worked fine with HP, Sony, and Dell for me.

    The insert key is not gone, just placed in a very non-standard location.
    You can't tell from the pictures, but the insert key is a secondary function of the PrintScreen key on the second picture. It is also a secondary function of the = sign above the numpad in the 1st picture. The modifier is the F-Lock key.

    Hope this clears things up.

    A good portion of the Mendocino and Humbolt county population are burning a combination of High-Pressure Sodium and Metal-Halide High Intensity Discharge lamps indoors. Some even for 24 hours per day. It is not too uncommon to find a room with 6 1000W lights burning for 24 hours per day for a few weeks, then a switch to 12 hours on/12 hours off for about 8 weeks.

  23. Re:Technically??? on Air Force Jams Garage Doors · · Score: 5, Informative

    You can get a logic board for most newer Chamberlain openers that works on the 420MHz frequency. When I was working there, we had the ability to send one out for free at our discretion if a customer was having interference issues. I live near Davis Monthan AFB, and phantom door operation is a common thing if you live near the base when using the older 390MHz boards. (insurance claim anyone?)

    I don't have any problems with my 420MHz board, in fact I get a better range with my remotes on 420MHz. If you are having problems with an opener made by Chamberlain (LiftMaster, Craftsman, etc) give them a call at (800) 528-5880 and explain the problems you are having and mention that you live near an Air Force Base, and they will likely send out a replacement board free of cost.

    If you do have to pay, it is ~$60USD for a new logic board. They are very easy to replace.

  25. Re:So what? on New Mono 1.2 Now Supports WinForms · · Score: 1

    The guys over at BF2CC are using Mono to give Linux BF2 server admins the ability to use the BF2CCD with their server. I currently use BF2CCD with my Linux BF2 server and it works great.

    For those wondering, BF2CC is a robust command console for administering a BF2 (Battlefield 2) gameserver. It gives you a bunch of auto-admin functions such as auto-kick when score goes too far negative.

    Rather than make a linux version of their program, Mono has enabled the devs to keep developing on .NET, thus allowing Linux admins to use the software.
