  1. Re:NSA's relationship to AV companies on NSA Infected 50,000 Computer Networks With Malicious Software · · Score: 1

    Given their scale of operation, I'm sure they are more than capable of evading AV detections. It's easier to research and develop ways to go under the radar than asking for help from AV companies.

  2. Re:Must be bullshit on Chinese Hack New York Times · · Score: 1

    They could launch their attacks from China, through Europe / Japan / Korea / South America / Africa / etc... and then to the US. Would blocking China IP addresses be useful?

  3. Toy quads! on Drone Made of Lego Takes Flight · · Score: 1

    If the Lego quad interests you, you might want to check out V929, V939, V949, or V959. These toy grade quadcopters are dirt cheap. You can get one online for less than 50 bucks and they fly really well.

  4. Re:It's only a speed bump on How Some Chinese Users Bypass The Great Firewall · · Score: 1

    Funny thing. If you are on the phone with someone and say "VPN", the call sometimes drops immediate. Works better in Chinese than English.

    Is this really true? Did you actually experience it? It sounds incredible.

  5. If you want a rooted tablet... on Kindle Fire and Nook Upgrades Kill Root Access · · Score: 1

    Get those that cheap "shanzai" tablets from China. They come with pretty good hardware and quite a few already have ICS firmware released. Best of all, you need not worry about not being able to root the tablet.

  6. Limited Android Market on Sub-$100 Android 4.0 Tablet Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Not only that the price is expensive after factoring in the shipping charges, this tablet is MIPS-based, so it will have a very limited Android Market. Take note!

    The tablet to get is actually Ainol Novo 7 Advanced, not the Novo 7 Basic stated in the article. The 7A has a much better hardware. It is widely believed that the Novo7A will get ICS real soon as there are videos of it running ICS circulating in the chinese forums.

  7. TP-Link WR1043ND on Ask Slashdot: Best Flash-Friendly Router To Replace Aging WRT54GS? · · Score: 1

    I have this cool router and I must say, it's really the best deal out there! I paid peanuts for this router. What I truly love about it is that it has a USB port. After installing OpenWRT and the required packages, I turned this router into a mini home server. The USB port allowed me to connect a flash storage device which acts as data storage as well as swap for the router.

    By the way, avoid trying DD-WRT on this router. It is unpolished.

  8. Check out Chinese Android Tablets on Ask Slashdot: Tablet With Root Access By Default? · · Score: 1

    Herotab C8 aka Dropad A8 aka Haipad M7; or Ainol Novo 7 Advanced. Not only are they rooted, these are very good tablets and priced really competitively.

    Have you tried Opera Mobile?

  10. Re:TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND on Ask Slashdot: DD-WRT Upgrade To 802.11n? · · Score: 1

    Which variant of "xWRT" are you referring to? I can only think of OpenWRT and DD-WRT that can be installed on this device.

  11. TL-WR1043ND is Great! on Ask Slashdot: DD-WRT Upgrade To 802.11n? · · Score: 1

    I couldn't agree more. This baby rocks! Other than Gigabit Ethernet, priced ridiculously low, it comes with a USB port that you can plug in additional storage for storing installed packages or hosting web content.

  12. Re:QQ on MySpace Loses Ten Million Users In One Month · · Score: 1

    The only larger network than those two is interestingly Chinese QQ, which has 636 million users.

    Well, considering that the population of China is just over 1.3 billion, I think that size of user base is to be expected

    Well, China had 420 million Internet users by June 2010. A substantial part of China is rural and does not have Internet access. It's amazing to "expect" half of the entire Chinese population have QQ accounts.

  13. No comment count?! on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 2

    This is madness! For some reason, the comment count for each story in the front page is missing! Am I alone? How do I fix this?

  16. New firmware 3.42 patches the USB exploit on Sony Has Lost the PS3 Hacking War · · Score: 5, Informative
    Unfortunately, you are spot on.

    http://exophase.com/ps3/ps3-firmware-3-42-hits-network-update-18063.htm:

    Update: We can confirm that all variants of the USB-hub emulating exploit (PSFreedom, PSGroove, PSJailbreak) are no longer functional in firmware 3.42.

  17. It has been PATCHED! on Sony Has Lost the PS3 Hacking War · · Score: 2, Informative
    Show's over.

    Apparently the latest firmware update fixes the USB exploit.

    Gaming site eXophase claims that, since Sony released firmware update 3.42 earlier today, it has been able to verify that "all variants of the USB-hub emulating exploit (PSFreedom, PSGroove, PSJailbreak) are no longer functional"

    Resistance is futile. Accept it.

  19. Re:tibiwangzi on Wired Youths In China & Japan Forget Character Forms · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Paper is not spelt in pinyin as "zi" but as "zhi".

    As a sidenote, I find it strange for pinyin representations to be without spaces. It makes reading difficult even for native users hard. The better way to spell it would be "ti bi wang zi". And for those who care,

    ti: pick
    bi: pen
    wang: forget
    zi: word

    TP-Link WR1043ND can be installed with OpenWRT or DD-WRT (beta right now, I think). This wifi router supports 802.11n and gigabit LAN. You might wanna check it out.

  25. Router vs Wireless Router on Has 2.4 GHz Reached Maximum Capacity? · · Score: 1

    I hope I'm not being picky here... Routers are not Wireless Routers. I have a couple of Cisco routers and none of them give me WiFi access.
