  1. Matterform on Makerbot Desktop 3D Scanner Goes On Sale · · Score: 4, Interesting

    i'm going to wait for the scanner from Matterform. http://www.matterform.net/ Looks very promising at half the price.

  2. Re:Open access but outside the firewall possible? on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Leave My Router Open? · · Score: 1

    i have the DLink DIR-655 and it can do this. i have my local wireless and a "guest" wireless and neither can see each other. i also have QOS on the guest line to throttle down the speeds. guests (and neighbours) can use it, but it's not going to be a great "long-term" solution.

  3. He was lured out by money on Shedding Your Identity In the Digital Age · · Score: 1

    Evan did an exceptional job of "shedding the digital identity". He manipulated IP addresses (via TOR and RDP) and travelled via untrackable gift cards, etc. He was only caught (on the last day) by getting suckered in to a "bonus game" offered by wired (to attend a book reading). obviously, a stake out there would result in a hit. A very interesting read.

  4. Re:Ubuntu is not up to scratch on Shuttleworth Says Ubuntu Can't Just Be Windows · · Score: 1

    setting static IP has been broken in ubuntu for a couple of releases now, i don't see why nobody has fixed it yet. each time, i end up installing wicd to manage my network connections http://wicd.sourceforge.net/

  5. Re:Red? on Microsoft Begs Win 7 Testers To Clean Install · · Score: 5, Informative

    I know, don't feed the troll. however, it should be noted that 7 is really quite good. i've been a windows user, a mac user and i have tried every flavour of linux for 10 years and i stand by my opinion that Win7 is an excellent OS. Each has their strengths (and i have each installed on various machines for various jobs), but everyone shouldn't be assaulting every MS news item just because it's MS.

  6. Re:Heresy on $100 Linux Wall-Wart Now Available · · Score: 2, Informative

    I recently just dumped my linux server from my house. not from lack of love, but from lack of space. i replaced it with the DNS-323 from Linksys. it's a NAS box (2 drives) that is easily hacked to run linux. the tiny box now serves as my web server, ftp server, upnp video/music server, torrents, the whole enchilada. all in a box the size of 2 hard drives. i have the whole thing tucked in a back cupboard. much easier and quieter than a full system.

  7. Re:and the reverse... on Hidden Music Claimed In Da Vinci Painting · · Score: 1

    here's a link to the musical steganography example... http://www.kempa.com/blog/archives/000083.html

  8. and the reverse... on Hidden Music Claimed In Da Vinci Painting · · Score: 1

    The Aphex Twin (modern electronic musician) took a picture of himself, used audio software to convert the picture to a wav and slipped it into his last album. meaning, if you rip his album to a wav, and then run it through some filters you can get a picture of him.

  9. as usual, will wait for hack on HD DVD to Screw Early HDTV Adopters · · Score: 5, Insightful
    As an early adopter, i am among the screwed.

    I'm not too worried though, i will wait. Wait for the second generation of cheaper devices to flow from the secondary players in the DVD player markets (the "no-names"). these most assuredly will have the "secret back-door" keycodes to enable full HD over component.

  10. Re:The Littlest Pirate on Disney Encrypting Screener DVDs to Prevent Piracy · · Score: 1

    I believe it's Sony who are the secret backers of http://www.welcometothescene.com/. It's a downloadable (via bittorrent) show about a movie pirate who digs himself further into trouble.
