    i always thougt all this "terrorists..." statements were ironical, i mean the only terrorist attacks on us territory happened more than 4 years ago. here in europe most people were a little nervous after these attacks but that didn't last more than one year.

  5. Re:Patching WINE? on WINE Still Vulnerable to WMF Exploit · · Score: 2, Informative
    So all you have to do is run the WINE autoupdater? :-)

    exactly. to run the "WINE autoupdater" open a console and type the following commands:

    export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@cvs.winehq.org/home/wine
    cvs login

    the password is "cvs"
    cvs -z 3 checkout wine
    cd wine
    ./configure
    make
    su

    enter root password
    killall -s KILL wineserver
    make uninstall
    make install
    exit
    cd..
    rm -rf wine

    wineconfig

    that's all! ;-) (the exploit is fixed in the cvs tree)
    of course you can make this even more "auto-ish" if you put the above commands into a textfile, call "chmod +x" on that file and click on it ;-)

  9. Re:A question for the physicists ... on ESA Moves Forward on New Electric Engine · · Score: 1
    from TFA:

    Argon gas was continuously pumped into the tube and the antenna transmitted helicoidal radio waves of 13 megahertz. This ionised the argon creating a plasma. A diverging magnetic field at the end of the tube then forced the plasma leaving the pipe to expand. This allowed two different plasmas to be formed, upstream within the tube and downstream, and so the double layer was created at their boundary. This accelerated further argon plasma from the tube into a supersonic beam, creating thrust.

    as far as i understand this, it means it uses Ar(g) && electricity, but i've found nothing that points out how much electricity is needed. probably photovoltaic solar panels deliver enough tension...

    u really think the great US of A can't protect a "star wars outpost" in a desert from kamikaze-cesnas?

  18. Re:Duh!!! on Radio Telescope Has Military Uses? · · Score: 1

    not necessarily. potential space targets could be, for example, tv || communication satelites.
    however, before the US are using this as a weapon i think they will protect it with some SAMs. (have a look at these pictures, it's really in the middle of nowhere, it wouldn't be a problem to identify attackers)
    i guess many potential "terrorist" countries have their own satelites, but i can't think of any that have stealth bombers...

  20. hair-dryer on DIY LCD Backlight Repair · · Score: 2, Interesting

    my old 15' lcd went very dark and dimmed more and more until it refused to light up at all. i thougt oh fsck! now i have to use my old crt display again! (it had some 'funny' colour-effects).
    but then i discovered something: when i turned up the heating, the lcd started to work again (it stood on a desk right over the radiator).
    because i didn't want to make a sauna of my room i used a hair dryer to warm the disply up (that used to take 5-10 minutes). i continued to use that display for over a year :-)
    since i didn't sell it on ebay, i'll try to fix it now...

    As long as M$ got contracts with PC-manufacturers to bundle their hardware with Wind0w$, most games will be released for even this crappy os. As long as most games are released for Windows, that's what the PC manufacturers want to bundle their products with, and as long as windows is bundled with almost every machine in the stores, almost everyone will stick to it.
