  1. Ubiquiti on Ask Slashdot: Can You Install a Wifi Mesh Network in a Barn? (slashdot.org) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Check out Ubiquiti networks. They have great mesh networks that are small and unobtrusive, and with a controller each new adopted device with automatically gain the settings from the controller. Makes adding new Hotspots a breeze when you find a dead zone.

  2. Re:They could cool down even more on Watch Fish Swim By Petabytes of Data At Microsoft's Underwater Data Center (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure they could add a remote power cut off relay to this to power cycle them...

  3. Re:Brings new meaning to... on Watch Fish Swim By Petabytes of Data At Microsoft's Underwater Data Center (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    If you look at this from purely an energy perspective the less energy used, the less energy there is to be added to the equation. If they put this same data center on land, they would need energy to run a cooling system, likely to include air conditioning. Since some of that energy is lost as heat all the way from production to real work, this system of placing it underwater will be devoid of those losses. In the end with less energy use, less heat is produced. So I think that is win.

  4. Re:Your master password is still vulnerable on LastPass Makes Password Management Free Across All Of Your PCs, Tablets and Smartphones (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Lastpass Premium integrates with the Yubikey.

  5. This is also not true with default settings from LastPass, by default last pass won't let you login from an unknown device or unknown location, it will send an e-mail to a account you specify and require you to click the link to allow access from the remote location. Also you can secure access like I do with a physical token (Yubikey).

    You had it backwards. It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees

  9. Re:More Changes on Verizon Changing Users Router Passwords · · Score: 1

    plain and simple, get over it and change your damn password to something secure. If you really want to get all hurt about this read the ENTIRE user agreement that YOU agreed to when signing up for service and see if they violated it, I bet they didn't...

  10. Re:Ummm...try changing the password! on Verizon Changing Users Router Passwords · · Score: 1

    Here is what they need router access for... for the 10 million people who have no idea what a router is or how to port map, or how to make their web cam work.... What is worse, 1 in 100 people who know this stuff complaining or 99 idiots clogging your tech support lines?

  11. Re:Do some research? on Verizon Changing Users Router Passwords · · Score: 1

    tested this myself, actually it is an http port. It uses .htpassword to ask for a username and password and it says "actiontecBHR"

  12. Umm change your password on Verizon Changing Users Router Passwords · · Score: 1

    Yes I agree instead Verizon should simply let any and everyone's routers get hacked, then their customer service should be responsible for fixing all those peoples routers right? GIVE ME A BREAK they fixed a security problem with your router, it just so happens that the security problem was YOU! Get over it, and if you don't want them to have access change your password...

  15. But how long will they last? on Is Your Printer Ripping You Off? · · Score: 1

    3rd party inks don't last as long. This is a very scientific test and shows that if you want your prints to last for your children to enjoy and their children to enjoy the actual ink used by the manufactures EXCELLS in all these areas, and you are actually paying for something when you pay all that money! -=Matt=-

  16. Re:transport losses? on Solar Cell Achieves 40% Efficiency · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes you will keep fissioning at low levels, but it uses way less fuel. Core life is measured based the hours at full power, if you operate at a really low level of power you extend core life drasticaly. There are also many ways to maintain a plant in a stable, shut down condition to where it can be restarted quickly, the Navy has been doing this for many many years. The significant start-up times come when you have to cool the plant down drasticly for maintenance.
