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.

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

I'm using Emesene now on Lucid and so far, I'm happy with it.

Yes, you could scan 3000 viruses but what's the use?

Here's the link to the DD-WRT discussion on WR1043ND.

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.

Either due to the Slashdot effect, or actions taken by the CPC.

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.

It might be worse than that. 802.11a/b/g uses CSMA/CA as well as RTS/CTS, which would increase the overheads at the Media Access Control Layer as compared to the commonly known Ethernet.

When Client1 transmits to the AP, nobody can transmit. If Client2 requests to use the spectrum for transmission by issuing a RTS, it might corrupt Client1 transmission, and Client1 has to retransmit.

When the AP "relays" Client1 wireless frames to Client2, similar contention at the shared spectrum would happen. The actual available bandwidth is really much lower.

If you're using TCP (assuming!) the ACKs from Client2 back to Client1 will reduce the bandwidth even further.

Disclaimer: I might be wrong since I haven't been in touch with WiFi stuff for ages.

Good thing I'm using Internet Explorer!

Oh wait...

This has got to be the weakest defense example posted here.

Why censor your expression? Just let it out.

FUCK!

I found the hashes online but not from MSDN:

Since I have no access to MSDN, can someone please verify if the SHA1 hashes are indeed correct? If you have MSDN account, enter here.

Just for verifying that the ISO download with BitTorrent is the real deal, would somebody please share the MD5 hash of the ISO downloaded from MSDN, TechNet?
