Comment Star Trek 3: Romulan Drift (Score 2) 332

Woo hoo! Now the Enterprise will have rivets in the warp core and hull, a 47 speed transmission and 5 stages of NOS. We will have a scene where Scotty's screen says "danger to warp core" as rivets shoot out killing random red shirts. Kirk will engage the NOS, driving them to warp 12 as they drag race a bird of prey. Sulu: "I live my life a quarter sector at a time." Vin Diesel can be a Klingon and Paul Walker will be a Ferengi that crashes his transport ship and dies in a fire (too soon?). I'm waiting for the new Star Trek movie where Riker wakes up and we find out the Abrams films were all just a bad dream.

The Nova and Blockbuster apps were pushed out with the Android 2.2 upgrade around August 3, 2010. How is this showing up on /. today? On a side note, I've heard rumor the Evo will be seeing Android 2.3 (gingerbread) in the next few weeks. There is also talk about giving the user the ability to install/uninstall Sprint's crapware through their own android app store.

PS3 Hacked? 296

Several readers have sent word that George Hotz (a.k.a. geohot), the hacker best known for unlocking Apple's iPhone, says he has now hacked the PlayStation 3. From his blog post: "I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I've also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip. 3 years, 2 months, 11 days...that's a pretty secure system. ... As far as the exploit goes, I'm not revealing it yet. The theory isn't really patchable, but they can make implementations much harder. Also, for obvious reasons I can't post dumps. I'm hoping to find the decryption keys and post them, but they may be embedded in hardware. Hopefully keys are setup like the iPhone's KBAG."

FreeNAS Switching From FreeBSD To Debian Linux 206

dnaumov writes "FreeNAS, a popular, free NAS solution, is moving away from using FreeBSD as its underlying core OS and switching to Debian Linux. Version 0.8 of FreeNAS as well as all further releases are going to be based on Linux, while the FreeBSD-based 0.7 branch of FreeNAS is going into maintenance-only mode, according to main developer Volker Theile. A discussion about the switch, including comments from the developers, can be found on the FreeNAS SourceForge discussion forum. Some users applaud the change, which promises improved hardware compatibility, while others voice concerns regarding the future of their existing setups and lack of ZFS support in Linux."
