An anonymous reader writes: Researchers at Princeton announced at Hot Chips this week their 25-core Piton Processor (http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S47/19/67G69/?section=topstories). The processor was designed specifically to increase data center efficiency with novel architecture features enabling over 8,000 of these processors to be connected together to build a system with over 200,000 cores. Fabricated on IBM’s 32nm process and with over 460 Million transistors, Piton is one of the largest and most complex academic processors every built. The Princeton team has opened their design up and released all of the chip source code, tests, and infrastructure as open source in the OpenPiton (http://www.openpiton.org) project enabling others to build scalable manycore processors with potentially thousands of cores.

Feed Engadget: iUnlock released: the first free, open source iPhone SIM unlock software (engadget.com)

digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/iUnlock_released_the_first_free_open_source_iPhone_SIM_unlock_software';It looks like the battle's officially over between iPhoneSIMfree and the numerous unique groups of open source hackers trying to software SIM unlock the iPhone. As we've been following in our previous post on the topic, earlier this afternoon iUnlock, the first free, open source iPhone SIM unlock app, was released to the underground just 74 days after the iPhone's release. Developed by the iPhone Dev Team, it's not for the faint of heart and it takes a little longer than iPhoneSIMfree's method, but it works. Developing...

Quick and dirty guide to getting iUnlock running

First, you'll need iUnlock + nor + the .fls file, which is available in ZIPs all over. We've got the app here, but it doesn't have all the files necessary. Good list of links here, or try here, here, here, here, and here. This is still developing, but apparently you:

Make sure you have firmware v1.0.2
Drop those three files on your iPhone (and possibly chmod 555 iUnlock)
Stop the comm center (launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist)
Run ./iUnlock ICE03.14.08_G.fls nor
Watch your iPhone get unlocked?? (About 20 minutes, supposedly)
Minicom into the tty.baseband
minicom -s
setup modem as /dev/tty.baseband
type:
AT S7=45 S0=0 L1 V1 X4 &c1 E1 Q0
AT+CLCK="PN",0,"00000000"
AT+CLCK="PN",2
(If you cant write in the minicom, start commcenter again and stop it again)
Run /bin/launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
AGAIN: we CANNOT confirm this is the correct method to use iUnlock! Just what we've gleaned from the internets, do not consider this a guide.

Zero guarantees, people! Big ups to the iphone.unlock crew, Draken (who let us know our instructions should be workable at this point), and, of course, the iPhone Dev Team. Just don't whine to us if your iPhone gets bricked. Let us know in comments if it works for you!

Vista to Allow "One Significant" Hardware Upgrade 641

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday October 30, 2006 @04:24PM from the how-very-generous-of-you dept.

fiorenza writes "Ars Technica spoke with Microsoft concerning the controversial changes in Windows Vista's licensing, and they have learned that Vista will permit one 'significant' hardware change before requiring users to either appeal to Microsoft support or purchase another license. Automatic re-activation online will fail after one use. Microsoft is using a new algorithm to monitor hardware changes and enforce licensing compliance, and the company says that it is more forgiving now than it was with Windows XP."

"You wiped a computer because of spyware?"

Isn't the standard procedure for fixing a compromised box (windows or *nix) reinstalling and restoring from backups?

And you think safe mode will save you? Assuming the box was compromised as root (or Administrator), ANYTHING on the box could have been modified...how are you going to use safe mode to replace a spyware-modified kernel (for example: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/02/18/192 0244&tid=201&tid=218)
