Chase HQ was a great game on the ZX Spectrum. I got an original 48k release copy when it came out so that I could crack the loader for school and drop pokes in. After seeing your comment I thought I'd have a look in an emulator and see

I was a little sad when I took mine apart to find that the chip was epoxied. I was hoping it would be something easily reprogrammable that I could give to my girlfriend to use at school (she teaches 3,4,5 year olds, so having a box that mak

If you believe that being able to sometimes compromise some implementations of SSH under some circumstances means that you shouldn't use SSH for anything then maybe you shouldn't use the Internet at all.

Teletext was pretty big in the 90s before broadband took off. It was easily accessible to a lot of people, including older viewers. Television was the primary source of media for a lot of people (followed by radio and newspaper), and Telete

As someone who attempted (and failed) to move to Prenzlauer Berg earlier this year, I can honestly say that it was really rare to interact with native Berliners because they were pretty hard to find. When I stayed in Wedding there were plen

I've been working through the technical elements of the anonabox setup. I'll leave the moral outrage to others, personally I think $50 for anonymity with tor is great but impossible. Currently I'm (somewhat hilariously) tryin

It's not really a strawman. By default OpenWRT doesn't have a root password, and asks you to set one in order to be able to log into the interface or over SSH. A lot of devices running OpenWRT that are shipped these days (e.g. mai

Thanks for that. Understandably, the presence of an RFC1918 address doesn't necessarily mean a site isn't inaccessible, but for everyone else there's no way to tell without poking around Yahoo! which, lets face it, isn't

I really don't understand why they feel they need to develop their own full firmware rather than contribute to another project like OpenWRT or CeroWRT? Anyone involved care to tell us why?

This is similar to a project I worked on a while ago, Lahana[1] but on steroids. I like the approach, although it requires a little more knowhow to set up. What would be really cool (if not already in) would be to ask the user which service

Ok, so you have a lot of stuff based on similar SoCs and common platforms like MIPS (although ARM is in use it tends to be more low power on consumer routers, broadcom's MIPS certainly is the major player). However most of the routers
