SOLDIERX.COM Nobody Can Stop Information Insemination

Just can't wait for new OS...M$ going away...they are bragging about better error descriptions than M$... Won't happen if they're like

For the most part, Distro specific applications of Nvidia don't really exist.

For example, go to the Nvidia Driver Download Page (GeForce, nForce, Quadro, Tesla, Legacy, etc.) and select your Product Type. After you have selam and/or Language (although these are usually selected for you..). After ensuring all information is correct, you can click the "Search" button.

At this point, you should see a collection of data pertaining to your Linux Display Driver. Versions, Release Dates, Operating System, etc. If everything seems to look right; click the 'download' button. Then, agree to the 'terms and conditions' (you can't use Nvidia without them).

A common event when talking with a member of SX.

Him: "I now have a flat screen for my MAME cabinet that can play all games at their native resolution."
Me: "Nice, so pretty much it can play all games except for one."
Him: (Sounding a bit peturbed) "What, what won't run in it's native resolution on it?."
Me: "Your Mom!"
Him: (Laughs) "That sounds like something I would say."

I have been on the crew for a few months now and it seems that i too have gone the way of most others on the crew, I am to busy to do much. So I sit here at work considering what direction Soldier X should go.

As far as I can tell we are about IT security and full disclosure of exploits and security vulnerabilities. Since the introduction of the MRI we have deviated from that in a sense that most of our active users are focusing on the next release, rather than the process involved in reversing it and the concepts required to know what to fix to make it work for us.

I would like to see more learning, not necessarily in the area of reverse engineering and programming, not even learning how to code your own tools to hack. There is not enough learning of the basics of the infrastructure of the internet and it's protocols, the WAY exploits are exploited with tools that are already available, the process of exploiting the vulnerabilities in the human psyche.

Well, since I've done a series blasting different technical aspects I may as well call it "Amp Blasts." Today in particular it's time to tackle a topic that has become a staple of this generation of consoles and also a rather disingenuous one at that. The concept of firmware updates on consoles is not a bad idea at all as it does allow for new features and fixes to be implemented. At the same time, these updates sometimes do backfire, HORRIBLY! Of note being that some updates have bricked consoles. In addition, some games try to mandate firmware updates, but my question is WHY? Seriously, forcing firmware updates drives me insane. I shouldn't have to update to a firmware that may brick my console or in the case of my PSP and Wii wipe out my homebrew capabilties.

Yea, kind of didn't realize this, but apparently Sin and Punishment: Star Successor and DeathSmiles are both coming out this weekend.

Reverse Engineering (reversing) is the process of deconstructing the target, probing the target, connecting various aspects of knowledge all with some relation to the target, and using this knowledge to piece together the functionality of the target's components in order to obtain a full understanding of the target (or at least enough understanding in order to achieve the goal). This applies to everything; it's part of the scientific process.

I know lately I've been doing posts blasting how some consumer products have taken steps in the wrong direction. Well, there is one part of gaming in particular that needs to be addressed, and it's the Wiimote!

Ok, this is a bit of a gripe I've had about the SATA standard for a while, but now it has become a major issue cause I want to get a DVD-RW drive but all of them are SATA and my motherboard only has 2 ports. In the case of the old IDE standard, 2 devices per channel could be used and that would be it. In the case of SATA though it only supports 1 device per channel unless a port multiplier is used which given their pricetag aren't worth it cause a SATA controller could be bought for half of the price. The biggest issue is that with the new SATA 3.0 standard it's STILL only 1 device per channel.
