InHisNamegood bit to you all15:06
morecheeseanyone here into wifi security and cracking? i am a bit (or was a lot last year) and i saw a story today about WPA networks now being much easier to crack thanks to an exploit in WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Security). anyone else hear about that?17:11
morecheeseapparently WPS makes your router vulnerable, which is pretty much every Linksys and Cisco access point/router17:11
morecheeseand you cant turn it off i guess17:11
morecheesewhen i get home im checking if my belkin has it, and if it does im flashing to DD-WRT if it supports my model. if not, time for a new router.17:12
morecheeseheres a link to a FB post I made: https://www.facebook.com/GeekyAdam/posts/25051483502195917:14
morecheesei set it public so u should be able to see it17:14
morecheeseor just friend request me, put #ubuntu-us-pa in msg or itll probably get deleted17:15
morecheesejedijf: hey sorry just caught up on your responses to me...17:21
morecheesetrying to find php file i was working with to test commenting out nanorc php line, sec...17:22
morecheesei literally forget what i was working on...17:23
morecheesemade up a new test.php file. with php include *uncommented* whitespace with no text to the right of it gets highlighted. with php include line *commented* out, the highlighting doesn't show up (neither does any syntax highlighting)17:26
morecheeseso it would appear my problem lies within the php include file...and any other include file that shows the whitespace highlighted17:27
morecheesegeez im really filling up the channel17:28
morecheeseanyways, ill check around online for an alternative php include file maybe17:28
morecheesethanks17:28
jedijfmorecheese: comment out the php inclde in nanorc17:31
jedijfthe rc sets up highlighting for stuff17:31
morecheesei know but then i lose all php syntax highlighting, so i need to alter the include file or find a new one...right?17:32
jedijfor that17:33
morecheesethanks for your diligent help17:34

JonathanDIt's not bad, either. My nieces have those.21:37
adombut yeah, optional full keyboard for the Transformer is what got me21:37
adomplus the keyboard has its own battery21:37
JonathanDadom: I've realized if I'm somewhere I can use a keyboard, I'd rather pull out my thinkpad.21:37
adomso if your tablet is going dead, plug in the keyboard dock and you've got 6 more hours21:38
adomwell21:38
adomits just nice to have in a pinch21:38

MutantTurkeyand what do you think about the lenovo outlet21:43
JonathanDI've never purchased from the outlet personally.21:43
MutantTurkeyokay21:43
MutantTurkey:-)21:43
JonathanDBut I've worked with outlet machines, no issues.21:43
JonathanDI also have an x200 tablet (on loan)21:44

MutantTurkeyyeah.21:46
MutantTurkey:/21:46
MutantTurkeyI have a 2 year warranty though21:46
MutantTurkeyso.21:46
JonathanDMutantTurkey: you could borrow one of mine.21:46
adomthe only complaint i have for my T61 is that the left control button is to the right of the function button, which i ALWAYS hit thinking its control21:46
JonathanDI've chipped a few pieces of plastic off my 61 now.21:46
MutantTurkeyJonathanD: I also am having trouble finding who to call21:46
MutantTurkeythe support numbers are like hard to locate21:46
MutantTurkeyno easy info21:46
JonathanDMutantTurkey: remind me later, I'll help you out.21:46
JonathanDMutantTurkey: I think you can call IBMs support number, still.21:47
JonathanDand get to the right place.21:47
MutantTurkeyokay cool21:47
JonathanDDepending on the warrenty, IBM techs service it.21:47
MutantTurkeyi've got to figure it out soon21:47
MutantTurkeyI just pulled out the original box so hopefully I can find the info pamphlet also21:47
JonathanD1–800–426–737821:48
JonathanDTry that. At worse they'll tell you they don't support that.21:48
JonathanDBut I think there are still interconnects between them.21:48
JonathanDMutantTurkey: and seriously, if you want to borrow something while it's serviced, let me know.21:48
MutantTurkeyI will do21:49
JonathanDI don't have a spare cord, but yours should work with the T6021:49
MutantTurkeyok21:49
JonathanDif you have a yellow plug, anyway.21:49
MutantTurkeydoes it run linux windows what?21:49
MutantTurkeyyellow plug = check21:49
JonathanDwell, I'm putting the factory disk back in it tonight.21:49
JonathanDSo it'll be the factory build, Xp probably.21:50
JonathanDMutantTurkey: if so you can wipe the main disk, just leave the recovery partition in case I sell it or something later.21:51
MutantTurkeyare you kidding? I love XP21:52
MutantTurkeyand are you selling it?21:52
MutantTurkeyI would possibly interested in purchasing it21:52

MutantTurkey:-)21:53
JonathanDLike you, I would die if my laptop failed.21:53
JonathanD:p21:53
MutantTurkeyI can't stand using my desktop anymore21:53
JonathanDIt's my whole life on here.21:53
MutantTurkeyactually its just collecting dust.21:53

MutantTurkeymakes sense21:54
JonathanDdesktops getting a new hardrive tonight :)21:54
MutantTurkeythe eraserhead isn't good for shooter games21:54
JonathanDMutantTurkey: works pretty well for me...21:54
MutantTurkeyreally?21:55
JonathanDMutantTurkey: it's less precise, but you have more range.21:55
JonathanDSo it depends on the game.21:55
MutantTurkeymaybe I'm still a padewon21:55
JonathanDby range I mean, you don't have to lift the mouse like a desktop21:55
