Installing OSX Drivers without rebooting
20 August, 2007A step by step guide about a way to installing Os X drivers without rebooting:
1. Download the driver you want to install, for example <ExtensioneName>
2. Extract the contents onto the desktop
3. Open the Terminal application in the Applications/Utilities folder
4. Type “tail -f /var/log/system.log” to obtain debugging output for the first run.
5. Use the menu bar to open up a new Terminal window.
6. In this new window, type “cd ~/Desktop/<YourSoftwareName>/build/Release”
7. sudo chown -R root:wheel <ExtensioneName>.kext
8. sudo chmod -R 755 <ExtensioneName>.kext
9. sudo kextload -v <ExtensioneName>.kext
10. Observe in the log window what happens.
11. Test out the driver by using it…
12. If there were any problems in steps 10 or 11, type “sudo kextunload <ExtensioneName>.kext”
13. To install the driver, type “sudo cp -R <ExtensioneName>.kext /System/Library/Extensions”
14. Lastly, update the extensions cache with “sudo kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions”
The old way needs to delete “Extensions.kextcache” and “Extensions.mkext”, located in “/System/Library/” and then enter the following commands:
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions
Atfer these commands you have to repair disk file permissions with Disk Utilities and reboot.
Much better the new way!!

WindowsUpdate caused Skype outage
20 August, 2007Skype posted on its own blog an explanation for the service down: Windows Update.
They stated that reboot caused by WindowsUpdate caused a flood of login requests, which, combined with the low resources of peer-to-peer network, started a chain reaction to the Skype Servers.

PC Magazine Editor about Vista
19 August, 2007The PC Magazine Editor was a big proponent of Vista in the past months.

The new anti-hackers German law
16 August, 2007The new anti-hacker law as gone into effect few days ago: practically anyone is in possession of tools that can be used to hack a system is guilty.
It means that own tools like ethereal or traffic-monitoring an put to you in serious troubles.
There are large societies of security that practically would close and leave Germany in order to live.
At this point, I’d like to place a question to the brilliant German politicians:
As we know the banks are using anti-intrusions systems in order to protect from crackers, now that these tools are illegal, how banks are suppose to defend themselves?
In Italy, where I belong it clear to all to that the medium politician does not distinguish a PC from a dishwasher, therefore this law will have been suggested from someone.
It would be interesting to succeed to understand which large society hides behind this “innovative ” law.

Come la politica rovina l’informatica
16 August, 2007E’ appena entrata in vigore in Germania la nuova legge per combattere la pirateria: praticamente chiunque sia in possesso di strumenti atti a “scardinare” un sistema informatico è colpevole.
Un articolo di oggi su arstechnica e quello di qualche settimana fà.
Tradotto in soldoni, avere tools come ethereal o strumenti di monitoring del traffico della rete vi possono mettere in seri guai.
Il problema è che ci sono grosse società di sicurezza che praticamente dovrebbero chiudere secondo la nuova legge.
Vorrei a questo punto porre una domanda ai geniali politici tedeschi:
Come sappiamo le banche utilizzano dei sistemi anti-intrusione per proteggersi dai pirati (che non sono necessariamente tedeschi), ora visto che questi tool sono illegali, le banche tedesche non potranno più usarli. Come faranno a difendersi ??
E’ chiaro a tutti che il politico medio non distingue un pc da una lavastoviglie, quindi questa legge sarà stata suggerita da qualcuno.
Sarebbe interessante riuscire a capire quale grossa società si nasconde dietro questa innovativa legge.

Ferragosto a Colico
16 August, 2007Chi ha detto che a ferragosto è impossibile fare kite?
Nonostante un po’ di traffico per arrivare a Colico, i bagnanti erano veramente pochi, anche se qualcuno ha pensato bene di invadere il mitico prato dei kite…
Non appena il vento ha iniziato a soffiare, tutte i kiters presenti sono usciti.
Purtroppo non e’ stata un bella session per via del vento molto rafficato che rendeva la navigazione veramente una schifezza.
Io sono uscito per fare un po’ di bordi, ma visto che proprio non sembrava cosa ho lasciato stare.
Ci sono stati dei momenti in cui il vento è calato del tutto, facendo strage delle vele in navigazione.
