First Ever REAL Wii Modchip Arrives - CycloWiz!

2007-01-31T08:15:00.000-08:00

It seems that Wiinja is already outdated even before its release. Fedex dropped a nice little gift for us today to review. Say hello to CycloWiz!
Here is what we know so far about this chip:

- Quicksolder (no wires required)
- Plays Wii Backups
- Plays GC Backups
- Play GC Homebrew
- Play GC Imports (swap needed)
- Built-in Audiofix (GC games using streaming are working flawlessly, no patch needed)
- DVD-R / DVD+R support
- Optional chip disable wire
- Stealth even when chip is enabled
- Multi-purpose LED

The chip is supposed to be shipped by the end of the week, so in fact this may be the first "real" Modchip to reach the market!

It looks like a very pro and easy to install solution! We're not sure Wiinja has built-in audiofix, but this is definitely a must-have feature. Expect a review soon, including a video of the installation process!

The teams' website is launching soon at Teamcyclops.com

PSP v3.03 Downgrader

2007-01-30T15:22:00.000-08:00

From: http://noobz.eu/

v3.03 Downgrader

After much work over the past few days, we finally succeeded - we have an easy-to-use downgrader for v3.03 PSPs! Some ground-rules:

This downgrader is for v3.03 firmware only. But if you have v2.81 - v3.02, no problem - you can just upgrade to v3.03 to use the downgrader.
You need a copy of the unpatched GTA:Liberty City Stories UMD. No ISOs, no patched UMDs, not Vice City Stories. See here for some info on how to check if your version is patched. The most reliable way : the unpatched disks have the v2.0 firmware update on them.
This downgrader is intended to enable homebrew. Homebrew is NOT the same as piracy. Don't be a thieving loser - buy the games you play.
The downgrader will work on all current PSP hardware (TA-079 - TA-086). Patching of TA-082+ is automatic in the downgrader.
You downgrade at your own risk. There is always a chance of bricking, although we have done everything we can think of to make this process safe.

Full instructions for downgrading are included in the Downgrader_HOWTO.txt file in the ZIP file. Read them carefully! You will need:

The 3.03 downgrader package
Official v1.50 Firmware Update EBOOT
Official v3.03 Firmware Update EBOOT (only if your PSP is not 3.03 already)

Enjoy! You can get support for any problems at the PSPUpdates forum.

Beyond Technical Analysis How to Develop & Implement a Winning Trading System

2007-01-28T19:41:00.000-08:00

Beyond Technical Analysis How to Develop & Implement a Winning Trading System:
In trading, a winning system is everything. Without a systematized methodology on which to base their actions, traders quickly succumb to market fear and confusion and watch helplessly as precious profits vanish. And while it is theoretically possible to buy a canned trading system, most experts agree that the best system is proprietary to each trader developed, implemented, and tested by the individual to suit his or her exact requirements.

In this book/software package, acclaimed technical trading system developer Tushar Chande shows traders how to develop a winning trading system, and how to test its future performance through computer simulation. The result? Users can paper trade their personal trading system before using it in the real world, accurately estimating how well they can cope with the day-to-day pressures of implementing the system when their capital is at risk and emotions are involved.

An Introduction to Language Processing with Perl and Prolog

2007-01-28T19:39:00.000-08:00

An Introduction to Language Processing with Perl and Prolog:
The areas of natural language processing and computational linguistics have continued to grow in recent years, driven by the demand to automatically process text and spoken data. With the processing power and techniques now available, research is scaling up from lab prototypes to real-world, proven applications. This book teaches the principles of natural language processing, first covering linguistics issues such as encoding, entropy, and annotation schemes; defining words, tokens and parts of speech; and morphology. It then details the language-processing functions involved, including part-of-speech tagging using rules and stochastic techniques; using Prolog to write phase-structure grammars; parsing techniques and syntactic formalisms; semantics, predicate logic and lexical semantics; and analysis of discourse, and applications in dialog systems. The key feature of the book is the author's hands-on approach throughout, with extensive exercises, sample code in Prolog and Perl, and a detailed introduction to Prolog. The reader is supported with a companion website that contains teaching slides, programs, and additional material. The book is suitable for researchers and students of natural language processing and computational linguistics.

How to Cheat at Securing a Wireless Network

2007-01-28T19:34:00.000-08:00

How to Cheat at Securing a Wireless Network:
Wireless connectivity is now a reality in most businesses. Yet by its nature, wireless networks are the most difficult to secure and are often the favorite target of intruders. Some of the primary threats are the result of the following factors:

Denial of service (DoS) and other network layer attacks
Unauthorized access across the perimeter and within the organization Application layer intrusions and attacks, both from within and outside the network Extended connectivity through remote access and extranets
An increase in unmanaged or ill-managed endpoint devices
New applications like VoIP, instant messaging, and peer-to-peer

This book provides the busy network administrator with best-practice solutions address these threats and to maintain a secure and accessible wireless network. The book endorses the principle that the best strategy is to deploy multiple layers of security, each reinforcing the other. Yet it never strays from its emphasis on the practical; that any tool or methodology that is deployed must work reliably, allow sufficient access, and require a minimal amount of maintenance.
