  1. lazy! on Jef Raskin On The Mac · · Score: 1

    look it up yourself!

    I was very disappointed that it was not recognized as a word by google. Imagine, letting our language grow by acretion!

  2. Re:Microsoft's Lookout on Google Launches Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    Plus this indexes PDF files, which might actually be more usefull than hitting your IE cache. (esp since I use Firefox)

  3. Its called CALEA... on FCC Rules VoIP Must Be Tappable · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you are a service provider (read charge money) you have to provide the feds the ability to wiretap/look at email/im when they present a warrant.
    Nextel PTT has been CALEA compliant for years.
    http://www.askcalea.net/
    This is nothing new.
    From the FAQ:
    Who must be CALEA-compliant?

    All telecommunications carriers as defined by Section 102(8) of CALEA. Basically, this includes all entities engaged in the transmission of switching of wire or electronic communications as a common carrier for hire.

  4. Lucky to have a salary... on InfoWorld 2004 Salary Survey Results · · Score: 1

    When they can hire, code monkeys in Russia or India for a 1/3 of what are making, I'm almost afraid to get too many raises... Don't want to price myself out of the ballpark.

  5. Well Virt-Demension had it in Febuary 2003 on Apple Files Patent for Translucent Windows · · Score: 3, Informative

    https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?rele ase_id=142811

    Trillian also has it, but I don't know when they added it. I thought win2k also had it built in when it came out.

  6. What about olvwm on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Virtual Desktop Pager · · Score: 0

    I thought OpenLook had a Virtual window manager before fvwm... but I am to lazy to look it up.

    ahh the Tesla Death Ray... Always a favorite.

  8. Re:Xmove impractical? on Proxy Servers Lighten Up X · · Score: 1

    The Debian maintanance has been minimal, mainly just helping it continue to build. I use xmove all the time to move apps from my main X display to my vnc X server. But the most I will trust it with are xterms. Motif based apps open all of their drop down windows and leave them open... Mozilla actually managed to crash the vnc server, the xmove server and the original X server. The NX people actually had on opensource app similiar to xmove, but it was rolled into the NX when they went private.

  9. Re:Nextel on Is 3G Irrelevant? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah CDMA PTT more like Push, Wait, then Talk.
    Call setup will have a least a ten second pause from the time you hit the button till you can talk, EVERY time you talk. Unlike the 2 second MAX to start a call and the less than 1 second to continue the call that nextel has.

    If you want to roam get an i2000 nextel/gsm phone.

    And the other carriers would kill to have that kind of a lock on "business" customers.

    The only real danger is that Verizons PTT will suck so bad that it will sour the entire market for the feature.

  10. On the Motorola site it implies this is wireless on Is There Room for an IM only Device ? · · Score: 1

    On the motorola site it says this can be used within 150 feet of a pc. With up to six units on a base station.
    If only it did IRC...
