  1. Re:I miss Bernadette Taylor on Music Piracy Unit Raids ISP in BitTorrent Assault · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know what happend to her? She was very cool.

  2. Re:what about Australia? on College Students Turn Away From Landlines · · Score: 1

    Vodafone's prepaid capped plans or similar from the other networks (other than Telstra) would probably do you then. You have chosen a fortuitus time to come to Australia in relation to mobile phone pricing.

    Late last year Vodafone started offering a capped monthly plan (0 $79 you pay, $80 $500 or so is then free)for post paid and pre paid. This combined with giving away a sim card with each Sunday paper one weekend was play to grab market share. All the other providers had to cut prices and start offing capped plans to maintain their market share.

  3. Re:Law & Order episode comes to mind on Robots in Medicine · · Score: 1

    If your manager isn't given the budget to build a completely seperate network, very.....

  4. Re:Specific to Australia? on File Sharing Increases CD Sales · · Score: 5, Informative

    It only covers albums sold in Australia. The stats don't include the sales of Australian artists in overseas markets.

  5. Re:Killer App Scorecard on A.I. Helicopter? · · Score: 1

    I remember one way of inspecting High Voltage transmission lines was to fly a helicopter along it with an IR camera looking for hotspots. Which indicated problems with that part of the wire. Doing that with the drone would be much cheaper and allow it to be done more often.

  6. Re:Howto? on Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test10 Released · · Score: 1

    I don't know the details of your hardware, but for my laptop I couldn't get 2.6 to boot unless I had the frame buffer compiled in.

  7. Re:Mini-ITX IDE and PCI on Move Over Mini-ITX, Here Comes The gigaQube · · Score: 1

    Doing similtainous reads or writes to drives on the same channel really drops the performance levels.

    RAID 5 is the setup he is most likely to be using.

    PCI riser card maybe?

  8. Re:Mini-ITX cases - AARGH! on The "Spider Case" · · Score: 1

    Have you tried to find a case that could fit a laptop CDROM?

  9. Re:Sick of this type of thing on Linksys Still In Violation of the GPL? · · Score: 1

    Funny you should say that. If you RTFA you would have seen that one of the individuals on the mailing list had a lawyer send a number of increasly nasty letters to Linksys. Linksys ignored him to begin with and then later replied saying "we will look into it." That was in July.

  10. Re:Switch to DC on Power Electronics Help to Control Electrical Grids · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is you can't be more wrong. The longer the distance the better the HVDC option becomes.

    wikipedia has the goss.

  11. Re:This is Doomed. on Michael Robertson Unveils SIPphone · · Score: 1

    What is the OEM brand?

  12. Re:viruses are DNA? on DNA, Fifty Years To the Day · · Score: 1

    Viruses use RNA if I recall correctly.

  13. Re:I don't understand this.... on U.S. Ranks 17th in Freedom of the Press · · Score: 2, Informative

    The main reason is due to the arrest of journalists for not revealing their sources.

  14. Re:Flexbackup on Linux Backups Made Easy · · Score: 1

    It would be great if rsync could tell the other end "this file has changed, here are the changes" and have the backing-up end copy the file and apply the changes -- i.e. allowing the creation of differential backups.

    I hate to break it to you but that is what rsync does. If the file already exits where is is copying to it will send the delta (think diff but more efficant and works with binary files.) and only update the changes.

  15. Re:4 square meters ain't diddly. on Fire Extinguisher Balls · · Score: 1

    It is only 1.5kgs (3 pounds). Not that heavy really.

  16. Re:non us subscribers? on VoIP for the Masses! · · Score: 1

    While I can't comment on this particular piece of cisco kit. All the cisco equipment I have seen is dual 110/220-240 V

  17. Re:Not really a world phone on Review of the Handspring Treo · · Score: 1

    Australia's networks do both 900 and 1800, if you have a 900MHz phone it will cope in Australia but if it can do 1800MHz as well you will get better coverage and less dropouts

  18. Re:Banner Ad Invisibility on QT Mozilla Port · · Score: 1

    While Mozilla doesn't do that at the moment it can do something better. If you right click an image in mozilla in the menu there is an option to block images from that server.

    When I first loaded Mozilla and after half a day of browsing I had 95% of the adds blocked.

  19. Re:How this works.. on Upgrade Your Pentium's Microcode · · Score: 1

    One place this could come in handy is in the Linux BIOS project. This project has Linux booting straight out of the Mothersboard's NVRAM.

    Yep, Winjab it is GPL and is written in Delphi IIRC.

  21. Whoo hoo! on The Stanford Poynter Project Study · · Score: 1

    Now I have stats to bludgeon my companies' web desginers with. I keep telling them the web is not a glossy brochure, but they just won't listen.

  22. Dunno about the Startac.... on Cell Phones, PIMs and Linux? · · Score: 1

    But Xircom REX uses Truesync software and it's data is stored in a structured (sp?) text format.
    Which is pretty easy to understand.

    However the Rex is identified as a Memory card when inserted in an Linux Laptop. I haven't heard of the serial docking station used under Linux however.

  23. Re:Does posting anonymously reduce your karma? on Another Peep From Transmeta · · Score: 1

    I belive Karma has a Use-by date. It will expire after a certain amount of time. So as you get use to high levels of Karma you have to keep working harder to keep it. Just like drugs really :)

  24. Isn't that happening in Open Source? on Feedback: Who Owns Ideas · · Score: 1

    This sounds like what is happening with Redhat and Alan Cox, Linuxcare with Andrew Tridgell.

    As programers become well known for their work, companies that benifit from it can and sometimes do support them for the benifit of all of society.

  25. Re:Microsoft should be on this on SyncML May Make Handheld-to-PC Links Easier · · Score: 1

    Starfish's software has software that can do that. It is called True Sycnc Plus It can sync to Outlook 97/98/2000, Palm Desktop, Windows CE, Rex, Yahoo Calender and a bevy of other Organizer.

    *I do have a Bias here I work for Xircom who now own the Rex*

    You can pay for it or you can sign up for Yahoo calender and get it for free. (The free version is missing modules just download the update utility and you can get the rest)
