  1. Where do they get the names from? on ZigBee Low-Power Wireless Networking · · Score: 5, Funny

    First bluetooth, now zigbee (wifi should be in here somewhere too I suppose), what do they do, get pissed in the office on a friday arvo and pull stupid arse names out of a hat?

    I can just see a group of marketroids sitting round in a room saying things like, "oh numbers, they'll never catch on" "quite so, we need something snazzier" "wait a minute, a bee is flying into my beer" "oh look, a ziggy cartoon"

    "EUREKA!!!!! lets call it ZigBee"

    "good idea, pass me another beer"

    check out the Win95 Kernel Toys.

    In it is a tool called "Windows Process Watcher", very good for finding out what processes are running and things like that. Should work ok for '98

  6. Re:Did radio live to 100? on 100 Years of Radio · · Score: 1
    Radio is still alive and well down here in OZ Land, TripleJ is doing a great job promoting Australian bands, and the youth culture stuff as well.
    Plus we have the JJJ Hottest 100, which they say is the biggest user voted music countdown in the world. They have really nifty talkback radio on during the day too...

    Check it out --> TripleJ

  7. Re:Nor are there any offered in Australia on More Sony AIBOs On the Way · · Score: 1

    If this is the same piece of footage that I saw, if you had listened to the voiceover, it's British... they were talking about the coming of the things in Britain... at least thats the bit I saw, channel 10 news I believe

  8. Squishdot on Open Source or Commercial WWWBoard Software? · · Score: 1
    has anyone else been able to contact squishdot?

    I can't seem to get a response at all.....

  9. Re:Holographic lighting? on The Truth About Flourescent Lights? · · Score: 1

    We had a problem with having no light during the day in the bathroom and kitchen. Saw a demo of Solatube's at one of those home shows. Went into a totally black room... shut the door, then pulled a lever, it opened the panel what was covering the tube, was like sitting outside, very good. The other attraction about these is that they don't add a lot of heat to the room. You can also get nifty fan attachments for toilets and suchlike. ---
