  1. Re:Maybe he has a point on Mobile Phone as Home Computer? · · Score: 1

    What about "handtops"? They're not quite there yet, but in a few years, couldn't we all be carrying around PC's in our pockets (with added cellphone component)?

  2. Sounds like large format meeting small format on New IBM Ultra Fast Printer · · Score: 1

    At work, we run Xerox Docutech's and Canon IR110 (a really fast 110ppm b&w machine) as well as Oce's large format 9800's (36" wide by any length up to 650').

    The large format machines use hefty rolls and trim to length during printing. Sounds like this new technology is part large format, whereby it doesn't use pre-cut paper. I would imaging a lot of the speed increase comes because you have a continuous roll -- the space between the paper pages can be significant during the course of an entire run.

    Speaking to printing on demand, I believe the industry is moving in that direction. We have seen incredible gains in our print facility on our new Xerox IGEN digital offset, which can print 100ppm in full color. This is perfect for those who want offset quality, but don't want the hassle of going through the setup process, and running thousand or even millions of peices.

    And, even on our 110, I can print an entire large technical manual in under 5-10 minutes any way (and I assume the cost is significantly less to get a couple of those, than perhaps this new printer), but still for a single machine it is an incredible speed.

  7. Now I don't look so crazy... on How the Secret Service Cracks Encrypted Evidence · · Score: 5, Funny

    for having my hard drive encrypted by a key, on a flash drive, which is encrypted by a password that is generated randomly every five minutes and hased twice before I lock it in my safe deposit box.

  8. ISDN and Linux on What is the Best ISDN Solution? · · Score: 1

    I have had ISDN for quite some time now (3 yrs) and I will never go back. At first I had a simple serial port external ISDN modem but I had to live with a drop in speed (didn't want to pay 90$ for a 16750 uart). Then I found the Toshiba ISDN router. It is an all in one router that supports NAT translation and all the goodies and the best part, it doesn't come with software. Yes that's right, all software setup is done through HTTP straight from your web browser, making it the perfect choice for Linux. The second best thing about this router is that it costs around 140$ for the non POTS version and only 180$ for the POTS version (very cheap compared to most routers). You can get it mail ordered from www.cdw.com
