  1. Re:The Year of Linux on the Ultraportable? on Moore's Law Is Microsoft's Latest Enemy · · Score: 1

    How do you play mp3s on one of these Linux "computers"? You don't. Umm, don't talk without references. My eee I got yesterday played them just fine out-of-the box when I popped in an SD card full of mp3's.

  2. Nokia n810? on Best Technology For Long-Distance Travel? · · Score: 1

    Your description seems to be almost like the N810.

    Has GPS, WiFi, great sound, decent battery life, if you get a bluetooth keyboard it's almost like a complete laptop.

    I'm not affiliated with Nokia, just fan of the device.

  3. Serbia already has this... on Time-Warner Considers Per-Gigabyte Service Fee, After iTunes · · Score: 2, Informative

    In certain areas in Serbia you can get Wifi this way. You buy an amount of data (the minimum is 100MB, which costs about 1.5US$), and then you use that on the city-wide wifi network until it runs out.
    It is pretty successful I think, since the flat-rate users are capped in favor of the MB-based ones, so I bet that Time Warner will declare the experiment 'successful' and then use this new metric (in case the users don't revolt or start to flee the service).
    Let me tell you, dear Time Warner users that this will SUCK bigtime. Better change providers before this happens.

  4. Re:Licence use on Business Open Source Use Up 26% in One Year · · Score: 1

    Probably because many projects use the Apache license.
    Also, it's sure that not all Apache installations have PHP (there's still a lot of static content).

  5. Re:Is Yahoo the #1 destination? on Microsoft Bids $44.6 Billion For Yahoo · · Score: 1

    The 90's called and wanted their #1 internet destination back!

  6. One can always hope... on Microsoft Bids $44.6 Billion For Yahoo · · Score: 1

    that the incompetence of MS will ruin Yahoo too. I don't consider Yahoo to be a great site overall, it's barely OK, but this doesn't mean it can't get any worse, on the contrary.
    So, secretly I'm hoping that if this deal ever makes it, then it will just make MS lose money faster...
    After all, when you're company is losing money in a certain market, you buy a company that is _also_ losing money...? Sure, that makes sense.
