Lame demo or not a big deal

On: Sneak Peek at Microsoft's WorldWide Telescope

I'm not sure if that was just a lame demo, but that "telescope" is really not a big deal.

It's basically one of the application I already had installed in my Linux box for years, but only with a bigger database. That can surely not be accounted as an invention, and certainly not as big an invention as the telescope 400 years ago.

No heat sensors on your computer?

On: California Utilities to Control Thermostats?

As a comment to the article, is mentioned that the computer would melt if the AC would shut down.

Adding Window Managers to the list?

On: The Best of Windows Open Source Software?

IMHO, it should be a nice thing to show the windows users how is the GUI experience on Unix.

So, add as mutch windowmanagers as you can compile (and that can fit in the CD :)

"Driver" for the printer

On: HP Print Server Uses Linux, But Doesn't Support It?

Someone has just published in freshmeat, a package named ULPR.

This software is able to connect to a LPD, TCP (raw) or SMB protocols in order to print.

So to print to the HP printer, just type

$ ulpr -P smb://server/HP_server

a little simple-r solution

On: HP Print Server Uses Linux, But Doesn't Support It?

So why not just by it and see if it really doesn't support Linux? That would end this discuttion wouldnt? Fede2
