  1. Open Letters on Red Hat License Challenged · · Score: 1

    This whole "Open Letters" thing is overdone and getting old. If you have a problem with RH (or anyone else) the only appropriate thing to do is to first contact THEM, in a "closed letter". Have some courtesy instead of flaming. Life isn't like a Usenet newsgroup

  2. Re:IEEE Sending a Message? on 802.11g Slows Down · · Score: 1

    Not possible. The people developing the standard are employees of those same companies making the products. There are no IEEE "employees" making standards.

  3. reality check on speeds on 802.11g Slows Down · · Score: 1

    Even before this change, 802.11g didn't get 54. It got about 24. So now it only gets 20. It will still be advertised as 54. Just as 802.11b only gets 5 even though it is advertised as 11. BTW, 802.11a which is also "54" only gets 24.

  4. Re:Galileo museum in Florence on Seeking Interesting Sites When Travelling the World? · · Score: 1

    I must concur. I went there on my honeymoon and it was great. Most but not all of it is in english. I think the museum is called the Museum of the History of Science, not the Galileo museum, thoughl

  5. Re:Hardware requirements on Ask Eric Blossom about Software-Defined Radio · · Score: 2, Informative
    I'm one of the other GNURadio developers...


    You can just use a soundcard if that's all you have. It will get you 44 kHz of bandwidth. Then you'd need a rf tuner in front of that.

    On the high end, we use a $1k+ 20Ms/s card with a cable tuner.

    It is widely believed, but not yet proven, that you can coax raw samples from a BT8x8 video capture card, which would be a great boon, as those are cheap.

  6. How many pounds? on Verizon Lawyer Explains Telecoms' DMCA Position · · Score: -1, Redundant

    How manypounds is the gorilla supposed to be? I've heard 300, 500, 800... 300 doesn't sound that scary.

  7. Re:The scheming Jew, a blood sucking tick on Jon Johansen DVD Trial Date Set · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Stupid Racist idiot.... Besides, Coble isn't even Jewish. I don't think Redstone is either

  8. Re:Lesser of two evils? on VeriSign and Other Registry Giants Blast ICANN · · Score: 1

    The Swiss also collaborated with the Nazis...

  9. How much does it cost? on Proper Serial Console Support · · Score: 1

    They left that off their page... Its also a lot of hardware for something so simple.

  10. Re:Player for Linux? on TIE-Tanic Movie · · Score: 1

    I haven't played it yet (slashdotted), but I dl'ed a G2 alpha for linux earlier today. Maybe it will do the streaming version, which I hadn't seen earlier. I guess we're out of luck on the Quicktime one though.

  11. Player for Linux? on TIE-Tanic Movie · · Score: 1

    How do you guys play this on linux? Xanim 2.80.1 doesn't work for me

  12. Sony is HUGE on Sony Bets Its Future On PlayStation II Console? · · Score: 1

    How could one product make or break such a huge company? Sony owns consumer electronics. There would hardly be a dent if they didn't sell a single PS2
