  1. Re:Tizen is *NOT* Meego ! on Could Tizen Be the Next Android? · · Score: 1

    Tizen is Enlightentment (yeah the Rasterman version - well at least the interface): Google "Tizen Enlightenment" and see what pops up. Rasterman was heading this way for ages and said this was the future of linux.

  2. Re:Knowing more than parents... on Ask Slashdot: Keeping Your Media Library Safe From Kids? · · Score: 1

    If I had mod points and I could give you all of them, this comment is worth it (just about spit wine out my nose - once I figured out why it was funny - sorry long week).

  3. Seems Familiar on Tesla Motors Sued By Car Dealers · · Score: 1

    Sounds much like the whole Tucker scheme of the late 40's. That didn't turn out well, but I am sure the big 3 gained some valuable knowledge on the behalf of Tucker's ideas... We can look at it and say that the big 3 are doing things on their own and in parallel to Tesla, but the fact that Tesla was [pretty much] first to market and has probably innovated more and pushed the boundaries, they are the pioneers that will likely serve as the research test bed for the others... until they are no longer needed - which must be sometime around - Now. Not a fan of these tactics and being an old car guy, hated what they did to Tucker - from when I first seen the movie in high school. This ain't cool.

  4. Re:Before anyone panics... on Steam Protocol Opens PCs to Remote Code Execution · · Score: 1

    The games I currently play are available from right clicking the steam icon in the task bar - they are at the top of the list. I hate desktop icons.

  5. Re:Distance from the power supply on $50 Sound Cards Impress Versus Integrated Audio · · Score: 1

    This all is kind of foreign to me (learning about acoustics in physics was cool and all, but not my strength). But here is a study that seems to suggest that the parent is correct: http://jn.physiology.org/content/83/6/3548.full

  6. Dans Guardian + Webmin on Ask Slashdot: Good Low Cost Free Software For Protecting Kids Online? · · Score: 1

    Build a router our of an intel atom machine, set up debian + webmin + dans guardian and let them go (well mostly anyway - you can't totally shirk your responsibilities as a parent). I have two kids (9 and 12) and it keeps them out of the bad stuff and still allows them to browse without me having to worry every second. You can set up filters on your own, but it does come with preconfigured ones as well. Plus you have to love the Debian uptime.

  7. Re:Too bad on Logitech Calls Google TV a 'Big Mistake' · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You mean like the ones that SageTV used to make before Google bought them? http://www.sagetv.com/index.html
