  1. IR...? on Nokia 5510 - Cell Phone and More · · Score: 1

    I can't seem to see IR support in the specs... has this become a thing of the past with mobiles...? I would buy it at the drop of a hat if it were available here and had IR support...

  2. Re:Interesting ruling...will it stick? on Using GPS To Catch Speeders Found Illegal · · Score: 1

    "So, I guess Fleming is saying that the practice of fining the renter would be acceptable, given proper notice? I'm pretty sure it would fly here in Colorado."

    No the article says the judge finds there is "no legal ability for them to charge a penalty when there has been no damage." Which would imply he doesn't see the practice of fining the renter acceptable.

  3. Fsck the network now...? on Optical Fiber Storage · · Score: 1

    Oh man... just imagine...

    /dev/fibre0 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
    /dev/fibre0:
    Inode 23271 has illegal blocks.
    /dev/fibre0: unexpected inconsistency; run fsck manually.

    Every time some farmer puts a hoe through a cable...

  4. Re:What about MTBF?? on Printing Out A New Monitor · · Score: 1

    And the next thing will be the return of screen savers for phones to stop the blue pixels dying... :)

  5. Re:Would SMP help VMWare? on Dual vs. Single Processors · · Score: 1

    Once again it depends...

    I have a dual Celeron 400 running VMware... it runs pretty nicely... and I have even had a couple of VMware's running Win95 and had the base machine crunching SETI@home at the same time... however one of the main limitations of VMware at the moment is the video... DirectX support is limited so I doubt games will run well no matter how much processing you give it... also make sure you pick the right video card for your X server.

    One of the REALLY nice features of VMware 2 (beta) is the suspend to disk... which means I can now run a virtual Win95 and when I don't need windows suspend to disk, shut down VMware (reclaiming the memory/resources for Linux) and when I need it again it is just a quick reload of the memory image and we are back running where we left off...

  6. Finally... on Grass 5.0 beta to be released on Feb 1st. · · Score: 1

    This one has been a long time coming...
    We use GRASS as the backend GIS for a Web based map query system (http://www.agcrc.csiro.au/4dgm/grasslinks/) it is nice to have a GIS that is free and opensource, and the fact that it has a strong commandline interface makes it easy to script, perfect for CGIs...
    Hopefully 5.0 will have better support for Sites lists and NULL values, maybe even 64bit Archs...
    :)
