    The CNN article - the network they're launching, are they not the people that sign your paycheque?

    Damn right!

    It's called Braille.
    A Freshmeat search turns up quite a bit of information about using it on posix OSs.
    Here's the Linux braille tty driver.

    You don't need to do that.
    MX records do that for you.
    You can actually have email@mydomain.com when you don't have a box providing an ip for mydomain.com
    MX records say "hey, you, all the email for is handled by - as such, you could easily tell your DNS provider to set the MX for any number of hosts to 127.0.0.1

  5. Re:What next... on Authors Guild To Members: De-link Amazon.com · · Score: 2

    Car manufacturers have been known to sell even new cars at cost - if the buyer is taking financing through their firm.

  6. When shopping online, how do you find your store? on Authors Guild To Members: De-link Amazon.com · · Score: 2

    I search, usually using Google.
    Well, you tell me who comes out on top.

  7. Re:No DirecTV or Dish on PVR For Linux · · Score: 2

    Except the Siemens card supports external CAM (read as smart card) holders, and one of the systems these card readers support is Nagravision - take a look at the back of your Dishnetwork CAM and I think you'll be surprised...
    Yup, Dish network has licenced their Conditional Access Module from the Nagravision guys.

  8. Re:Answers to a few "questions" on Tool Box PC · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I noticed that the PS is in the middle and the drives all on the right,

    Isn't this thing a bitch to carry? I mean, with the weight largely on the right the right-hand side, I can see this thing twisting your wrist as you carry it...

  9. Re:I want journalled filesystems on Debian! on Debian 3.0 (Woody) May 1? · · Score: 2

    I sit in on #debian on OPN. Almost all the helpers (myself included) have been helping guide people through ext3 upgrades since Alan Cox included it in the -AC kernel tree.

  10. Re:Does anybody know what happened to the pine src on Debian 3.0 (Woody) May 1? · · Score: 2

    If you updating using apt-get update instead of dselect, it won't remove galeon at all - it'll put mozilla on hold until the packages are in sync.

    try this package: http://packages.debian.org/testing/admin/pine-trac ker.html

  12. Re:Submarine Operation Rules/Standards on Your Own Luxury Submarine! · · Score: 2

    Well, military subs tend to have rather good sonar, so just play the hampster dance. They'll know then that it's not piloted by any self-respecting military captain.

    That's why I love my Visor. I've got a springboard module for that.

  16. Re:Will Boeing take the $825m hit? on NASA Satellite Stranded · · Score: 2, Informative

    Um, Boeing isn't part of the arline industry, it's part of the areospace industry. The airline industry is the one that actually ferries people & goods around on the airplanes.

  17. Dangerous? on NASA Satellite Stranded · · Score: 2, Funny
    However, experts are saying either option would be a very complicated and potentially dangerous mission.
    Well yeah, would you want to fly a glowing hot shuttle through the atmosphere with a cargo bay loaded with a leaking fuel cell?

    ouch

  19. Re:I see a market in smuggling MP3 players. on Canada to Raise Tariffs on Recordable Media · · Score: 2

    So buy a compact-flash MP3 player. I've got one sitting on my desk. (I'm a Canadian) I can't see the CF manufacturers and photo industry allowing the RIAA to put a tarif on CF. MP3 usage is probably the least common usage of CF.

  20. Re:Don't laugh on Canada to Raise Tariffs on Recordable Media · · Score: 2

    Um, you obviously didn't do much digging on this one, as immediately after this was reported in the media, Adobe released a statement saying that due to a misprint, the restriction read "This ebook can not be Read Aloud" instead of "This ebook can not be used with Read Aloud" - their text-to-speech program. This is not at all strange either, as any publications of Alice made in the last 50 years are NOT in the public domain - any re-publications are covered for an additional amount of time.

    Not likely. There isn't an organized Canadian linux distro. OpenBSD on the other hand...

  24. Re:I wish! on Interesting Concepts in Search Engines · · Score: 1

    Uh, slashdot links to everything that Rob and Timmy think is 'cool' - we had a link the other day to a hub-in-a-teddy-bear, and today a link to a PGP press release - the two are as far as can be from each other.

  25. Re:Your lawyer is a fucking retard on Abusing the GPL? · · Score: 2

    It's only a copyright violation if the code is re-released. That's not /his/ responsibility, that's the company's.

    ALSO - he's not talking about removing comments variablenames & whitespace in the gpl'd source, but his company's.
