  6. Eggleston or Tennat? on Dr. Who on Sci-Fi Channel in March · · Score: 1

    In the Christmass Invasion there is a new Dr. (he regenerates).

    Tennat = new Dr.

  7. Age 66 and the screen looks good on Computers, Long Hours and Vision Problems? · · Score: 1

    The advice of see an eye professional is the start.
    Consider a pair of glases just for the computer. They can be cheap single correction plastic. Keep you from having to tilt you head when you get bifocals, (and you will).

    Always use a high refresh rate. much below 72hz will give you a headache.

    When and if you have cataracts removed be aware that you can change the correction needed for your eyes. The eyes do not have to be the same either. For instance, I had mine corrected so I could see up close without glasses, distance vision requires a correction. Most people do the opposite , correct the far vision and wear glasses for close work.You could get a correction that works on the computer and wear glases for far and up close, lot of combinations.

    Final note; when the time comes, don't wait to remove cataracts, it's time wasted. I wish I had had it done sooner.

  8. slackware on Microsoft Challenges Linux's Legacy Claims · · Score: 3, Informative

    Did I miss it or was the slackware result not mentioned?
    From my experience slack is the easiest to put on an old box. Most current versions of Linux cann't seem to handle low res video during the install. I don't know about version 10.1 but 10 installs nicely on 200mhz pentium for use as a firewall.

  10. 90 mhz ain't much on The Feds Vacate Airwaves · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Can broadband really be put in 90 mhz?
    Consider that a SD tv channel is 6 Mhz.
    Now NTSC tv is not the most efficeint use of 6 MHz , but HD TV takes even more.
    How many people each wanting 1-10 MHz of bandwidth can you fit in this space?

    Don't do any of your own wiring. Hire an electrician, unless your wife needs the life insurance money.

  13. Re:What about ameteur radio? on Texas to Get Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 1

    Signals can leak out of the line , yes. What is going to keep them out? Will a guy with a beam pointed at the wire with a kilowatt on CW do anything?

  15. KDE/GNOME are not the only Desktops. on Conducting a Unix Desktop Usability Study? · · Score: 1
