  1. Re:I have made a suggestion like this long ago. on Ubuntu May Move To Rolling Releases · · Score: 1

    I would really like something like that for gentoo. It's a PITA to keep the gentoo system updated, but for user-apps it's not difficult.

  2. Re:One More Reason... on When Your Company Remote-Wipes Your Personal Phone · · Score: 1

    The real solution is to do backups all the time. Not only when you see some stupid article on slashdot on just another way you can lose data.

    But think of the penguins! Would you really want users to kill half of their precious?

    strategically placed internet refugee camps.

  13. Re:and this is news ? on Firefox Extension Makes Social-Network ID Spoofing Trivial · · Score: 1

    "not hard". Well maybe not for your blog with 2 users per week. But for facebooks loadsize it's not a matter of signing up with digicert and enabling SSL. But yeah. They probably should prioritize that instead of some fancy new web 2.0 feature.

  14. Re:Can I do this with Asterisk? on Asterisk 1.8 Released With Support For Google Voice · · Score: 1
  15. Re:What can a home user do with askerisk? on Asterisk 1.8 Released With Support For Google Voice · · Score: 1

    You can route between your land-line and SIP or IAX enabling you to do all kinds of fun things. You could use a SIP client via the internet to be able to answer you landline when you're on vacation .
    You could use bluetooth to detect proximity to your server and then auto-switch your landline to forward to your mobile, or just go straight to voicemail which in turns sends an email with the voice-message.
    You could set up a callback service so that you can call your land-line and press a special key and asterisk can give you a dial-tone so you could call for "free" from your mobile
    Set up queues so callers can wait in line. +++++++

  16. Re:Can I do this with Asterisk? on Asterisk 1.8 Released With Support For Google Voice · · Score: 1

    Timing in a virtual machine could be an issue. I do run asterisk at my job on Xenserver and it works pretty good. But i'm hearing that vmware might have issues.

    It's GNU/Linux not linux. Get over it, will ya?

    Microsoft and Google helped them on this sandbox so I have faith that this is a step forward.

  19. Re:Useless unless *nix replaces Desktop. on Linux To Take Over Microsoft In Enterprises · · Score: 1

    implying that admins leave SSH keys around on desktops for end users? That doesn't have anything to do with OS, that's just stupid.

  22. Re:Don't fear the standard, use a better browser on HTML5 Draws Concern Over Risks To Privacy · · Score: 1

    The problem is, by turning off cookies your internet experience is SHIT. With HTML5 the problem is probably going to get even worse.

  23. Re:True learning machine? on Robot Controlled By Rat Brain · · Score: 2, Funny

    A machine needs to made out of silicone and semi-conductors. Also it should have red glowing eyes and a hard metal skeleton powered by a nuclear core. Optionally you can add some fake skin on the skeleton for apperances.

  24. Re:Bad GUI and no CLI: way too common on Take This GUI and Shove It · · Score: 1

    There's a reason for that you know. If you want the power, just build it yourself. If you start making all these changes under the hood, it's not always possible for the GUI or whatever to pick up on this. Over time it gets messy.

  25. Re:donotwant on Epic Games Predicts Console, Mobile Convergence · · Score: 1

    I don't think the technology is that far away. After all wireless HDMI is available. The problem as I see it is that phones will always be far behind the computing power of a real console. Might happen when everything is so fast that the real bottleneck is the progarmmers and game designers. I'm not sure, are we getting close yet?
