  1. Geography? on New Method of Tracking UIP Hits? · · Score: 1

    The author said that if a cookie with an IP address in New York and one in Tokyo an hour later means it is a different person. I know that I have logged in to remote sites with a VPN connection and continue to browse the web. Tracking geography of an IP is not an ideal way to track individual users.

  2. Turing Test on Professor and Student Thwart P2P File Sharing · · Score: 1

    I wonder if someone could incorporate a turin test into a P2P program, to prevent automated systems from displaying files. Could improve the quality of p2p.

  3. Re:It also means... on Cingular Wins bid for AT&T Wireless · · Score: 1

    If you are on the west coast, then you are using Cingular's network anyway. T-Mobile maintains the GSM network for the east coast and Cingular carrys the west coast one, I believe.

  4. I've seen this before on Sharp to Sell 3D laptop for $3299 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The company that designed this is Dynamic Digital Depth. I used to work for a company ScreenZone that had plasmas displays showing movie trailers in malls. DDD demo'ed their 3D display in our office (we were going to use it in our plasmas). It's actually a really cool technology. Although the image does not "pop" out at you like the effect with 3D glasses, you can see depth and the image changes based on your position to the screen. Can't wait to pick this laptop up!

  5. Re:Note on Outlook compatability on Opengroupware · · Score: 1

    From opengroupware.org:
    It seems a bit confusing regards Outlook functionality though - at one place in your website you say the commercial version has ZideStore but in another place you say that ZideStore will be open-souced?.
    A: Again a look at the architecture diagram might help in understanding. The Outlook connectivity needs two pieces of software, a so called MAPI Storage Provider (ZideLook) which is an Outlook plugin that maps MAPI to WebDAV, and the WebDAV middleware server (ZideStore) which translates WebDAV requests to calls to the OGo business logic.
    The ZideLook plugin is closed source, the ZideStore server is OpenSource. Which makes sense since the ZideStore server is also the integration point to a lot of other clients (like Evolution, iCalendar/HTTP clients, Glow).

  6. Wireless lightbulb? on The NoCat Wireless Access Point/Night Light · · Score: 1

    I was hoping that it was a way to wirelessly power a lightbulb. Oh well, pretty cool design anyway. :)

  7. Lindows and Linux on Talk With Michael Robertson · · Score: 1

    While I commend your effort in providing a low-cost Windows alternative, I am dismayed by the fact that you seem to be using Linux as the base of your operating system, and yet fail to offer it open-source. Every time I read in the news about Lindows, I see that it is a "linux" operating system. Don't you think that you are manipulating the open-source popularity of the operating system so that you can sell your OS, but fail to offer it open-source?

  8. Am I missing something? on Where Indie Artists Get Everything · · Score: 1

    I went to their website, and their is a $60 account payment fee to start, $40 a year afterward. I'm sorry, a band could set up a website and sell online with Paypal for a cheaper price than that. It bothers me that they tell the bands "keep 100% of your profits".

  9. Broken Link on Spammers Sue Anti-Spam Groups · · Score: 1

    Did anyone do a lookup of the whois data? You can find his email address and a (blech!) PO Box.

  10. Outages on UUNET/WorldCom Backbone Diffiiculties · · Score: 1

    Central New Jersey is experiencing the same issues. The local loop is fine, but as soon as you try to crawl out of Worldcom territory, the latency is ridiculous.
