  1. I would like to mention elinks. on 10 Oddly Useful Specialty Web Browsers · · Score: 1

    I don't know why elinks doesn't get more recognition. It's an ncurses-based (console) web browser with tabs and support for basic javascript. It's easy to compile, even on windows, and even has support for the mouse. As soon as I found out about it, I stopped using lynx and links.

  2. What defines import? on Australian Visitors Must Declare Illegal Porn To Customs Officers · · Score: 1

    So does this only apply to content that you physically bring with you on a hard drive? 99.9% of my media is stored on a server. If I access my data over the Internet while in Australia, does that fall under the same "import" restrictions? What about data left over in a browser cache? Where are the lines drawn on these issues, and in what ways does intent play a role?

  3. Where does this phone see itself in five years? on The World's Most Expensive iPhone · · Score: 2, Informative

    Few things depreciate faster than technology. So I honestly wonder what will happen to this phone in five, ten years from now. You can't wear it. It can't be easily, esthetically mounted to a wall. Maybe it can find a home in a display case somewhere? A couple hundred years ago any diamond encrusted object could/would become an heirloom. All I see happening to this device is quick transition into a very expensive piece of trash.

  4. Trademark and IP Infringement on Making Ubuntu Look Like Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    How is it legal in western countries to use the icons, backgrounds, and logos of Microsoft Windows from inside of Gnome? Am I missing out on something, or is this massively illegal?

  5. Headless nethworked mpd client on Linux Wall Warts Small On Size, Big On Possibilities · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would be really interested in a plug computer with decent audio output. All it would need is a minimal Linux OS with Pulseaudio installed and an open network sink configured. It would allow me to define it as an output in my central mpd server and toggle attached speakers on and off with a mpd client. I've already done this with desktops, but I would love to have speakers and a tiny computer in every major room, so I can just decide what room(s) I want to be playing music in at any given moment.
