  1. Which technology ? on No, Your Phone Didn't Ring. So Why Voice Mail From a Telemarketer? (lifehacker.com) · · Score: 1

    Which "technology" do they use to leave the voice mail ? I'm pretty sure we can block that in our phones.

  2. Re:Let's follow the money trail... on Blog Content Based Solely on High Paying Keywords · · Score: 1

    Absolutely true. I don't believe in this logic and tried to show that it "works" on everything which in turn should show it can't be true.

    Everybody tries to get sell on max price prossible and what is taken comes out of somebodies profit.

  3. Re:Let's follow the money trail... on Blog Content Based Solely on High Paying Keywords · · Score: 1

    It's really in the eye of the beholder if you pay for everything or nothing.

    Usually companies raise their prices to the maximum accepted price anyway. So whatever is taken from them reduces the profit and nothing else.

  4. Re:Let's follow the money trail... on Blog Content Based Solely on High Paying Keywords · · Score: 1

    This "logic" can be used to make you "pay" for everything. Want an example ?

    1. Supermarket lowers the price of milk
    2. Supermarket must still make profit
    3. Supermarket raises prices for something else

    Who pays ? You do.

    1. People donate money in church for charity
    2. People still need to feed their families
    3. Workers demand a raise
    4. Company needs to raise prices to pay workers

    Who pays ? You do.

    Just a thought...

    The Vmware 4 modules also don't compile any more.

  6. Re:high key ads on Google Updates Its Face · · Score: 1

    If you don't want to see ads in your Google results, use Privoxy and this AdWords filter.

  7. Re:Article on New Documents Shed Light on Microsoft's Tactics · · Score: 4, Insightful

    BTW: Appending "&pagewanted=print" gives an even more readable page.

  8. Re:thank god ... on GnomeMeeting 1.0 Videoconferencing/VoIP Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Just use the GNU Gatekeeper as a proxy for your firewall or NATed network.

    It's freely available on *iX, Windows and Mac.

  9. Re:NAT and Firewall support on GnomeMeeting 1.0 Videoconferencing/VoIP Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    I forgot the URL: www.gnugk.org

  10. Re:NAT and Firewall support on GnomeMeeting 1.0 Videoconferencing/VoIP Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can use the GNU Gatekeeper to tunnel Gnomemeeting or any other H.323 endpoint through a firewall or NATed network.

  11. Re:Search engine spam is the key... on Search Beyond Google · · Score: 4, Insightful

    > ..a search engine whose results can't be manipulated has existed a while.
    > It's called a phone book.

    The phone book can't be manipulated, because it doesn't try to rank entries. Try to find the right person called "Smith" in a phone book...

    When you look at the Yellow Pages, they do some sort of ranking and they do get manipulated by those with a lot of money who can take out a bigger ad, but aren't better than any other business.

  12. Re:What I want to know is... on Get to Know GnomeMeeting · · Score: 1

    Probaby never ? Isn't Skype using it's own propertirior communication protocol ?

  13. Re:gnomemeeting and netmeeting on Implementing Intercom-like Videoconferencing? · · Score: 1

    If you are having problems with NAT, you can install the GNU Gatekeeper on your firewall to tunnel your H.323 connections through.

  14. Re:Wait a second on Software Code Quality Of Apache Analyzed · · Score: 2, Funny

    They probably compared it to IIS 7.4 to make it a fair comparison. ;-)

  15. GNU Gatekeeper on VoIP Booming in Africa · · Score: 1

    Then you should also mention the GNU Gatekeeper to manage VOIP networks with Gnomemeeting and other H.323 clients and gateways. Its GPL and runs on Unix and Windows.

  16. mobile.de on The Biggest MySQL Cluster, Ever? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    mobile.de (German car marketplace) has over 100 MySQL database servers in their cluster and is performing very well.

  17. LVS is rock solid! on Load Balancers for Linux? · · Score: 2

    We use LVS to handle millions of pages a day and it just goes on and on. I'm glad we didn't spend money on the big names.

  18. Programming Environment for Eiffel on SmartEiffel 1.0 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    For a nice IDE for Eiffel you should get the Eiffel extension for the SNiFF+ environment

    http://www.willamowius.de/eiffel.html

    There are free versions of SNiFF+ for projects up to 200 (?) classes which should be ok for starters.

  19. GNU Gatekeeper on Using VoIP to Connect Phones Between Offices? · · Score: 2

    If you are using H.323, get the GNU Gatekeeper, also known as OpenH323 Gatekeeper.

  20. Question - How to avoid feature creep ? on What's It Like to be Google's Boss Techie? · · Score: 2

    The ultra lean user interface is a key factor for Googles success. Now that Google grows and more and more people are working there, how do you deal with the feature creep of "can we add this here and that there" ?

    Some new features are great, but how do you draw the line to keep that lean interface ?

  21. OpenH323 is also nice on VOCAL: Open Source VoIP Software for Linux · · Score: 3, Informative

    Instead os using the SII protocol as VOCAL does, you could also use H.323 for example the OpenH323 Gatekeeper, now called The GNU Gatekeeper.

  24. Linux ? on Specs of Salons Subscription System · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly, Linux wasn't designed for many things it's now being used for, either...
