Except nspluginwrapper doesn't seem to handle flash 10.1 very well. For example, don't right click on the flash test at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Sadly nspluginwrapper's web site and subversion repository have fallen off the net.
Shortly before reading this article, I was playing with my son's Magna Doodle, making a sketch of our dog. Somehow I was still impressed when I read this article. Nonetheless, the Magna Doodle is still cool. It takes no batteries to erase and even works under water! And it has for 36 years.
They also have an SSL cert:/C=US/ST=CA/L=Mountain View/O=Google/OU=Buzz team/CN=gmail.com/Email=buzz-team@google.com
Looks like it's set and ready to roll. I tried registering, and it doesn't support registration. I tried authenticating with my gmail id, and that didn't work. Perhaps they'll turn it on tomorrow! I also noticed that a different authentication mechanism is supported. X-GOOGLE-TOKEN. Maybe this will be tied to gmail somehow such that if you're logged into gmail, a password isn't required for talk.google.com.
There are 3 interesting ports open too. 5222 is the standard unencrypted or TLS port, which seems to work.
port 5223 is the SSL port, which also seems to work with the same cert as TLS on 5222.
port 5224 is interesting since it isn't a normal jabber port. It answers and behaves like 5222. It responds as googlemail.com rather than gmail.com. curious.
First off, RUNT Linux ( http://www.ncsu.edu/project/runt )is a great linux distro you can just unzip onto a pen drive and run a script to make the drive bootable or create a boot floppy.
Secondly, I've posted a complete list of all the tools I keep on my pen drive here: http://moses.sca.ncsu.edu/phpBB2/viewtopic. php?p=1 84#184
It's got a few tools you list, and several that are a little different. Several are useful installers to keep around, and several are single static binaries that I always like to have around, like putty, WinSCP, VNC, and MS Remote Desktop Client. unixkit-tiny has lots of useful utilities, like cygwin, but not requiring access to the registry. I also keep around a copy of McAffee stinger for quick virus scans. Plus lame and vorbis-tools for audio encoding. Take a look at the link above.
Well, there used to be jabberd quickstart. But it's now a few versions behind. Really though, jabberd is very well documented and not that difficult to set up. I know several people who have done it. Also ejabberd is becoming quite popular, but I haven't installed it yet, so I don't know how easy or difficult it might be. The hardest part is the transports, but core jabber functionality works by basically changing all the instances of localhost to your server name in the config file. And besides, users of AIM mostly aren't interested in running their own server, but they can definitely go ahead and download a client and start using one of the public servers. Many of them even offer the transports to legacy IM services.
This is precisely one of the reasons everyone should start paying attention to the XMPP standard. We shouldn't be trusting a corporate entity and closed standards with what has become a very viable form of internet communication. Just like the standards we use for http, ftp, ssh, and everything else, we all need to start supporting the standards for Instant Messaging too. It's time to get everyone we know off of AIM. And start showing them jabber. And those of us with programming skills need to contribute to the servers and clients to make the better and well known.
WCPE's ogg stream is served by ibiblio.org. They also serve an ogg stream for WXYC, which is UNC's student radio station. Duke University's WXDU nearby also streams ogg from their own host, and WKNC, from NC State is currently working on an Ogg stream, which should be up by the end of the year. The triangle in North Carolina is a good place for Ogg!
I put Linux on mine. RUNT Linux is a USB based linux distribution. on a 256 MB drive, it will only take up half the drive leaving the rest available for storing other useful files and programs. I've found that having a USB bootable linux distro on me at all times is very helpful on many occastion. Check it out. A new version is due out very soon.
This is just the sort of thing RUNT Linux is great for. I don't think you can boot directly from USB, so you can boot the RUNT floppy, and it will run Linux off of the USB drive. RUNT is based on the umsdos filesystem, which is great if you want to use the pen drive for other tasks, but if you want to use it just for linux, you can reformat it with ext3 and copy all the files in. RUNT doesn't come with any graphical environments, but you can easily install the appropriate slackware packages to make it complete to your liking. Check it out!
Perhaps the Widnows or Java code is new, but I've been using the same linux code they have available for some time in our office to announce the presence of printers and netatalk servers to Macs. I've been using a version of this since sometime last fall, and I downloaded the current downloadable version several weeks ago, so at least the Linux version isn't a new release.
Flonix and Puppy. These are both small, and capable of being run off of more than a cd, but they do have bootable isos. They both have flash drive versions, which I have taken looks at while designing my USB pen drive distribution RUNT.
When I'm doing something people don't understand they don't question whether or not I'm doing my job, because it is my job to do all the things people don't understand.
Unfortunately, it's not volts we're after, it's capacity. Amp-hours, or even more fundamentally, coulombs. If you wanted allthe volts you could get, then shuffle your feet on the floor and touch something metal. It might hurt, but it won't power a laptop for very long.
Is it just me, or did they leave out the operating system. That seems like a fairly important component to me. The briefly mention than linux is a bad choice (which I do not understand) but no other meniton is made. If they aren't choosing linux, then what are they using, and are they paying for it? I don't see it included in their budget!
I have Power48 on my Sony Clie, but it just doesn't compare to my real 48GX. 2 main reasons. First, the display is substantially smaller on the clie after you fit all the buttons on the screen too. Secondly, buttons are important. I can perform calculations directly on the HP wihtout looking at the buttons because I know where they are and I can feel them click. On a touch screen, you almost have to look directly at the keys to enter anything. When entering a large matrix it goes about 5 times faster with real buttons.
I'm with NC State University Student Media. This summer we got rid of quark on all our computers and replaced it with InDesign 2.0. We realy wanted OS X support, and the licensing seemed simpler.

Talk to an audiologist and get a set of custom molded earplugs. Put in a set of these and you won't hear much talking at all.

Have you ever tried to jot a quick note on an Etch A Sketch? It's much more like a Magna Doodle.

The zip file is identical to the RC5 release. If you got it already, then there's no need to download it again.
