  1. Re:False on Nexus One a Failed Experiment In Online Sales · · Score: 1

    You do realize that the Desire is the exact same hardware as the N1, right? The only difference is the trackball on the Desire is optical.

  2. T-Mobile + Blackberry + UMA on Best Phone For a Wi-Fi-Only Location? · · Score: 1

    I'd look into a Blackberry on TMO, they have their UMA service which basically gives you GSM over wifi.

  3. Re:Swype is really awesome on Swype Beta For Android Is Open, Temporarily · · Score: 1

    The new T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Slide has a physical keyboard and comes with Swype. I use it on my Nexus One and love it.

    O RLY? Not to mention a few other arm based netbooks with android found via a quick google search.

  5. Android on Installing Linux On ARM-Based Netbooks? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like they are good candidates for Android IMHO.

  6. Re:a question to ask slashdot smokers on American Lung Association Pushes For Ban On Electronic Cigarettes · · Score: 1

    What electronic cigs have you used for a mid priced unit & what if any manufacturer would you recommend or stay away from?

    A Joye 510 PV (also goes by Titan or Dura) is about the best bang for the buck. Cheap and easy to find parts, accessories, and batteries for.

  7. Netflix and DLNA on What To Do With a Free Xbox 360 Pro? · · Score: 1

    I use my 360 for Netflix streaming and local media streaming via DLNA more than I do for gaming. The Netflix streaming requires a xbox live gold subscription though. ($50/yr) I use project called Coherence for streaming local media, which also works with PS3. Not as slick as something like boxee or xbmc, but definitely usable.

  8. Re:So, kind of like Britekite? on Google Maps To Add 'Friend' GPS Tracking · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This was possible back in 2006 or so with Mologogo

  9. Re:I have one and like it on How Not to Build a Cellphone · · Score: 1

    I have one as well, going on my second week with it. I like it a lot. Still trying to get used to it though (previous phone was a Treo 650). I think the biggest thing people are missing with this phone is the NEO interface http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/11/01/shadow-homescreen.aspx that is exclusive to this phone. This interface actually hides most of the Windows Mobile interface from the average user.

  11. Re:Is Gizmo peer to peer? on Slashback: SGI, Exploding Dell, Gizmo · · Score: 1

    I believe both my Linux client and OS X client have the option to encrypt RTP.

    They also use the Jabber protocol for the IM side of things.

  13. Re:Is Gizmo peer to peer? on Slashback: SGI, Exploding Dell, Gizmo · · Score: 2, Informative

    Looks like Gizmo is now doing RTP encryption in the latest versions. Check your preferences, under "Advanced".

    ...$3 a day for select area codes.

    You mean $3 a month.

  15. Re:Fire--- on Firefox 1.5 RC2 Available · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you may want to try rebuilding your font cache. Look at the fc-cache help or man page. You can force a rebuild by issuing a 'fc-cache -f' you may or may not need to do this as root.

  16. Its mirrored on SourceForge too... on Misterhouse - a Home Driven by Perl Scripts · · Score: 1

    MisterHouse.sf.net

    The project originator gave a presentation to our LUG, its pretty cool at what he has setup in his own house.

  17. Astaro Security Linux on Captain Crunch's New Boxes, Part II · · Score: 4, Informative

    This firewall is free for non-commercial use and has a web interface to boot. I've used this for sometime now. It supports VPN, incoming/outgoing email virus scan, IP accounting and routing. It will even update itself on the fly if you want. Here is the link: Astaro Security Linux

    P.S. - I don not work for these guys, I am just impressed by what they offer.

  18. Re:What is the point? on Sony Annouces Linux PS2 Port for US · · Score: 1

    Sorry to reply to my own post, but the PS2 does have USB and iLink(IEEE1394, Firewire). I would say this constitutes as expansion for printers, removable disks and what not.

  19. Re:What is the point? on Sony Annouces Linux PS2 Port for US · · Score: 1

    BTW, the Linux kit specs here for the Japanese PS2 comes with a 10/100 ethernet connection. I would assume that the US version comes with this also.

    You should keep your eye on this app: GliBench
    I tried this out and it seems to work pretty good so far. Hopefully it will get a little more featureful but, hey, it's a start!

    OSX doesn't use the BSD kernel, its a mixture of sorts. It uses the Mach micro kernel with a BSD subsystem. So its not actually BSD as it is a hybrid of BSD.

  25. Re:PS2, boy what a disappointment on Open Source Programming On The UK PSX2 · · Score: 3

    Apples and oranges.... The PS2 doesn't have a PC processor in it, MHz don't mean shit. I mean the "Emotion Engine" was built with 3d games in mind, PC CPU's aren't, that's why you have a video card. Also if this helps any, remember when the GeForce came out? It's core clock was slower than the TNT2 but it would perform 2x or more compared to the TNT2. Now, tell me again how you can compare a custom chip against a general purpose CPU? I would really like to know. Also please don't bag on something you have no experience with. Its obvious you don't own a PS2 or have even used one. Assumptions based on nothing don't go very far.
