  1. I get these a lot on Slashdot Asks: Have You Ever Gotten Someone Else's Email? (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    There are a couple of people sharing my name that just cannot remember their own email when booking hotels etc. Once I got an introductory email to the new job of these guys got. Took quite a bit of back and forth of "Oh, but of course you need this information" - "No, I am not the person that you hired" - "But it says so right here". Guess in the end they deserved each other.

  2. Vague memories of trying the product on Epson Tries to One-up Google Glass with Moverio-Goggles (Video) · · Score: 1

    I tried the product on the NAB show 2012. It felt rather gimicky at the time and gave the sensation of staring down a blurry corridor. Even without having moving imagery on the device, it was very much a distraction and something that should be used only in safe surroundings (don't walk in traffic with them). It is a very different beast from Google Glass, but I can see some industrial applications where it would work and where Glass would not. It might also be good for watching movies while safely strapped into an airplane.

  3. Gr�na Nyckelh�let on OSI Launches Certification Program With Logo · · Score: 2

    Svenska Livsmedelsverket, Gröna Nyckelhålet Anyone see the resemblence? The green keyhole is the swedish symbol for healthy food :)

  4. Videoclip featuring the Video Flashlight on 3-D Surveillance Technology · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Sarnoff corporation has more information available on their homepage, including a downloadable video clip of the the flashlight in action; available here.

  5. Re:10 mins and the account's disabled on Geek Flavor · · Score: 2

    The last I saw was:

    Broadcast Message from ??? (pts/7) on vux2 Tue Jul 25 08:01:44...
    Hmm, root is editing /etc/passwd... Wonder why ;)
    > Received disconnect: Command terminated on signal 9.

    I doubt his ISP likes having people logged on anonymously.

  6. Suggestion - License Matrix on License Cocktail With GPL In Doom · · Score: 3

    It would be great if someone was to put up a webpage containing a compability matrix on open source licenses. Pick a license from the top and one from the left; a red field means there is a collision (preferably explained below).

    A quick introduction the various licenses would also be helpful ofcourse, as would tips on what to do if you have colliding licenses.

  7. Drivers OK on Aureal 3D Developing Linux Drivers · · Score: 3

    I've tried the drivers w/ 2.2.15pre3 and they seem to work ok. I've got sound and no oopses yet :p
    The driver requires soundcore ("Sound card support") which can be compiled as module.
    The drivers made by 4front seem less stable (three oopses for me) and also cost money.
    Looking forward to seeing A3D in the future, and hopefully 100% Open Source drivers.

  8. Some URLs on Jagged Alliance 2 for Linux · · Score: 2

    The article lacked some URLs, so I thought I'd post them:

    JA2/Linux page

    The official JA2 page

    Great to see new Linux titles. I'm looking forward to the day when I can drop the Windows-partition.

  9. Mesa-ggi ... slow :) on Linux Q3Atest Released · · Score: 1

    Tried playing the Q3test with Mesa-ggi (X-target) since I don't have a Voodoo-card ... well, my Pentium II-450 was not enough to keep the game rolling. I got an FPS of 0.5 ... looks good though :)

    As soon as Mesa and XFree86 drivers are out
    and stable for Riva TNT 2, I'm going for a
    Viper 770.
