  1. I thought on Cloaking Detection? · · Score: 1

    I thought google ranked websites by the number of pages that linked to a site. How do you fool the spider into thinking that more sites link to your site than really do?

    The search will probably still return their sponsored links first. So this could actually increase the value of paying for a sponsored link.

    Actually, if you dont mind using lynx you can still dial up through unc for free(even if you are not a student). It is kind of convoluted but Email me and I will walk you through it.

  10. go to your nearest R.V. dealer on Mobile Satellite Internet Connections? · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure where hillsborough fl. is but I'm sure there must be some huge R.V. dealers in fla., and any one of them can sell you disk aiming hardware and install it for you too. I believe these generally use G.P.S. to aim the dish, hold on let me see if I can google up a link. Hmm this looks interesting The satel-bag, but you would probable need one of these Staellite finder, but this isn't what I had in mind,ahhhere we go. These guys have the equipment. From reading just now it seems that starband and direct tv 2 way dont work over a hundred miles from home but I sure there wust be some wway around this.

    /. needs to have a side bar you can put on your customized front page letting geeks know things of interest coming up on telivision.

  12. why dont they on Fighting Fire From the Sky · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Why dont they program it to fly around scoop up water and drop it on the fire. Unlike human pilots they don't need to see at night.


    Get about 10 of them flying 24 hours a day, guided by sattelite and we would need a lot less fire fighters.


    Hey you could even have a robotic refueling plane and the fire fighting drones would never have to land.

  13. Being a linux newbie myself... on What's A Good Starter Linux distro? · · Score: 3, Informative
    I have to say mandrake is definately the way to go. Mandrake 8 will get you started in about 30 minutes and it recognizes alot of hardware automaticly. This is a big help especially for getting your nic up and running. This really helps because you can get online for help setting up everything else. Especially if you are setting up to dual boot and can't get online from another box.

    I have tried redhat 7.1 and mandrake 7.2 and I had a sound card I was never able to get working. Mandrake 8 found and configured it the first time(I did'nt even know KDE had a startup sound before).

    I will admit that all the guis can make it a little to easy to set up services though. They can be a crutch and I try hard to learn to set stuff up by hand first using the gui as a last resort and trying to figure out what they did later when I can.

    I really do want to learn to compile the kernel by hand one of these days especially because mandrake 8 will not install on my laptop at all(even in text mode). mandrake 7.2 did but I was never able to get my cheap ass nic to work.

    But like I said I'm no expert and I use linux for work (SQl, perl, webdev) everyday.

  20. Re:But a webserver in my car would be *cool*! on 2.5G Services Start Trial Run In Seattle · · Score: 2
    Or you could do what i did.
    I wrote a small visual basic proggy that sits in the system tray on my win98 box.
    When you push my doorbell (plugged into the joystick port to save serial ports) it maximixes and shows me who is at the door. I used the windows box because it is hooked to the tv and stereo for watching divx movies
    .

    It also saves a snapshot(.gif) to a directory on my webserver(mandrake 8.0 on telocity dsl) and it sends me an email telling me someone just rang my doorbell.

    Now, if I only had a cellphone capable of recieving email, connecting to the web, and viewing color .gifs I could instantly see who is at my door from anywhere in the world.

    Next is VoIP so i could talk to them to.

    Let me know if you want to try this out I'll gladly send you a copy and the source.

    This is certainly not true just a little while ago i had to go to 3com's web site. The splash page has som dhtml to let you select your coutry.The choices did'nt show up with Konqueror I had to switch to Netscape.

    For general use tho, I almost always use Konqueror just because it starts up so much faster.

    Netscape just tries to do too many things.
