  1. Gateway Connected Touch Pad on Built-in Kitchen Computer? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I was looking into this as well and was inclined towards the Audrey, but then found out about the Gateway Connected Touch Pad. You can mount it under a cabinet (designed for it), runs a flavor of Linux (Midory, from Transmeta),has an HPNA adapter, two USB ports, Touch Screen, and a wireless keyboard. These where pretty much all the things I was looking for. You may not have an issue with wiring, but it was convenient for me to use the existing phone line for broadband access. Having Linux in th box was a big plus for me too; Is there any other OS? : )

  2. Re:I dont like the french either ... on The Plague of Frogs · · Score: 1

    The caffeine is absorbed through the skin and the frogs die of a heart attack.

  3. Related on UNIX Process Cryogenics? · · Score: 1

    This is yet another suspend alternative. This one is not your thread checkpointing type of solution , but allows for a software suspend with no APM support. I scanned though the messages and did not find a reference to this link so here it is, http://falcon.sch.bme.hu/~seasons/linux/swsusp.htm l

    I hope it helps.

  4. It's patented by AT&T on Personal CallerID-Aware 'Answering Machines'? · · Score: 1

    I couple of years ago I had the idea of having an answering machine that would give a message to the caller based on the caller's phone number. This way I could tell my mother I'd be back in ten minutes, and the telemarketers to go s...w themselves. When my previous employer tried to patent it, we found that AT&T had already done it.
