  1. Re:ZoneMinder is not all it could be on Where To Start With DIY Home Security? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Please fork and put your code up on github. That's probably the easiest way to whip up a new community around your new codebase.

  2. IJM on How Do You Volunteer Professional Services? · · Score: 1

    I know that International Justice Mission needs IT people to help set up new satellite offices when they start in a new area. See: http://www.ijm.org/

  3. Re:HD Capable on Small, High-Resolution LCD Monitors? · · Score: 1

    Hey that's pretty good. Bonus points if you know of one that does 1920x1200.

    From what I can tell online, that only runs at 1680x1050 even though they advertise "Full HD" support. They must be downscaling. http://www.samsung.com/ar/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=computersperipherals&type=monitors&subtype=lcd&model_cd=LS22TDSSU/ZB Also, I couldn't seem to find an english language page for that product and a search on samsung's website for Canada and US turned up nothing.

  5. HD Capable on Small, High-Resolution LCD Monitors? · · Score: 1

    While you're at it, has anyone seen an HD capable (or higher) monitor smaller than 23-24 inches? Editing HD video at 1680x1050 isn't fun but I don't really want bigger than a 21 inch monitor.

  6. Balloons? on Could We Beam Broadband Internet Into Iran? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just recently there was a story on slashdot about using balloons in Africa to distribute internet connectivity. I don't recall the speeds they considered feasible. Such a deployment in Iran may also have to contend with attempts to shoot down or disable said balloons by those in power.

    That happened once!

    Why not use synergy? It works cross platform so you can control Windows and Mac OS machines as well.

    Forget that, I'm voting for Tron Paul.

  10. Re:Huge number of bugs? on GNOME 2.24 Released · · Score: 1

    Ahh. I didn't read it that way. I do agree that it feels great to squash bugs and see the outstanding issues closed.

  11. Re:Huge number of bugs? on GNOME 2.24 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's just not feasible to write software without bugs. In fact, Jeff Atwood would claim you're an amateur developer until you realize that everything you write sucks. Go read his post on the subject: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001020.html

  12. robots.txt on Archive.org Sued By Colorado Woman · · Score: 5, Informative

    TFA clearly states that there was no robots.txt file. I suppose she expects us (programmers) to rush out and perfect natural language processing so all our spiders can read her stupid notice.

  13. Re:Awesome on Slashdot Firefox Extension · · Score: 1
    The AJAX replies feature isn't for replying to comments, it's for those links that say "X Replies below your threshold." It makes it so you don't have to load a new page to see those replies.


    I don't even know if this is possible within a Firefox extension but it would be nice if when I clicked that link to show the hidden comments, it just displayed the ones that were missing there with the option to collapse them again.

    I love the reply feature though (used it here)!
  14. Write your Senators! on Audio Broadcast Flag Introduced in Congress · · Score: 1

    I wrote my Senators yesterday in support of the bill to block the multi-tiered internet. Don't just rant on here, go to congress.org and write a quick email to them to let them know that you don't support this bill.

  15. Re:bandwidth and syncing on State of Multi-Monitor Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Actually, gigabit ethernet has the exact same latency as 10 and 100 base T ethernet. That's why you see high end clusters using low latency interconnects like myrinet and infiniband.

    I have seen a low end linux cluster powering a CAVE over ethernet though (one wall per box). Worked just fine.

    Get mplayerplug-in. It handles embedded movies quite nicely.

  17. Re:Only one thing though... on Windows 2003 and XP SP2 Vulnerable To LAND Attack · · Score: 1

    I don't bother with ZoneAlarm. I put a linux box in the way and use a protocol level firewall. Also that box has helped me get around Adelphia's (I'm on cable) slow name resolution recently.

    I helped out with the construction of the machine as well. FYI, the reception isn't until NOVEMBER 11.
