When Comcast did a modem upgrade they just cut (literally) all the cables going to a digital antenna, wall outlets, etc. to make it simpler to do their single connection. Cancelled all tv the next day and get along fine on Netflix, the digital antenna, and Kodi. As soon as an economical alternative is available to their "high" speed internet, that goes too. Suggestions are welcome.
The plan is probably to eventually have a small fleet of drones attached to a self-driving (probably electric drive) vehicle where they can return to recharge after making the delivery hop locally. The drone fleet could also hop to a new vehicle that was dispatched from the local warehouse with new deliveries. I would not be surprised if the vehicles will also be able to recharge themselves at their own charging ports at the warehouse or somewhere on the delivery route.
I kept two of the Logitech Cyberman II controllers, one unused, just in case this game was resurrected. I'd need to have a D9 to usb serial port adapter and driver that works. I'd contribute to another kickstarter just for that.
Hopefully Google will devote some of the cash in it's deep pockets and some of the resources at Boston Dynamics to pushing the technology for a powered exoskeleton for paraplegics. Without some philanthropic funding or medical plan coverage the market will never have enough numbers to bring the price down to an affordable range. Just being able to stand up, let alone walk, is life changing for someone in a wheelchair.
Exactly. Unfortunately, most Americans don't know or ignore this. The other problem with not knowing the rules are the drivers who stop before entering when they don't need to. New rotaries should be posted with basic signs until they're more common. They recently installed several in my area and they greatly relieved congestion and peak gridlock. The Atlanta area is a prime candidate for rotaries but installation would probably become a Tea Party issue.
This letter is an obvious sham. It's really not directed to the Open Source community at all, it's meant to reassure the fools who think that there may actually be some basis to SCO's claims. The object is to just keep the pump'n dump going until their day in court finally ends it all.
Sounds like this might be usable for anyone wanting to set up a server for a satellite connection that has the downlink via the dish/usb modem and the uplink via ISP/phone modem like DirecPC does. The only linux project so far is at Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/direcpc
As someone who is a current subscriber to DirecPC, I have to wonder if this will mean that whole side of the business will get scrapped in favor of the media distribution side. None of the stories even mention it. The phone lines out my way only support 24k, there's no cable, and I'm definitely worried.
The only high speed option in the rural area I live in is a satellite dish and Linux software has been "in development" for years. The phone lines in my area support 24K tops. I know, Helios sells Linux SERVER software for DirecPC but $200 is a little too steep for me. If they sold a single user package for under $50, I'd go for it. For everything else, Iuse Linux.
Yes, but this system relies on your users being able to use the Windows Cisco VPN software you supply or Redhat (at least if you're talking about the pilot system available in libraries like Physical Sciences). For someone like me with a Sharp Zaurus running Qtopia's Embedded Linux how do I hook up, Mike?
Zaurus syncing ability with the tasklist, calendar, and contacts would be a feature that I *would* pay to get in Evolution. A bookmark storage and sync app would be nice also. And while I'm at it, how about a non-beta version of Qtopia desktop for Linux and wlan functionality. BTW, If you have been seeking a belt clip type case for your Zaurus, it fits the Targus PDAT04 very nicely if you remove the velcro and just tuck the flap over the top.
See the link below for an explanation of one recognition technology. I saw a demo from the company 4 years ago that would pick a face out of a crowd, label it, and follow the person in real time. Scary thing is that this company also makes software for processing drivers licenses. What data is getting put on that magnetic strip on the back of the liscense?
This question is related to the matter at hand in a decidedly negative way and is hopefully not too far off topic as I would appreciate opinions on the situation. That being that the company I have been "working" for which owes all of us all quite a bit of back pay( Yes, I know we should have bailed- it was the boiled frog syndrome.) is now talking about re-organizing and counting the money owed to us as an investment in the new company.In affect, isn't this going to convert our wages into a bad debt of the old corporation and into a risk -free investment for the new company if it's a limited liability corporation? What other pitfalls are there? At this point I feel that 100% of zero is still zero but is there any advantage to this?
There are already public bands at around 10.5 and 24 Ghz suitable for broadband wireless networks. While the equipment for this frequency range isn't cheap, it is becomming more affordable. See www.tlxs.com.
How about a Ferris wheel with a distro logo in each seat and linus at the control lever with a penguin behind him about to bite him on the butt.Various other logo characters could be trying to climb over the fence and up the side of the wheel while it's moving. The circus motif is rife with applicable character sources: suggestions for clown? ringmaster? human cannonball?

Oops - even worse than DB9 serial, it has a gameport connector. Oh, well.

Apparently then I'd never have to see the name Kardashian in print again.

I take it that none of the Slashdot editors have been able to join a group? (===> runs for fire fighting gear and flak jacket)
Remember, whatever this logo is it'll have to be used in costumes at the FreeBSD booth. Think ahead!
Sometimes less IS more!
This topic seams to have racked up quite a response. Any slashdot staff care to provide some ranking compared to other popular topics?

Likewise. This not news or stuff that matters to me.
I know he's using Cisco because I work here too. The whine was a joke!

Looks like the 6.2 beta is 2.2.15 and 6.2 is 2.2.14? Wassup?
PCconnection and MicroWarehouse have them listed but make them check stock. Mine was out everywhere I checked.

Sorry - double post.
