  1. Palmtop Linux on Ask Slashdot: Handheld Linux, Today? · · Score: 1
    The Psion5 is a start, but it's too slow and has too little memory IMHO (otherwise perfect).

    Mini-x and Bogl sounds interesting. Any links?

    I too have been thinking about the Jupiter (Phillips' StrongARM-based WinCE entry), but am worried that sufficiently detailed HW information wont be available and overriding the WinCE might prove impossible.

  2. Ego-enlarged Tom Reinvents the Wheel on MegaCar: Wireless Linux and Internet on the Road · · Score: 1

    Been there, done that. C'mon. Using several channels to compound the network bandwidth has been available for Linux for several years now. I'd be surprised if it's not part of the standard kernel. The name of this technology escapes me presently, but should be documented in one of the net-howto's.

  3. Cheapest GB archive storage? DAT = $1.5/GB on ORB drives are claimed to be shipping · · Score: 1

    I have an ~100GB archive (50 DATs) and I'd
    love to find an alternative to my DAT robot.
    The problems with the DAT are:

    1) Slow (~ 300KB/s average in my case)
    2) Linear (multi minutes seek time)
    3) Unrealiable (I haven't lost data yet, but
    often experience wierd behavoirs)

    HOWEVER, I typically pay ~$3 par tape which
    translate to $1.5/GB. I have yet to find anything
    to beat that.

  4. Great piece, but what's that ending line? on Interview with L. Peter Deutsch of Ghostscript · · Score: 1

    Peter says:

    Well it has. It's been way too much of a pleasure.

    Well, it's probably a language thing, but could
    anybody explain what he could possible mean by
    that?

  5. Good news if it works! on Corel trades NetWinder division for stake in HCC · · Score: 1

    I really hope it flies, but I'm worried what
    loosing the Corel brandname might do to the
    NetWinder and how HCC is going to cooperate
    with our community.

  6. Who cares? Yet Another Cold Fusion. on Irish Girls Encryption Algorithm (Continued) · · Score: 1

    Anyone with a little knowledge about crypto
    knows that algoritms need to stand the test
    of time before they can be taken seriously.
    And when did we start to take our news from
    the mainstream press? Slashdot is getting
    worse every day.

  7. Is this a 100% joke? on iMac Floppies over the Net · · Score: 1

    .. or does it actually work?

  8. They suck! on Cooler Cases · · Score: 1
    What's the big deal about cases? They whole point for me is to hide the technology. All this showing off your big PC look way too much like truck pulling to me. I want the effect, not the technology. Call me back when they fitted a battery-driven LCD panel puter w/o keyboard into a frame you can hang up on you wall without being ashamed.

    Geek is ok, but go with style.

  9. $15 S/H!! GETOUTOFHERE!! on Slashdot T-Shirt Update · · Score: 1

    Take a look at the total S/H (4 + 11) for
    non-US residens in the case of just one T-shirt.

    $30 for a T-shirt - NO WAY!

  10. For once an original article, great! on Linus in USAToday · · Score: 1

    Now, what's wrong with playing with matches? :-)

  11. I third that on Collection of Fun Video Clips · · Score: 1

    I just discovered the writing, but it took me
    three hours to get back to life. Great stuff.
