  1. Freedom of choice on Intel Warns Asia Over Linux Plan · · Score: 1

    I partly agree with Intel on this one. In many ways China is still backwards and has many isolationist tendencies. China should in no way put into effect a foreign software ban in any shape or form within the private sector where freedom of choice should reign. Should they try to impose their own China Linux OS they will be making a big mistake for the future.

    Government is a different case and I think they should be able to implement a non-MS standard.

  2. Also will EZ-Pass be used for tickets... on UK to Put Monitors in Every Car? · · Score: 1

    This has me thinking about the automated wireless toll technology that helps us speed through the toll payment lines from DC to NY.
    Will we get tickets in the mail that say you speeded from point A to point B because it does a little simple math?
    hmmmm...more revenue..tasty :bigbro

  3. Re:Too much crack! on SCO Wants $699 for Linux Systems · · Score: 1

    Almost time to short sell SCO.

  4. Time is not that cheap on Indie Games - Fast, Cheap and Everywhere · · Score: 1

    Actually a friend of mine is involved in the creation of a game Gastronaut Studios (needs to update his site) it looks awesome.
    He spent just over a year immersed in creating his own 3D engine and puzzle-time-multi player based game.

  5. Mobile Phone Browser War on Browser Wars II: The Saga Continues · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The article says nothing about the cell phone browser war soon that's brewing. As we throw out WAP for full website functionality on a mobile this war will increase.

    IMHO Opera is the mobile browser king right now. They make an excellent product for both Symbian OS and Nokia.

  6. possible problem on Speakeasy Introduces Broadband WiFi Sharing Plan · · Score: 3, Interesting

    if speakeasy is doing the billing: in the mind of the customer speakeasy is the connection. thus, if the local wifi network guru doesn't have the best skills - speakeasy may begin to look like the problem.
    (for business broadband on the east coast or dc earthwave.net.)

    peace outside

  7. block them on Bill Would Let FBI Police File-Sharing · · Score: 1

    sounds like a good time for Peer Guardian

  8. Forget Software on AirTraf 802.11b Security Package · · Score: 1

    Wireless security should be setup via obsticles. The best examples have already been featured on slashdot. Use the light bulbs that distrupt the same 2.4Ghz frequency (can't find the old slashdot article). Just place these around the perimiter of your wifi network. Great for corporate campuses.

  9. That's great...but HSS is cooler on New Loudspeaker Eliminates Distortive Influence · · Score: 1

    sounds kind of boring.

    American Technology Corporation has a much cooler product that will revolutionize audio (not streamline an old tech).

  10. Earthwave does my condo on DSL Hardware for Wiring Condos? · · Score: 1

    A company just wired my building in Washington DC. They charge $19.95 per month for DSL. Not bad for 1.5/384. Think they only provide service in buildings around the DC metropolitan area.

  11. Charge Everybody cont. on Rosen Floats ISP Fee Idea -- Charge Everybody! · · Score: 1

    Should also charge:

    Phone/Cable company for suppling the wire/cable.
    And wires/cable manufacturers say .01 cents per foot.

  12. Gradiual degradation on Live-Action Remake of Akira · · Score: 1

    ...from awesome original comic
    ...to anime
    ...to hollywood

    that's how the story goes

  13. Re: Amtrack on Power Plants On Rails for California · · Score: 1

    I'm sick of paying for Amtracks poor management...maybe this will take a little of the pressure off the taxpayers.

  14. Good news on New Lighting Technology To Wipe Out Wi-Fi Access? · · Score: 1

    Security is now possible as long as your physical infrustructure has a perimiter of these RF lights.

  15. Fuel Cells on NASA Reports Vast Hydrogen Reserves in Earth's Crust · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Fuel cells will be the likely candidate for replacing our oil habits. Hydrogen IS the most common element that we know of (now) and can be produced rather cheaply. When we begin converting to fuel cells we can dip into so many other fuels beyond hydrogen like boron (less ignitable).

    Regarding solar cells: I think they have a long way to go and they use poisons such as gallium arsenic.

  16. Wow! Frederick on County-wide Wireless Broadband · · Score: 2, Informative

    Frederick area is also covered wirelessly.
    Check out Frederick Wireless:

  17. Lindose on Microsoft Starts Legal Fight Over Lindows Name · · Score: 1

    lindose.com
    Linux Dose - A cure for windows. I will gladly donate this URL to the lindows cause, should they be defeated by the mighty dollar.

  18. paranoia? on US Looks At Bioterrorism · · Score: 1

    just telecommute ... and live in the burbs.
