  1. Re:live media on Fedora 15 Released · · Score: 1

    Why are all main stream distribution still only release their live/install media in CD/DVD image file? Why not USB?

    you can put the fedora live isos on usb sticks. You either dd if=iso of=/dev/sdb1 or use liveusb tools to get a read-write overlay that persists across reboots.

  2. Hoping for slashback on Evolutionary Computing Via FPGAs · · Score: 1

    I thought this was really cool when the first story was presented on slashdot several years ago. Since then I've been waiting for a SlashBack with more info of recent developments. Oh Well... The article seems to describe the exact same system (although in less detail).

  8. Neat idea on Why Do We Still Use Gasoline? · · Score: 1

    I think that this would be a very neat idea, especially with gas being as high as it is right now. I just don't think that it's going to happen anytime soon, though. The only way it's going to happen is if big car makers start premaking there cars to a new system and they won't do that until they know it will bring them cash.

    Actually they had a question about java a few days ago.

  14. Re:CD-RW - avoid for critical data on Reliability of CD-RW Discs · · Score: 1

    There is a utility program. Its on download.com but i'm not sure what it's called. It worked great for an RW that got corruppted on me once. Also i think(not sure at all) that you can mount an RW in linux in such a way that it ignores errors.

    In his example he showed that his kernel version was the one that comes with RedHat 6.0 (2.2.5-15), which means that his explanation is good for after recent installs.

  16. Re:Wooden peripherals... on Ask Slashdot: Wooden Chasis and EMF · · Score: 1

    I wonder what kind of noise protection wooden peripherals produce? How did this company provide adequate shielding?

  17. Re:Try for optical media for the digital link on Ask Slashdot: Wooden Chasis and EMF · · Score: 1

    I could be way off, but isn't the noise interference that wires are subjected to be eliminated from something optical?
