  1. Linux Nightmare Scenario on Microsoft's Nightmare Scenario · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is equally a problem for desktop Linux acceptance. As Linux pushes for the desktop, the desktop moves to the network ... no place for Linux to land if the desktop is gone. Of course, Linux might drive the lightweight access device but this is a far cry from Linux on the desktop.

  2. Internal Pan/Tilt Image Sensor on Largest Digital Photograph in the World · · Score: 1

    When are they going to put micro-positioning mechanics on the image sensor in a digital camera. You could specify the area you want to photograph and let the camera take the necessary shots. It get's stitched back together and you have a shot much larger than what the sensor alone can take.

    I suppose you might need some inertial sensors to track any movement but that could also remove any blur. You would also need some pretty good optics.

    Just a thought ... it's going to happen.

  3. Re:WTF on Fox Starts TV Production For Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    This is headed for some interesting space. Gadget full phone combined with heads up infinity focus color display in glasses, in-ear high fidelity audio. The experience is likely to best anything.

  4. I have one for sale... on Wiring A Vintage Teletype To The Internet · · Score: 1

    For 3 years, I've had an old Model 15 teletype connected to the Internet. Prints out all kinds of alerts. It has a website that I can post data to using html that then gets printed at a quick 60 characters per second. It's not based on Linux but an embedded board using a TCP/IP stack. It's for sale if anyone wants it. Slashdot stories sure look different on this thing, but it's nice to tear off the sheet and read them from paper.

  5. Re:whining about the rope on AT&T Caps Bandwidth On Former @Home Users · · Score: 1

    After converting to attbi in Chicago, my ping times went to 3-4 seconds! Turns out, the 128K limit combined with my Daughters computer sharing music through Morpheus filled the pipe. This had not been a problem with @Home. Turned off Morpheus and ping times came right back down.
