  1. Standalone still better on Standalone GPS Receivers Going the Way of the Dodo · · Score: 1

    I own and use both standalone TomTom GPS and a cell phone with intgrated GPS receiver.
    The TomTom is way better and faster. It links satellites in few seconds, the phone needs minutes.
    It has a touch screen with a very usable UI.
    It costs way less than a phone with touch screen and navigation software.

  2. Linux Media Center do-it-yourself on Screencasts of Installing MythTV Via MythDora 4.0 · · Score: 1

    Italian readers can read on http://www.malex.org/archives/2006/05/linux-media- center-fai-da-te/ about my experience on building my own Linux Media Center box based on Fedora Core 5 and MythTV 0.20.
    All my family uses it every day, it was successfully.

  3. I build my Linux Media Center on A Truly Silent Home Theater PC Built for Linux · · Score: 1

    I built my own Linux Media Center based on Fedora Core 5 and MythTV.
    I worked a lot against the noise and now the box is happly working side by side with my TV set. It also passed my wife check. :-)

    I documented all the job on my blog (in Italian): http://www.malex.org/archives/2006/05/linux-media- center-fai-da-te/

  4. Re:Forget IE/Firefox etc... on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 1

    I suggest to take a look at http://www.viamichelin.com/, it allows good map navigation with Firefox too.

  5. MSN vs google (Windows vs Linux) on MSN Search Has Arrived · · Score: 1

    MSN search results:

    "windows": 149,875,141
    "linux": 17,660,857

    Google results:

    "windows": 289,000,000
    "linux": 224,000,000

    Is MSN hiding any linux page? Odd.

  6. The Wayback Machine will show it on Memory Holes and the Internet (updated) · · Score: 1

    You can find the missing page using the Wayback Machine.

  7. Google should ban Bourse des vols on France: No Google Text Ads For Trademarked Words · · Score: 1

    I think that Google could ban Bourse des vols. It should be able to remove any result of queries containing that trademark, so the trademark owner will be happy and... missing.

  8. Re:Here's a useful tool on W3C Web Accessibility Standards 2.0 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I also suggest LIFT as powerful tools for finding and fixing accessibility issues.

  9. Re:Olivetti was the creator. and its not dead anyw on UK Lab Responsible for VNC To Close · · Score: 1

    TridiaVNC is GPL too, as you can read at TridiaVNC Developer Zone.

  10. Tera, not terra on Lunar Power · · Score: 1

    Terra is not the right prefix, you should use tera. Se International Units prefixes for more info.

  11. Wrong year on Microsoft Edits English · · Score: 1

    Only to note that the date is wrong, the right year is 2001.

  12. World Domination on Ask Eric S. Raymond Anything · · Score: 1

    Will Open Source dominate the world?
