  1. free xp on Linux For Housewives. XP For Geeks. · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the xp 701 and the linux 701 cost the same.

    so, why not get the xp license to use for free,
    and then install linux yourself on the laptop.

  2. Re:It's an "older" technology on Schneier Asks Why We Accept Fax Signatures · · Score: 1


    The first fax machine was sold in 1861.
    100 years before the @ sign was used.

    So, yes, older; really.

  3. Re:Not an especially unique theory. on Earth May Once Have Had Multiple Moons · · Score: 2, Informative

    insightful?

    lagrangian points require two bodies

    what was the second body creating the points while the moon was being formed?

  4. Re:That's an easy one! on Why Don't We Invent That Tomorrow? · · Score: 1

    A time machine will never be invented. It will just show up one day. The person who "invents" it will just send it to himself in the past.

  5. Re:A warning.... on Farscape Finale Tonight · · Score: 1

    The pulse pistols were left behind also.

    John and Aeron were probably transported up to the alien ship, but the transport left nonliving materials behind.

  6. not both on OLEDs May Generate Electricity · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Read the article

    It says that to generate electricity it needs to be formulated differently.

    So you get a display or a solar cell, not both.

    But, maybe they can work on an new proccess that does both.

  7. WLANs don't bother the plane? on 64kbps @ 40,000 ft. · · Score: 1

    So we can set up 802.11b networks on airplanes, but we can't use cell phones.

  8. did it w/o GPS on Inventory Tracking Using Handhelds? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've worked and programmed the symbol ones, to do this very thing (w/o the GPS). They work great. You should be able to do it with a GPS that attaches to the serial port with no problem.
