  1. Re:What's the advantage? on Review of GMail for Your Domain · · Score: 1

    I was using the same setup, but switched. One advantage is that you can use your domain account for chat instead of your gmail account that nobody knows. I miss an import feature, but for now I am forwarding everything to my gmail account and leaving a copy in the new domain account. That way I will at least have one account with all the messages.

  2. Re:motorola sony on Practical Cell Phones to Complement Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    I have to agree with Motorola. I just got two new phones, one for me and one for my wife. I had basically the same criteria as you. We got a Motorola V180 and a Motorola C650. The V180 is a simple flip phone, and the C650 is a non-folding camera phone. I chose them because the V180 works with iSync and they both have a standard mini USB connector on them. I guessed that because they were similar enough that the C650 would sync as well, and it did. It looks like the V180 has been replaced by the V188. It has 14.5 days of standby, the C650 only has 9 days. I let my wife have the V180 and I took the C650. I wish I had got a V180 as well. The joystick is touchy on the C650 and having to lock the keypad is a hassle, and I never use the camera. But they both do sync to my iBook, with the cheap mini USB cable that came with my card reader. Try to find a cheap cable to talk to some other phone.

    Looks like Tony needs to learn windows. May he rest in peace. I can't think of a better quality match than MS and Fiat.

  4. Where's tjhe hard drive? on Gateway Wireless Connected DVD Player Reviewed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why do they always stop short. They always add one feature but forget the other major ones. PVR's should be able to play DVD's and vice versa. When will they get it. A network player is not novel.

    Plus, you can deduct the mortgage interest from your taxes, so that 7% could really be less than 5%.

    If you have to ask, you shouldn't be reading /.

  7. VIA VT8606 (Twister-T) + VT82C686B Chipset on Lindows Releases Inexpensive Subnotebook · · Score: 1

    I believe the video is integrated in the chipset. This is clearly not a gaming machine so the video is good enough.
    I got the chipset from this website:

  8. Breath Detector on A Humanitarian Engineering Problem · · Score: 1

    Build a device to monitor her breathing. She could hold her breath to set it off. If she cannot afford a professional one, a simple way to make an air flow sensor is to run current through a thermistor. The current heats the thermistor and the air cools the thermistor. In still air the thermistor will reach a different temperature than in moving air, and thus the resistance will change and you can detect a voltage change. The best part of this device is that it should fail safely.
