  1. Were they free first ? on Wired Strongarms Subscribers? · · Score: 1

    Did they notify and get a consent from the subscribers that they will begin charging ?

  2. Re:Of *course* not. on China Plans Deep Impact Mission · · Score: 1

    Duh! How did I not remember that.

  3. Unlike NASA mission ???? on China Plans Deep Impact Mission · · Score: 1

    I thought NASA exploded the comet to prevent future collisions too ??? or did they do that just for fun?

  4. Social Engineering on Cell Phone Records for Sale · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Social Engineering will always be a security issue no matter how secure we get with hardware and software. Someone will always have access to all the records and keeping his mouth shut is not something computer geeks can do.

    Google Slashdotted.

  6. 6 months for complete nail on Secure Data Storage... On Your Fingernails · · Score: 1
    It takes 6 months for the whole nail but i clip my nails every week, so I would loose a part of data every week unless I become unhygenic to prevent clipping off my data.

    Well their slogan would be something like this "Nail your Data" or
    "Grow your nails, Save your Data"

    I am sorry. Didn't know there was automatic sig field in preferences so I was doing it manually. Sorry again.

  8. Getting Used to on Why New OSes Don't Catch On · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Switching OS's is like switching the gas and brake pedal of a car for the average user. Computer geeks can handle a OS change and get used to it but it's hard for the average person to try and understand and navigate through a new OS. So since they were brought up on a windows OS in school/college, they tend to stick to it.

    Didn't the already hundreds of satellites launched in space alter her horoscope? Or do only planets counts. Oops this was a comet. So I guess only planets and comets count.

  11. Two sides of VoIP on VOIP, The Traditional Telephony Killer? · · Score: 1
    I see VoIP on two levels.
    First level is your in-house voice transmission. This is how your voice is transmitted from your D-Mark in your office building. Second level is how your voice is transmitted to your D-Mark.

    The first level is as good as copper or maybe even better(if you good networking gear) coz there is hardly any latency or lag and packet drops if your network is setup properly. This has many advantages over copper the biggest being you don't have to run two seperate POTS and internet lines if you bringing up your own building or using a warehouse.

    The second level needs a bit of improvement. As there are many hops and so many factors that determine your packet drops and latency.

    I have seen all combinitions of the above two-levels and while I have seen issues with the second level, the first level (inhouse) by itself is nearly flawless depending on your network admin.

  12. It's huge on Linux Finds Its Way to More Handheld Devices · · Score: 0
    It's huge but seems a little smaller than a laptop. How would a tablet(15") with one of the linux flavours compare to it?

  13. Re:electricity on Harvesting & Reusing Idle Computer Cycles · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I very much agree with you. With summer electricity bills soaring I sometimes think of shutting down my PC at night just to save a few dollars. With higher CPU usage comes more electricity and more heat.

    The day is not far when employers will prefer computers as employees than humans. Looks like we programmers are digging our own graves :(

    Local stores (bestbuy, frys) are high up on prices but on some sales they go lower than some of the online stores. So keep an eye on them too.

  16. Re:Sounds like a vonage commercial on Using BroadVoice with Asterisk How-To · · Score: 1

    So far, the whole asterisk project is in the toy stage, but Skype is going strong already. You want to make sure it's not the other way round

  17. BV Could Be Better on Using BroadVoice with Asterisk How-To · · Score: 1

    I had signed up with broadvoice since they are the only ones i could find who had a BYOD(Bring Your Own Device) plan. Fisr of all the configuration on their webiste did not get anything to work. After tinkering around a little bit I could make outgoing calls. Serveral emails to their tech support and half-an-hour to an hour holds on the phone did not provide any clue. Then two or three days later the good people on the asterisk IRC gave me some help with which I was able to recieve incoming calls. All worked good for two days after which BV would randomly send some calls to VM and some calls would go through. Tried playing around with for another month but still no luck so had to disconnect and ask for refund.
    I thought i would have a hard time getting the refund back but the customer service for the refunds replied back much faster than the tech support.

    So if you want a line by which people can reach you and not your voicemail even if your available then try other options as vonage or such.
