  1. Out of Date? on Linux On Your Tablet PC · · Score: 1

    That site seems rather out of date. The Tc1000 isnt as standards based as the Tc1100. For kicks I tried debian and mandrake on a Tc1100 with little success, maybe we need a linux guide for newer tablets to lure in windows-only-persons.

  2. Sorry, Your screwed. on Professional Photographers Using Linux? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I took some slides for a yearbook production in town, and try as I may: Windoze, Linux, BeOS, anything, they all came out terrible. Using a flatbed scanner with Slide Adapter just doesnt produce great results. Period.

  3. Microsoft? on U.S. Military To Create Its Own Internet · · Score: 1

    Why does the goverment continually include Microsoft in its secure networks?

  4. Torpedo on Toshiba's Wristwatch PDA · · Score: 2, Funny

    All those in favor of wearing a grey and blue torpedo on their wrists and calling it a PDA, say I. In other news you can buy a nice pocket sized device that wont make you look so odd when you check the time....

  5. Symmetric speeds!? on Cincinnati Gets Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Why is it that the (currently) most controversial method of broadband internet access gets symmetric speeds by default? Are power companies the only ones to realize that it makes sense to give identical upload and download?

  6. Muzzled on Germany Muzzles SCO · · Score: 1, Redundant

    If SCO has been finally quieted in Germany, why can they not put their money where their mouth is in the US, and show some proof for their bitchin'?

  7. ACPI on Mars Rovers Update · · Score: 4, Funny

    "The hack works by reducing the power supply to a poorly functioning switch."
    You know, they could just tell the rover to use its ACPI functionality and go into standby and spin down its hard disks....

  8. Trying or Doing? on Rome Moving to Linux · · Score: 5, Interesting

    They are planning to start soon trying Linux on the desktop:
    The subject would suggest that it has been chosen to switch to Linux, but as we can see they are just going to be 'trying it'. How many people have 'tried' switching and given up under pressure from Micro$oft?

  9. Re:Kazaa Usage on Napster Sells 5 Million Songs · · Score: 1

    After all, who wants to use a service where song downloads are not guaranteed to be of decent quality and virus free?

  10. Re:You think that's bad... on Could Broadband Over Power Lines be Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    Do your laundry, vacuum your floors, and wipeout internet for your neighborhood all in one foul swoop. Sounds like bad news to me.

  11. The Switch on Moving Your Kids to Linux? · · Score: 1

    This discussion seems to be quite related to life these days. Try switching an operating system and there is a solid split between yay and nay. My school is a great example, we had a Win2k Webserver and the principal was wondering why we should move a webserver off of windows!
