  1. Re:SIP and NAT on Project Gizmo Challenges Skype · · Score: 1

    STUN has limitations, TURN has limitations. ICE is meant to figure out which of those (and others?) works.

  2. spoofee and salescircular on Shopping Online · · Score: 1

    Two sites I check out when looking for deals are http://spoofee.com/ and http://salescirular.com/ which has the ads from the newspapers which is particularly good if you want to go out and buy it right now.

  3. Re:Only a moron... on Debian 3.0r6 Released · · Score: 1

    I wish I had the time to write a program to compare the packages in the two distros. It shouldn't be that hard. I have wondered if some of the Ubuntu hype is based on the glitz of their web site vs. the spartan Debian web site. People want to feel good about what they are using, and the Debian site, while functional, is pretty unslick. Personally, I have been happy with Debian for years, and was tempted to try Ubuntu until I realized it is Gnome-centric. I am aware of Kubuntu, but the beauty of Debian is I can try both and be pretty much assured it will work. I don't want to have to change distros just to check out a different desktop.

    Most of the "newer" products is the key. AIU, the encryption in many routers would require some extra hardware horsepower.

    My Motorola WR850G has manually enterered keys for AES encryption.

    Maybe, maybe not. You can quickly handoff to a better cell. Also, what looks like a strong cell can drop because of interference issues.

  8. Cheap DIY screen on Video Projector for Home Theater? · · Score: 1
    If you want a decent cheap do it yourself screen, go with Parkland Plastics building material. I forget the exact name of the material. Check avsforum.com for details.

    It is a white buiding material that happens to have a matte side that is very good for a projection screen. A 4x8 sheet cost me about $13 at Menards. You can order 5x10 sheets direct from them in Indiana.

    The beauty of it is that it is cheap, and much more resilient to things like little fingers and crayons than something like a Stewart or DaLite screen. And if it does get destroyed, buy another one!

  9. are PS2 mice still an issue? on Kernel 2.6.1 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have been using test9, and have been having a hell of a time with my PS2 mouse. On my system, with 2.6 kernels, whenever there is any load, the mouse becomes very erratic bouncing about the screen and clicking on things at random. I've tried as many of the "fixes" as I can find, but none have done the trick. I assume it is limited to sometihng unique about my system (KT600 mobo), otherwise people would raising a big stink. Have I missed the fix somewhere>

  10. Re:You were set up on Replaced by Outsourcing -- What's a Geek to Do? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I was wondering if it was them. If you read Bruce Schneir's Secrets and Lies, you reach the end and figure out the whole book is a way for them to sell their services.

    1. Security is tough.
    2. It is best left to professionals.
    3. You are better off hiring those professionals rather than trying to develop it yourself.
    4. You should hire us.

  11. Re:Exchange Support? on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    It wonder if your Exchange version is older than ours. Ours gives you a link at the bottom of each email related to a meeting that when clicked on cranks up the Outlook Web Access (OWA) calendar. You can create meeings via OWA, but it is much harder then just cranking up Outlook. I usually leave Outlook running in the background so that meeting announcements and such works, and in case I need to set up a meeting. Of course, a tip that has worked for a long time is if you get an e-mail with the telltale meeting strings in it (~*~*~*~*~*~*), then just copy it to your Calendar folder and it will get put onto your calendar.
