  1. ThinkGeek better watch out... on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: 4, Funny

    A 25% tax on what the government calls pornography might impact sales. Be afraid, thinkgeek - you and your action shots.

  2. Notice: Your annual fee is past due on Death On Demand Drive Tech · · Score: 4, Interesting

  3. Nice, but the question is... on Electric Cars as Fast as Ferraris · · Score: 1

    Can it fly out of a 2nd story window in reverse at high enough speeds to land in trees some 20ft away?

  4. Google Web Accelerator on Google DNS Glitch Caused Outage · · Score: 4, Funny

    Last night, Google Web Accelerator was accelerating just fine... except for the fact that when I tried to make it proxy google.com it told me that the web site wasn't available, and to try search Google for the site. Needless to say, that didn't work either.

  5. To make a lot of money... on .net Domain Up For Grabs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just put the authority to the .net tld on ebay. This would raise millions, possibly billions for ICANN - as the new owner could take ownership of every single .net domain... or raise the price to very high levels. If panix.net thinks its situation is bad, what will they think when the new owner of the .net domain asks for $10000/year for a registration... Or makes google.net install spyware...

  6. Brings a whole new meaning to... on Robots in Medicine · · Score: 4, Funny

  7. The press on Groklaw Starts Unix/Linux History Project · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm curious to whether the Linux derivitive work(s) that SCO released and distributed in its own products will come out more in the press. Considering that this will be backed up with creditable resources, it could provide valuable insight for the press into "our side" of things. Big corporations have lots of nice looking graphs and reports to make things look rosy, but Linux really does not.

  8. Simple... on A Wireless Network for a 4-Story Apt. Building? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Just buy about 4 wireless routers. The linksys linux-based ones mentioned early today on slashdot are great. Whatever you do, DONOT GET BELKIN! They are based on a misconfigured Nucleus Plus kernel. They frequently crash, and have to be power cycled. In addition, many of them have a bug making them ONLY work with IE/windows. They fail with mozilla, konqueror, IE/mac, and safari because they append a character 0 (aka 0x00) at the end of a javascript file. I reported it to them and they shipped me another older version of the router, which works with mozilla but the wireless signal cuts out every 10 minutes. /rant

    Anyway, just hook them up at places throughout the building... in different people's rooms. These will form the main network that people will connect to. Their wireless card will automaticallly pick the closest one... just make sure they have the same SSID. Then, either connect the routers wirelessly or with wires. If you want to do them wirelessly, you'll need either a seperate wireless gateway or an additional router for each main router. These gateways will connect to your internet router.
