  1. Re:hmm on $99 Linux Handheld with WiFi for Instant Messaging · · Score: 1

    Wow, thanks... I've been suspecting it was overheating. Time to clean out the fan I suppose...

  2. Re:hmm on $99 Linux Handheld with WiFi for Instant Messaging · · Score: 1

    The thing only has a 90Mhz ARM, I don't think Skype would run too well on it. I've seen Skype use 40% - 50% CPU on my 3Ghz P4 laptop.

    Actually, I think Skype released or was planning to release Skype for the Zaurus, which did use an ARM...

    And another thing - there was no mention of a mic or mic input. So unless they hack that on too...

  3. Re:Recommendations for online backup solutions? on The Institute for Backup Trauma · · Score: 1

    He said he's using rsync.

    So, he's basically only transferring the CHANGES, not the whole works. I basically do this for 2 rented servers at work. It rsync's maybe 30-40 gigs of data over a 3Mb cable line in about 2-3 hours. Works great.

  4. It uses Crystal Space, so... on Planeshift Enters Open Testing · · Score: 1

    It runs on lots of OS's, including *nixes. They just don't have binaries for other OS's yet. Just give 'em some time.

  5. Re:how about any host that donates space to oss? on Looking to Move from EV1? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Oddly enough, EV1 themselves falls into this category. PHP.net's main site is hosted at EV1.

  6. The best way to stop a caffeine addiction... on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 1

    ...is to never start, of course!

    I've had about 3 coke cans worth of caffeine since Feb '03, when I was hospitalized with an atrial heart fibralation. Basically the doc said my computer geek lifestyle was to blame - no exercise, lots of caffeine, and very little sleep. While I still don't get any exercise, the other two are no longer a problem. I think my point is this - you just need the propper motivation, and a visit to the hospital with a heart problem was more than enough for me. :)

  7. Re:The agenda was nice but the Zaurus is useful on New Linux-based PDA due September · · Score: 1

    Huh? Do you have the same Zaurus as I do? My 5500 has an excellent screen. I consider it to be one of the Z's strengths, not a weakness.

    I do agree with your statement about the SL-5500 being crap compared to almost any other PDA - I consider my Zaurus to be a handheld computer, not a PDA. I love being able to code PyQt apps on the Zaurus itself and test the code right there on the Z anytime & anywhere I want. You can also do C/C++, Perl, and Java development. IMO, the Zaurus is the ultimate PDA-sized development tool.
