  1. Re:Spamgourmet on Volunteering for OSS == Sign Up for Spam? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I second the recommendation. Excellent service.

    The same user name is good for multiple domains as well, i.e., slashdot.4.johndoe@spamgourmet.com would be interchangeable with slashdot.4.johndoe@neverbox.com. I don't remember the other domains off hand.

    If you don't like making a different address for each use, despammed.com has an effective filter and you can opt to forward it on to another address.

  3. Sisyphean pressure? on Open Source in Government: Newport News, Va. · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I tried to imagine exactly what this means but came up stone cold. It seems to be used in this sentence to mean something like "severe" rather than "repetitive", or "pointless", or "without end", or "in vain".

  4. Zaurus with tkcVox from theKompany on Using a Pocket Audio Recorder with Linux? · · Score: 1

    I got my 5500 for about $200 on ebay. www.theKompany.com offers a software program called tkcVox. From the site: # It's possible to record approximately 24 hours worth of non-stop speech onto a 128mb storage card. # Uses GMS-AMR codec to provide the highest quality of compressed speech. This is 3rd generation mobile telephony technology used for speech compression. It provides for high quality voice recording (depending on microphone) with a bitrate of 4.75 to 12.2 kbps for 1 hour of continuous speech recording in only 2-5mb of space. # Voice Activity Detection (VAD) and Comfort Noise Generation (CNG) algorithms optimizes the dead space when talking so that it takes almost zero storage space. http://www.thekompany.com/embedded/tkcvox/ The program costs a very reasonable 9.99. This will require an external microphone but this could turn out to be an advantage since you could do hands-free work. Also, if you had a mobile phone ear piece you could also use their tkcPhone to place telephone calls from your Zaurus via WiFi. Russell
