  2. HSDPA ?? on First Tablet Using Pixel Qi Screen On The Way · · Score: 1

  5. Re:OpenVPN on Network Security While Traveling? · · Score: 1

    adjust your routing table to send everything to the gateway of your openVPN server

    I think the last few versions of Tomato VPN GUI firmware by Keith Moyer have had a checkbox to automatically provide this functionality for you when it pushes routes to the clients. I run the TomatoVPN on several wrt54gLs and think it is excellent

  6. Re:Deplete our Fresh Water supply? on The World's First Osmotic Power Plant · · Score: 1

  8. IP Cameras will usher in a new frontier on Chicago's Camera Network Is Everywhere · · Score: 1

    This explosion in the installation of IP cameras will continue as the technology matures , networks and bandwidth increase and hopefully the cameras become more open source with their embedded operating systems.

    This should be about efficiency , with all law enforcement cameras sending a stream to a large central system that can apply AI and identify faces , licience plates , clothing and even gaits . Public Buses , taxis , police vehicles , council vehicles also should all have cameras feeding live streams back so the central systems can maybe very quickly locate and track a person of interest. The video streams of systems in Hotels , public buildings , schools , universities , shopping centres etc should be able to be instantly requested by locality to emergency response teams so they can have live footage to base their decisions on.

    concerns about the misuse of video streams are valid , but I think software can watch the watchers and flag anomolies to be investigated for breaches.

    my shameless plug :) and admission of an interest in IP cameras will be to give you a link to http://www.linux-cam.com/ where I hope to be able to provide by the end of the year a very competitively priced IP camera platform with ARM 9 CPU with Linux firmware and common interfaces and an image processing chip capable of encoding to H264 of up to 1.3 megapixel 25fps CCD .

  9. Re:What's the Difference Between a Computer Salesm on Bad PC Sales Staff Exposed · · Score: 1

    my technique is boot from UBCD , choose HDD , Diagnosis , then choose the manuf tool - do a full check and then zero the drive.

    might take an extra hour , but gives you an idea if the whole job is worth doing.

  10. Re:But... on Nissan Gives Electric Cars Blade Runner Audio Effect · · Score: 1

    the voice recording for reversing alarms on chinese commercial vehicles is slightly humourous

    it is a woman saying something like " excuse me , I am reversing "

    I had thought about making a ring tone out of it

  11. Re:It's about goddamn time on Mexico Decriminalizes Small-Scale Drug Possession · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Any sane person desires less criminal activity.

    Isn't that the point ? if less activities are criminal , you should end up with less criminals

  12. Re:Faith is gone. We need a better way! on Three Indicted In Huge Identity/Data Breach · · Score: 1

    the main problem with SMS confirmation is when you are in another country

    my bank ( HSBC Sing )used to use SMS confirmation for transfers but now uses the dongle , but the SMS was a pain as I would have to call and change my number when I changed countries and sim cards.

    maybe a secure login from your phone via a wireless data link to receive a confirmation code - maybe have it interrogate the IMEI of your phone to authenticate the device - though the mobile computers with phone capabilities will be next in the firing line to be compromised.

  13. Re:Eastren Tx strikes again on US Court Tells Microsoft To Stop Selling Word · · Score: 2, Interesting

    part of the deal to file these patent suits should be having to go and live in that county - then they can be happy together in their own little alternate reality.
