    when I was working in china last year I just ran phproxy on a website and connected through that.
    I have since moved to running phproxy through ssl as this also allows me to bypass netnanny software like webmarshall on the company servers.( not sure why slashdot is blocked by webmarshall )

  10. Re:Another alternative on Google Maps GPS Simulator · · Score: 1

    I have a nokia 6110 navigator with built in GPS - it came with tomtom but its maps were pretty crap for Thailand. I installed nokia maps from smart2go and they are much better , they even have some roads marked for me in the back of beyond Laos where I am now.
    what I would like is a symbian app to allow me to use my phones gps as a bluetooth gps to connect to my handheld ( axim x50v )or laptop . there seem to be a few symbian apps around that allow me to use my phone as a data logger and then allow me to export the file into google earth and view my route - cool

  14. Re:I believe it. on Research Indicates Beijing Is World Virus Capital · · Score: 1

    I just finished working in china and had quite a few laptops brought to me with problems brought about by trojans and virus' . the thing I noticed was many of the issues were Chinese made for Chinese systems as many of the processes when searched for in Google had no English language results , only Chinese. I believe the main attack vectors are through IE and the official tencent QQ chat client , and the worrying thing was the last 2 laptops had rootkits installed which seemed to be a recent trend. expect to see a lot of Chinese botnets in the future as computer uptake increases.

    though if you are buying in bulk and can book your usage ahead of time you are normally entitled to some sort of discount. but if there was gas available maybe google should be told to acquire a couple of 15 Meg Gas Turbines and sell any excess back to the state grid.

  18. GPS in Mobile Phones on GeoTagger Adds Positioning Info to Snapshots · · Score: 1

    I thought GPS's were to be embeded into mobile phones for security reasons in the USofA. from there is would be and easy task to have some software to metadata the GPS info into any photos that the camera takes. Then MMS/GPRS the photos you wish to share to where ever.

  23. Flotation - For the separation of mixtures on The Power of Accidental Discoveries · · Score: 4, Interesting
    from Wikipedia

    [i]is a method for the separation of mixtures. Flotation is a separation technique used widely in the minerals industry, for paper, de-inking, and water treatment amongst others. It can also be used in the food and coal industries. The technique relies upon differences in the surface properties of different particles to separate them. The particles that are to be floated are rendered hydrophobic by the addition of the appropriate chemicals. Air is then bubbled through the mixture and the desired particles become attached to the small air bubbles and move to the surface where they accumulate as a froth and are collected, or if the non-desired particles float to the surface they are collected and discarded. The flotation process was developed on a commercial scale early in the 20th century at Broken Hill in Australia and is widely used for processing of sulphide minerals (copper, lead, zinc, nickel, cobalt etc...).[/i]

    The anecdotal story I heard was the chief metalurgists wife was washing his work clothes and commented on the shiny qualities of the bubbles.
