  1. Multiple Remotes on Linux Powers Wireless Mesh Music System · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In order for this to work for me, I would need the ability to have multiple remotes on the system and be able to limit each remote to a specific room and/or set of rooms. This way, parents can control their rooms, and kids can control their's. Also, what would be nice is if two remotes are in the same room, one of them would take control and the other couldn't (for example if a kid and parent are in the same room, the parent would take control). Any idea if this is possible with Sonos?

  2. Re:Reported last month on World's Shortest P2P App: 15 Lines · · Score: 2, Informative

    Um, sorry but there are no ';' anywhere in the program. It's python, we don't need them unless we are stating multiple code "lines" in a single ASCII line. Perhaps you were referring to the commas, which were not specifying separate strings, but were instead specifying the list of modules to import. Do you not know how to read python code? Or would this seriously take one separate line for each module, thus showing Python is far superior in that aspect?

  9. Re:reinforcing stereotypes on Inside the Shadow Internet · · Score: 1

    The only reason these people use Linux is because they know its more secure than Windows. They know they can do things in Linux (such as mod the TCP stack in the kernel source to better hide their identity) that can better hide them from the feds. :-p Speaks to the security and customizability of Linux. :-p

  10. Such things as this could cause war. on Engineered Enhancers Closer Than You Think · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Gene Roddenberry predicted a war between enhanced humans and regular humans. Remember? Khan? And then there was another war like that later in the 21st century I think. Either way, both sides had significant casualties. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually happened, would you?

    Packages tend to contain binaries with set dependencies and features. Doing this you can easily include specific features and disable certain features in software. Also, this allows you to run a far more optimized and specialized distro.
