  1. "Louis left Cuil in the Fail" on Second Prototype of the $200 Open Source Tablet · · Score: 1

    oh wait. thats Fall. same thing. :)

  2. Re:Yeah OK on Does 802.11n Spell the 'End of Ethernet'? · · Score: 1

    isn't that what they said about cellphones too? I expect wireless will beat wired, but not just yet..

  3. USSA on Congress Considers Forcing Travel Registration · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, this was a requirement for visiting the old communist countries, wasn't it? And that was the differentiating factor between the 'free' countries and the rest of the world. Whats next? Secret police and wiretaps without warrants? Prison sentences without trial? Gulags? oh wait..

  4. Re:Laptop committment as well on Huge Linux Desktop Deals Get HP Thinking · · Score: 1

    I've got fc6.x86_64 running on my dv6110 for a while. the latest fc6 kernels seem to be very stable, and i don't have to use the 'noapic' kernel option anymore. I couldn't install/ update without this of course.
    nvidia proprietory drivers and ndiswrapper for wlan gives me everything i need now.

  5. apt-get is your friend on Upgrading to Ubuntu Edgy Eft a "Nightmare" · · Score: 1

    I had the same issue as quite a few people have mentioned - I ran gksu 'update-manager -c' - the installer tried to remove /usr/X11R6/bin to make it a symlink, couldn't, borked and died. I removed the files in /usr/X11R6/bin (tora) and then recontinued the upgrade with apt-get -f install as the borked upgrade suggested. Worked like a charm, everything came up fine after the install, including my nvidia card (yeah, with the binary driver) Edgy is faster than dapper, and so far its stable. Maybe I was just lucky :)

  6. Re:Toad Killer on Oracle SQL Developer Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    > TORA Is alive and well - tora.sourceforge.net - its now completely gpl'ed and binary builds are available for windows and a number of linux distributions Disclaimer: I'm one of the 'new' maintainers of TORA:)

  7. Paper's next on Copyright Bill could Stifle Innovation · · Score: 1

    since you could theoretically use it to reproduce books, and we all know they're copyright. keyboards come next, then pens, then the whole world goes back to pre-cave man days, because even the cave men had their charcoal paintings..

  8. Where can I get this autodialler script for linux? on Telus Puts A Stop To 'Modem Hijacking' · · Score: 5, Funny

    amazing. I never thought anything would do that on my toshiba laptop running linux. It was hard enough setting up any kind of dialling on the linmodem, if those scripts would have set up my modem for me and dialed a number, I would have gladly paid for it :)

  9. Who's the analyst?? on Smart Systems Threaten More Jobs Than Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    AdTI?

  10. Re:Power Requirements on Rack Mounted PCs for the Home User? · · Score: 1

    Really? its the first I've heard of this - most of my computer and audio equipment can run on either.. wonder which side of the pond will it 'wear out' faster on??!!
    pure baloney.
