    thanks for this very informative posting

  3. Re:don't bring a UPS with you on Rack Mounted PCs for the Home User? · · Score: 1

    Anyway power outages in Germany are veeery seldom (my APC at my server only had one in the whole year 2003).

  4. Re:Privacy a problem in many places including Cana on Suicide Caught on Surveillance Tape Appears Online · · Score: 1

    The only effect is that these crimes are now committed in another district. So if you wouldn't put up any cameras at all, it would have the same effect on criminality rate.

  5. Smart Tags on New Online Advertising Model Riles Journalists · · Score: 1

    Sounds somehow like the SmartTags Microsoft introduced (also SmartTags aren't about ads only *g*)

  7. i was really suprised on Your Future Car's Hood Will Be Welded Shut · · Score: 1

    my father has some of there new cars (or in Europe this "feature" is somewhat new): The car now beeped after 2000km every time you started the engine you should go to the car service and displayed this message on a display. I was almost surprised the car didn't go off after another 50km :). Anyway after some argumentation of about 15 minutes ("you will lose your guaranty"; "what if something is really wrong, etc.", btw this car almost detects everything thats broken *g*), they turned the km and driving minutes to 0 again. what i found impressing btw when the car showed it needed some service, it already detected that there must be something wrong with the coping of the third cylinder. Anyway what i found bad, you already needed to go to service 4 times in 2 yours! Also this is within guaranty time, somewhat older cars didn't get such easiley broken.

    Someone knows, which company switches all the 1000s of PCs to Linux?
