  1. Re:Wasted Effort on Microsoft Says Not All Ad Clicks Are Created Equal · · Score: 1

    Will the tool track eye movements, too? Because that's the only reliable way to know whether an ad was actually viewed.

    It seems the most measurable thing is the click. How do you measure impressions?

  2. range on Generate AM Radio Broadcasts With Your Monitor · · Score: 1

    I got this to run with little difficulty.

    Using my FT-817 with its 6m/50MHz antenna, Eliza at 50 MHz could be heard at least 15 feet from the side and front of my monitor. I would try the range in other directions, but I don't have room!

    I was wondering why amateur radio reception was so poor in the dorm, and now I know why.

  3. support on Red Hat Proposes Alternative Settlement To MSFT · · Score: 1

    As far as I can tell, Red Hat has the infrastructure to provide something akin to support to many people. Does FreeBSD have this? I don't think so. Besides, what does FreeBSD have over OpenBSD? Not security.

  4. Re:Putting the cart before the horse again on Red Hat Proposes Alternative Settlement To MSFT · · Score: 1

    We were somehow educated before the advent of the computer. If these new Linux machines don't have the latest whiz-bang features, maybe they will be less distracting from the three R's.

  5. Re:Pretty Print on HP Plans The Uber-Calculator · · Score: 1

    Check out the stats on HPs 49G. It has the option to display in 'textbook mode', much like the TI-89/92. Of course the advantage will always be to the company who has access to (and uses) the latest greatest technology.

  6. typical work setting on Where Can One Find Computer Related Charity Work? · · Score: 1

    While mentoring a knowledge-thirsty individual is an admirable goal, is teaching the only kind of work that can be done for charity and public good? Improving someone's quality of life through education is certainly positive work done, but teaching for the sake of teaching seems ciruitous.

    What needy/non-profit projects need trained professionals?
    Can an IT worker improve the world in a typical job setting?
