  1. Bluetooth modules for use with mobile robots on Bluetooth for Homebrew Robots? · · Score: 5, Informative
  2. CmdrTaco makes baby Jesus cry! on IPv4 Headers Investigated · · Score: 1

    Worst. April Fool's day. Ever.

  3. Cash Cow? on Ebay's Flexible Privacy Policy · · Score: 1

    I wonder how much Ebay charges "users" of this service?

  4. QoS? on VoIP for the Masses! · · Score: 1

    How can the latency not be a problem if my cable provider does not place high priority on my voice packets? I was under the impression that VoIP will *suck* (just like dialpad and net2phone) if you don't implement QoS.

  5. Check out flashchallenge.com on GUI Research - Is it Still Being Done? · · Score: 2

    Check out The Flash Challenge.

    It is a monthly contest of web sites that predominantly use flash.

    The interfaces on many of these web sites are not run-of-the-mill and most are truly inspirational.

  6. Mirror Please? on DivX Support Under Linux? · · Score: 1

    Can someone post a US mirror?

    Thanks..

  7. The Aqua will run LINUX on Crusoe WebPads By FIC · · Score: 2
    Straight from the cnet news story here: http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1006- 200-2026361.html

    "The Aqua, which should be ready for volume production by November, comes with a Transmeta Crusoe processor, a Linux OS and a Sony Memory Stick port, said Julia Kuo, a project manager for the company."

  8. Ideas for webpads? on Another Peep From Transmeta · · Score: 1

    I would love to install an X server on the webpad and use xterm to admin my box or program those CS projects from the comfort of, well, anywhere.. :) If the webpads do indeed run mobile linux, this should be really easy, right?

    Any other ideas?

  9. Pricing? on UPDATED: Transmeta's Crusoe Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Since these chips are smaller, etc.. Would that mean that they will be cheaper than Intel processors of similar speeds? It would kinda make sense in the case of the "web pad" where people might not want to spend more than a few hundred dollars.

    Does anyone know the estimated pricing of the processors?

  10. 1st Step Towards Retirement? on Gates Steps Down As CEO, Ballmer In · · Score: 1
    This announcement leads me to believe that Gates is on his way out very soon.

    Gradually 'de-moting' himself from power would help to ease the panic of investors. Just like in the AOL/Netscape merger, most Netscape execs were brought over to AOL and over time they left or went 'part-time.'

    I think that the DOJ case is just the breaking point (no pun intended) of Gate's decision to retire. He said in a recent interview that he "could see a world without Microsoft" making me think that Gates & Microsoft are running out of steam.

    Seeing that Microsoft missed to boat with WinCE and some Internet technologies is more evidence of an aging company & CEO. There is no more excitement about future Microsoft products. When Windows95 was to be released, I remember Best Buy demoing the os in stores. Now, I have no solid idea where Microsoft is going to go after Win2k is out.

    Anyways, just my .02

  11. WARNING: Re:Non-disclosure on How to Approach Venture Capital Firms? · · Score: 1

    A non-disclosure does not prevent someone from stealing your idea. It only gives you the right to sue that person if they steal your idea.

    All the dorms at Virginia Tech have ethernet and even most apartment complexes in the area have *ethernet*.
