  1. Re:Uh...you can do that now on Cellphone Use On Planes Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    I was actually told to turn off my mp3 player on approach because "its an electronic device". Really? Is the plane really that vulnerable?

  2. Re:Then the judge tells him how much he owes the M on CEO Shawn Hogan Takes on MPAA · · Score: 1

    IANAL either but the burden of proof lies upon the sueing party (MPAA), so they do have to "prove" their case.

  3. Insteon - X10 compatibliity on Is Insteon Better than X10 for Home Automation? · · Score: 1

    I have been installing Insteon products in my home and believe they are excellent products. I'm currently using x10 signaling instead of the Insteon since things like my alarm system only speak x10. The only problem I've encountered with the Insteon products is the signal absorbtion. X10 doesen't use ack's and I find the more switches I put in the less reliable the system becomes. Smarthome is currently working on a X10 to Insteon translator. Some of the beta models were sold last year. Once this product is available and mature I imagine things will be drastically improved since I'll switch over to Insteon as the primary communications protocol. As far as the Insteon protocol itself it seems to work great, but the only means I currently have of testing it is in linked switches (2,3,4 way switches etc.)

  4. Even if... on Near Light Speed Travel Possible After All? · · Score: 1

    we could do what this scientist proposes I think our biggest obstacle would be space debris. I know this is something each shuttle mission has to worry about. Even tiny objects can cause tremendous amounts of damage, given its speed.

  5. Re:Stupid Roomba on Roomba Vacuum Robot Opens to Hackers · · Score: 1

    Yet another more serious solution is Friendly Robotics product. I have a robomower by them which works great. Though the price tag on the vac is steep (but not far from the Tribobite).

  6. Re:Correct me if I am wrong on BBC Opens TV Listings For Remix · · Score: 1

    Answering 5 yes/no questions once every 3 months to get tv listings is hardly a reason to complain, IMO.

  7. Too many deja vu experiences on /. on Yahoo Releases Firefox Toolbar Beta · · Score: 2, Insightful
  8. Pretty pictures on Saving Lives with Design · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it would have been read if it had pretty pictures like The Pet Goat.

  9. I'm not much of a coffee drinker.. on We Pay Our Rent By Buying Coffee · · Score: 5, Funny

    its really a shame they don't have Wi-Fi at my local bar. Paying rent in beer sounds like a much better option.

  10. Re:If they really want to lobby for a law... on Software Firms Lobby for Stronger Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    When that happens I'm opening up my own ISP with no restrictions... anyone want to change providers? That being said this method sounds simular to most corporate firewalls, which can be easily defeated with HTTP tunneling programs. Also, though there may not currently be any p2p apps to circumvent this, how long before we see one if the ISP's start doing this?

  11. Re:Party like it's 2099 on 2004 MN4, Even Higher Probability · · Score: 0

    And if it hits Hanford or Yucca Mountain?

  12. Re:Don't use CBWFQ... on WAN/LAN/VoIP Training Other than Cisco? · · Score: 1

    LLQ (Low Latency Queueing) is also known as PQ-CBFWQ. Only difference is a keyword in the policy map.
