  1. Where is file transfer and remote desktop control? on Gmail Video Chat Now Available On Linux · · Score: 1

    In the old days (yesterday) when I was using Empathy's Jabber/XMPP to do remote desktop control and file transfer, this was built in. Now how can I help gram-ma out?

  2. Empathy 2.27.5 supports Voice Video Remote Desktop on Licensing Dispute Threatens Future of Skype · · Score: 1

    I was just try out Ubuntu 9.10 pre release and it is all there under the Open Source Licence (GPL) I just blogged about it. www.amendt.blogspot.com

  3. Re:Can you geeks make up your minds? on Dell PCs with Ubuntu Are A Little Less Expensive · · Score: 1

    I also am overjoyed at being able to point people where to buy Linux pre-installed. Too bad we can't buy the Dell Inspiron E1505n in Canada.

  4. Re:keyboard shortcut for switching tabs in 2.0? on Managing Money With Linux Apps · · Score: 1

    Shift+Tab doesn't work here. Instead it brings you to the next hyperlink. http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GnuCash -We need to help

  5. Re:Modularization on EU And Microsoft Clash Over Vista Security · · Score: 2, Funny

    "We are the borg, we will assimilate you" If only the EU could stand up to Steve's hurling of chairs. :)

  6. Re:"Incredible is awfully vague." on Novell Releases SUSE Linux Enterprise RC3 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Having just gone through the process of installing the nVidia driver it does seem strange that that nVidia doesn't release a script so you don't have to go out of x (the graphical system) and then go back into the graphical system manually. I find Intel is doing a better job of 3d graphic suport. Too bad all the decent cards are nVidia or ATI. I guess a little pain for the long term gain. Also, with OSS other graphic card campanies can become main stream easier. Hang in there Linux users the I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

  7. Re:The kids are the winners here. --NOT on Microsoft, Massachusetts, and IT · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It is a bad thing if you want your kid to suceed in life and not just with M$ software (diploma). Giving your kid the ability to manipulate software helps your kid learn more because learning isn't subjected to "the Microsoft way of doing things". Long term sucess requires the source code (knowing how someone did that in the past).

  8. Re:Laptop support? on New Enterprise-Level Ubuntu Due This Week · · Score: 2, Informative

    I know suse 10.1 doesn't support the Broadcom 43xx :( , but if you go to kernel.org the latest stable release finnally supports it. It seems I have been jumping trying to get drivers, for the last few years know they are finally getting within reach.

  9. Re:Integration on What is the Best Calendar? · · Score: 1

    I made a test page at http://hythe.ca/events.html and it allows anyone to add the community supper this week to their google calendar. And everything exports from google calendar to my KOrganizer, so I am happy. P.S. If you want to come to our community supper you are welcome :)

  10. Re:How bout *Nix support for 'b' ??? on IEEE Developments in Wireless Networking · · Score: 1

    After installing opensuse 10.0 on my Acer Aspire 3500 notebook my wireless g version worked fine. Sure there is issues, but what OS doesn't. I think we are only 1 year away from wireless cards been support like ethernet cards are. Keep programming for the gnu gpl!

  11. In Canada we are left out in the cold M$ world. :( on Nokia 770 Alive and Well · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Having started to use Linux as my Desktop as well as for my servers I was looking forward to getting this device. This is what www.Nokia.ca told me. "Thank you for e-mailing the Nokia Care Contact Centre. We understand you are inquiring on where to purchase the Nokia 770 Internet tablet. Amendt, at this time, we cannot advise you as to whether the Nokia 770 Internet tablet will be released in Canada. We cannot provide information on products that have not been released in Canada. Nokia is continuously introducing new models to the Canadian market. We are unable to disclose technical information on products that have not been released and cannot be more specific with regard to who the service providers will be for new models"

  12. Re:It sounds like email on Kansas Anti-Creationism Professor Resigns · · Score: 1

    If you go sites like http://creationism.org/ or http://icr.org/ you will find more proof that we are living on a young earth rather than one that is 4.3 billion years old. A few evidences are: Lack of dust on the moon. Vegetation found on the south pole.
