  1. Re:Brilliant on New OpenWRT Drops Support For Linux 2.4, Low-Mem Devices · · Score: 1

    OpenWRT is for your wireless router. For example, I have a BSD-based firewall on a server, but I also have a wireless router. OpenWRT or in my case dd-wrt runs on the wireless router and provides a great deal of extra and useful functionality. This is not about the firewall.

  2. Re:jargon decoding on CyanogenMod Drops ROM Manager In Favor of OTA Updates · · Score: 2

    If the camera isn't working in Cyanogenmod then it likely does not work in "stock." The camera issue is nearly always the result of proprietary drivers which are not available and have to be ported from somewhere else or otherwise created by the devs. From my personal experience Cyanogenmod does an excellent job. I am typing this on a G-Tablet running Cyanogenmod 7.2 and everything works, including the camera. Same with my Droid X. And yes, CM 7 is very much enhanced compared to the "stock " ROM that comes on the devices. If you are referring to the actual stock Android directly from Google then I will have to defer to you on that.

    I've been trying out Jitsi (formerly SIP Communicator) and it seems to be pretty good. I hope to be testing it more in the upcoming months. http://www.jitsi.org/

    I take that back. There are many, many. I just did a search in the Android Market for callmejack. Ouch!

  5. Re:WHAT app? on Android Data Stealing App Downloaded By Millions · · Score: 2, Informative

    There are several - they show up as, for example Naruto Wallpapers by callmejack. The dev's email is jackeey.wu@gmail.com. Most, if not all, appear to have gotten a comment from helpful souls indicating that they are malicious. The quickest way to find them might be a google search. ;-) Cheers.

  6. At least accepted . . . on Does Your College Or University Support Linux? · · Score: 1

    Not college, but my son just started at a private boarding school for high school. As part of registration we met with the IT staff to get logins and have his laptop checked out prior to use. When I told them that he is running Linux they were delighted and approved it without even looking at it. I asked if they needed to see it and they said that they only needed to see laptops running Windows as they were concerned with students' systems infecting their network. Technically, they don't support Linux, but they were more than happy to accept it.
