I found this webpage http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=22622a539146aeed&hl=en It describes how to set this up using Gizmo5 (no longer available for signup) with ether GVdialer(also no longer available) or Nimbuzz IM. Theoretically you could set up sipgate or another service to work just as well. This seems like the most cost effective option. You can keep your regular low cost phone on a low rate plan for when you're on the road.
It was weird, for a moment I thought I had written this post and forgotten about it. Used Ogg, ripped my entire library in it, ran Linux, loved it. 8 years later I'm running window on my laptop and my mp3 players have only about 10% Ogg. (I play the old Ogg files with Rockbox on my iPod)
Do you have usage rates from a prior date for comparison? All websites have their crowds (I bet Slashdot gets more than its fair share of minority browsers).
I was eager to see if this would automatically work, but none of it seems to. It seemed like a nice risk-free way to share files with friends and family. I also could not fine any real help on their support pages. Great potential, zero functionality at least for me. When it gets patched or the support pages get a little more helpful I'll try it again, until then I'm sticking with good ol' 3.5
Wouldn't it be great if Sun says OK lets open source under an almost exact copy of the GPL but list three companies that will not be able to redistribute the code without expressed written permission of Sun. I don't really even think it would violate the spirit of the GPL, and the community low-to-no-profit organizations would be able to dig their fingers into the technology, many of whom are the type to contribute code for that reason.
I know its not going to happen, but wouldn't it be nice?
oh damn your right, i kninda forgot about that because I downloaded both the Ubuntu Live CD and the Gnome Live cds, and couldnt find much diffrent. But that was back at early warty.
Debian still has a larger package base, more archs supported and a bit less complecated costomazations. Ubuntu is better for end users looking for an easy install. The only "distrobution" we have seen derive from Ubuntu is Kubuntu, and thats just an alternative set of packages for default installation, and I would not be surprised if this mostly remains the same. Debian as a distro base is tried and true. I feel this is like comparing ROCK with Gentoo, if less extreem
Lock some people in an adjacent biodome and start a cult for yourself. You can make some prophacy about how when they let you out in 1000 years they get a paradice of geekdome.
I had Just reached 1% of my email box used. Google I shall fill my inbox, and I wont use huge cheater attachments, with pure text I shall defy you! (and automatic slashdot emails help;)
"By sticking with Intel only, Dell is able to maintain the supplier simplicity that made it famous. It doesn't have to worry about AMD slip-ups or change its ordering systems to deal with new parts. Its allegiance to Intel no doubt also comes with pricing and marketing perks."
What do you think stays Dell's hand the most marketing perks or supplier simplicity?
>They worry about slowing things down etc. Part of the "etc." is the constant bombardment of distractions, as pointed out recently from the nytimes article http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/10/technology/circu its/10info.html?8cir (free regestration required and worth it)
but hey some people like to be destracted. I know I use my computer for dumb things like/.ing
"Since taking advantage of these new toys would require a new theme system, Havoc and I have been talking about how a very different theme / widget rendering system might work with this that allows for custom design of any window, widget, or anything in between."
Theme managers for Gnome seem to me to be just stabilise to stableize under hoary. I hope the flow of new features with a major revision to theme management won't break down the continuity of it.
Of all the major distributors of computers, Why does the one company that's reprehensible ethics absolutely requires complete abstinence from purchasing their products come out with Linux computers?
Slashdot Mirror
mod points are limited, one must use them on comments that truly annoy.

They've made a lot of great games, and they open source there older platforms. What more can you ask from a software company?
On a side note Quake Live is fun

Some feel that the N64 actually wasn't really 64 bits though http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/n64/ for instance and they were not even the first to make the claim as Atari had claimed that for the Jaguar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Jaguar
What do these things do? Emulate?
