  1. Lame

  2. Speculative execution... on Mozilla Tests Firefox 'Tab Warming' (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... what could possibly go wrong?

  3. Re:I hope they put in an external antenna port on The $5 Onion Omega2 Gives Raspberry Pi a Run For Its Money (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    Fun factoid: the Curiosity Mars rover has 256 Megabytes of RAM and 2 Gigabytes of FLASH.

    I'm sure people will be able to come up with a lot of interesting uses for one of these units.

    1) Roving around Mars, satisfying curiosity.

    2) ?

    It's how a Domino's pizza delivery van

    "how" -> "now", (brown cow?)

  5. Re:Also, digital sucks. on Hearing Aid Business Under Pressure From Consumer Electronics · · Score: 1

    ...and keep your ear(s) warm.

  6. Re:good news, bad news on NASA: Top 10 Space Junk Missions (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    a megashitton (aka kilofuckload)

    Metric or imperial?

    Base 2 or base 10 ?

  7. Re:Theres one technical point on Tim Berners-Lee Is Sorry About the Slashes · · Score: 1

    How about a different scheme to specify the port?

    Like a double slash? :)

  8. Re:Background Task Limitations and Battery Life on iPhone's Development Limitations Could Hurt It In the Long Run · · Score: 1

    One last point: users don't know which app is draining all of their battery power. Once apps become available, users may well install several all at once. If their battery life suddenly went to hell, it would be a difficult process of trial and error to figure out which app(s) was/were the culprit(s). Maybe the operating system could keep track of which applications were requesting operations likely to drain the battery - could each API call have a "battery cost" associated with it?
  9. Not just "unheard of"... on Microsoft Cuts Vista Price In 70 Countries · · Score: 1

    ...but "very unheard of".

  10. Re:Bullseye on Spamming Google Maps · · Score: 1

    I guess having a bullseye helps when you are the one designating the target. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_designation

  11. My eyes! The goggles do nothing! on US Military Tests Non-Lethal Heat Ray · · Score: 1

    Oh, actually the goggles help quite a bit.

  12. Re:waiting on Pluto Making a Comeback · · Score: 1

    OK, so we make the definition of a major planet be "(radius > 1000km) && (nice name)" and let Pluto in the club. Now that that's sorted, who wants an orange whip?

  13. Separated at birth? on The Story of Tron · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is it just me, or does Tronguy look quite a lot like Ned Flanders at a fancy dress? "Yes indeed-e, tron-a-roony."

  14. Re:What luck... on Solutions for Small Business VoIP? · · Score: 1

    You could keep your existing desk phones using a handset gateway from http://www.citel.com/ - this converts the proprietary signalling of the desk phones to SIP, so you could then get "Asterisk in the mix" if you so desire.

  15. Re:Implementation in languages? on Protothreads and Other Wicked C Tricks · · Score: 1

    Ah! There you are - I knew there was at least 1 other person who had heard of it :)

  16. Re:For crying out loud... on Brute Force · · Score: 1

    AC> "No, it's not. I is correct." Surely that should be "No, it's not. I am correct." ?

  17. Obligatory 2001 quote... on SALT Telescope First Light · · Score: 2, Funny

    "My god, it's full of sta...@~0-tw$%^&e" Hmmm, server must be down.

  18. Invisible to the average user... on The Floating PowerBook · · Score: 1

    Nothing to see here, please move on :)

  19. All your documents belong to us on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 1

    Hmm, no longer My Documents... Is this a tacit admission that Longhorn user permissions can be circumvented?

  20. Re:"Anonymous" Users on FCC to Push VoIP 911 Requirements · · Score: 1

    I doubt you'd get far (or rather, I doubt that you'd get any responses) - that's a multicast MAC address (LSB of 1st byte is '1').

  21. Re:Not for all... on Businesses Discover Skype · · Score: 1

    True. The "price of replacing the phones" can be rather costly, but you could use something like the boxes from http://www.citel.com/ that let you keep the PBX phones and talk SIP to e.g. Asterisk.

  22. Re:The system is only a part of the cost on Start Your Own Open Source-Based Telecom · · Score: 1
    "> However, the biggest single cost of all ... was replacing phones"

    Would one of the handset gateway solutions from Citel Technologies http://www.citel.com/ have been suitable?

    These handset gateways allow you to keep your investment in TDM PBX phones (Norstar, Meridian, Definity, Dterm, ...) but interfaces them to SIP networks.

  23. Re:We looked into VoIP... on Will VoIP Kill the PBX? · · Score: 1

    Oops! I forgot to say (if you are still reading this thread) to contact Rebecca O'Neil... sales@citel.com
