  1. Re:I call shenanigans on Dark Days Ahead For Facebook and Google? · · Score: 1

    I think that the cute icons on google maps that appears on some business are not for free.
    Also the more people search in maps the more ads with geo extensions will worth.
    Or Zagat property.
    People used to say the same about search, there is no way to earn money out of it.
    I think the road to maps money is the same.

  2. WNDR3700v2 on Ask Slashdot: Best Flash-Friendly Router To Replace Aging WRT54GS? · · Score: 1

    Just because for installing this great firmware http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Wiki Kill the bufferfloat, and make your wifi faster and you can play with incredible mesh technologies.

  3. Re:Microsoft or Sun? No... on The Liberty Alliance Grows Again · · Score: 2, Informative
    The Liberty Specification does not dicatate any Language implementation. It is just a extension of SAML that is just a XML schema above SOAP with some XML-SEC message security. Nothing more fancy. I think that PingID has a .NET implementation.

    Any one can download the specs and do a client/server implementation just using apache projects. (Xerces, XML-SEC) and some DOM/servlets knowled to implement their
    protocol.

    Any how you can do it in c++/java/.NET or whatever languege you like.

  4. Re:Wow... to tell the truth I want lots of stuff on Nokia Takes Control of Symbian · · Score: 1

    The p800 is not a sony product is more an Ericsson product(like is the t68 that was branded as Ericsson phone before the SonyEricsson joint venture), I have in my hands two years ago one prototype of p800 without memory stick. The p900 is just only an evolution of it and it is still much Ericssonish.
    And Ericsson has invest a lot in symbian/epoc and the mobile is very attached to the symbian platform.
    To change it, sonyericsson will have to redisign a lot.
    So don't count a lot of a sonyericsson palm phone.

  5. Re:Uh oh on Meet Linux Kernel 2.6.2, 'Feisty Dunnart' · · Score: 5, Informative

    For those who dont know what a bluetooth SCO means: SCO stands for synchronous, connection-oriented and its mainly used for voice transport. (mono pcm 8bits 14Khz, if my memory serves me well, but can also be vocalic encoded). But can also be for other realtime relaible communications (video, signaling).

  6. Re:Miguel missing the point? on The Future of Java? · · Score: 1
    OpenOffice is written in C++. Like mozilla they were writting with cross-platform in mind. The only big opensource project that is done in Java is eclipse and it has some JNI(java native invocation a bridge between java and other native code) to speed up the GUI.


    I think swing is a very nice API but is still very slow(but i think it still has space to improve).

  7. Send all mutable data to a extarnal machine. on fsck-less Booting? · · Score: 1

    Why you don't create a readonly filesystem where all the binaries and static data resides. And send all the mutable data by socket(or a file in an nfs server).
    Other solution could be having a partition with static data readonly another one with all the mutable data readwrite. And modified the init scripts to check if there is any error that fsck unattainded cannot correct(or an pseudo-attainded one always responding yes), then recreate the filesystem. In this case you loose all the old info :(). But you assure the always on.

  8. The SmartCard reader is ITE chip on Building a Smart Card Based Linux System? · · Score: 3, Informative

    The smartcard reader is a ITE SuperIO chip and one of his chanels can work as SCR(Smart Card Reader). You can get the info how to do it from the company website(I think it is www.iteusa.com).
