  1. Re:Voice narration? on Review of Consumer-Friendly Linux Distro · · Score: 1

    From the recent article here at Slashdot, I believe the mobiBLU cube does act as a removable USB storage device, without needing special software. http://www.mobibluamerica.com/dah1500.html

  2. Re:Your influence is the number one thing on How To Balance Life And Technology For Kids? · · Score: 1

    I used computer to my advantage in the 2nd to 4th grades or so. We were required to do spelling lists, where we wrote out certain words and definitions. The same list was used for an entire week, with different variations on it. The teacher made the mistake of allowing them to be turned in typed. So, myself and another friend got smart and typed them in the long way on Monday, saved it, and printed whichever version was needed for the next morning. :-) Probably if I would've felt it was worth my time, I would've written a program to make the process even more efficient. It was a lot of fun growing up as a nerd, in a nerd family. :D

  3. Top quality on New Star Wars Movie From the Makers of 'Troops' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I downloaded the trailer and the first chapter a couple of weeks ago. They are top quality, and a must-see. I am anxiously awaiting chpater 2, and I'm not even that much of a Star Wars fan.

  4. Re:Recommendations: on Best Web Authoring Application? · · Score: 1

    AMEN!!!! I am a novice web designer and I have had one-too-many conversations with other beginners who roll their eyes when I mention HTML, and how they need to learn it. I use a GUI tool (won't say which, to avoid being mocked) to do most of the work, as it saves me a lot of time. I am not afraid to go hands-on with the code, and do any necessary programming.

  5. Re:lemme get this straight... on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 1

    I was pretty close to mentioning the same. ;-) Does this mean they are going to try to trademark "Computer" now??? :D

  6. Not a dumb question on Searching for Quailty A/V Carts? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This isn't a dumb question at all. A couple of months ago I was planning one of these out. I wanted a rackmounted computer/sound system for my church on a cart, so that I could move it anywhere in or out of the building, and still be setup quickly. I wanted to keep it closed, for better security. I also wanted to have a ventilation system, complete with a a temperature-controlled switch to turn on extra fans if the equipment gets too hot. I wanted to have a KVM so that someone could plug in a laptop if they needed to run the projector without having to know how everything in it works. Unfortunately, I lacked funding, so I never got to find out how my design would work.

  7. Try an AlphaSmart on A Cheap and Portable Word Processor? · · Score: 1

    It is really dumb, basically an intelligent keyboard that remembers what you type. When you get to a PC, you plug it into the PS/2 keyboard port and it types it all in for you.

  9. Re:It's a 30 years old problem actually. on Converting Users to Open Source- Why Do You Care? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It would help if you understood grammar and spelling as well.

  10. Re:Library of Congresses? on First 500 Terabytes Transmitted via LHCGlobal Grid · · Score: 1

    This seems to answer it pretty well: http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20020605.html

  11. Re:rural no dsl/cable option... on Homemade EVDO/WiFi Mobile Access Point · · Score: 1

    Ah! Add a signal-strength controlled motor, and have the antenna automatically point at the strongest signal while driving! That would be sweet! :)
