  1. Re:Geneweb on Best Open Source Genealogy Software? · · Score: 1

    I'm with Imabug on this one - I've been using geneweb since forever and haven't any complaints. It imports .ged files too (which seems to be the standard file format for genealogy sw), which is always a good thing.

  2. Re:Offline GPS? on Nokia To Make GPS Navigation Free On Smartphones · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Ubuntu Year.Month on The Amazing World of Software Version Numbers · · Score: 1

    I''d also imagine that it helps keep the milestones and deadlines firmly in focus ;-)

  4. Re:Nobody hired you? on 6 Reasons To License Software Under the (A/L)GPL · · Score: 1

    Scathing and accurate. I like,

  5. Re:Call me when phone GPS is any good on Standalone GPS Receivers Going the Way of the Dodo · · Score: 1

    You can also use the free and easy-to-update openstreetmap maps on tomtoms: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TomTom#Using_OSM_maps_with_TomToms

  6. Re:OpenStreetMap the future for local knowledge on Is Sat-Nav Destroying Local Knowledge? · · Score: 1

    Being lucky has nothing to do with it if you use OpenStreetMap. Sure you might initially drive down blank space on your GPS/map - but only the once if you upload your traces and data afterwards. If the map is wrong [say a road has been partially destroyed due to road upgrades] you can correct it.

    Don't have a GPS and want to join in the fun anyway? Using http://walking-papers.org/ will help - print out the map, draw in what needs to be added and either scan or *post* it and someone will add in that info for you.

  7. it's simple enough with linux on Sega Dreamcasts and LAN Access? · · Score: 1

    Get a linux box with enough serial ports, recompile the kernel with ip forwarding, and write up your chat file. chances are that you'll need to use bind to run an internal nameserver to give the dreamcasts a way to get ip numbers [cos they wont have host files].
    This is assuming of course that you can connect dreamcasts to serial ports.

  8. Hacking Cracking on Review: Code of Ethics for Programmers? · · Score: 1

    heh, they mumble on about ethics yet mention hacking anc cracking in the one sentence without making a distinction between the two. hi caramba
