Okay I just use my Linux Gnome GUI to drag 'n drop (copy/paste) to up/download from the (linux) server, but I can understand why such a useful utility earns such a prominent spot here at Slashdot. Good news for nerds to know about, although redundant for many.
No, Meego-partner Intel should buy WebOS and use what it can to prop up Meego, to replace what Nokia dropped. Intel should also support the Qt development environment, for all the same reasons.
I could see Intel distributing/supporting Meego on various phones/tablets/netbooks in this regard and enjoying similar success, just as Google has done.
The only reason Intel wouldn't do that would be not to piss off Microsoft, but Microsoft is less relevant in the mobile space and Intel wants to be there. Hey, its almost 2012 folks, not 1990.
TFA discusses PCI DSS, etc. and I proposed an open-source DropBox alternative on/. SparkleShare might not yet work on Mac OSX Lion, but it does work on Mac OSX Snow Leopard (not the latest OSX version I'll grant you but still).
Since when does being PCI DSS compliant and mass-market user-acceptance become a mutual requirement? Frankly, I find avoiding mass-market OSs and software to be strategically more secure and thus desirable for PCI DSS infrastructures. Spear-phishing is less likely to function 'technically', by not using common-denominator stuff.
SparkleShare is a free open-source Dropbox-like GUI for GIT repos. Once setup using passwordless PGP keys, non-technical users see and use SparkleShare exactly as they would DropBox. While under the hood is tried-and-true GIT source code version control. You can even set it up as PCI DSS since it only uses your own infrastructure.
On Ubuntu I also installed Rabbit VCS which gave me a range of right-click GIT options (like check-in, merge, etc.) Seriously, I failed earlier attempts setting up either Bazaar or GIT, whereas trying to get SparkleShare setup I finally succeeded and wow, this is a seriously cool project.
Yes, this is exactly what I mean. Check out the VMware specs. to double-check (always) but I saw this week Converter v5 was released late September, and that's the way it works.
Another tip semi-related is.vmdk disks (without 'tools' or 'additions' installed) can be mixed and matched between both VMware and VirtualBox. (Otherwise VirtualBox defaults to.vdi format; but it supports both and I can attest to it myself).
That has worked well for me too. Here's also another variant I prefer to use:
Backup Windows using Acronis True Image Home v10 or v11 (not to be confused with Acronis True Image Home 2011). Save as native Acronis.tlb image file, and VMware Converter will read this backup file and spit out a VM with VMware-tools already installed; (if you want that like I do).
On the other hand, your Linux computer will probably be fucked if you turn it off in the middle of an important update.
Try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
At least that's always worked for me when I need it to, should power fail, etc. Not to mention ext3/ext4 journaling seems much nicer than using NTFS and having to fallback to CHKDSK when such issues arise, (along with the occasional pre-emptive NTFS defrag).
Personally I find the overall cost of Windows as being too costly to use in my business.
In the last few weeks I bought an Asus P868-V Pro motherboard which utilizes Intel's Smart Response Technology (SRT). SRT promises to be a hybrid technology which affords the best of both worlds. Essentially a 20gb or 40gb SSD acts as a sort of high-speed cache, via RAID technology, alongside its associated SATA magnetic disk drive. Intel is promising the speed of an SSD with the storage capacity of a regular magentic drive, at low cost. It all sounds really cool and I hope to use it one day, but I don't know when. The only OS that supports SRT is Windows 7 so far as I can tell, and I'm a web developer that uses Ubuntu.
Given these stats, I agree with the poster who earlier suggested you use dd-wrt as the firmware solution, flashed onto relatively cheap commodity routers. Via the dd-wrt shop are some 'exotic' APs, with weather housing, etc. Most importantly is the router database of supported commodity units. Basically you configure as many as needed to achieve saturation, spreading channels, etc. Using modern routers with dual-frequencies, N, and what have you; it should not cost much, and these units might just drop in to replace your current APs at their current location. Each unit can be 'remotely' managed via a web-interface, on your hotel LAN. They also show real-time signal graphs, with channels, for further placement refining; also via the http/s gui.
DD-wrt is a linux server on cheap wifi hardware, and the wiki is very good. I've never had to create a mesh network, but everything else I've done with dd-wrt has gone extremely well. Note that if you configure one, perhaps from manufacturer X... you can easily backup the config file, and apply that to dd-wrt router Y from another manufacturer, which saves a lot of setup time, errors, etc.
Thank you for clarifying the issue so precisely, with a clear fact that I failed to do.
I'd like to add, it isn't like these rural folks losing their radio have affordable internet bandwidth to replace their terrestrial radio waves with streams either.
That's a whole other issue that needs to be addressed; and the private sector isn't exactly stepping up to the plate there. So do we make it a matter of policy to discourage rural economies by removing information and communications services? This seems to be the result of the politics motivating this particular change.
To back up what I said about the pain felt by small rural radio stations, “The truth about the NPR issue is that zeroing out the funding for CPB will only hurt public broadcasting stations, not NPR. NPR charges us for programming and will continue to do so regardless of our budget issues,” said Ferro. “The real hit will be absorbed by local stations like KCRW who employ local people and have an important relationship with local communities.”
Special interest groups own Washington. Consistent, open data and an informed public are usually at odds with these special interest groups. It was a milestone to get these initiatives started in the first place, but in this climate? I mean, NPR got cut, and while that might not sound like much, decent radio as we know it just DIED across most of rural America; and its the radio that often tied whole communities together.
There's a reason America has the best government money can buy.
No one should be immune to cuts. But should such information programs be killed off with nothing to replace them with? If nothing else, such websites help dispute so much of the opinionated pundit talk that Fox 'News' airs for hours and hours during Prime Time. There's those medical Death Squad panels you hear about, looking to save money by cutting medical support for old people, and then there's the facts.

Good luck with that. Backups are sort of like buying fire insurance aren't they? They seem like a separate service to purchase, aside from ftp hosting. Like in case something inane occurs, like for when the ftp-hosting ISP's cheap labor (allegedly) effects disks with circumstances of disgruntlement.
In Jeddah at the airport, where the Haddjis land and depart during their pilgrimage to Meccah, Saudi Arabia has erected large shade structures that seems relatively efficient and effective, all things considered. And they've already proven themselves for a loooong time already.
Here's my (not fully tested) solution to watching NetFlix using my favorite, cheap Ubuntu NetBook as well as my Nokia N95, via UPnP. These are my current plans actually.
Perhaps your requirement is for non-US NetFlix access, so it should be possible to SSH to a US-based DD-WRT router serving as a proxy. I sold my older Asus Eee and am now waiting for the newer dual-core 1015PEM to be released, and it comes with Windows 7 Starter.
http://www.playon.tv/playonPlayOn is a Windows-based proxy for streaming NetFlix, etc. as UPnP; and costs about $30. I plan to use Acronis True Image to move the Windows 7 to a Virtual Machine environment (VirtualBox these days), and install PlayOn there. Also I'll install Bitvise Tunnelier so I can re-direct the Windows ports to use the SSH-connected US router/proxy.
I'll also use the Ubuntu Alternate installer, to fully-encrypt the Asus hard disk during installation. Then I'll add the netbook interface options select 'Ubuntu Netbook' from Synaptec's 'Mark Packages by Task' option. OR, I might test the newly released Meego Netbook 1.1 from last week.
Huh? When did you try to run a Symbian SDK on Linux last? I am running QT Creator 1.3.83 on a 3 year old, 300 euro Compaq Presario C700 w/ 2Gb RAM, using 32bit Ubuntu 10.10; and it runs great.
-> If they could finally get a Symbian SDK working on linux I would jump on it immediately.
The real question is the delta-v required to make the trip, including navigation along the way and corrections that must be made due to the impossibility of accurately calculating everything ahead of time. The minimal delta-v solution may indeed be around 180,000 years in duration

Girls looking for guys might consider taking up golf in a big way. What? Spend some serious time taking lessons with a pro to learn the game. Take it as seriously as everyone else doing it. Just get into golf and have fun with it. Then request Saturday morning tee-times as a solo player, etc. If she's got the right attitude about golf, chances are she's walking around the park with 3 guys with good jobs for a few hours. Maybe with drinks too.
I don't understand why more women don't understand and do this, a lot. I would. I wonder what the opposite of this is? (That I can deal with. Quilting ain't gonna cut it for me.) Actually, maybe yoga qualifies as do-able along these lines.
I'd get into golf again too if I could. I just liked being outdoors on the grass under the warm Day Star mostly; but that's another story.
