  4. GIMP and multiple screens on Instrumented GIMP To Identify Usability Flaws · · Score: 1


    IMHO, people should understand that the MDI way (that is, the "photoshop way of arranging the windows) was born under the assumption that you had only one screen to work with.

    But with X-window based virtual desktops, you just dedicate one of them to the Gimp. Check it, your Gimp experience will improve a lot!

    A mouse? A salamander? A cricket? A water flea? A volvox? A paramecium? Where is the cutoff point?

    A water flea? Has it.

    A volvox? Doesn't.

    A paramecium? Doesn't.

    The cutoff point is pretty clear for me.

    Wow, to add your site to publish they ask if it's or not over the million visits a month, a pretty high number if you ask me.

    If your web is more modest you'd better go with text link ads.

  13. Bazillions sold on 35 Million DSes Sold, 6 Million Wiis By End of March · · Score: 3, Insightful


    If PS3 has showed us a lesson, is that we need a new metric for "x millions sold" with game consoles, that is, "x millions sold minus y millions returned after being unable to sell them at ebay for a premium price".

    No, seriously, most PS3 were bought for reselling, while most wii's are bought for playing. And it, for me, it's a pretty big difference.

  17. Stupid on Malaysia to Use RFID Number Plates Next Year · · Score: 3, Insightful


    I work in a RFID related start-up and I can assure you that putting the RFID tags in the plates just doesn't make sense, is just like adding a control number to the plate... what you want to know is if the plates correspond to the car, not a second way of identifying the plates!!!

    They should add the tag into the inners of the car, so they can detect when a detected RFID value and the plate don't match. It's a lot more useful, IMHO.

    Also I found funny to see the specs of the RFID chips (tags, as we know them) of 100 meters and ten years of battery, are exactly the same as ours... it would be priceless to discover reading Slashdot that our American partners are doing extra hours without telling my boss!!!

  20. Assorted thoughts on the Fonera on Hacking the Free "La Fonera" Wireless Router · · Score: 3, Interesting


    First at all, it isn't called "La Fonera". "La" in Spanish is just the "The" article, making it the Fonera, a Fonera, or how you want to call it.

    It is free too here in Spain, but obtaining it's a really strange scheme that looks a lot like a scam to get private info from people. For example, it was offered for free for the readers of a well known digg-like web and they recommended to use the same user and password to request it as the people had in the web page?! WTF!? And a month later they bought part of the page!!!!

    Extremely strange.

    And what to say of the Fonera using hidden DNS servers property of the FON makers or scripts allowing free access for them with root privileges to your private network?
