I'm specing out a personal project right now, and I've grown intrigued by the
prospects of doing some proper unit testing.
I'll admit to being overwhelmed by the number of cpp unit test frameworks, and
wanted to test drive something popular in dev land and attractive in
professional circles.

I've been intrigued by the prospects of low power computing for providing
essential network services at home. I had enquired about plug computers in the
past (say, am I just daft or is searching the mail archive impossible without
opening each archive individually). Applause to those that steere
It's not like anyone needed help figuring out that device drivers represent
some of the larger hurdles in setting up and operating any OS. Here's a nice
little look at the problem and some solutions in development.

#0 is priceless. Freeware vs crapware vs malware vs shareware. Your great
debunker with this one is skype, which is free, but (ethical issues of it's
recent reverse engineering aside) it is clearly not open source.
Thumbs up to that. Freedom isn't free!
#7 would be a curious myth, in that it'
who are not eggheads, hippies, or academics, are using it without
making a nod to those mythical ideals.

Forgive my prodding, but what are you building with this, Robert?
I'll admit to being totally ignorant of elgg and it's capabilities, but I've

It has hooks to github and gitorious, which are also free when what

My wife just purchased an android phone. It looks like a great little

There is a 6th gen beta for her phone, with most of the bugs worked out.
Version 1 should be coming shortly.
I have one "technical" hurdle to overcome, though.
Seems I'm having trouble with the very first step:

Robert, I went to the local department megastore and "cheaping out"
gives you nothing close to what you've spec'd here. Save $20 and you
lose gigEthernet. Save $20 and you lose dual band. You've spec'd one

long for the OOo crew (not Linux) to jump ship when Oracle got involved;
