So both work as a mouse?
(Dane-Elec pen as well as a Yi Fang mobile notetaker)
How did u convert it to a svg file?

Yes, i also came across this one,
but realtime interaction (aka mouse alike) didn't seem possible,
i also contacted this vendor, with a negative answer to my requirements (linux, mouse, ..)

If it would work like a mouse..,
then this would hopefully also answer my question to make screencasts with it..
(math stuff); tnx

About digimemo:
u are suggesting http://digimemo.com/dp100.htm in combination with http://digimemo.com/l2.htm ?
Any idea which open source third party software that is needed then?

Yes, i agree partially as i am already using this solution from time to time,
just using a scanner voor my notes (without a good OCR available unfortunately)
The added value of having a digital pen would be to make screencast while using the pen.
Maybe i should have added this in the post.
Submission + - Digital Pens on Linux (wikipedia.org)
Gonzalez_S writes: There are many digital pens out there, but none of them seem to work on Linux; unless u combine them with a tablet? I have contacted many vendors (www.lifetrons.ch,www.dane-elec.fr,www.apenusa.com,intellipens.com,..) and only intellipen responded that there is a very limited support for linux. Do any of you know of a digital pen that works fine using Linux on normal paper? Some options to explore are: can the pen work realtime on my pcscreen, can it function as a mouse, can the pen work offline, do i need a tablet (preferable not)? So i would be happy if anyone shares his successtory here, as they seem a great tool..
Submission + - Ready for nanotech brains? IBM's nanotube breakthrough gets us closer Read more (venturebeat.com)
hessian writes: "IBM is announcing today that it has taken the first real steps toward commercial fabrication of carbon nanotubes on top of a silicon chip. The company has made transistors — the basic components of electronic computing — from nanometer-sized tubes of carbon and put 10,000 of them on top of a silicon chip using mainstream manufacturing processes.
“It’s like trying to line up spaghetti, and doing it where the lines are just six nanometers apart,” said Supratik Guha, director of physical sciences at IBM Research and a spokesman for the team that did the work, in an interview with VentureBeat. “The thickness is just one nanometer,” where a nanometer is a billionth of a meter.

Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Deny Hosts, on Steroids? (sourceforge.net) 3
Dan B. writes: "I run the IT at my company and recently — well, over the last couple of years — the level and sophistication of cyber attacks being levelled at our systems has gotten so bad I'm almost daily having to check various logs for new threats. I've got things like Deny Hosts helping to ban brute force attacks on services like SSH, but more recently I'm getting a lot of CRAM-MD5 authentication errors on the extrnal IMAP server. I've started adding persistent attack IPs to our firewall rules, but it is a real chore and so repetitive!
Does any one of my fellow nerds have a simple and open solution that can work in much the same was as Deny Hosts (checking fail messages in logs) and update a firewall level 'deny' list with a remote IP address and internal port to be blocked?"
