Comment Re:fvwm+gnome panel+conky (Score 1) 357

I'm with you, more or less. I've used them all. I remember being very productive with pwm about a decade ago. I use Mac OS X at home, but at work, Linux, and I've settled into a nice configuration of fvwm, mostly emulating Xmonad by way of keybindings, with a little xmobar at the top of the screen. It took a small amount of scripting to get the current window title up there and the current "workspace" but now everything is put together and seems to be working well and I'm very seldom tempted to run back to KDE or GNOME.

Comment Somebody gonna get Sued! (Score 1) 197

if I were lightsquared, I'd be hiring lawyers and start sueing GPS manufacturers. From the sound of it, those manufacturers are stepping all over lightsquared's (very expensive) spectrum. This is a physical, limited, resource and GPS manufacturers are both using it and preventing lightsquared (the rightful owners) from using it. Lightsquared needs to start asking for daily damages until the GPS manufacturers start doing proper filtering of their receivers.

Along with that, I honestly want lightsquared to succeed. I think the only hope for the US wireless market is the kind of use-agnostic bandwidth that lightsquared, clearwire, and sprint are pushing. Otherwise, AT&T and Verizon are simply going to lay siege to Sprint, TMobile and any small carriers until we have a duapoly.

Comment It's Broke (Score 1) 839

How can anyone say TV isn't broken? There's a HUGE market for helping people consume video content, on TVs, computers, and about everything else possible.

TVs either need to go one of two ways:
  1. Become just a screen. An HDM input and maybe a bad speaker and thats it. Accept that TVs are bad at dealing with the content.
  2. Applize. Make the TV very good at handling the content. Finding it. Argregating it. Sharing it. Etc.

I'm personally for #1. Lets stop kidding ourselves that the TV is ever going to be good at content. Give me a good screen with an HDMI in and I'll handle producing the content for it.
