Do we have a "0860 CA LL MS" number that the user of his chosen environment can contact in time of need?
No, but what we do have are a lot of "STFU and RTFM, n00b"-Experts, who are hurting adoption a great deal...
Submission + - Skype blames Microsoft Patch Tuesday for Outage (skype.com)
brajesh writes: "Skype has blamed its outage over the last week on Microsoft's Patch Tuesday. FTA — "The abnormally high number of restarts affected Skype's network resources. This caused a flood of log-in requests, which, combined with the lack of peer-to-peer network resources, prompted a chain reaction that had a critical impact."
Previsously, it was speculated that Skype outage may have been caused by a Russian hack attempt. Further FTA- "The issue has now been identified explicitly within Skype. We can confirm categorically that no malicious activities were attributed or that our users' security was not, at any point, at risk."
Butterfly effect?"
Submission + - University taps sewers for Internet access
Stony Stevenson writes: A web connection via the toilet bowl may sound like Google's most recent April Fool, but the University of Aberdeen plans to welcome students back with a high bandwidth internet network connected via the sewers.
The university tapped H2O Networks to provide a high capacity link for the next 10 years, enabling students to access the internet from their halls of residence. H2O Networks is a deploying dark fibre in the UK's waste water network to enable connectivity to those who have limited access. The network is known as 'fibre via the sewer'.

Submission + - Size matters. Zooming images by recreating details (reshade.com)
subpicu writes: "New technology has been developed at reshade.com that recreates details when enlarging images. This is the first application of reshading to the field of image processing. The algorithm combines many existing technologies in several fields including artificial intelligence.
When enlarging an image the spectrum shifts to lower frequencies leaving out the high-pass part of the image (the sharp details). An adaptive filter is created that considers the full spectrum of texture details. Reshading reconstitutes higher frequencies from the existing cross-spectrum data, introducing highly local correlated novel details that were not part of the original. A comparison of standard technology (Photoshop) and reshading is given at: reshade.com/about"
Submission + - Release MainActor as Open Source software 1
esavard writes: MainConcept decided last year (2007) to discontinue maintenance and distribution of MainActor Video Editing Software. By signing this petition, we, Open Source enthusiasts and non-linear editors, ask that MainConcept release most source code (if not all) of MainActor as Open Source so that the community can continue to support and improve it.
