Comment Why ditch the mics? (Score 1) 85

If the current mics are giving you decent audio, it would be way simpler just to either connect them to the sound in on an existing computer, or if there isn't already going to be something always on, you could set up a plug computer which could easily upload the recordings, or perhaps even host them its self. Something like the SheevaPlug should be more than enough.

Submission + - Hasbro Claims IP Rights for Nations' Borders (google.com) 1

JTech452 writes: Hasbro is threatening legal action against Mario Ferrari, maker of the free "TurboRisk" (Now TurboRSC). TurboRisk is an excellent pc rendition of the classic risk, with lots of additional options. While trademark infringement of the name "RISK" is obvious, and was corrected by swapping to TurboRSC, Hasbro has gone so far as to claim rights to world map borders and territory connections. Surely a company can't claim IP (Intellectual Property) rights in how real nations border eachother and connect (Other than, perhaps, the made-up over-the-ocean connections). There are some differences in the TurboRisk, Hasbro Risk, and actual world map from that era. How different from the world map must the Hasbro map be for Hasbro to have IP rights? How different from the Hasbro map must the TurboRisk map be to be safe from litigation? By the way, if you like risk, TurboRSC is by far the best option for PC.

Submission + - Blekko Launches a Search Engine with Bias (cnet.com)

Pickens writes: "Previous specialized search engines including Cuil, Hakia, Powerset, Clusty, and RedZ--each had a special trick, but they've all faded from memory, some after crashing in flames, some after making their founders rich. Now Rafe Needleman reports in Cnet that along comes Blekko whose claim to fame is that you can tilt your search results in the direction you like by using a category of bias, like "liberal" or "conservative." Categorization lists are applied by appending a "slashtag." The query, "climate change /conservative" will give you politically slanted results, for example. "Climate change /science" will restrict your results to hits from scientific Web sites. Blekko won't have a real, Web-wide impact unless its concept--that bias is good and more aggressive search filtering is needed --gets some traction writes Needleman but "Blekko is a solid alternative to Google and Bing for anyone, and more importantly it's got great potential for researchers, librarians, journalists, or anyone who's willing to put some work into how their search engine functions in order to get better results.""
