CommonCents writes "Samsung is demonstrating its prototype transparent OLED laptop. "When the thing is off, the panel is up to 40 percent transparent (as opposed to the industry average of below twenty-five percent)". I don't know about you but I think I would find that very annoying! Especially when people walk behind it and I am trying to work!"

Hosting control panel that supports NAT? 0

Submitted by rabbieaz on Sunday December 27 2009, @01:28AM

rabbieaz writes "I run a web hosting company in Australia and want to know if anyone is aware of a Linux hosting control panel that supports NAT ? I mean truly "supports" operation behind a NAT firewall? The only one that I can find that will work behind NAT is Plesk, and only if you manage / host the DNS on an external server with a public IP address. The reason I ask is because I want to build up a new network of VMWare clusters and want to run everything behind NAT so that I can have load balancers and absolute redundancy!"

An anonymous reader writes "Courtesy of Yahoo News: Some airlines were telling passengers on Saturday that new government security regulations prohibit them from leaving their seats beginning an hour before landing The regulations are a response to a suspected terrorism incident on Christmas Day. Air Canada said in a statement that new rules imposed by the Transportation Security Administration limit on-board activities by passengers and crew in U.S. airspace...Flight attendants on some domestic flights are informing passengers of similar rules. Passengers on a flight from New York to Tampa Saturday morning were also told they must remain in their seats and couldn't have items in their laps, including laptops and pillows.

I seriously thought this was an Onion article at first."
