Don’t you just love geeks?

Casually searching my name in Google, like any other normal person would do, I bumped into a post of mine at a Mandrake Linux support forum from almost exactly seven years ago… Couldn’t help smiling…

Linux has come a long way, back then it was not as user friendly as it is now…

sound from cdrom ML91

Hello there.

I’m using ML91. I just tried to listen to a cd. KsCD starts up, sound is
at 50%, sound mixer is at 100% for CD, the track seems to be played
(counter works) but no sound comes out.

The audio cable is connected from the Creative PCDVD drive to CD-In of
Audigy2, but …

Otherwise, sound works fine.

Any ideas/hints?

Thanks,

Stratos

Quantum teleportation achieved over 16 km

Quantum teleportation achieved over 16 km.

(PhysOrg.com) — Scientists in China have succeeded in teleporting information between photons further than ever before. They transported quantum information over a free space distance of 16 km (10 miles), much further than the few hundred meters previously achieved, which brings us closer to transmitting information over long distances without the need for a traditional signal.

Quantum teleportation is not the same as the teleportation most of us know from science fiction, where an object (or person) in one place is “beamed up” to another place where a perfect copy is replicated. In quantum teleportation two photons or ions (for example) are entangled in such a way that when the of one is changed the state of the other also changes, as if the two were still connected. This enables to be teleported if one of the photons/ions is sent some distance away.

Apple’s new iPhone 4G prototype found in a bar!!

From Gizmodo.com website:

Quotes from the original article:

You are looking at Apple's next iPhone. It was found lost in a bar in Redwood City, camouflaged to look like an iPhone 3GS

and…

What's new

• Front-facing video chat camera
• Improved regular back-camera (the lens is quite noticeably larger than the iPhone 3GS)
• Camera flash
Micro-SIM instead of standard SIM (like the iPad)
• Improved display. It's unclear if it's the 960×640 display thrown around before—it certainly looks like it, with the "Connect to iTunes" screen displaying much higher resolution than on a 3GS.
• What looks to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation, at the top, next to the headphone jack
• Split buttons for volume
• Power, mute, and volume buttons are all metallic

What's changed

• The back is entirely flat, made of either glass (more likely) or ceramic or shiny plastic in order for the cell signal to poke through. Tapping on the back makes a more hollow and higher pitched sound compared to tapping on the glass on the front/screen, but that could just be the orientation of components inside making for a different sound
• An aluminum border going completely around the outside
• Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution)
• Everything is more squared off
• 3 grams heavier
• 16% Larger battery
• Internals components are shrunken, miniaturized and reduced to make room for the larger battery
