Linux-friendly bluetooth dongle?
by Kendric Beachey 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

This month's Linux Journal has an article about making your computer auto-lock when you leave your desk, and auto-unlock when you return, by sensing the leaving/returning of the bluetooth phone in your pocket. (You DO take your mobile phone with you....don't you??) We have a few jokesters around here that make this sound like a good idea. But neither my desktop nor my laptop have built-in bluetooth, at least not anything Ubuntu 11.10 can find. Does anyone know of a good bluetooth dongle that works well with Linux? (and is fairly affordable?) Kendric Beachey

Screen replacement on a MyTouch 3G Slide
by Shane Par-Due 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

I replaced a screen on my wife's phone and now it won't get past the MyTouch splash screen. The bootloader says there was a touch panel failure. After checking and rechecking the connections, I can't find the problem. Would anyone be able to help me with this? I would really appreciate it! -- Shane

Fwd: [FSF] New FSF membership benefit: Digital Credit Union eligibility
by Billy Crook 02 Oct '11

02 Oct '11

This was the bank I ended up choosing after trying several online banking sites out. DCU's interface is down to business, quite functional, without looking all web 2.0. The bill amounts for my utilities show up in DCU's website, and DCU automatically sends a check to pay if the bill amount is under a threshold I set. Depositing checks with their android app, like I demonstrated at a meeting, is certainly nice as well. Their log on process works flawlessly with lastpass too. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joshua Gay <jgay(a)fsf.org> Date: Tue, Sep 27, 2011 at 16:14 Subject: [FSF] New FSF membership benefit: Digital Credit Union eligibility To: info-member(a)fsf.org Free Software Foundation members living in the US are now eligible to join the Digital Federal Credit Union for their banking, thanks to DCU approving us as a participating organization. DCU is, like the FSF, a nonprofit headquartered in Massachusetts, with members in all 50 states. * Sign-up with DCU: <http://www.dcu.org/> * Share this story: <http://ur1.ca/57wgw> We are working to be able to offer this same opportunity to the many members living in other countries as well, but so far we have not been able to find appropriate partner organizations. If you know of a credit union in your country that would be willing to work with us please let us know at <membership(a)fsf.org>! Credit unions are cooperative and often nonprofit financial institutions which provide the same services as banks, but because they are member-owned, there can be dramatic differences from banks in the cost of borrowing money and use of their services. DCU is both nonprofit and democratically controlled, which means you and other members elect a volunteer board of directors to run things. The management then reports to this board. If you'd like to take advantage of this benefit, head to <https://www.dcu.org/> and complete their application. *Thank you to Danny Piccirillo, who did the work to make this possible while interning at the FSF last year.*

Anti-Virus for Windows

Jonathan, I I have had the very best luck with Avast. (I've purposely caroused some of the back alleys of the internet on the rare occasion just to see what it would do. It did protect my computer very well!) It has very strong heuristics and the latest version has added a sandbox feature that gives extra protection when used. Check out Avast here. That way you have something to compare with MSE and the NOD32 to. I think that you know better than to go the AVG route! :p Hope this helps!
