Black Dog USB Linux Server

Paul Westbrook | 10 August, 2005 21:19

Nw Hm Prod 06This looks like a pretty cool device.  The Black Dog is a small USB computer that is running Debian, that when authenticated with biometrics launches a X server on the host computer.  Then you can interact with the computer in that way.

I would assume that this will only work if the host computer is set to to support USB networking.  Also I assume that if this computer needs access to the network, the host computer will need to install firewall in bridging mode.

Fuel cell bus

Fuel Cell BusYesterday, I was running some errands and I saw a strange looking bus.  It looked like it has a white exhaust, but then I realized that it was steam.  The VTA has 3 fuel cell buses. 

I think that this is great.  I would hope that as municipalities start implementing these sort of things, they would make the fueling stations available to the public.  I think that this would allow fuel cell consumer vehicles to proliferate faster.
