This is pretty neat. Once you install bluezproximity on fedora you can set it to listen for the proximity of a specific bluetooth device - say your cellphone - and lock and unlock the screen.
The beats having to type your password over and over again as you run to grab water, a printout, talk with someone, etc. The downside is if you leave you phone at your computer or someone steals your phone they can pretty easily get in.
That being said it translates real well with the concept of ID cards that you scan to get in a building. People can always steal those too.
I am pretty sure that apple and google are already integrating this into their respective products as we speak.
To get it simply, "sudo yum install blueproximity"
. Too bad they are so freakin expensive. Lumens.com is such a fuckin scam. I have been watching the price of this product like a hawk. Stores seem to charge between $150-$190 dollars for it. They now have this presidents day sale with 50% on Philips lighting in which they jacked the price up to $417 and then took 50% bringing it to $208 - more that the price of it anywhere else.
A seller on Amazon.
Whoa. Where did you get that price?!
Ordered the gen 2 livingcolors light!! A supposedly new one just not in the box for $109.00.
Isn't there someone living somewhere warm you'd like to visit? You don't have to go for two weeks, you could spend one at home noodling and nerding and one out having relaxing fun.
(Really, I'm just jealous that you have time off. I'm really looking forward to July 28.)
+1000. Live on a beach in florida for a fortnight and never go inside. Think of all the coconut water you can have in the sun!! :-)
Haha don't waste a vacation, you definetly need one
If you just wanna relax then I wouldn't suggest new orleans fort mardi gras because its gonna be fast paced but ALOT of fun. If you just want to lay back in the sun with some peace then go to the beach in florida. :)
I am going nuts trying to decide between stressful but exciting vacation in new orleans for mardi gras and relax on the beach in florida dull. In reality I will probably just end up sitting at home.
I wanna go so bad Ajay tells me about them all the time. I wanna go with you guys I'm gonna nab a ticket in a couple days.
2008 was the last year for it. (e:terry) and I went but then they brought it back now in 2011. Tickets started at $150 :::link::: but they already bumped up to $175. They eventually go up to $250.
That freak of a lamp has been on my wishlist for the past couple years now and the lowest I have seen the 2nd gen light was some days back when Amazon "reduced" it to 149.99. The sales are a joke. I almost bought it several times. The actually ordered it and then canceled the order the next day before it went to the shipping phase... SO TEMPTING! One of these days, I will just get it and feel awfully foolish at having spent a fortune on it.
That thing if really pretty. Whatever it does. August 14th is my birthday I wanna go to WEMF, isn't it the last year for it? Are tickets on sale yet?
