I made this submission but it was rejected outright.

What about the Finder's Column view? I mean, not bothering to look is one thing but not clicking a button that's right there the whole time is just lazy.

I don't know but I made an MP3 to enjoy on the go. 1:33 of pure auditory bliss. Soothing action action action....

Before IBM told them to take a powder, few people knew about M$. IBM is the company that set the architecture because IBM is the company that people knew and trusted. The Bill Gates influence on that company was nothing but negative, but he leveraged his association with them to grow. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, M$ will return from where they came as IBM focuses on being a computer and equipment maker.

As you can never construct the truth from untrusted sources and trying is a waste of effort, let me point you to some useful sites:

"MS wrote the whole OS from scratch and did a fairly good job at the low levels"

*cough*

Back when IBM and MS were all buddy-buddy still, they started working on a DOS-killer by the name of "OS/2." OS/2 1.x came out from both companies much in the same was as early MS/PC-DOS releases. From there, though, differences in coding opinion brought about a code forking in its successors. On the one hand, IBM went on to make OS/2 2.x, and ever onward to OS/2 Warp.

On Microsoft's side of the fork, they were working on OS/2 3.0. They took what they had of the code, put the ol' Windows 3.1 GUI on top of it, and released it. However, instead of calling it "OS/2 3.x," they opted instead to rename it "Windows NT 3.x." Ever wonder why Windows XP can run programs that use older OS/2 instruction sets, or why NT up to 3.51 could read HPFS?

More details are available at a rather interesting article over here.

So, I guess I'm just trying to point out that they didn't do a very good job with NT at the lower levels. IBM did.

Considering the design problems inherent in automotive intercooler design with trying to balance flow and cooling efficiency, it would be wonderful to adapt a technology like this to cooling in racing applications. There have been some theories on the best way to approach this in the past, but something like this would be wonderful!

Agreed. (author's page is here)

Not on record anywhere as far as I know.

I've bought it on a tape called St Elmo's Fire and I believe you can still get the same tape here: www.firebirdarts.com. Worthwhile (well, if you like filk... one of my friends claims to be allergic to the stuff; no accounting for taste ;-)
