Re:Old news?
You're probably thinking of http://www.makerscanner.com/ which is opensource. Here it's a video of David3d scanner. But there are other opensource programs that don't require a laser like VisualSFM http://ccwu.me/vsfm/ and CMPMVS http://ptak.felk.cvut.cz/sfmservice/?menu=cmpmvs, or PPT GUI http://www.arc-team.homelinux.com/arcteam/ppt.php.

Re:Horray, I get to use this again!
Oh goddamnit, the one motherfucking time I enthusiastically click "submit" and there's a typo. Yeah, Murphy? You and your law can both go fuck yourselves.

And the Heavens opened and the Nokia N800 came...
I posted this as a Reply above, but thought it would be beneficial to those who don't want to dig down on links... This is my alternative for an iPod and even an iPhone
:) Enjoy! Before I get on with the Nokia N800, I'll give a little feedback on Apples latest move. Sounds like a Sony Mini Disc/Sony Connect store move to me. If you don't know what I mean by that then here's a quick run down. With Sony's Mini Disc you can only move songs you have ripped or purchased to the one device from the one original computer. You can not move songs from that same computer to another device, or move the songs from that one device to another computer. On top of that, you have to use Sony's software in order to do so. Anything else added to it not using Sony software was used as mass storage and unrecognized by the firmware. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what it sounds like Apple is trying to do per: http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3059&Itemid=1 . While it may not be the exact same (I don't know as I don't own a new iPod. I have an old one, but haven't used it for a bit as I have my PSP and N800 that can do the same and more). In case you are wondering how things turned out for Sony... They will be closing the Sony Connect store by end of this year, or beginning of next year (granted they never got as big as Apple has with the iPod, and the Mini Disk never caught on, but I think it goes to say that people like freedom to do what they want with what they purchased). All of Sony's new players now feature full support for MP3 ;) On to my reply... I considered an iPhone, but then came across the N800. I was sold in a second with the interface, flexibility of what you can do with it, software and hardware, the design, features, etc. It is my all in one now :) I use it for GPS, Music, Movies, Casual Games, Internet, Planning, Organizing, Phone (whenever I'm at a hot spot, which is almost always. Just in case, I leave a Pay as you go phone in the car console.), Chatting, Carman (via Bluetooth I can diagnose my car if a Warning light comes on), and the list goes on. While this is not a dedicated media player, it is a UMPC that is almost the size of an iPod. The casing is made of aluminum and is black on bottom, silver on top. It also includes a built in adjustable stand that forms to the body for watching movies, browsing the internet etc. There is an app. called Canola that has a beautiful and simple interface for your movies, music, and photos. I picked mine up from Dell, but they also sell them in CompUSA (if you're in the U.S., check out Nokia's official website for other countries). Cost = $399.00, if you don't want to spend that, you can pick up the predecessor called the Nokia 770 for $130-150 (Here's a pic of my buddies 770 running the latest version of Maemo on it: http://troseph.homelinux.com/Site/Blog/0FA20D29-A1B4-4E63-9E72-3194689DF333.html) The background and theme that is on there is the default theme, and you can change the theme and background. Specs (curtsey of Wikipedia and the back of the box. Check out the pic. displayed, that's my N800 posted :) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N800 - OS: Slimmed down version of Debian Linux that runs NATIVELY on the system called Maemo (www.maemo.org). - Browser is Opera and there is a Firefox browser available called MicroB. Web pages are viewed at full width without scrolling (for most pages anyways), due to the beautiful resolution. As a note, the screen looks as good as my PSP slim IMO. - The N800 supports Flash 9 and Skype internet calls as of July 6, 2007, which allows users to better browse YouTube videos, and play online flash games, as well as making free internet calls to other Skyp -

Re:Can I upgrade without reinstalling
Yes, you can manually edit your yum configuration and run "yum update".

Market not Ready?
Are you kidding, as a network Administrator you wouldn't believe that calls we get about where people are trying to access their VPN or their webmail. Business class or First Class or Coach, there is a market there. Now more than ever it is harder for people to unplug, our need for always updating news and email or IM from friends and family is growing all the time. Boeing should forge ahead with the project, it could be bigger than they think. -W http://williehowe.homelinux.com/

Re:Ubuntu & Oracle -- two different universes
This is no longer true with Oracle XE. Oracle XE comes in as native RPM and Debian packages and can be installed and ready to run in 5 minutes. Little administration is required. Also, it comes with Application Express which is a completely Web-based rapid application development (RAD) environment.
See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database /xe/index.html.
BTW, there is an Oracle XE repository available. See http://frits.homelinux.com/wordpress/?p=9&SID=5031 C9559A765B126EE6BB19BBA6CBE3 -
Meanwhile, on the Greek island of CreteArcheologists working in Aptera, a walled fortress city on the island of Crete, have recently announced the discovery of a very unusual, and very intact, tomb just outside the city. I visited Crete last year and took some pictures at the site - some pretty amazing detail. Then there's the hitchhiker who found and returned a 6500 y.o. gold pendant to the Greek authorities recently, she wanted no reward, and preferred to remain anonymous...
I couldnt think of anything funny to say about this new wall, so I figured I'd post something serious.

It would be simpler...
To learn German than try and untangle that horrible babelfish translation. The funny part was that I read about 4 paragraphs before realizing it was a Babelfish translation, and the whole time wondered what incompetant wrote it
:P
Anyway, here's a better(or at least another) translation done by ImTranslator. -
Sounded like a firecracker?
I seriously doubt that the energy of two fabrics rubbing could ever make a sound approaching that of a firecracker. Although I will most certainly regret including this link, This makes a sound like a firecracker. Anyone whose clothes could hold enough charge at enough voltage to mimic that would be of great scientific interest...

This idea is neither vapour or rocket science.Here is a simple python program that implements the 'guts' of this paper. It's not rocket science...
A 'real' implementation would involve some additional P2P networking code, block management, and the matrix operations would be over a GF(2^n) rather than the linear matrix I've used...
I really wish Dvorak would stop writing. He's lowering the global IQ.

Sounds like intergrated Virtual PC to me....
BTW, the versions of Virtual PC that I have used dont even allow the emulation of *nix OS's out of the box. WHo would want to emulate multiple crappy OS's on a crappy host OS? http://leetworks.homelinux.com/

OK, in very small words
Once: Tie a rope between two fixing points. This is like unto your entire hard drive, with many config files interwoven. If a thread frays out of the rope, it doesn't break.
Now tie a thread between two fixing points. This is like unto your registry. If a thread frays out... it's game over.
Again: take a pile of gravel. This is like unto a pile of small files on your hard drive.
Now, carefully stack the individual pieces of gravel one atop another to build a thin, tall pillar. This is like unto your registry on your hard drive.
Take one piece of gravel from each system. Which lasts better?
Discussion: Similar principles apply elsewhere. Microsoft have a tendency to lose the plot when faced with a choice between "robust" and "shiny". They also fall victim to their own propaganda. -

I torrented it!
The web site is getting a little slow, so I actually made a torrent of the star wars lego pictures and pages.
Download the torrent here.
This may be overkill, but at least I'll get experience. I'm hosting this shit myself, so send me some input or post back :) -
ISP Hell
Happened to me after I signed up with a smaller ISP expecting more personal service. I got personal service alright after they threatened to cut off my service for exceeding their bandwidth "guarantee" of 500MB a month. I posted a review of the ISP and got a letter back threatening legal action. Even angrier that the company would attack me posting my opinions online, I decided to post a snippet of the threatening letter they sent on my website and the ISP backed off. Now I'm with SBC. 1.5 down, 365 up and they've never bothered me once.
