I've been involved in local community group building for a number of years now, and particularly on-line. Search through Yahoo! groups for your town's name, and see if there are any local mailing lists.
Nothing relevant? Want to meet a bunch of people who are keen to get together randomly to play sports/games in your town of Tacoville? Start a list called "TacovilleSocialSport" and just wait a few weeks for the subscriptions to roll in. As you say, with a high enough population the odds do work for you. If you're really keen, you can always put a notice up at the library (lots of free web users there) and in local community newspapers (that love community building stuff). Try it, just as an experiment.
I'd try calling/emailing some of the re-enacters in your area and asking them. There's often good tradesfolk among them who are happy to work with special designs.
You seem to be talking about a process automation tool, aka workflow management. If you're doing research you might have a look at DSTC's Breeze, free for non-commercial/academic use.
name of that theme park?

From one of those reviews:
Just think of all the parks you could open with Auto companies downsizing and closing plants... just take all the robots and BAM! You have "Autoworld"!
I wonder if they can't just skate across it. I expect they'll just start to have a different type of shoe to deal with the problem soon (at least the professional protestors). What do the Hurling people wear? Nike Glide;-)
... I haven't used TeX much, I only tried my luck in writing a few letters (and found out that it is not suitable for this). I went through hell when I wrote larger documents with various versions of MS Word...
Swap these two and you're set. LaTeX for big documents, MS Word for letters.
So letting a (related) site give out some of the info online isn't so terrible really.
macosrumors also figure that given the iMac is a G4, G5s may be announced tomorrow. I'd say that they'll just make all the higher end machines dual processor, and announce some quad processor configurations.
You may be able to get some good ideas by looking at where these artists come from, hang their work, or just hang out. Email some and see what THEY say about art and technology!
Seriously though, have a thorough read through the Banner Ad Software Sellers sites to see how these companies' software works. From there, reverse eng a business model that you think is fair AND makes money for the banner-ad company, and then chose a firm who matches that business model.
Having taken a quick look at your site, you might
also want to think of other ideas based on your
rather specialised audience, like getting a
CD shop interested maybe, with weekly specials?

No, because the first (quoted) paragraph talks about a re-implementation of the font, while in the second paragraph you are talking about a copy through electronic means. A better analogy would be distributing Linux-made-to-work-and-look-like-MacOS...

Significantly, it is compatible with the Palm Computing platform, although it is unclear whether it has licensed this technology from Palm Computing itself.
There are also some discussion forums at PDA Buzz, particularly this one, that you may want to pursue. Having a quick look myself, it doesn't appear that Palm apps work unfortunately, but there is a bunch of information there...

This is the Open Source dream! This is what is always touted as the business model for the OS or GNU or etc software specialists.
The benefit here is that the industry is already accustomed to paying for the follow up service. The license cost is the entry price, and if it's $0, then smaller organisations may come in. They know that it's not an off the shelf product that anyone can just install (sound familiar?).
And do you really want to pull someone over, for cell phone use, who just got a phone call "John, mom's in the xx hospital and with yy, and the doctors say she has 1 hour to live! Get here quick!"
Absolutely. Nothing like a police escort to the hospital to get you there fast enough...
I have seen research done on this before. Usually they work on select extra symbols, as the time taken to process full messages is too long and thus too dangerous wrt response time. A quick search on the net gave me at least one place to follow up if you're interested:
You might want to email them, either to get some information, or to point them to the discussion board here and get them to participate (which would be my preferred option:-)

No, to me it sounds like you'd have Futureworld
Ralf
but did they strap a video camera to it???

was the best thing I did wrt support. Hardly any issues at all anymore, and it looks good. They get to show off their machine to others now

...to CD periodically. If you really want encryption, tar ball it first and zap that with your favourite crypto.

Congrats for having your submission accepted! :-)

You could start by having a look at the SF MOMA which has an exhibition on at the moment about art and technology. See also
- exhibition details
- web site in conjunction with exhibition
You may be able to get some good ideas by looking at where these artists come from, hang their work, or just hang out. Email some and see what THEY say about art and technology!And then there are the more modern art colleges that focus on graphic design but include a fine art component. These include the Academy of Art College in San Fran and the Queensland College of Art, just to start with two.
Explore...

Transparency of access AND monitoring is the only ethical and effective answer here. And those are the things you're really after:

I could imagine a group of people getting together, taking on the open source management of the ERP (BAAN or whatever, maybe even working on the current projects such as http://linas.org/linux/xacc/projects.html or like the business specific attempts such as http://linudent.sourceforge.net/ and http://freshmeat.net/appind ex/1999/10/05/939153658.html) and then giving it away for free and making money from the tweaking. Start your own SAP killer, targeted at small businesses and build up from there...
