But on This page it shows a number of gestures that are tied to common functions such as CUT, COPY, Back/Forward on browser, etc. Well, how does it know to do those things if you don't install seperate software? I mean they are useful functions, but is there a linux driver to interpret the gestures?

I suspect that very soon the Motif stuff in netscape that's still proprietary (the 606 files that are proprietary it says are entirely contained in netscape) will soon dissappear in favor of strict mozilla. Not that this would be a monumental happening (i myself don't use netscape), but it would mean that RedHat could finally say "0% proprietary code in our distro"

plot lines i remember:
haunted house
Monster of strawberry lake
hot air balloon race
caught the bank robbers
get the money out of an old cannon
The dinosaur egg that hatched
finding the Air Pilot that crashed
i don't remember how many actual physical books were written, the only one i ever saw was the one where they made the monster on the lake and it was remote controlled.
To answer your question, no, it wasn't a formula series, i.e. hardy boys. It was one book with i believe 6 short stories in it, geared towards the nerd kids like me. I feel in love with this book, and it started me on my trek towards nerd-dom on a grander scale.
Basically the plot was that there were these kids in the town of Mammoth Falls that were interested in science, and they would dream up things to do to keep themselves occupied, while at the same time learning about science.
For example, one time they went into an old haunted house and did things to make people think even more that it was haunted, and by the end of the story, the mayer and the chief of police ended up in the house, scared witless. The pranks they pulled were like replacing the picture hangers with electro magnets, controlled in a central location so that when the current was turned off, the pictures would fall onto the ground.

Napster Going Legit
·
· Score: 1
This is why you listen to punk folks.
I started listning to punk about 4 months ago and it has basically changed my life. One weekend, i went to the same show 3 times, in 3 different towns - same 4 bands - and i spent a GRAND TOTAL of $55, including shipping and the extra cover for being under 21 at the bar.
that's 12 performances (4X3 nites) for $55.
or i could have gone to see N*Sync once. for that price. and they're probably not singing.
Plus, when's the last time you heard Less than Jake on the radio? huh? but take a look at their discography - and they tour relentlessly.
Punk is the way to go.
Have public executions, on sunday, at 1/2 time of the football game. Fire them out of a catapult into a brick wall... there's something for the commentators to Ooh and Aah over. Shit, you'd have people staying home from church to see this!
Every once in a while, though, you'd have to clean off the wall.
Cleanliness - right next to godliness.
Honestly, i think the guy should pull the fucking plug.
I mean, i know there are questions of corporate sponsorship (cdnow, etc) involved, but if it was me, and i started napster, my view would be this:
I started this thing and it was supposed to be free. Since you're telling me i have to pay you a trillion dollars or pull the plug, i'm just gonna pull the plug and sit here with my middle finger in the air and say "i started a revolution, stop it now".

HP Ending OpenMail
·
· Score: 2
Dude, you have to understand that its all relative to the almighty dollar. Trust me i work in retail and deal with hp's products. They permeate every market where they can make a profit - HP printers, scanners, computers, monitors, CD burners, paper, CD-R's, CD-R label maker kits, Iron On T-Shirt transfers, the list goes ON AND ON, they're probably the best branded name with the most permiation in the entire store. And you always pay a premium for the HP name on it - lexmark printers with better resolution cost less, microtek scanners that do 24X12@42bit cost what 12X6@36bit scanners from HP cost.
So if you think that they got scared by competition with Exchange server, you clearly have not got a grasp of modern economics. These people spend Billions each year on marketing, market research, and R&D. If OpenMail had been economically feasable, they would have marketed it. As it is, they must have realized that there was little to no money to be made in a resonable amount of time, versus cost of maintaining a software package that is mission critical to a major company, and creating new releases of it so that it grows with the economy, making sure it is infinately scaleable, etc.
If they had thought they could get one red cent out of this, they would be pushing it in the corporate face of america.
You always have to ask what the bottom line is. And its always money.
After crashing on Pluto when their ship had problems and lost its memorybanks, the aliens reportedly came to earth and allegedly asked Tricia McMillian to come with them to re-work the zodiac to reflect a relative change in location, i.e. what happens when earth rises into the constalation scorpio. At the same time, across the galaxy, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect are trying to avoid StravoMuler Beta, whilst Zaphod Beetlebrox is busy putting his heads together and doing what he does best... nothing...
THIS JUST IN.. The alien leader, after allegedly consulting his horiscope, decided it was going to be a very bad week. In response to this, he destroys Earth to take that factor out of his astrological predictions.
We'll have more on this breaking story, along with an interview with Prostetic Vogon Jeltz...

Either they create a master database that contains EVERY name of EVERY
copyrighted song ever (we're talking like 15 megs worth of text)
OR
Napster will add encryption to the songs that my band has written ( the Jeff Mullins Band ), to which WE own the copyright, and THAT would PISS ME OFF!! We WANT our stuff traded on napster!
Plus, isn't adding an encryption to something that i own and declare free use of illegal anyway?
