I'm easily distracted and it's slightly annoying to see a number sitting beside a mailbox, think that I've got mail, then realize "no, that's just spam".
Yeah. A folding keyboard sort of like the Palm V's optional kb.
The ultimate would of course be some variant of the compact Model M laid out like a standard laptop kb, or with just the alphanumerisymbols plus modifiers if you want *compact*.
It'd still mass more than the iPhone, but that isn't the point, is it?
I lack it because my eyes point in somewhat different directions (strabismus) & have since I was born. Can't catch a ball or do hand-to-hand combat to save my life.
I didn't realize that normals use the same guessing technique past about six feet or so, but it makes sense.
We've got at-grade crossings here on many of our highways, and the distance at which you can see from your stop is limited. This is fairly sensible with up to 65 MPH speed limits, 70 if it's a nice flat interstate, provided traffic from the minor road is low.
At the on-ramp-style crossings, we have this thing called "traffic"; perhaps you've heard of it? Other drivers don't always get over to allow people to merge, and when they do, this speeding asshole might not notice in time and collide.
And then you've got people like me, who lack depth perception. We guesstimate distance based on size cues and knowing "it'll take this guy about so long to get here, I've got time". That goes out the window if the other guy's traveling twice the speed limit.
Could be lots of drivers that aren't expecting some asshole to come at them @ 100+ MPH, though, and pull out in front of him thinking they've got plenty of room.
Gmail's spam filters have definitely improved. When I first got my account (in '03?) I foolishly posted something to Usenet via DejaGoogle (required my @gmail.com account) and the spam just started rolling in. I still get lots of spam, but almost all of it is properly routed to the spam folder, and thanks to the CustomizeGoogle extension, I don't even see the spam count.
It'd be neat if they released the source of MS-DOS 6.22; it might give the FreeDOS people some help. Maybe their old DOS compilers (masm, whatever their C compiler was).
Xenix? Probably have to wait until SCO is finally dismantled, but it might be interesting.
That's "taut", for you half-literate people. It means "tight, under tension". One might use it to describe sails on a ship while the wind blows hard, or a rope.
I may be an English nazi, but my children will not write like they're half-wits.
It's fucking overused and is used by clueless people (suits, feds). Just say "EMP" or whatever the hell principle this thing operates on, or name it after the inventor.
You think security theater can't be extended to rail travel? Little harder to knock down a skyscraper with Amtrak, but you could still do some damage if you go too fast in a populated area.

Hairy Hardon.
Done.
Although what I have to say to my Representative cannot, in general, be said. It may only be fired with extreme prejudice.
I'm ready to take up arms, myself. I just need enough *other* people doing it that I won't be simply tossed in the gulag for the rest of my life.
Hail Eris, friend. I needed some bizarre humor this morning. :)

That's more of a giant reddish-pink hole. I don't think there's a theory on that.

Hand in your own license. I didn't see you emoting the shooting motion.

...and then 3Com or whomever will come in and take all of Cisco's Brazil business. And they'll be careful to keep their noses clean.
Live by the buck, die by the buck.
However, in place of the AOLers you've got the DejaGoogle users. Maybe not September, but if not definitely October.
Not as mean as the denizens of alt.alien.vampire.flonk.flonk.flonk or alt.fan.karl-malden.nose.
Great, and we finally got the AOLers to go away.
Laptop users may want to stick with 32-bit Ubuntu, since the CONFIG_NO_HZ (tickless kernel) option isn't available in 64-bit kernels yet.

HTH. I swear, most Myspace weenies must use it in write-only mode.

How many Ping-Pong balls & how many Libraries of Congress, please.
Probably the cum-dot boom, once pornography hits mainstream.
So instead of "Khaaaaannnn" we'll get "braiiiiiinnnns"?
