The easiest way is to set up GeoServer as part of the OpenGeoSuite. The OpenGeoSuite sets up PostGIS and GeoServer and another application called GeoExplorer, which is a web-app that sorts out authentication and editing of spatial data, as well as simple styling.
That said, you can't just 'make a map.' You need to set up multiple tables, all with an appropriate schema, to hold all your different layers. That stuff takes experience, or will require you to iterate over time in order to get it right.
You could set it up in a Desktop environment first, use QGIS for that. Edit data in PostGIS for best practice, or use SHP files for ease of use.
I spent a few years of my youth testing planes and came up with two which are the best.
First, you have a dart, a more basic variation of that one you pointed out. It is the one where you make two folds and then fold over. Very simple and quick to make, and very fast and stable. (this design, but I fold right to the point: http://www.amazingpaperairplanes.com/Basic_Dart.html).
Then there was the stunt plane, which I found was recently the world record plane. This guys plane is a better version of the one I made. Mine was the same shape and weighting, but with different folds so the front wasn't held together. Anyhow, the following plane is IMHO the best in the world: http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Fold_Your_Own_Sky_King_Paper_Airplane
This is my new go-to plane. It has an excellent glide and isn't too hard to make. It also looks really good and has a clever nose design.
It is a variation of the stunt plane I decided was my favourite when I was doing my plane testing in my youth! http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Fold_Your_Own_Sky_King_Paper_Airplane
I have switched to Chrome and am happy with seamless updates.
Really, what advantages do you have with using an old, outdated version? Smaller memory footprint, well, are you actually low on memory? RAM is cheap. You already said that version 3.X is slower than modern builds.
The only suggestion I have is live with the new version progression, stop being concerned with it and live with what the developers are doing. Either that or move to gentoo and compile you own!
Firstly, you can post questions here: http://gis.stackexchange.com/ and they will be answered. It seems to be a pretty good community, I have been posting on there for a little while.
Secondly, I don't use databases a lot, but I recommend that you do what you suggest. Make a Google Map and make a CSV for folks to download.
I think that they have ensured that only the diff of a truecrypt volume gets uploaded after you change a volume.
I have been thinking about sticking all my photos in Dropbox, but if I do, it will be inside a large trucrypt volume, so that only I can view them. This will be a very large initial upload, but then as I add more photos to the volume, only the new photos will be uploaded (as a few hundred meg difference in the TC volume).
The problem with this is that people will then dual boot Windows (XP, 7) and ChromeOS and will then end up just defaulting to Windows all the time... That is what happens when you give people the option in my experience. Google (or the folks who can hack ChromeOS) should perhaps enable different desktop environments, i.e., log out of ChromeOS and log into gnome. That should be possible right?
All GPS receivers (AFAIK) have a map of ephemerides, they all know approximately where the GPS satellites are. What a phone does is work out an approximate location using other sources (cell towers, wifi hotspots) which speeds up the GPS solution.
I think that this is right. GPS is not just the ability to get a location. There is a whole bunch of other stuff which you can throw at the signals to get a better, more accurate location. On top of the software, the hardware is also quite important. A really good antenna is worth big money, and there are probably is dedicated hardware these days optimised to solve for coordinates which uses less power than the software of a phone.
Now, your Dad may not know that he should turn off bluetooth and wifi in order to conserve battery life, and he is not going to want to do fancy stuff with the data in the field, which is another advantage of a smartphone. I reckon that the software in a Garmin is going to be easy to use, the hardware is top notch and that is what I would get.
Err.. It's Tasmania, and yes, we grow opium poppies. I have a small patch in my backyard, the processing isn't so hard but packing it into the little plastic capsules takes ages and your hands go numb.
I think it is completely stupid, since anyone can arbitrarily get around it. That guy, the right to die euthanasia guy, was giving tutorials to old people, showing them how to get around it. If oldies can get around it, and young people can too, it will probably only work for middle aged computer illiterate parents of teenagers.
This means that the only people made happy by it's ability to block terrible shit on the interned will be those ignorant folk with kids most vulnerable!
I intend on filtering my home internet when my kids are a bit older, although I haven't looked into it, either that or ensuring the kids only access to the interned is in the family areas of the house.
Me too. I have two of the sites I frequent a lot unblocked (ars included). Reddit responded to its uses disgust at one of the adds on its site which goes fullscreen by assuring that it was an accident, they mentioned how it happened and put something in place so that it would not happen again. I use addblock a lot, and I am shocked when I use a computer without it. The web is very different with those big, flashy adds.
Hi there, I am a spatial guy so thought my 0.02 may be worth something. I am not too sure about digitising them, maybe a print shop or as suggested in other posts you could talk to your local university geography department or a government mapping agency
Once they are digital though you need to georeference them. As mentioned in the title of my post, it is easiest to use GIS to do this and you can use QGIS with relative ease. Install it using osgeo4w on windows or the ubuntu ppa for qgis. Alternatively if you have a license then use ArcGIS. If you have a map of the underlying roads for the maps you are digitising then what you do is find points on the roads and match them to points on the scanned images, this provides data for a transformation and will shift the map onto your coordinates.
You rarely need to worry about broken dependencies: they happen, but...
I don't want to hear no buts. I tried installing a nice piece of GIS software (QGIS) which is super easy to install on Ubuntu (apt) and windows (osgeo4w, which uses a cygwin style interface) but on OSX it is a paiin in the arse to get the full program with GRASS (kind of a dependency).
I wish OSX had bloody apt working, not port where you need to wait days for anything to bloody compile, but true package management. I use VLC, Thunderbird, FIrefox, GIMP and all the other FOSS software but it is all independently maneged. OSX is great and stable (compared to Ubuntu) and beautiful but the package management should be fixed.
My ISP already does this. I was called to my sister-in-law's house as the ISP sent her an email saying her internet was restricted. She was only allowed to visit a couple of web sites of virus scanners while she was quarantined. She sent an email to them stating that she has up to data anti-virus and that a scan turned up no viruses. But I was asked to come and have a look and did a few scans (including that online Trend Micro virus scanner) and found a couple of items. Now I don't deal with Windows enough to know whether these viruses were really that bad but I thought it was a positive that the ISP let her know that something was happening, even if it was a false positive it did make her more aware.
Ah I see what you are saying now, and you are rbarreira is probably right, it has given up. I thought that the input region saying it was a member meant it was true... Oh well, I did think it was pretty impressive that it new so quick!

That funny E sign means 'element of a set' and the set is defined by that funny P sign, which means all primes. This means that Wolfram is saying that 2^42643792 -1 is a member of the set of prime numbers. See also how they know it is a prime.

Should have called it 'PiSeas.'

Obviously, the government official was high too.
Dude. I am from Tasmania (no there are no spinning devils, its out of season) and you are absolutely right. The whole Goverment is high.
Dead Slashdot. Please put the space back in between "anonymous coward" and "on" it is not posted by "anonymous cowardon at 12:00" damn fools!

I meant "knew so quick".

This gives you the number, keep hitting 'More digits'. Unfortunately it gives it as an image so I can't copy paste here.
Well I don't know why it took 29 days for the computer to tell him it was so, wolfram alpha told me it was prime in ~1 second.
On that note, I asked Wolfram the other day the tree in a forest thing and I finally have an answer!
