I use a minimum of three levels of gaits to keep my mobile devices secure;
for my ipod I use my regular walk to unlock it. for my phone I add a slight spring to my step-- which you might say looks flaimboyant, but, whatever ya know-- higher security is cool-- in fact I talk about my gait-scheme at coffee shops a lot for my really important flashdrive I have to walk on my hands... kinda a pain since it takes about 50 paces for it to authorize... but it's worth it knowing my gait is secure.
Why does every new product/technology have to be "used in India, China and other developing countries, where it could provide education and government services"?
As someone who just spent about 60 hours getting Myth working on debian stable (sarge) w/ PVR-350 w/ automatic transcoding to MPEG4 w/ dual X11 desktop (F7, F8) allowing the computer to be used as a desktop system while the wife watches tv in the other room-- I must say... dump gentoo! hehe
The ivtvdev_drv.o for X11 was a royal pain to compile, I had to apt-get source xserver-xfree86 and build the deb so that I had a configured X11 tree otherwise XV wouldn't be enabled and it'd be slower than crap.
Limitations right now are that you cannot use the myth interface until I hit ctrl-alt-F7... but once you are watching tv or a show (not using X11 desktop) you are good to go and I can switch back to F8 and use the computer for other stuff...
I haven't rebooted yet after applying the faketty (linux console project) patches that will allow multi-head and legged (as they say) X11 desktops....
I plan to write a howto on my website once I am sure everything is stable...
Of course there is no mention of how many BTUs the thing can pump. Some googling reveals that automotive a/c's are typically house-sized (30-40k btus/hr).
Startup times don't matter for word processing programs? I find that hard to believe. If you open and close documents (such as email attachments) all day long, startup times are VERY important. You might say one might as well leave the program open, but most people don't understand that concept-- which is probably one reason that the Macintosh UI often leaves programs running (unless you specifically quit), and why so many programs have obnoxious system startup items. To the end user, startup time is the first impression and probably the most important benchmark.
Here's why I call it a hack, and why it annoys me so much;
If you copy some text from a Microsoft Product (word), and paste this into a mozilla product, the latter will "correct" the MS "bullshit" comments and make them more like regular comments. The result will be stuff like <--[if !supportlists]--> which Microsoft products (IE, Outlook) will simply display on-screen,
Mozilla users get blamed for making this messy code that doesn't work on MS, (it renders fine on any other browser engine) but really what do you want Mozilla to do? Mozilla is trying to make correct html, so you can't ask them to make a special case for conditional comments. IT'S A (broken) HACK. (broken because MS treats this code as neither a conditional comment nor an html comment-- it just displays the whole thing!)
That should be an invisibile comment to any browser on the planet, but no, IE will simply display that entire comment (including the <----> on-screen. Why? Because they broke the specification.
Wow I'm an idiot. I accidently cut and pasted it myself while trying to compare the light levels in the two frames. Kill me.
Ok, to redeem myself, there are possibly two witnesses in this photo- under the trees at 770,1162 there is a car. In the last frame a person appears to be beside the car, possibly getting out after seeing or hearing whatever happened.
Also, at 380,1231 there is an object in the first frame that seems to disappear in the next two.
Lastly, at 2244,1018 there is a light that seems to wink out at the same time as this event.
I can see that the area of 851,1029, (the streetlight that is still lit)-- is the EXACT same in the 2nd and 3rd frame. You can even see the box-shaped halo around the area.
Why didn't noise affect this area like it did for every other pixel-- it was copied and pasted!
When I found out Photoshop had it's own scratch disk, (swap file), I thought it was dumb, at first. There is a setting that sets how much available system ream Photoshop will suck up-- default is 50%. Without this, Photoshop would immediately saturate system memory and begin swapping, when you load a large image. Any program that knows it is capable of sucking up all the RAM should have a feature like this....
My point is that no company ever "eats" the expense, and stays in business-- They cut corners elsewhere; quality, support, warranty, etc etc etc-- so basically the consumer still takes it home. It's like the refund for cans and bottles, I'm fairly sure that those states that offer refunds place that nickel on the purchase price in the first place..
Hey I was a sucker and bought one because of the much touted "verite quake"; the only game that worked with the card. pentium 133 w/ a whopping 32 megs of edo ram and a POS verite card. I don't recall getting X to work on it either.
Slightly OT; I was using 2.4 kernel mostly because of nvidias drivers not compiling for 2.5.x. Then I found this site that provides up-to-date nvidia driver patches for 2.5.x including 2.5.70. (I had found patches before but they were always not-so-fresh)
One can download the nvidia driver from ftp://download.nvidia.com (the website only seems to link an "installer" version, which was irritating)
Now I'm happily runny mozilla-xft without those buggy artifacts the nv driver has-- and GL is always nice...
"Would you like a drink with your order?" "Yeah: CODE RED please.... AHAHAHAHAHA " "*sigh* (another fucking slashdot wanker) Sorry sir we only carry Coca Cola products at McDonalds...."
I still find it funny that the healthiest lifestyle is to be filthy; the more crap your exposed to the stronger your immune system becomes. This includes allergies too Of course, it's still a double edged sword because, if your immune system gets knocked out for some other reason (injury, AIDS, etc) then you're really hosed. I mean, how ofter does your dog get sick? Nearly never, probably because he has his nose in all kinds of shit on a daily basis.
The war is about oil right? As always Bush wants to capitalize on his own oil business and such. So where does this battery come in? It's obvious Saddam is working on alternative power sources!! Bush is scared shitless that Iraq will harness clean, plentiful energy and begin exporting these advanced clay pot fuelcells!

If this peltier cooler is anything as efficient as other peltier coolers on the market such as

then it would take about 11,000 watts of power to be useful (in arizona at least).
Yow!

This method will give a fairly accurate portrayal, a simulation if you will, of the new UserLinux. .

Windows XP:
1. start-->run, type cmd.exe and hit enter
2, squint your eyes
Mac OSX:
1. Restart system and hold Command+S during boot
2. type root pass and remount -uw
Linux:
1. Install Debian
Oh please fix this bug before 2.6.0 is released. :-). There's a business model! hehe
I'll send a check for $20 to the developer who does it

How exactly can a company incur a fee without pushing that expense to the consumer?
