I think I called them about it. The entire system is designed for credit cards and checking (as well as savings, investments, etc issued through BoA) to be managed from the same interface, but it wouldn't take my number as a BoA card. The two separate systems even have different username/password rules. Whereas BoA West will let you choose an alphanumeric username, BoA East requires all numbers. The two systems are almost certainly the reason you have to give your state when you go to log into the account. -e;
Bank of America has separate computer systems for BoA East and BoA West. I too opened my account in CA, but filled out a credit card form with my family's MI address. The result: I had both a checking and credit card account with "BoA", but couldn't see the two in the same online account manager. -e;
Keeping the Pasadena theme, I think it would be apt to mention that this is also exactly what the IGS group at JPL does. You can click on the tracking network link to see a map of where all of the IGS sites are located. There's some fascinating data in there.

Here's a prime example of how the Eldred Act would in fact get works into the public domain quicker. There's clear past precedent to show that companies won't hassle with renewal of works they don't find to be attractive any longer.
SGI's MIPS chips are engineered to generate magnitudes less heat than Intel or AMD chips. Itanium cores throw 130W or so, whereas SGI engineers all of its cores to fall between 15 - 20W. And if there's one thing SGI knows, it's how to engineer a case. I have an Origin 200 sitting at home, and that thing has enormous heat sinks on each of the CPUs along with three industrial sized fans pushing air through.
USC send this same email every year. Basically it's their insurance policy for when the RIAA et al coming knocking. If people take a little bit to look at their history, when Metallica sued napster USC was also named as a defendant. For all their talk, the school is very lax on doing any actual enforcement. Every one of the people I know in the dorms use kazaa, and the only times I ever know of ISD coming down are when their sharing was a little exorbitant. In those cases ISD just cared because of a pretty constant upstream.
The problem with this thinking is the matter of determining what is a church document. In the case of the published Scientology documents, they're copyrighted by the Religious Technology Center, not the Church of Scientology perse. Granted, it's an affiliated corporation, but it's not the church.
If you look at your proposed legislation in relation to Christianity, what documents would it purport to open up? Certainly not copyrights to Biblical translations, as those are copyrighted by non-affiliated organizations like Zondervan and the American Bible Society.
So, while the idea is right, I don't really think there's a workable method of enforcement to be found.
Has anyone else noticed a little bit of a turn in SGI's marketing of late? For a while all I saw advertised was the new Intel cruft, but recently I've been seeing a lot more ads for Octane2s and O2s. Not only that, but they call them Silicon Graphics workstations.
I think SGI has realized the folly of its full-scale leap into Intel and is finally starting to get back to their roots again.
I have a VAIO PCG-F390, and it has support for dual monitors. I haven't figured out how to make it work under Linux, but it certainly does under Windows.
You can also do cool stuff like map the second monitor to the video out (NTSC or PAL).
eThreads is GPL'ed forum software written in Perl. It uses a SQL database to store all forum and post information (which allows the scripts to be run on multiple servers using a shared SQL backend... great for redundancy and load balancing). It supports multiple forums (and forum trees for easy browsing), and each forum can be completely customized (HTML templates for each forum are stored in the db and then post values are parsed in at view time).
I realize I'm a little biased (I did write the thing, after all), but I've found eThreads a lot easier to use than anything else I've seen.
I know RealNetworks had a similar policy for their conference, but when I emailed them about it, they were really nice about writing back and said they would be glad to make exceptions. They just didn't want people bringing kids and stuff.
That said, Comdex sticking to that policy is fairly dumb. I know I'd be pissed about it, if it wasn't Comdex. I mean, who wants to go to Comdex anyway?
Don't look to Real as a competitor -- their format is designed for streaming over networks, and only for streaming over networks. It doesn't have the dynamic, client-side, on-the-fly creation capabilities that QuickTime has, and I don't think Real has a real motivation to add those.
Have you looked at the SMIL stuff in G2? Stuff like built-in transitions, multiple simultaneous media types and feeds, all sorts of stuff like that. Quicktime's definately cooler when it comes to that stuff, but Real is definately going down this line.
While they haven't released the G2 player for Linux yet, Real has shown a little more Linux support recently. I don't know if you've tried the new RealProducer G2 for Linux, but it's remarkably solid. It even has a very usable GUI and does capture with video4linux.
They made one really cool touch in the GUI, FWIW. In the preferences there's an option to output the command line syntax for every command the GUI runs. Very cool for scripting and stuff...
If you're looking for a really cool setup program, IRIX rocks. It has a VRML spiral staircase thingy where each level contains a button that launches a different setup script (like creating users, mounting stuff, etc). Alongside each is a video clip explaining why you should do whatever the script does.
I'll admit it eats space, but for people installing off CD's, it makes installation a whole lot cooler.
Slashdot does 600,000 page views per day. HIts and page views are completely different stories (depending on how you count hits... and how you count pages, but I won't go there). The site I work for does 1.5 to 2 million hits per day (on Linux), but our page view count is much lower.

The problem (as far as I understand it) with rc5 on mips isn't that the chips aren't good at it, it's just that too many people have tto much time to optimize Intel rc5 code, and nowhere near as many people are working on the MIPS code.
People need to quit bashing Enlightenment for memory usage. At home I run the thing on a Pentium 100 with 48mb of RAM and it's completely smooth and usable. Sure, I turned off the sliding windows and translucent dragging, but that's what you do on sucky systems.
Enlightenment itself does not suck RAM. It's full screen backgrounds and the extra eyecandy (which can easily be turned off) that do.

They say it'll be out next month for about $499.

That new 'sgi' logo on the o2 sticking out of their front page sucks. the cool shiny silver cube right now is just infinitely better.
Heh. I just counted, and I've got 13 of the cube logo in my office on assorted keyboards, mice, monitors, and machines...
I'm definately not getting rid of it for a while.
