...about the people blocking themselves from relevant information? I wouldn't switch ISP just because some censor-program has banned it. I would stay, just to demonstrate against such stupid blocking software. Just tell the head-hunter he'de better off stopping to use that program. Tell everyone who uses CP that it bans your site (And possibly list some other blocket sites), what type of content your site contains, and what a bad blocking program that must be (If it blocks your site, which contains no questionable information, it may block a lots of other non-questionable information, and may not block a lot of questionable information). Perheaps tell them about some other blocking software that does not block your site (If such a blocking software doesn't exist, tell them that).
This system does only prevent anyone not having those glasses (glasses aren't unique from what I know) to view the content of your screen. And I'l bet everyone you want to hide it from will wear a pair of those glasses...
A better solution (That does exist, but not for the public market, from what I know) is glasses with a built in projector that projects the picture onto the back of the eye-globe... No one except you can see what it projects, and you can get as large picture as you want (A 2m^2 screen at a distance of 1.5m, or any other size and distance).
This type of proxying was not what I meant (I think either of us missunderstund the other). What i meant was that the local gov., or a company, hires busses/trains&drivers from the buss/train-companies and then acts as the only public transporter (Monopoly, that's why it shouldn't be a company; a private monopol is worse than a govermental, but in this case, there is a need for a virtual monopoly). This does not imply any taxes or subventions for neither those traveling by bus or by car, nor for those walking. It just makes it easy to travel from point A to point B, you just need one ticket, bought from one seller. Who does actually own the buss and employs the driver becomes unimportant.
I', living in sweden, and here, there is a solution to the problem with a huge set of concurent train/buss companies: The local government buyes transportation from these companies, and sells it to the public, i.e. acts like a proxy and coordinator, which makes it possible to buye one month-ticket and go by all trains/busses for a mont. Could something like this work for Silicon Valley too?
I think there's a difference there; to integrate similar functionallity, or dissimilar ones. To integrate the cache, the DMA and interrupt controllers is another thing than integrating a network och grafic card, into the processor. The first is good, the second is evil while it leads to a uppgrade-all-or-nothing case. Anyway, if this comes true, and NIC is a part of the processor/Chip Set/Graphic card, how do I ever add one additional NIC to build a firewall/bridge?
And if you start looking for files with a copntent looking like an mp3, people will compress and/or cryptate their files. Protection and regulations are allways one step behind freedom and crime.
Ok, so they put a generator in the keyboard. But as much as normal lusers (and all those designers, too) use their mices, wouldn't it be good to put a generator into the mouse? At least, it does not harm if the mouse is a bit harder to move; you'l be steadier on your hand...
Note: If some company atempts to patent this idea later on, this post may be refered as prior art. This idea should be free unlike the keyboard-thing... Oups, if it isn't allready patented, I mean...
I'l wait to buye something like this until it has a "touch-screen" like the Palm Pilot. I want the same Graffiti as on the Pilot, but to be able to write directly in the document, not just in a dedicated area. And I want no keyboard. Oh, upsi; thats a laptop morphed with a Palm Pilot!
Now we're finnaly able to implement the computers used in the book "Enders Game" (Read it? It's _good_); Just put together one of these with a 14" TFT-screen with the press-sensitivity of a Palm Pilot, and you're there! If I had the money, I would hack it (And if I had the time, I would hack my favourite idea UI for Linux, too and run on it, too).
DOSKYE does the job in MSDOS Anyway, that's just a functionallity of COMMAND:COM, but DRDOS had a huge set of very good utils; Task-Max and others, which MSDOS never had.

Penguin Pets

Isn't the hormone emitted in the breath of the penguin? Then you could put the penguin in an isolated room, leave it there for a period (So it will calm down). Then you test the air in the room for that hormone, stressing the penguin and testing again... That, I think, will give accurate information on how stressed the penguin is.
Yes. But whats lacking is a possibility to find out what the data type of that data chunk really is, to be able to interprete it correctly. One way could have been a MIME(-like) encoding... Anyway, The commented text says multi-datatype handling allready exists.. Oh, and why doesnt netscape permits copy/paste of pictures?
I have four considerations: I did not like that you were unable (at least from what I figured out from the screenshots) select packages to install. You were only able to select minimal, normal or full installation. It looked like it was impossible to have the installation wizard to mount/usr,/home or/var as separate partitions... Or, at least, it did not mention that in the helptext showing up in the wizard. I think the best config. is to have a small root-partition, and have/usr,/home and/var to be their own separate partitions. It is easier to recover if somethings get wrong with some of the fs's. The look-n-feel is quite Windowsy, but that may be a feature ("Linux is as easy to install as Windows!") The litle game of Tetris during the installation is a cool idea. Instaed of showing advertisenments, as the Windows installation does, it lets you play a game. Much more fun! "Not only is it easier to install, but its funnier!". Finnaly, I think I stick to an installation that provides some more freedom!
Altought not any programs using dynamic linkable libraries. These often has support for the way that's done on Linux, BSD, Solaris and some other UNIXes. But since the support for this is not standardized, it doesn't work under Cygwin. Anyone who know of a way to emulate the way any of the UNIXes/clones does it with DLLs under Cygwin to be able to run things like PostgreSQL and the like?

Fifteen Years of X

· Score: 2
1) TrueType fonts may be used. You need a (free) program named xfttf (I think, or xfsttf maybe, I've forgotten). It runs as an X font server. 2) The "disadvantages" (except cut-n-paste) of X, according to that text, is, what I think, its advantages. The lack of a built-in window management is good. To allow externa font-servers is good. The only bad with X is the clipboard. I like the mouse-bindings for copy/paste, but I sure do not like to only be able to copy and paste text. I really hope someone will hack a generic clipboard-functionallity. And not only in GTK or Qt! A _generic_ on! But I may be just dreaming...
That would not be the free way of doing it. The work would not be free textware. When FSF does it, it will... Oh, anyway, check out http://www.opencontent.org, they have a license they promote appliable to content (Not source). Perheaps the docs should be released under that license, or is it to restrictive (So GPL is better)? Any lawyers around here who can interprete the document?
Pirating is illegal. Yes, it may be a stupid law, but laws are to be followed. Even stupid ones. Because if they are not, the good laws wouldnt neither... Stupid laws and monopolic companies should be fighted in other ways; demonstrations, voting, strikes and other legal actions. If you need software and do not have the mony to buye it; search the net for a free program, or create one by yourself. Pirating and spreading what other tries to protect, just enlarges the userbase for these closed programs, resulting in more of them. Just stop pirate Windows, and Windows will die by itself.
I use a CD-RW writer as backup media. Works pretty fine, but I havent figured out yet how to make tar create multi-volumes when I have to pipe it to the cd-writer-program... But its nice to be able to put the CD in an ordinary CD-drive and tar -xvf/dev/cdrom... Someone have a acript or idea to make multivolumes?
Distilled water idoes&i lead electricity, however very bad. This is due to that some of the water molecules (1 in 2^14?), works as three (What is that in english? In swedish its Joner, an atom with some extra electrons or some missing electrons), one oxygen and two hydrogen... So theoretically it could damage the idea... But in practice, I don't think it matters...

These are ideas for features I want to see in this program (I may, perheaps, contribute on some of them):
Resizeing of ext2fs partitions (Resizeing is allready supported for FAT partitions...)
Partition seek. The ability to seek for an existing file system (ext2fs) on a disk, to recover from a corrupt/overwritten partition table.
Moveing of partitions from one place on the disk to another, whithout losing data (Perheaps to another disk too).
