Yeah, I thought about that after I posted. Hard to track hurricanes, map lightning strikes, and predict tornado touch downs with personal weather stations.
There's already something similar to this. Weather Underground collects and displays data from personal weather stations. You can also access historical data from each location. Take a look at this page for an example. All they would have to do is provide a web service to report the data. If enough data is provided across the country, you could develop a distributed computing application to build weather models based on that data to forecast. But even today you have current conditions. Sure there will be pockets where stations don't exist, but as word spreads I bet they get filled. Lots of people with an interest in the weather and an always-on internet connection would be willing to buy a simple weather reporting station.
Your system won't go down when you lose a drive. You can run without the extra parity drive. But if you lose another drive whie running like that, you're pretty much toast.
Oh, and to reply to my own post, from the article:
"Coded electric signals ignite propellant embedded within each specially designed bullet."
So, you don't generate the power needed to propel a bullet, it uses the potential energy of the embedded propellant. So you're off by a lot more than a factor of 15 as far as needing 5 power plants to power a gun.
You're assuming that registration stays at a flat rate. What do you know you can buy today for the same price 100 years ago? Or even 10? You're also talking about $131 in one hundred years from now. That $131 will most likely carry close to the same weight as $1 does today. Compare what $100 buys you today and what it bought you in 1904.
*sigh* That's why they put quotes around native. They are recognizing that Java isn't exactly native, but it's better than using a win32 emulation layer.
It looks to me that they are getting Notes to run on Linux without win32 emulation:
Stefan Pettersson, technical manager for IBM's Lotus division in Sweden, said that there will be a Java client of Lotus Notes some time during the second half of 2004. This means that the first "native" Notes client to run under Linux will soon be available.
People tend to forget that X10 is a communications protocol designed to send signals over the 60Hz wave in your house's wiring. The X10 Home Solutions Company does not have exculsive rights over the X10 protocol. It's like naming a company TCP/IP. If you'd like to buy home automation devices and not support this company, a simple google search will bring up many companies. I've used SmartHome's products before and have been happy with them. Hell, even IBM got into the game for a while until that part of the business spun off into Home Director Inc.
I can only comment on what I see, which is all my Yahoo contacts and the ability to chat with them.:) Maybe there's some more advanced protocol changes that need to be tweeked, but for just chatting, everything seems fine from my end.
I'm not sure I understand your statement. I wrote that I installed Gaim from CVS. I'm sure they did make changes to the protocol in the latest files. Those latest files aren't in an official package, last I checked. But the compile and work with Yahoo's new protocol just fine.
I grabbed the latest Gaim files from CVS after the 24th, and I was back up and running with no problem at all. Thank you to all the Gaim developers for their hard work!
Haven't you heard the song?

Haven't you ever heard that song by Loverboy? Pig and elephant DNA just won't splice.
According to Garry Archer, who's played for both English and American Football/Soccer clubs, soccer is an English word merged from "rugby" (or rugger) and association football. Take a look at the full explaination: http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~pstone/why.html
I've found that when you shop at a place that works on commission, you can haggle the price a bit. Since the sales staff makes the difference anyways, it gives you a little leverage depending on how much they want the sale. You can also deal directly with the person on the floor selling it to you instead of asking for management approval for the price discount. Both my friend and I have haggled higher priced items down a bit at Circut City. But like any good negotiation, be prepared to walk away if it doesn't go your way.

That looks like a great solution. Pair it with this, stick it behind a wall, and you're golden.
I've been using TurboTax over the web for years, works great with Firefox under linux. Why isn't this an alternative?

Oh, they aren't limited to the US either. Here's the list of stations in Germany for example.

From the article:
"Bullets stacked in the barrel fire at rates of up to 60,000 rounds per minute, even a million in certain multi-barrel configurations."
So you're off by a factor of 15 in some of your numbers.

Is that good, or have I become out of touch with non-geeks?
