And I was raised in the Metric generation, but kilometers are still not as natural to human perception of distance as miles are.
How do you figure that?
I don't think either km or miles are particularly 'natural' measurements.
I grew up in NZ where metric has been the standard since the early sixties and I find it a lot easier to judge distances in metric. Here in the UK I tend to underestimate distances which are usually given in miles.
The similarities with slit-scan photography immediately stood out to me as well.
For anyone that's interested, there's a reasonably good page describing the technique here and pages about it's application in the stargate sequence of 2001 here and here.
It's possible to fake the technique in Adobe aftereffects with the time displacement filter too.
The SunONE identity server is a fork of Sun/iPlanet/netscape's directory (LDAP) server product. Identity server used to be called SunONE directory server 5.1, Access Management edition. Hence, the latest version number is 6.
You can do this in Windows. I believe Microsoft even made it the default in one version (98? Me?), but have since reverted to the same old doubleclick style. It's still an option though.
It works basically as you've described. What I disliked about it is that to select a file you just position the mouse pointer over it for a short period of time. Good in theory, but I found that short wait to be annoying, and it made it difficult to efficiently select a large number of files using the control-click method.
I changed back to the old style after using it for about a week.
I believe Richie Hawtin has been using Final scratch for the last year or so. Furthermore, his latest CD "DE9: Closer to the Edit" is supposed to be largely mixed with it.
re: your comments on wireless mice and keyboards...
To be honest... I couldn't give a damn about a wireless keyboard as I have no real use for one, but... Wireless mice on the other hand are great to use. I agree with your comments about battery life though.
I reckon it would kick ass if you could get an optical wireless mouse with a cradle type adapter that recharges the mouse when you're not using it. I suppose the cradle could act as the RF/IR transmitter/receiver too... Anyone know if something like this exists?

Well... I don't really knokw a whole lot about about helicopters, but my old boss has his pilots licence.
My understanding was that in the event of an engine failure you had to dive pretty much immediately in order to keep the rotors spinning fast enough to give you enough lift to slow down right before you plow into the ground.
I don't think 'turning off the engine and letting it land itself' is a very good idea at all.
My friend at Globix was walking to a class at Sun Microsystems at the World Trade Center when the first plane hit. His view of the collision was obscured, and he was not injured. He commented:
I have just been speaking with Solnet, who provide Sales and support for Sun here in New Zealand. Evidently Sun's offices were on one of the lower floors, and all staff were evacuated safely.
No doubt many of you here have dealings with Sun so I thought you may be interested...
Yeah... I've bought it as Kratingdaeng too... In the the small glass 'medicine' bottles. I've heard that the active ingredients are in higher doses than red bull too, but as I can't read the bottle I can't tell for sure.
Does the trick though, and it's heaps cheaper. about $1NZ as opposed to about $3NZ for a can of redbull

There was a good post by a chemistry student on this subject on Dave Farber's Interesting People mailing list.

That's taint mode you're thinking of, rather than the 'strict' pragma.
It's documented in the perlsec perldoc if I remember correctly.

Relevant for who though? That type of system would be begging for abuse.
so....

I've been using EAC for the last year or so... How does CDex compare to that?
Yes that's correct your honour.... Solitaire is 'Integrated' with Windows. We can't possibly remove it without breaking the operating system.
