The local medical examiner here in my local town is an archaeologist with some major papers and discoveries under his belt. Plus he teaches archaology at the local comunnity college. He has been doing all of this for the last 15 years.
The Small rural arts town in southern Oregon did this. They made the Ashland fiber network. Provides Internet access to homes and businesses plus cable TV. It is all community owned. See http://www.ashlandfiber.net
The guys how build this have a day job. They build the mini subs that are all acrylic bubbles. Their mini sub is rated for 2000 - 4000 ft. They use one of them to explore Crater lake in Oregan that is 2000ish feet deep. So they know how to make acrylic bubbles and dome ports.
I was in a hurry to post the pictures. I have changed the page. Hope it helps. I will now go back to my bucket of legos and work on the CD changer/ duplicator.
You know nothing of the proteus aircraft that is used for this operation. It is built by Burt Rutan's company Scaled Composites. This is the guy who built the voyager airplane that flew around the world non stop. And it did it with small prop engines. The Proteus uses similar design with high efficiency turbofan jet engines. The thing can lift 15 tons of cargo and stay in the air for over 10 hours. But the down side is it only travels at about 150 to 175 mph. Slow is ok for this application though.
Simple. The Church of greed has been know to use real shaky legal grounds to raid and confiscate computer hardware from people they don't like. That would be the real end of slashdot...

I personally want a Space based laser to shot them all with...oh that was an x-files episode...
You Never used a newton did you. You tapped on the screen to place the insert marker and the could use the whole screen and the input. The newton os converted your writing to text from the point the marker was at.
nothing comes close to the newton gui. Make a linux based gui that looks and feels like the newton and put it on the ipaq hardware. Then you have the sweet machine.
How about the British people. Talk about a public relations nightmare. Oh yeah we invaded sealand cause some US company wanted us too. That would go over real well with the voters. The PM in the UK is not well liked by the working class.
They can't sealand is a country. It would start the erosion of all the international treaties related to communication. What next cut off france cause they sue AOL. It would never happen.
use web based email though ssl/https. The bonus is that your email boxes are stored offsite. And if can find it use chat clients that support ssl or the like too. Fight the system without them knowing.
Ah, the apple Newton and Sony magic link both had web browsers on them and supported several wireless options. Lets see there was modem cards for cell phones, the metricom system, and one or two other wireless cards. All of this was PRE april 1998. The newton was killed before then and the sony magic link died way before that. So Geoworks can go jump off a cliff.
The reason they needed to port ATA to the newton was to support better media. Newtons had wacky requierments on the media types you could use. All the current PC-card media in one way or another require some support of ATA.
Now that they have ATA MP3 will not be far off. The newton would rock as an mp3 play for my car...
IT is called side scanning sonar. New york police use it to look for drugs packed into pvc pipes straped to the bottom of ships. It works pretty well.

They should have. You drew something right? You could frame it and hang it on the wall? It was ART! Code is the same thing. I once made some code for a robot that was only a few lines long and was simple in how it handled the problem that other had thrown hundreds of lines at. I consider it ART!
You might have lost some of your rights to copyright your designs due to the fact that you did the work for the airplane manufacture. This is an issue with alot of people if they come up with an idea at home on their own time if the company has rights to it or you. I my self don't sign any contracts that don't let me do my own things on my own time.

Your fast forward button is malfunctioning... or the commercial is obsolete like a trailer for a movie that already came out... just a thought.
So I am sitting here at home reading slashdot on my home machine and also logged into my osx machine at work via SSH. While it is only a terminal window I can still fork with anything on the machine I want too. I am currently learning where everything lives. Now I use the MacOS, Linux, Solaris, and NetBSD everyday and I know that it took time to figure out where each of them put things. OSX is same yet it makes much more sense. Now why didn't anyone think to put code libraries, preferences and the such in the System library before now. Things the need to be executed at startup in the startupItems. Wow that was hard to figure out. Applications in the applications folder. Ahh. And by the way they don't have to be in there. I have my personal apps in a folder in my home directory. If I put them in the Apps folder then if someone else logs in a the console the don't see them.
If people have a problem with a feature or interface gizmo get off your ass and fix it. That is why apple released this as a BETA.
I think after everything is said and done people will still hate it because they are predisposed to hating anything Apple makes. Kind of like people hating what Jon katz writes because of the fact he wrote it. But that is another story.
Subject: Notice regarding PayPal's Palm software
We wish to inform you that X.com will be discontinuing support of the PayPal software for Palm (TM) and Handspring (TM) organizers approximately three weeks from now. With the growth of wireless Internet applications and the rapid spread of web-enabled PDAs, we feel that we can best serve our customers by focusing on the creation of new features for our wireless payments platform.
Your online account will not be affected when we discontinue the Palm support. However, you will no longer be able to synchronize your Palm software with your online account.
X.com strongly recommends that you first synchronize your organizer and then immediately uninstall the PayPal software. (To remove the PayPal software from your Palm organizer, please consult the "Removing applications" section of your Palm manual.) Also, we request that you no longer "beam" the PayPal software on to other Palm users from this time forward.
If you would like to learn more about using X.com on your web-enabled mobile phone, please visit our website at https://secure.paypal.x.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/g en/mobile_phone-outside.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you, and we wish to thank you for using X.com to send and receive money.

I'm Sorry to say that their service will not allow you to use Quicken any more. You will be forced to use Microsoft money from now on. In fact you will not be able to use any software other than what microsoft gives you. But this may not be a problem. They will soon buy your favorite software companies. lizard boy Buy Mac, Buy Linux, Buy Be, Just don't buy Microsoft.
So let me get this straight the only good bands out there are bands that came from nowhere and suddenly have record contracts with the big record companies. They never played some shit hole club while working a second job. Oh wait there are those genetically engineered boy bands if you like them. And what is it with "Making it big" Is it playing stadiums or selling out 1500 seat halls. What? What does it even matter to people who just love to play good music. I know of local bands that can and do sell out the 1500 seat halls. But they don't have a record contract so you won't care. And as to being around along time. I saw this little band play the Red Lion Inn many years ago. Back before the internet back when word of mouth was word of mouth. The lead singer said " This is a new song that we may get recorded on an album. We hope you like it." It was Dream Boat Annie by Heart. And by the way you can download Mp3s of their current side project The Lovemongers off of emusic.com
Okay mister fucking clueless. MP3.com is the startup venture capitalists. They do help. I personaly didn't like the layout of there site so I found other sources. I am in the tech industry but don't make alot of money. I can setup a hell of alot for local bands in my area with little cash up front. For under a hundred bucks we burn CDs with nice printed covers. They sell them at shows for a few bucks and make some extra cash. They tell everyone at the show to goto their website and download what they like. Plus they post to all the larger MP3.com type sites and see people the never even heard of them start calling to buy full CDs and ask were the can see them play. It can be done and is being done. So when you have a clue about something go help a local band that needs alittle tech experience. Its fun.
Actually selling recorded music has only been around for little over a hundred years. Before that artist only got paid for performing. The reason people are into music so much now is becasue of the way they can access the music. Access has thus lead to learning about new music that then leads to purchasing of something be it tickets to a show or a record. There is a reason people steal the lack of funds. I know this from personal experience. Why would anyone shell out $20 to see if they might like a cd form someone the have no clue about. Or look them up on the net and listen. THIS has lead me to purchase more CDs then I ever would have. lizard boy
