My friends sister once gutted out a dead monitor and managed to shape various internal parts into flowers and little bees and such then she arranged them in the monitor to make the monitor look like a picture frame with the flowers and such kind of popping out of it. It was really neat.
A friend of mine once rigged a Braun waterpick (you know those water things that you use to floss your teeth) to water cool a Pentium 1st gen. He got it up to about 256 Mhz from 100Mhz. He basically just used the water pick as a pump and he epoxied tubing to a piece of plastic that just happened to fit perfectly over the heatsink. It ran fine for a few days until his roommate decided to try to get a little more umph out of it by dumping ice into the water storage tankof the water pick. Needless to say the condensation burned out the motherboard after about 5 minutes of running.
I have a couple of ideas on how this could be handled.
1. Have the government pass regulation that cable providers, can't own the lines. Then have all the lines operated by the government. The cable companies could then lease line time. This seems a little bit Communistic, but it would solve the problems of cable startups not being able to afford running their own lines. Although it is not very technically feasible either.
2. Screw the Cable TV industry, have all cable companies just offer internet access, then let the networks stream all of their stuff over the web. Then the consumer can decide what to subscribe to and the network can screw us directly.
Squeak is a type of Smalltalk. In fact I am fairly certain that it follows all of the standards set forth by Smalltalk/80. Sorry I don't mean to flame but I just thought that you all should know.
How about a keyboard made out of a gelatinous electronically adjustable material. So that it can adjust key positions and heights based on the users typing style. The surface would be like a flexible lcd so that it could display the key labels. Then on top of that add the ability to switch modes and the keyboard will adjust everything for that mode. Oh and it has to be backlit like the new Mac laptop keyboards.
An over simplified version of this would be a standard keyboard with lcds on each key so retards like me can remember where the darn keys are in Dvorak but a standard person could switch it back without all the hassle of pry up all the keys.
There are a couple of problems with mining the moon. As humans remove material from the moon and take it to the Earth. The gravity of the moon diminishes and the gravity of Earth increases. This could cause lots of problems. Two of which are:
1. With less mass the moons orbit would decrease until it collided with Earth.
2. With less gravity the moon would not have as strong of an effect on the tidal patterns of Earth.
If you all don't see the problems with these then something is seriously wrong with you.
I hope that the Chinese plan on replacing the mass that they remove from the moon.
The only thing I would like to say is that you have presented people with a challenge to disprove creationsim without any sort of knowledge as to what you think creationism is. You seem to jump topic and switch arguments and viewpoints anytime someone is anywhere close to disproving it. I personally do not have the time nor the skills at debate to take you up on your challenge, but I would like to see you nail down your beliefs, if that is what you call them, so that someone can pick them apart. I would also like to point out at least one of the times that you did contradict yourself:
"Faith in God is not blind but based on solid evidence,...Of course, I believe that the existence of God can be proven."
"Evolution and creation are not scientific - I never claimed that they were."
Both of these are excerpts of your, Tyreth's, posts.
I will admit you do not directly address that evolution or creationism are scientific, but it is implied that you think creationism is scientific. Since Creationism is based entirely on the existence of God, and you seem to be able to prove the existence of God, then you are saying that creationism is provable. Science dictates that things are proven. Nothing in Philosophy is provable that is why it is philosophy and not science. So therefore it seems that you are saying that creationism is science and not philosophy. Thus in your later post you contradicted yourself.
That is beside the point though. All I want is for you to pin down you definitions of creationsism and evolution so that everyone else can know where you are coming from. If you do not then your argument is completely pointless because without proper background on your viewpoint no one can either believe your nor disprove you.
So I challenge you Tyreth to a simple task: Clarify your viewpoints and definitions. Once you do this don't change them or else your argument is invalid.
I attempted to post this same announcement about a month ago. My post was denied but when someone else (even though he is one of the people running the site) posts it it gets up. I would like to say thank you to/. for steeling my 15 minutes of fame.
Thanks guys
I could have been a contender... I mean slashdot poster.
And Palm III's
maybe even something that will down load the data to PC then HotSync it to the Palm. I unfortunatly live where there is not wireless and I have not sprung for a palm modem yet
I am working a Bachelors in CS and working as a Systems Administrator here at USM. Sys admin is ususally quit challenging and is not what some people are making out to be that all you do is change paper. I admit it does have its down times occasionally but those are so far and few between that they are a welcome relief.

It is actually women's underwear that makes them more susceptable. Satin undies and nylon panty hose are huge sources of static.
Just my 2 bits.

The iPod uses almost the exact same UI and the Neuros, I wonder if Neuros will have to license it from them.
It looks like they are trying to patent the idea of hiarchial trees. Which have been around a very long time.
Go ahead mod me down I don't care.

I really like the Gel idea though.

The real question is: Are the advertisers complaining or is it just Turner that is upset?
This has some similarities to the RIAA court battles. The RIAA has a problem with loosing money and most of the actual artists could care less.

I wish they would get something like this for a 3 com Palm Pilot. I just spent $180 on mine.
