A neat Evolution trick which threads together incoming and sent mail is to create a VFolder sourced from both Inbox and Sent, and thread this display. You can create several such VFolders, filtering on subject or sender/recipient. Then, at a glance, you can follow a message thread in which you were an active participant (ala newsgroup readers). The one feature I wish VFolders would implement: an option to include the entire thread of any message matched by the search options: i.e. thread-based searching in addition to message-based searching (e.g. "Any thread with a subject including 'Meeting').
The theroretical maximum of medium-format is roughly the same as the image in the article, full size - roughly 1 billion pixels of data
Theoretical, maybe, but certainly not practical. The most careful and unbiased measurements indicate that medium format offers no more than about 50 digital-equivalent mega pixels. That said, film does has very different photo-response properties than the CMOS detectors in digital cameras, and typically delivers larger dynamic range ("contrast"), but resolution is rapidly fading as an argument in favor of film.
Actually, the most recent Jan., 2001 update to the APSL to v1.2 has been addressed and even discussed here before. The bottom line? It still doesn't pass muster with the FSF.
I was interested in the magic of the number 196, so I computed the "palindrome yield" for all numbers up to 3000. I defined as a "Lychrel number" any for which no palindromic sum was found after 1000 iterations. Remember that the probability for a subsequent number in the series to yield a palindrome when summed with its reverse is.45^(n) where n is the number of digits in that number. At a depth of 1000, n~400, and the probability is ~1e-140!!! Of course, it's not really random, for why else could the number 89 succeed with a palindrome of length 13 (probabilitly 3e-5). However, as you'll see, we could have chosen a cutoff of 100 or even 30.
The plot showing the sequence of iteration-to-palindrome depths for each integer is available here.
The Lychrel numbers (iteration depth>10000) are colored red. Interesting, the maximum non-Lychral depth (number of iterations until palindrome) was 24, which occurs right away at 89 (try it, its a fun one). After that, the depths recur in similarly patterned blocks, with a typical spacing of about ~100 (or occasionally a very close spacing of only 2), and some interesting gaps. The first few Lychrel numbers:
My girlfriend's parents had Palm III's way back in the mid 90's for about 3 years each. They had worked well and been used hard.
Her father's began to show signs of memory corruption (random resets, etc.). Her mother dropped hers on the concrete and screen cracked. They put them in drawers and bought shiny new Palm V's. They gave the dead Palms (plus 2 cradles) to me to tinker with.
I took the removable ROM card from the one with the cracked screen, inserted it into the other, flashed the ROM to a recent version of PalmOS, and it worked perfectly. Now, three years later, I'm still using the same frankenstein Palm III, which is chugging along with my favorite Palm App, DateBook4, among many others. Occasionally I need to reseat the ribbon cable to the screen (useful if you have phantom gray jailbars), but other than that, it's working like a charm. Not bad for a freebee rescued from the garbage bin!
Just slap down your credit card and for only $22k this puppy is yours. A generation with vi users who insist on using the "5x7" font to squeeze more xterms on display would suffer from permanent squintitis, but eventually, high-resolution fonts would liberate us from this skullduggerry.

Can you spot the patterns in this sequence? The only thing special I can see about 196 is it is the first Lychral number!

Why go through all that compiling and Gnome hoo-hah? It can be done simply with just a bit of javascript:
i on();if(q)break;}if(!q){location.href='http://www. google.com';}else{location.href='http://www.google .com/search?client=googlet&q='+escape(q)}
javascript:q=document.getSelection();for(i=0;i< frames.length;i++){q=frames[i].document.getSelect
Just make a toolbar bookmark button with this as the location, and you have the exact same functionality, and save space on your gnome panel.
Actually, it's even better. You can order it now.
Why wait?

That's just not so.

And to get it all there we just need 380,000,000,000 bps of continuous streaming bandwidth.
About 250,000 T1 connections should do it. I'll call the phone company.
And we can just hang the cube-o-glass writer off of our favorite machine with a data bus which can accomodate .5 Terabits per second. SCSI-5 maybe?
The funny thing is, this was a story which leaked in a big way from the Themes group:
and they're not too happy about it.
