I've also been trying to find a good distro that will run from a USB key for diagnostic uses.
Does anyone know if it's possible to have both Linux AND Windows based bootable USB key? Maybe partitioning it... I'm not sure. All the diag software vendors like Dell, etc. have software, but it only runs on Windows or in DOS, so that's why I'd like to have both.
I have been using WebCalendar for 2 years now without any major problems. It's a PHP based calendar that can be used on a MySQL, Oracle, Postgres, ODBC or Interbase type database. It's pretty easy to setup and maintain

Mambo in the middle at close second place, MUCH better than Post-Nuke and Xaraya. Their main website hasn't been doing too bad handling the traffic as of this post, so I guess we'll see how it is by the end of the day.
All of Nextel's bulky phones operate only on the 800Mhz band so if they FCC permits them to move to the 1.9GHz band, every one of Nextel's customers will have to get a new phone. Like most of the time, customers never pay full price for the phone, so Nextel would be taking another hit there. Also, moving to the 1.9GHz will put HUGE gaps in their current network.
Where are you getting that info? You're not *forced* to signup with SBC as your landline or any company for that matter. If you have SBC as your landline phone and sign up for combined billing, you CAN get a discounted rate. But, this is ONLY by your chosing. I wouldn't recommend it anyhow because Cingular doesn't handle billing and some other account related stuff.
Many large corporations still use Netware instead of the Microsoft alternative. CNN still seems to be very fond of it, they had a "Powered by EDirectory" logo on their website for a while
In 2000, Pearl Jam offered professional bootlegs of their concerts a few months after the shows ended; a total of 72 discs. They will be recording and releasing each individual show from the 2003 tour in its entirety as an official bootleg. Unlike the 2000 bootleg series, the 2003 bootlegs will not be available in stores. Once you've placed your order you will receive a URL to download unmastered MP3's of the entire show within hours of the show's real-time completion. The fully mastered double CD bootleg is expected to ship within 2-3 days if you've ordered before the show date.
Common! All they have is Microsoft, Cisco and the CompTIA certifications listed? Novell is used in many large companies, I wouldn't count them out yet. Thats a pretty crapy survey if you ask me.
From the CNN article:
"The system promises fewer computer crashes and will allow users to delete data from their hard drive."
So I'm guessing we can't delete files now without XP? Fewer computer crashes, I doubt it. Why didn't they just say, "You can use floppy disks"
Funny thing is, I had this exact problem with the AC31200 drives! I had one of these drives that lasted 4 months at the most and I went through 2 more in 2 months and a AC31600 in 2 months! 3 drives in 4 months was too much for me and I will not buy WD ever again! I wrote a letter and got a full refund from WD for the original price for the drive and was able to get a 6gb Maxtor for that price! I've been happy since then.
I live in the same city, and their Internet access is MUCH slower than RR. The cable lines are capped at 256kb for $40 a month! Ripoff! There are only about 3 T1's to feed the whole city. And, everyone that signs in doesn't have an external IP! All IP's are 10.x.x.x and 192.168.x.x!!! They don't even guarentee that you're outside IP will stay the same. It's not worth my money if you ask me.
Incase that link goes down, here is a copy of that article.
BERKELEY, CA -- David H. Bailey, chief technologist of the Department of Energy's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and his colleague Richard Crandall, director of the Center for Advanced Computation at Reed College, Portland, Oregon, have taken a major step toward answering the age-old question of whether the digits of pi and other math constants are "random." Their results are reported in the Summer 2001 issue of Experimental Mathematics.
Pi, the ubiquitous number whose first few digits are 3.14159, is irrational, which means that its digits run on forever (by now they have been calculated to billions of places) and never repeat in a cyclical fashion. Numbers like pi are also thought to be "normal," which means that their digits are random in a certain statistical sense.
Describing the normality property, Bailey explains that "in the familiar base 10 decimal number system, any single digit of a normal number occurs one tenth of the time, any two-digit combination occurs one one-hundredth of the time, and so on. It's like throwing a fair, ten-sided die forever and counting how often each side or combination of sides appears."
Pi certainly seems to behave this way. In the first six billion decimal places of pi, each of the digits from 0 through 9 shows up about six hundred million times. Yet such results, conceivably accidental, do not prove normality even in base 10, much less normality in other number bases.
In fact, not a single naturally occurring math constant has been proved normal in even one number base, to the chagrin of mathematicians. While many constants are believed to be normal -- including pi, the square root of 2, and the natural logarithm of 2, often written "log(2)" -- there are no proofs.
The determined attacks of Bailey and Crandall are beginning to illuminate this classic problem. Their results indicate that the normality of certain math constants is a consequence of a plausible conjecture in the field of chaotic dynamics, which states that sequences of a particular kind, as Bailey puts it, "uniformly dance in the limit between 0 and 1" -- a conjecture that he and Crandall refer to as "Hypothesis A."
"If even one particular instance of Hypothesis A could be established," Bailey remarks, "the consequences would be remarkable" -- for the normality (in base 2) of pi and log(2) and many other mathematical constants would follow.
This result derives directly from the discovery of an ingenious formula for pi that Bailey, together with Canadian mathematicians Peter Borwein and Simon Plouffe, found with a computer program in 1996. Named the BBP formula for its authors, it has the remarkable property that it permits one to calculate an arbitrary digit in the binary expansion of pi without needing to calculate any of the preceding digits. Prior to 1996, mathematicians did not believe this could be done.
The digit-calculation algorithm of the BBP formula yields just the kind of chaotic sequences described in Hypothesis A. Says Bailey, "These constant formulas give rise to sequences that we conjecture are uniformly distributed between 0 and 1 -- and if so, the constants are normal."
Bailey emphasizes that the new result he and Crandall have obtained does not constitute a proof that pi or log(2) is normal (since this is predicated on the unproven Hypothesis A). "What we have done is translate a heretofore unapproachable problem, namely the normality of pi and other constants, to a more tractable question in the field of chaotic processes."
He adds that "at the very least, we have shown why the digits of pi and log(2) appear to be random: because they are closely approximated by a type of generator associated with the field of chaotic dynamics."
For the two mathematicians, the path to their result has been a long one. Bailey memorized pi to more than 300 digits "as a diversion between classroom lectures" while still a graduate student at Stanford. In 1985 he tested NASA's new Cray-2 supercomputer by computing the first 29 million digits of pi. The program found bugs in the Cray-2 hardware, "much to the consternation of Seymour Cray."
Crandall, who researches scientific applications of computation, suggested the possible link between the digits of pi and the theory of chaotic dynamic sequences.
While other prominent mathematicians in the field fear that the crucial Hypothesis A may be too hard to prove, Bailey and Crandall remain sanguine. Crandall quotes the eminent mathematician Carl Ludwig Siegel: "One cannot guess the real difficulties of a problem before having solved it."
Among the numerous connections of Bailey's and Crandall's work with other areas of research is in the field of pseudorandom number generators, which has applications in cryptography.
"The connection to pseudorandom number generators is likely the best route to making further progress," Bailey adds. "Richard and I are pursuing this angle even as we speak."
For more about the normality of pi and other constants, visit David Bailey's website. The BBP algorithm for calculating binary digits of pi was found using the PSLQ algorithm developed by Bailey and mathematician-sculptor Helaman Ferguson; it is discussed at Bailey's website and also in the Fall 2000 issue of Berkeley Lab Highlights.

If they're putting even MORE restrictions on Napster, would hex editing the napster.exe to change the version number of older clients work? I feel they've got enough restrictions as it is already.
