Courtesy of Mike Pilone and DCOP, KDE has had this for a couple of months: Gesture Recognition for KDE. Not just Konquerer you can control either. The project is here.
Only if you happen to be browsing resting both hands upon the keyboard. Personally I prefer to sit back and just use the mouse in one hand, switching back to the keyboard, positioning both hands is just an inconvience at this point. I can happily browse with little use of the keyboard with just four simple quick guestures in Opera: open new window from a link, close window, forward and back, whatever. As for RSI, personally Im more held up trying to remember not to wack the keys and thus damage my joints.
Whatever, personal preference and frankly I find it more intuitive.
But through dialing are you not replicating said work and publishing it through the telco's system? Might be amusing to hear media interests backpedalling and claiming fair use.
Certainly. Its odd how a change of title and a little correction of grammar can alter the tone of a text. Hmm perhaps though I should really learn the correct use of semi-colons though, sorry if the syntax was awkward.
"...The Stasi collected data on four million East Germans, roughly one fourth of their population. Yet they failed to predict the fall of the Berlin Wall because they invested too heavily in data collection and too little in data interpretation and human intelligence..."
SSTL's nano/microsatellites might play a role here. SNAP-1 manouvered about a couple of satellites taking snaps, Its due to rendezvous with another SSTL sat soon, one of its potential roles could be tagging/deorbiting junk.
Popups can be disallowed with some browsers, though I haven't yet seen anything which allows you to filter only window.open (as opposed to all JavaScript) on a site-by-site basis....
Take a look at Konqueror 2.2.1. You can globally deny/accept window.open, or specify a pop up box to set the policy for the site on first encounter.
With increasing talk of the envolvement of Irak, it seems that may be the threater where revenge (however justifiable) is enacted, Afganistan will not and can not be a conventional war.

BBCNews have covered this,
which also forms part of one of their 'indepth' news anaylsis.
They also have a link to Stanford where their president has issued his responce.
A little obliquely off topic: I certainly agree with the sentiment, however its a rights issue apparently. As far as the solicitors of the BBC and the production companies are concerned, Realplayer clips arent considered to be of production quality, thus less of an contractual issue or whatever
Perhaps not the most sophisticated measure but its still interesting to note how latencies etc picked back up to those normally seens over normal work hours for a little while.
Given the audience, what might be at hand to the average professional programmer, sys admin etc. might not be the most useful selection. Perhaps some of these (in the order dig them out off the heap on the shelf):

I understand now, thankyou. Oh well, hopefully this rather clever but flawed wheeze will generate some interest in the news somewhere.

Just spotted this too: Revealed: British plan for Afghan onslaught
With increasing talk of the envolvement of Irak, it seems that may be the threater where revenge (however justifiable) is enacted, Afganistan will not and can not be a conventional war.
Just been reading todays Guardian, another item: A conflict like no other seen before
The Guardian a few days ago had an interesting item from a former SAS member sent there:
"We were there to assess their fighting capability and to retrieve Soviet equipment. It was 1979 and the Afghans were fighting a superpower with tactics they had used against the British before the first world war..."
Ho hum, not that anyone seems to be too fussed anyway but here is the correct link to the JPL news item. Good luck DS1.
Heres what I was just about to submit:

Its the BBC webmaster/legal team whatever that needs to hear that, not I.

Its not cheap, I seem to recall such a set up in the $10,000 range. No doubt if you're willing to spend more even greater levels can be achieved.
