Is there a visible moving part that you could just take digital images of at intervals and use some visible, machine discernable marking point to calibrate a monitoring program?
I recently recommended that a friend buy a thinkpad to support his budding municipal planning/consulting business.
To show him how well Linux compared to Windows on the desktop since he'd last seen it, I brought along my Knoppix 4.02 disc with some tweaks on my thumb drive.
He hadn't been able to connect to anything wirelessly in the neighborhood with the default windows install, and when I rebooted, the knoppix disc got him online immediately post-boot.
While this won't solve your problem, it WILL give you a solid example of Wireless Linux that you can then install and configure when you reboot to your normal distro.
OK already, I'm prying my tongue out of my cheek as we speak!;-)
BTW I only implied that those few microseconds gained by the increase would bring the rotation within tolerance, thus, perhaps, pushing our leap-second out to 2010 or some such date. Just to clarify, I gotta read this nonsense before I post...
So has anyone related this to the tsunami-spawing quake in the indian ocean?
Credible news reports reported a speeding of the earth which could bring this shoddy old planet of ours within the tolerence of our atomic clocks...
Dang disorderly universe.
I'd have to disagree- yes there are scams, but they're the same as those posted on the classifieds or on a community cork board.
Look at what % of transactions that ebay handles and what % of non-commercial transactions, then look at the resulting ratio of fraud complaints from that diluted # against fraud complaints in any major city's classifieds. This smells like a retail troll buying/. time.
I've been screwed more times by major US retailers (once) in tehir own stores than I have on Craigslist in 2 years of relatively vigorous use.
The scams on craigs can be detected (using your brain, fellow citizens...) without leaving your home, which is far more to say than retailers like frye's, compusa, bestbuy, etc.etc. etc. that still hide behind loss-leaders and bait and switch tactics, screwing you openly in their bricks and mortar outlets...
My $2 says the poster works for a retailer.
If you're dumb enough to buy without skepticism, then Wal-Mart wants your zip-code, and already has your last paycheck.
How many people going to are going to hack for credit cards when it costs 9 years of your life?
If you're dumb enough to pause at that question, good f$&%ing riddance.
I think letting these guys bend over for bubba extensively is a solid disincentive for people to steal with computers. 9 years-that ought to keep them, and a whole bunch of the other morons that would otherwise follow from plaguing society...
Or, they be bubbas bitch - try to phreak yo way out of that.
Rapid temperature change is what you need to watch for - I used to run 486-PII machines in unheated buildings in Minnesota all the time, ambient temps over those winters and in my area (central) got as low as -40 (that's Fahrenheit and Celsius - the scales cross there...) no troubles that I can recall.
and I only had to worry about dust from the shop - BTW, under no circumstances put your box near anything that grinds metal! That's a real quick kill.
Slashdot Mirror
finally hitting the floor anyway?
Had to ask.
And galoshes...

And invite all my friends.
I'd do that for you folks, cause I'm a 'giver'.
I noticed that a Background Check ran on the other SSN/Name would have likely come back clean.
Why would a nefarious person steal another nefarious person's identity?
So your background check is pretty much worthless in your scenario.
I work with the SSN and identity establishment at billion dollar companies, the reason they don't crack down harder is that they basically can't.
Their records are shoddy and processes arcane and out of date!
Ya gotta get management that can read people - and keep the bonuses/gadgets flowing!
-Actually, thats is EXACTLY what the post is claiming...
Bullshit.
She purchased a guaranteed slot on a guaranteed (within reason) 60 mph late on a privately managed system that runs on a public right of way.
She should expect to be traveling in her auto at a rate within ~15% of what she paying for or lobby for privatization.

I Too, find myself in the process of building a new computer system.
Congratulations!
I just looked up, and to my horrror I have a sand dollar sitting in the empty space above my CD drive.
My grandfather's funeral notice is in there too...
"...can our personality be used as an advantage in management?"
No.
Remember - we don't HAVE personalities.
Now where's my dang pocket protector?
I find that large amounts work pretty good for dementia too.
At least near-term dementia.
So there, mr. big britches!
Oh, butt out, Gillian.
By his logic, I could demonstrate how easily say, my splitting maul could compromise, say, his skull. Wouldn't I be doing him a favor?
Then I could exclaim, "see you aren't ready for this! you can be exploited."
I'm always amazed at bright coders that cannot wield simple logic in meat-space...

What is the difference between DRM and spyware?
How could DRM work without inherently 'spying' on the user/victim?
That the world's religions will have their armageddon - and it will be entirely of their own making and have nothing to do with the divine.
It sounds all computery. We should change it to Walter.

Now I just need something interesting enough to talk about to merit the install :o

You weren't fighting drugs, you were fighting a$$holes that may have been on drugs.
You id'd the problem when you pointed out that the parents had an easier time buying off the children than parenting post-orgasm.
Humans do stupid things with all sorts of things - we need a war on stupidity, not inanimate objects and substances -

Um, QA.
QA could help a bit.
QA Guy - "Uh, Bob, seems I can't fit the test address book with it's 15 entries on the device."
Bob the Manager - "Good to ship then! Outstanding 'QA' work, what did you say your name was?"
