structured navigation: u, n, p take me, respectively, up a level, to the next section, and to the previous section. My understanding is that html gives the ability to express that kind of structure but that most browsers don't currently provide a convenient user interface for it; so maybe that'll change some day.
Galeon supports mouse gestures for this. Left-down is previous, right-down is next, and up-left-right-up is table of contents. These gestures use link rel tags, if present.

I couldn't use my Acer USB portable ATA hard drive enclosure in 5.1, but it works great in 5.2-CURRENT. Just an update for anyone that was having trouble with their hardware under FreeBSD. 5.2-RC1 panic'd when detecting my RAID, but 5.2-RC2 (as well as 5.1) with ATAng works great.
However, USB 2.0 (EHCI) is still not supported (to try it, add "device ehci" to your kernel configuration). This makes using portable hard drive enclosures under FreeBSD less than optimal, as transfers go at the slow 1Mbps of USB 1.1 instead of the much faster USB 2. No one seems to be working on ehci.c at the moment; Firewire portable drives currently seem to be a better option for support under FreeBSD.
The 89 doesn't have a qwerty keyboard, but someone wrote an interesting program for the 83: QWERTY. With the QWERTY Text Editor, you can flip your calculator on its side and type as if it were a normal computer keyboard. Perhaps the author of PedroM should adapt this functionality.
Requiring the sender to use their own CPU cycles to encrypt messages is a classic variation on the "micropayments" approach to reducing spam volumes...
Which all sounds quite nice until you realize that it's a price that drops by 50% every 18 months or so.
I can't be bothered to look up the source, but I read somewhere that someone is working on a memory-bound solution, rather than CPU-bound. Since memory access speeds do not accelerate at the same rate as processor clock speeds, this should work better as users upgrade their systems.
The internet is not running out of IPv4 addresses at the rate predicted in the early '90s, for a number of reasons, including NAT (whether you like it or hate it) and the simple fact that not everyone who wants to browse the web needs a publicly routable address.
However, a growing number of Internet users need a publicly routable address to take full advantage of peer-to-peer networks. NAT is the bane of P2P.
Others have posted valid IP addresses, but I'd like to point out that in URLs, IPv6 addresses are often enclosed in square brackets (to use another poster's box):
This syntax was adopted when it was found that the colon in the IP addresses conflicts with the colon used for specifying a port number and a login/password combination. Mozilla already supports it IIRC.
This isn't very practical for large ISPs with limited IP addresses. There simply are not enough ports available (65536). If I'm hosting a web site, mail server, playing games, and sending files on P2P networks, I may need at most 10 ports -- multiply this by 10,000; and someone is going to have to sacrifice 34 thousand ports. If I'm running tons of servers, I'll need even more open ports; and this port-forwarding kludge soon becomes infeasible.
Abating the IP shortage is a major reason to move to IPv6.
When a 24x CDRW drive costs less than $100, when blank CDR/RW media can be had for $10 for a 50 pack, when even USB/SCSI/Firewire external CDRW drives are available for less than $200, japs still use MO drives.
WHY?
Because its jap. They love the feeling of backing up their data to a MO drive. They love to pay close to $500 for an external SCSI, IDE, or USB unit. When your PC doesn't have a SCSI card, you buy the most expensive SCSI card so that you can connect the MO drive to it.
But best of all, you buy a new PC with CDRW drive built in, and you STILL special-order a SCSI card and an external MO drive. Now THAT is true idiocy
The Japanese may have the last laugh. MO's last longer because of the air-tight media, and can withstand about a million rewrites according to the article, while CD-Rs can only handle about a thousand. I don't know who needs that many rewritings, but the reliability and longetivity of magneto-optical drives sure is attractive.
I used it to impress my girlfriend by showing her my parrot can accurately reproduce 2600MHz sinewaves.

i'm not that good with the 2600 case because i stopped listing to there off the hook show,(i live in the tristate area i get it live not the streaming crap)
As an avid OTH the user, I highly recommend the show to keep on top of what's going on in the world concerning your rights and topics concering hackers. I agree the streaming isn't all that great, which is why I download unstreamed MP3s. Not only that, but I also make them available on Morpheus. Specifically, the filenamess like
2600 - Off The Hook - WBAI 99.5FM - WBCQ 7415kHz Shortwave - NYC 8PM EST
I'm not sure if any other users are sharing 2600 OTH shows, but hopefully they'll become more downloaded (and therefore more downloadable) as the law continues to step on our freedoms.
I'm eager to find out what Goldstein has to say about DMCA 2 in OTH 11/27/01.
SONICblue reserves the right to automatically add, modify, or disable any features in the operating software when your ReplayTV 4000 connects to our server.
For more information on ReplayTV 4000, see the official site. Interestingly, it's the only networked digital video recorder with broadband connectivity.
On a related note, be sure to check out the FCC-ID Number Search page. I used it to find out my Logitech Cordless mouse operates on 27.045MHz. Could be great for van Ecking arbitrary devices.
It seems as if most of the discussion around trinary logic is if it should be done. Authors cry, "Why doesn't anyone use trinary?!" yet don't even explore trinary themselves. Fortunately, someone has.
I'm talking about Steve Grubb of Trinary.cc. His website has everything you wanted to know about trinary logic.
Interesting to note there are six unary gates: invert, rotate up/down, shift up/down. I independently verified every one of the 27 unary functions can be created using those six.
More interesting is the binary operators. Min analogous to OR, Max to AND, XMax to XOR. There's even a Mean and Magnitude to average and compare values of two trits, respectively. It's not all theory, though.
The problem with base 4 is that 4 states do not naturally occur. Electrical states are negative, neutral, and positive, of arbitrary voltage. Four states would require a window detector. With base 3, you don't care about the voltage - only the polarity.

The original poster is quick to dismiss after-death experiences without considering them scientifically. Absense of proof is not proof of absense.
Most topsites already require the client to identify with identd (port 113) before port 21 appears open. Similar to port knocking, but more standard.

Heck, Steve even has tested schematics of trinary gates. Too bad they're so complex, I expect something simplier is possible.Yet, chip manufacturers won't budge. Until trinary is more well-researched, I don't expect them too either. As Steve Grubb said,
