I listen to the BBC, Radio Netherlands, Cuba on shortwave in addition to the usual internet sources. I was able to get Al-Jazeera in Arabic but was hopeful when I heard that they had an english page. Too bad that short sighted people have decided to take it into their own hands to silence an important alternate view to the war. I hope Al-Jazeera can get up and running in the future.
As an RF/Microwave Engineer, I deal with the problems with RF interference daily. A recent article I saw online lauded the participation of ham radio operators in disaster situations including the World Trade Center relief operation. Imagine thousands of devices and gadgets emitting radiation on random frequencies, and you can see the problems that might arise in critical communication situations. The background noise level at HF frequencies is already very bad due to consumer devices. I would hate to see it get any worse.
Why purchase something when you can get it for free? Numeric Python and Python with SciPy have a huge capability. Thats not even considering all of the other add-on's for plotting and presenting data in Python.
I find it funny that all of these wonderful features are being added to a system that won't boot beyond 8G.
I've been having my own personal hell getting grub or lilo to boot this system on a second HD. My only success so far is to use the entire disk and then chainload it. Suggestions are welcome.
Ray Cross has an exellent program for designing helix antennas, using a spreadsheet for generating the segments, and then the ASAP antenna simulator for seeing the resulting pattern. His website is at home.att.net/~ray.l.cross/asap/index If you are really into this stuff, check out the Python ASAP code on my site. Rob.

COM= "component object model"
Programming the COM in Python led me to the realization that most MS programs are just wrappers for the COM. Thats why its so easy, for example, to embed Visio drawings in Powerpoint, etc, etc.
BTW, with PythonWin you can access the MS COM directly without even starting a program. e.g. I've used the Excel functions to bring up a spreadsheet, fill it with data, and then save it, all without ever calling Excel.
I use CFS on/home, so its just easy to tar up my whole home directory in its encrypted form, and then put it on a CD where I can take it into work, etc. No one will never have any idea what it is. It just looks like jibberish files with jibberish data. Hell, I could put 700Meg of p0rn on it, and keep it in the office at work:)

Model plane manufacturers had almost perfect replicas of the stealth fighters years before they were officially announced to the public.
Same for the SR-71, and many others over the years. These guys have really good contacts inside the military and/or contractors.
Of course I'm sure thats all illegal now and will get you permanently detained and/or dissappeared here in the US.
Thats what my nephew would have been required to write had he taken AP English. And it had to be in Microsoft Word because the teachers were too dumb or lazy to convert plain text.
I laughed and told him Einstein's theory of relativity would have fit in a smaller paper. But its just bizzarre.
When I was in school in the 70's I just typed double spaced 500 word essays for AP English. If school was really for learning expository writing, you could type term papers in Vi, Emacs, Nedit, or Ed. But no-one cares about content now, they just want fancy looking documents worthy of a marketing dept. (Oh, and put a bunch of fancy clip art and decorations around the paper to get that A+)

One of the coolest things I had ever seen as a kid was in middle school. One of the kids that was always being picked on, picked up one of those combo desk-chairs and smashed it over the head of one of his tormenters. No one ever teased him again. (Now that was back before the days of mandatory mininimums, Ritalin, etc, so be careful:)
I've installed OpenBSD about 10 times now, and I've always been amazed that they've kept the just terrible disk partitioning and labeling scheme for the install. Does the new release have any new features in that area? If not, please just steal some code from FreeBSD or somewhere! Then I won't have to use a calculator to do an install:):)
No, OpenBSD is unique. You have to plan for OpenBSD before you ever install a multiboot machine. The only way to get it to work is to put a small boot partitiion near the beginning of the disk. Unfortunately, thats not how most people end up installing OS's. First Windows, then Linux or something, then another OS, sequentially installed over time. I'd like to try OpenBSD, but I've put so much time into getting my -stable and -current FreeBSD partitions right, that I just can't redo the whole computer.
I've been wanting to install OpenBSD on my laptop but it seems like its the only OS that can't have its boot loader above 8Gig on the HD. This is a major shortcoming as far as I am concerned.

Freenet 0.5 Released

Yes, all of the $tology upper level stuff is on Freenet. Reading tt was a very enlightening experience. I've never read such wierd stuff in my life. And people pay 100's of thousands of $$ for this.
I recently bought a new laptop to I had plenty of room to try out Mandrake and Suse. Both seem to be excellent software distributions, with just a few faults. So I subscribed to the mailing lists. I found them to be a total turn-off. I am not certain why, but I just don't get the sense of community that I get from the FreeBSD people. So now I'm back to running just FreeBSD. Maybe I will give Linux another try. Am I the only one who has these feelings?
