Mozilla has an "up, next, previous, first, last, etc" set of buttons that you can use to browse an ordered set of pages. go to the magic cauldron for an example. The html listed below makes this work and (i believe...) is part of the html 4 standard.
great! now maybe the waitress will bring the katsup i asked her for. just advertise her tip-meter every few seconds to show the rapid decrease in funds.
great, now not looking in the eye of a drunk on the corner doesn't excuse me for not offering him a few buck. now his software will spam me until i pay for his next drink.
wouldn't it be great if they found that there was a last place, and that PI is really only 3 trillion places long. how do we know that PI will continue out forever?
that's right, we just need to brainwash all the "local" talent into working for free. we really need to keep them from realizing that they can make money.
if they don't know about the millions of dollars they can make by signing up with the industry big-wigs, we can get the music for ourselves -- free.
or we can just keep letting the real talent rise to the top of the charts whereupon some dude will buy the CD and burn us some copies.
I don't know what data centers you use, but getting extra power into a rack isn't difficult. This can be expensive, but if money is not a factor then power draw isn't a problem.
Cooling, on the other hand, could be a problem. There are ways around this as well, though. Open racks allow cool air to blow fully around and through boxes. Closed cabinets are usually open on the bottom and top to allow cool air from under raised floors to get sucked through the cabinet and out the top. Additionally, I have seen google's setup -- they use huge fans to help air circulation -- and they seem to have gotton around the heat problem.
Keep in mind that the most expense in colocation type datacenters is incurred by rack space. (note: In some cases wan links or bandwidth might cost more.) With that said, I'm not following why this is "pointless in most datacenters".
You can argue that the target market is government or research labs, but the points you mention don't help that argument.
minimizing still leaves the browser in the taskbar, and if you have a dark office, people may see the light level change. when this is noticed every time your boss walks in, rumors will start.
closing the browser isn't an option, as when i find good pr0n, i don't want to loose it.
finally, and most importantly, the grey-out feature helps disguise questionable material if someone happens to walk by. and you don't have time to close the browser.
There are 250 Million blank CDRs and tapes bought and used this year for copying music in comparison to 213 Million prerecorded audio media. This means the owners are only being paid for 46 per cent of the musical content.
This is not correct. Where is the proof that all 250 million CDRs are being used for music? Don't they realize that many folks use CDRs for backups of data and software? Heck, some people are also making clothing out of CDRs. Sales of CDRs are not indicative of music theft.
Where support costs on OSS really make sense is in a company where there is one geek that can manage several OSS products. If this fella is getting paid 80,000 per year and he can support many OSS products, your cost of support decreases. As he supports more products the cost per product drops.
On the other hand, in your case, there is one product that must be supported, and one person supporting it -- or there is only outside support. In your case, OSS software probably is more expensive than a supported, probably more intuitive product.
the news article found here is from 1998. I can't find prices anywhere, nor can I tell if it is still being sold. Anyone else have info on the lawn-bot?
although, now thinking about the reading during flight... LCD screens are nice, as the guy across the aisle can't see your porn. the soon-to-be-new screen is supposed to much brighter... wonder if that means that the viewing angle will be improved.
Looks like this would be great for a new tablet type computer. Reading books on this is easier than on a palm pilot, and since the technology uses little power, perhaps the batteries would last as long as the current palms. Another positive would be the slim size for reading during flights.
You can't use this to transmit any information or power.
if you have sensors at 4 locations on the moon and move your laser in a quick rotation, they detect the light one after the other and in order. if the sensors were hooked to the same computer with cables of the same length and material, wouldn't the computer be receiving 4 chunks of data in a faster than light succession?
Does this mean that we can transmit data faster than light?
There will be privacy as long as you have something to hide, and the patience to hide it. Any kind of obscurity based privacy can be broken as well, but when quantum computers come, this may be more protection than an encryption algorithm.
good lord... where were these guys when john bobbit was in need?
I would like to know how the doctors measured the "stiffness" of the bunny member after the procedure. What exactly is the "unit' of measurment used? I suppose they could use torque to see at what point the angle of the dangle ceases to remain static. Here are a few other methods of really measuring stiffness.
I'm glad that I didn't go into the medical field -- how do you explain to your wife or husband that you were playing with erectile tissue all day at the office.

This really exists:

man, that gets funnier every day.
yup... and we get more coffee breaks to boot. nothing more impressive than 10 contractors stopping whatever they were in the middle of for coffee.
I haven't seen anything like this (even without the rip-off economy system). Does anyone know about Linux friendly MMPORG projects?
sounds like gateway really needs the money anyhow. i still don't see how they can keep the stores open.
I hate when my cell phone or pager pinch me at my belt line when I sit down. wearable computers would hopefully keep this from happening.
a heads up display could be very helpful when you need both hands for driving, or shopping.
a hands free data entry system -- perhaps sub-vocal sound interpreter could let you change the destination on your GPS heads up display.
going the wearable route is the same as trying to make computing less conspicuous, less cumbersome, and easier.

next up: building a faster cpu with a few beads, a clothes line, two liters of oil, three watermellon rinds, two hirpins, and a potato.
since cellphones already kill your brain cells with nasty radio waves, adding more radiation shouldn't scare cell phone users.
for laptop users, we already survive cooked-leg syndrom, why not package the nuke-tops as a solution for those pesky unwanted child births.
a little cooked reproductive organ never killed anyone.

There is an economy of scales working here.
