Downtown Portland uses a somewhat adaptive timed signal system. When there are no events in the grid (ie, normal traffic flow, no transit trains or bridge lifts), the signals change at a rate that you can hit every green if you make the first one, maintaining a speed of 17-20 MPH.
If a light rail train enters the grid, the grid retimes itself by a couple of seconds as the train asks for its signal to be changed on demand (the operators have buttons to request signal changes and gates to go down by stations on the line).
If a bridge lift occurs, traffic parallelling the Williamette River gets longer green lights, allowing traffic to cross the traffic waiting for the bridge to go down.
why not the US Domain Registry? NSI keeps your domain, so does USDR. The difference? USDR is free, and has humans behind it to help prevent problematic squatting. I'm probably going to take a stewardship on ursine.portland.or.us before long.
But you know, Time, US News and World Report, Newsweek, they're all old media. They don't get it. Newsweek gets close occasionally, but they all miss the point. Katz doesn't.
As I understood it, it wasn't that.us namespace wasn't wanted, it was that it simply was a pain in the ass to get a hold of. And *technically*, com, net, and org are US specific, but ever since Internic was turned over to private companies, nobody has really enforced it.

Oh, come one guys, Katz isn't that bad...he's a great author, even if he misses the finer technical points. The guy watches out for the geeks. Yet you spurn him.
I know many public school districts have magnet (aka opt-in) high schools with the district's best teachers (ie, ones who work well with the students, and know intimately many subjects), teaching thier curriculum with a specific focus. At School of Science of Technology in Beaverton, Oregon, the teachers know quite a few subjects, and what they don't know, they have students do independent studies into specific areas.
Taking advantage of this, I talked Mr. Hamilton (the philosophy, history and computers teacher, who's vastly knowledgable in all three) about getting a Linux club and class going, got the club going, and about a third of the students in the Computers class executes thier studies on the Linux cluster I started.
Inside the building, we have our own TLD,.nrst, and two domains: strut.nrst for the technology recycling program and the main Linux cluster, and beowulf.nrst, for the small Beowulf cluster we're trying to pull together (If you've done this on Debian, please email me).
My recommendation: See if your district offers a tech school and transfer out to that. The plan will be much more well recieved.
I've had a situation when I intended to move a file to my Windows partition before I rebooted to install something, but forgot to do so, so I had to reboot twice to go get it and install it. And another time I've had a file when I was using windows that I wanted to copy to my ext2 partition at that moment so I wouldn't forget to later.
I discussed this with a few people at lunch today, and we unanamously decided that the BPL would be best. It gets the point across who owns the project, yet keeps it public.
I'm willing to put the term AFK more about the end of the BBS era, around 1994 or so. AFK was fairly well known on the large chat BBS's here in Portland. Nirvana MUD, which was Nirvana IV LPMud at the time, had a command entitled AFK that would output Playername is away from keyboard.
I would trust John Q Hacker for this reason: Look how many people went through all the loops and got a high degree in CS or Technology that work for Microsoft and how many go do thier own independent projects to run on various platforms. Dr. Torvalds is only such because U. Stockholm(?) thought Linux was pretty damn cool. Before that, Torvalds was basically another John Q Hacker.
However, I'm not saying that higher education is A Bad Thing, I'm just saying that how much education you have isn't necissarily a reflection on your programming ability or trustworthyness.
Go read the Jargon File FAQ. Eric already answered this, the ansewr is no. Its too much work for it to be made into a diff due to complications with what they use to set it.
I host a low bandwidth mirror at http://ursine.dyndns.org/jargon/, although tuxedo.org's server is the main one. I was under the understanding that jargon.org had better bandwidth.
Well, I ran my Casio over with a bicycle a few times (by freak road accidents) and I never broke any buttons. However, the cover is made of rather brittle plastic, I broke mine after only two years of abuse. I have four graphing calculators now, three TI-82s and one Casio fx-7700. The Casio is the oldest of the ones I own, and most reliable.

Casio makes a $30 graphing calculator for the geek on the cheap. They're fairly reliable, but they start becoming significantly inaccurate when the batteries start getting low. They're a little bit of a pain to program, but I've seen Doom run on them, so they can't be that bad.
For the price of a TI-82 you can get a 16 color LCD panel, which could be handy.
Hey, think about this, companies writing proprietary software, like Microsoft, have probably set the computing industry back about 20 years in the micro market. Anything we can do to prevent things from staying propriety is a good thing and will actually cause technology to advance. Think it through before you say it, man.
This is a very good point. However, Im thinking something along the lines of a distributed Google, where its pretty hard to doctor it (short of a script that possibly could get locked out IP wise due to hammering). This statement was made under the rather wreckless (but possibly true) assumption that Google finds what you're looking for by using other people's successful results.
One idea would be have a centralized authority have individual machines scan for sites ala distributed.net to expand existing databases. Would this be possible?

Fanta can be found in most supermarkets I've seen (PDX area) in the generic foods isle for cheap.

You may have Red Hat 6.1 on there, but I doubt Linus plans on releasing Linux 6.1 until at least 2014 at the pace they get released...
