I think that if someone were to develop a mysql storage system, either to be stored locally on the client side or server side (server side beig the optimal choice), it would be the Next Big Thing in email. Of course, deciding which of all of the hundreds (thousands??) of non-standard headers to store may be an issue. But I would love to search my inbox using a few simple mysql queries.
There's actually a bit more to this than "how to put a webcam image on a website". There's low light levels. Audio. Methods of viewing in house and out of house. Cost. Expandability.
I agreee, VNC would not work for security reasons (I don't want to open VNC to the outside).
It's not to watch the baby sitter. We don't even have a baby sitter yet. Heck, we don't even have a baby yet. Anyway, how are the X10's in low light? Anyone actually buy one? Anyone willing to admit it? I almost think I'd be too embarassed to buy one only because of their advertising.
Watching the baby sitter is definitely an important reason why I wanted to set up the camera, but I was also looking to use while the baby was sleeping and to have a quick and easy way to see if she is OK. We probably won't be having any baby sitters for a while, but I do know that every time she (yes, we know "she's a she") makes a sound in the middle of the night, my wife will want to go to her room to see what's up. The camera could make life a lot easier. Also an important quality will be low light level operation.
What is a "Standard Bluetooth Receiver"? The only ones I have seen so far are the USB dongles. I have a wireless USB keyboard (Gyration), so maybe if you have a USB dongle bluetooth, then maybe it would work??? I have to admit, I'm surprised.
I don't think it is necessary to turn off all HTML rendering, but I do think it is crucial, and absolutely necessary to turn off all script execution by outlook. I don't use lookout, er, I mean, outlook, but my wife does. How can I turn off script execution, but keep html rendering?
Based on the fact that this virus/worm/whatever has so much sophistication and polymorphs itself, does anyone have a good procmail rule that will catch these? I have tried egrepping the body for Patch[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].exe but I am worried that I may lose emails from security groups that I subscribe to. What's more, the filename may change.
According to Linux Magazine, April 2003, page 64, "Red Hat has just gone into the black with a small profit of $300,000 on total revenue of $24.3 million. That makes Red Hat, by my count, the first Linux company to actually make money." - Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols.
I put mine in a cabinet above my tv. I don't hear the fans at all. I have heard about some people using larger fans that rotate slower. There's some mention of them at avsforum.com. Check it out.
I get no spam in my mailbox. Not a single piece. First my server catches most of it, then if it gets through, my procmail grabs what's left.
Of course not that I have "challenged" everyone here, I am probably about to get tons of it.
But seriously, I think the problem with spam is education. Watch where you give out your email. Read those web forms carefully. Quit with the "FW: FW: FW: This is so cool!" emails. They aren't interesting, or cool. Stop sending online greeting cards. They are only in the business to collect email addresses. It's really not that hard.
Yes, I think that is it. I was looking at the TiVo article today and I got a stinkin' VISA Gold popup. I am using Moz 1.2.1. And I have "Open unrequested windows" turned off. And I was surfing directly at the nyt site.
I was wondering, do I need 1.3 or the alpha 1.4 to get around them?
I just posted a reply to the TiVo thread about how in the world did NYT figure out how to get around Mozilla's anti-popup settings. NYT is definitely using popups, and they are getting quite militant about it. Looks like "same 'ol, same 'ol" to me.
I'm 1.2.1. Does 1.3 block it? Or do I need to get the 1.4 alpha?
I can't believe I am going through this much trouble to block one lousy popup. When are people going to get the hint - we DO NOT LIKE THESE POPUPS AND WE WILL NOT BUY YOUR PRODUCT -- FOR THAT REASON. It's the same for me with telemarketers. I won't buy from them for that same reason.
I have also felt the same way about my TiVO. I feel like I have broken the shackles from the schedule. I don't know what times certain programs come on, because I watch them when I want to. Now, I haven't gone and convinced anyone to buy one, but I have always spoke positively about them when people asked me about mine. I had not realized that TiVO hadn't advertized in two years.
Off Topic (tm), but how did NYT figure out how to make a popup activate under mozilla? That (VISA Gold) was the first popup I have seen in months! Moz guys, you need to look at that code some more!
I took an Engineering Ethics class when I was working on my undergrad at Auburn (War Eagle!). Anyway, I remember one particular anecdote quite well. The professor wasked the class, "Would you say air bags in cars are good or bad?" Most of the students agreed that they were good. In fact, they have saved thousands (millions??) of lives. No question about it. However, it turns out that the average cost for hospitalization has increased during the same time frame (not just inflation--they realy have gone up). It seems that for accidents where people were usually killed (pre-air bags), the lower body injuries have become what are keeping people in the hospital. And more people are having life-long paralysis as a result of those accidents. Now, most would still agree that being alive is still better, but it turned out that there was another side to the coin that probably wasn't completely thought out.
Static IP, 1500 Mbps, they don't care what servers you run, they don't care if you NAT, they don't care if you run Linux. There are ISPs out there who do have restrictions like these. Check the TOS. And a decent price to boot. I guess I'll be looking for a new ISP.
I have the domain pelorus.org. (I am in the Navy and "pelorus" is the general name for a piece of navigation equipment that we use. There are many different manufacturers of many different types of peloruses. See my web site for more details.) Anyway, what do I have to do to make sure that no company comes along and forces me to give them my domain? I am not marketing any products - I just like the name. Btw, there is a pelorus.com that sells naviagation equipment.

In other related news. Cablevision, who own Voom, said yesterday that Voom would be shutdown at the end of this month. Good timing.

Yes, this one is my first one. Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

How does the computer recognize the bluetooth keyboard before the operating system has loaded? Can you adjust bios settings with that keyboard?

Doesn't look like that much money to me.
Download a copy of Linux and rename it Windows?
Keyboard all the way.
Of course, REAL geeks wouldn't use either. Voice, or telekinesis would be the UI of choice.
I just got through seeing this on TechTV and was going to submit the story, but I guess I am too slow. :)
Anyway, here's a TechTV link

I don't have a signature line.
I also saw it at SIGGRAPH 2000. Absolutely hilarious. I really think it is their best work ever.
