Dude, sign me up for some Anti-dust. My house in the desert gets so frickin' dusty, so quick, I need me some of that Anti-dust stuff. I clean the damn air conditioner filter every other week.
The New York Times Magazine cover story this week is a (typically) long feature about the rise of comic books and graphic novels into mainstream culture, with writer Charles McGrath (former editor of the Book Review) stating: 'Comic books are what novels used to be -- an accessible, vernacular form with mass appeal... perfectly suited to our dumbed-down culture and collective attention deficit.' McGrath cites...
With an expected cost of around $500.00 (depending on the configuration), will this low-power radar system from the 1970's really help make driving safer?"
It'd be nice it could be sensitive enough to see me on my motorcycle, unlike the red light changing sensors that can't.
The Targus sport backpack is great. It's been to London from Phoenix twice and I use it on my motorcycle every day for my daily commute. Still going strong. As is the laptop.
I'd design a system based on a vote registration protocol. This protocol would be subject to RFC and open. Then, I'd require that each polling station vote as follows:
There are two machines at the station, one for casting the votes and one for recording the votes. They are made by SEPERATE VENDORS and both understand the Voting Protocol (VP). Now, the vote casting machines are created to have an easy UI, and after voting you are presented with a machine and human readable reciept (a packet, if you will). The machine readable format is controlled by the voting protocol. You take this reciept to the recorder machine. It reads it in, asks you to verify that it is correct (a screen says you voted for Joe Bob for President, and yes on proposition 69), and if so it spits the paper into a secure bin and records your votes. Recounts, if necessary, are done on a third vendors recording machine.
This is essentially similar to what we do here in my area of Arizona. You fill out your ballot with a pen and then stick it into a little recording machine that records the votes and stores the paper for later recount.
This system would be open, verifiable and expandable.
Just so long as this new client prevents top quoting. Those that are detected at the act of top quoting should be subject to the activation of a stun-gun embedded in their keyboards, followed by automated photoshopping of their head onto a picture of some redneck sodomizing a goat. This picture shall replace the actual content of the email (as an attachment, damnit!) and sent to all of the intended recipients. If no recipients have yet been specified, the email shall be sent to the user's congressman.
Seed Magazine is attempting to bridge popular culture and and science. I've read a few isssues of the magazine, and the righting is a bit too edgey for my taste (like the recent article on João Maguiejo and the theory of Variable Speed Light. I'm gonna buy another issue or two to continue to evaluate it. I guess that means it's good enough, so far, to keep me buying it.
They mention in the article that they don't want to be associated with the mayhem of "razor" scooters. They should embrace the mayhem, create a Segway based event in the friggin' X-Games. Get some Sk8ter Boi to fly around in one with more powerful motors and baggy pants.
I'm sure my m4d sk!llz would get me more programmer groupies if it wasn't for the inaccurate portrayal of my profession in the media. For instance, I type with two hands and never, ever, randomly click a pen. I'm pretty sure these groupies would look like Famke Janssen, too.
Actually, it looks like Windows XP comes with some sort of IPv6 Support: A quote from Microsoft Research
Windows XP - In October 2001, the latest desktop edition of Windows was released, bringing the reliability and performance of the Windows NT kernel to a much wider audience. Every copy of Windows XP, Home Edition and Professional, has an IPv6 stack based on the research that we started, released as a Developer Preview primarily for application porting. The stack is very easily manually installed from a command line just by typing "ipv6 install".

No we don't have to worry about systems with time_t defined as a 32bit signed int rolling over in 2038.

Ooohhhh, Chocolate!
So "A paean in the ass" or "A [fervent expression of joy] in the ass" is indeed very different from "a pain in the ass."
Of course, the one could lead to the other.

15 months to get there? What, are they letting one of the blue hairs from Sun City (a retirement community near Phoenix) drive?
Give me an inflatable donut seat and a catheter baby, I'm there!

William Gibson's new book, "Pattern Recognition", uses google as a verb quite extensively.

Sheesh, what a crap article.
