In the old days there was a system for AMIGA for storing data on VHS tapes. Quick googling finds this: http://www.hugolyppens.com/VBS.html
They claim a gigantic storage capacity of 85MB of data per hour of video:)
I've done the exact same thing. After using Unity for a couple of days and hating it I've installed Gnome 3. I've expected it to be great, it was a great disappointment. Thought about installing Mint but decided to give Debian a try instead. After several hours of tweaking to make it just right (mostly upgrading to wheezy (testing), font tweaks and theme) I'm in love. I don't think I'll ever use anything else.
Having played Miami Chase on Amiga before GTA on PC I always thought that it was greatly influenced by it to say the least. Were you guys even aware of Miami Chase?
Why do you think it's a security theater? I'm sure some implementation of email obfuscation are weak and there are already bots that can harvest for example someone at example dot com or similar, but stronger techniques should be able to fool the bots.
I remember having a lot of fun playing Frontier on my Amiga. It's the only game I've played that has a realistic space flying physics. For example, if you come out of the hyperspace at some 1000km/s , the fastest way to slow down is to turn around and fire the main engines. I also loved manually landing on space stations. First you get to the star system, navigate to the planet, get to the space station (monitoring the relative speed to the station so you don't slam into it) then find the docking bay, sync your rotation to the stations and slowly float in.
You could have bought a USB->Parallel cable. My LaserJet 5P (which I found on the street in 1999) works perfectly fine with it under Linux. I haven't tested it under other operating systems.
I remember constantly having a right arrow image imprinted on my thumb and now being able to play because of the blisters. This is indeed old condition.
I've recently discovered automysqlbackup.sh. It took 4 minutes to set up and now it happily backs up all my databases to the local disk and emails them to me. It's brilliant!
The human eye is very sensitive but can we see a single photon? The answer is that the sensors in the retina can respond to a single photon. However, neural filters only allow a signal to pass to the brain to trigger a conscious response when at least about five to nine arrive within less than 100 ms. If we could consciously see single photons we would experience too much visual "noise" in very low light, so this filter is a necessary adaptation, not a weakness.
Wings is one of the best games I have EVER played. I remember reseting the machine as soon as it was clear you're going to die, so it doesn't save your profile:)
I also have a router in my bedroom, my only room actually (student) and besides the 10 LEDs on it, there are also several on the laptop, speakers, cell phone and a really strong light on the power strip. My solution was to paint over each LED with a black CD permanent marker. It doesn't block the light entirely so you can still see it if you look at it directly but no more mini-Vegas at night. It also needs a periodic update as it seems to fade when exposed to direct light (always). The power strip received several layers of masking tape but I don't mind since it's under the desk.
At-rule for matching on site/document URL. Among other things, this makes site-specific user style rules possible (Great for changing it.slashdot.org's color scheme!)
Crap! Now, I have no excuse left to write custom css for all the sites I visit frequently.
It works with multiline inserts too. It can be configured to insert signatures automaticly or popup an window for you to choose which one to insert when you press send.

Actually, it's the other way around. Check your facts.

Human eye is actually able to detect single photons but we're programmed not to notice them unless they are above a certain threshold.

It was probably a Neodymium or a Rare-earth magnet. The primary geek source are old hard drives, but there are many places to buy them online.
There's a great tool called Nocturne, you should check it out.
Check out activeCollab.
You just need to realize that it's a word composed of two other words: ressourcen, meaning resources and hungrig, meaning hungry.
Just as you surround yourself with the most important scrolls and start scanning, the battery in your laptop decides to explode, starting the fire.
Would that be Kryptos?

It's a funny video to show to your friends and test their visual perception.
I've found about it through growabrain: White Shirt Experiment
Here's the actual video (Java Plugin required)
since today is The International Day of Peace.
Yeah, I hated that.
Just set the browser.xul.error_pages.enabled to true in about:config and install the Show Failed URL extension.
I'm still annoyed by the login dialog in Firefox though. Why can't I switch tabs when I have to log in in only one of them?
First, set the browser.xul.error_pages.enabled to true in your about:config. Than, install Show Failed URL Extension.
That should fix things like this.
