It was accurate for me (I'm red-green blind). The way my opthamologist explained it to me years ago, the difference in appearance is dramatic. I don't think the monitor being a little off would make much difference. Of course where your eyes are concerned, you want to check with an M.D. I don't think too many people get past the First Grade without this being diagnosed. Coloring green dogs is a dead giveaway. (btw, my dad still has a green ceramic dog I made him in second grade. Looks fine to him too.:)
Trust me, you don't want to give up the ability to differentiate red and green. You find out you are color blind when people keep insisting that bricks and dogs are not green when (to you) they very plainly are. Extra-spectrum? I'd be delighted if somebody'd whip me up a custom-engineered virus to hack the sensors I've already got into working order.
All this reminds me of the time I broke into my company's web server (NT). The boss had changed the PW and forgotten the new one. I offered to 'try' to get in for him and he gladly accepted (there were witnesses). He stepped out of the room for about 5 minutes to take a phone call. When he returned to see how I was doing he was shocked to find it was already *my* box. He said, "Guess I better change the password now." I just smiled and replied, "Why bother?;)" He was suddenly very pale so I spared him the evil laughter.

ls/home
Geez, I can remember back in the day, we used to use/etc/passwd whenever we wanted a bit of text to test a program/printer/whatever with. The reason we used it is because it's a well-known file that has text in it. I'd be hard-pressed to give you the name and path for any file on my NT box that I'm certain is there and contains only text (don't say c:\autoexec.bat: its size is 0).
What's out there that can seal up and hide massive directories tighter than a drum?
Scramdisk for Win9x & ME (free). For NT, 2K and XP you need the non-free Drivecrypt (same place). But if you just need to keep the kiddies out, the access control in NT/2K/XP should be sufficient.
I wanted to control the lights on my tree via X-10 too. Didn't get around to it this year (except off/on of the whole thing like many other devices in my house). Anyway, here's some things I came across:
The Karma Cap(TM) is a heavy cast iron pot that is placed over the head of any slashdot user whose karma hits 50. This prevents the user from racking up any more karma (even if the user can touch-type).
Too late, I already forwarded the contents of my deleted items folder to you. I figured 237 spamagrams would really get you started.:)
Some great material there, let's see:

You get the east coast stations (at night, yes?) because there is nobody else on that frequency (at night) and it bounces off the ionosphere. Your "nearby" station may very likely be using a directional antenna system (many AM stations are required to) that doesn't cover your area. Typically these small stations are required to drastically reduce their power or shut down alltogether at night. You may have a lot more interference (dammed lights) around 900kHz too.
Radio propagation is way too complex to generalize about higher being better. Within the range you mention, they should be about the same.

They did, it's been in the OS since Windows 2000. It's called Indexing Service. Most people never learn how to use it, though.

Radio advertising? I don't have any numbers, but I can't imagine that one out of every 400 folks who hears a BMW ad rushes off and buys one.
I'll second the endorsement for spamcop. Turning spammers in to spamcop seems to be the way to get on the real "don't send" lists.

Considering the server is right there on the tree, controlling it via the parallel port might be the way to go.

But all of these old CDs will be available from your favorite server, so you might be better off putting your money in the financial sort of CDs.

Hmmm. My kids are about that age. Maybe I'd better check the specials.
