This sounds quite cool, but I don't have any FC storage arrays or the "Fibre Channel Forwarder" they mention, so I would have to wait until they have the target written before being able to try it out.
I saw something like this on T.V. maybe 20 years ago. I can't remember where it was, but they were using it as an experiment to condition drivers to stay within a speed window. The theory is that if you drive too fast or too slowly the music will be less pleasant.
You never know, VMWare might like the idea of booting MS out of the market all together and keep Xen on the small end of the playing field and build tools to migrate Xen machines to VMWare machines. (I don't know if this exists already)
Well, VMware announced recently that they would support (or did in the latest version of VMware Workstation?) paravirtualised Linux (i.e. the Xen guest version of Linux.)
If you look at the structure of a TCP/IP packet, you will see two things that can identify you. Your IP address AND your hardware (MAC) address.
Rubbish!
MAC addresses are in things like Ethernet frames. There are no MAC addresses in TCP packets or other IP packets.
As soon as a packet goes through a router it will not have the MAC address of the original computer attached to it, unless it's using some sort of ethernet-over-IP tunnel or something similar.
If this was going on in an unclassified lab almost 10 years ago, I imagine that the best gov't computers today can easily Spot the Loony, or tank, or asian woman or nearly anything else desired.

"Rubbish", said the Professor, "we were doing that way back in 1982! Not only could WISARD recognise faces, it could tell you what sort of expression they had, too; whether, for example, they were smiling or frowning. We trained it simply by showing it examples of different faces registering different emotions, which it then stored to its memory. One of the earliest applications was to identify soccer hooligans."
"What? It could look at someone and say that his eyes were too close together and his forehead too low, so he must be a villain?"
"No, it compared input faces against a database of faces of known hooligans. WISARD also had commercial applications. We built a machine for recognising bank notes, and another that could sit on a production line and scan passing cakes to ensure all the cherries and the chocolate whorls had been put on. Basically, if you had the right training set, you could teach the system to recognise whatever you wanted it to."
I have a feeling that GIMP will eventually have an option to have the top-level menu in a toolbar, too.
It does! (Sort of:) Right-click on an image (or click on the little arrow in the top left corner) to get the menu. See that dotted line at the top of the menu? Try clicking it. There you go.
If you do that there are no icons for the options, but otherwise it's the same as a toolbar.
Of course you can do the same with any of the sub-menus you use often as well.
In 1995 at a small computer show where the company I was working for had a small booth, we had a Linux box running X and fvwm. Someone walked up to us and asked if it was Window 95:)
That space bar looks damned short! It annoys me how keyboards seem to get more and bigger "Windows" keys and things at the expense of the space bar. One one keyboard I kept pressing the right alt instead of the space bar.
Do you actually read your posts for logical phallacy or not?
Try fallacy.
and then run the intended OS of choice (MacOS) or Linux (LinuxPPC, MKLinux) or NT (NT3.5) or BSD (MacOS X, NetBSD) or... (that's called an elipse by the way)
Actually, it's called "ellipsis":)
I doubt you will have a flash freezing problem with these things. I have put my hand into liquid nitrogen during physics pracs (e.g. to retrieve frozen bananas;) It takes quite a while for a banana to freeze solid.
I suppose if there is a large enough pool of the stuff lying around after an accident and one of the people involved in the accident has part of themselves immersed in it for a few minutes, they might get frost bite, but I should think that is unlikely.
I'd be more worried about battery acid than liquid nitrogen.

While you're at it, there is no "e" in "than".
Oh, and there's an apostrophe and an "e" in "you're".
What? Nobody mentioned cfengine?

ummm... booyah? You mean this?

Or do you mean the word that in certain Nguni languages (e.g. Zulu) means "Come here?"
:)
P.S. Don't ask me how the Zulu word is spelt, but I'm sure it's not like that.
Try root@[123.123.123.123] rather, but that's no guarantee.
hmmm... That looks a hell of a lot like Prolog.
This is quite old, but still interesting.
See the following article from New Scientist for more info.
Er... that's nothing new :)

Heyyy, I didn't realize that 'ergonomic' now means 'shrinking the space bar down to three key-widths.'
Indeed. Bastards.
That space bar looks damned short! It annoys me how keyboards seem to get more and bigger "Windows" keys and things at the expense of the space bar. One one keyboard I kept pressing the right alt instead of the space bar.
The driver rogered "See you in Kapstadt," as he signed off.
Just to be pedantic, that should be "Kaapstad"

&L1 or &L2 etc. are for analogue leased line mode. Most modems do not support analogue leased line mode AFAIK.
An example of a modem that does (2 wire leased line) is the Microcom 28.8P. The Microcom 28.8 Fast+ supports 2 wire and 4 wire leased line modes.
This is off topic, though...

Go to gtk.themes.org and choose a theme with radio buttons you like.
You might want to look at the GNU Rope (a.k.a. grope) project. I'm not sure if it would help or not, but it sounds similar.
I don't know if anybody is working on it currently, but here's an article about it:

There is a free tnef decoder already. Search for "tnef" on freshmeat.
