Agreed. If you would rather psyche yourself out than actually be fit, that is what you will achieve. I think you need to focus more upon the goals rather than the means to achieve them; if you can figure out sufficient motivation, you WILL make time for fitness. I've personally lost over thirty pounds since last fall when I decided I was sick of being fat, and I did nothing special -- I simply started doing aerobics for about four hours a week.
It is amazing how superb a motivator it is to transform your body type and remind yourself why feeling fit is much more enjoyable than feeling fat. You don't need a special exercise program or even a "routine" as such. One day a week of doing a serious physical activity outside would work wonders, I'm sure.
Do a search for xsupplicant. For 802.1x authentication servers, check out hostapd which I've made work for OpenBSD and will for FreeBSD when I get the scratch computer up.
There's non-traditional phone service in the US, too. I use my land-line so little that I got a plan from Verizon for $6 a month ($12 after taxes!) which gives me local calls at $0.08 each for the connection, and for outside of the immediate area and within a 100-mile radius or so, calls for $0.07 a minute.
It is very good news to have another really great series appearing on Cartoon Network! I've just watched the first episode on it (I'm also on episode 50-something of watching the series on Chinese-originated bootlegs with abysmal dubbing). Unlike "CardCaptors", "Sailor Moon", etc., they have actually gotten one thing right: though the dubbed voiced may be... not what I'd like to watch, to say the least, they didn't make a mess of the names!
If they stay true to the series, this will be very good ^_^! I don't recall the first episode clearly enough to say whether they've cut anything out, but it doesn't appear so. The show does feature a very large amount of violence, so I imagine that it could be facing some of the same difficulties as Cowboy Bebop for censors. Will they be showing each episode, uncut, in order, and possibly doing it for more than the first season?
> Mmm, you have to be very careful when you code in [insert language here] otherwise you have a portability mess, and I don't find [insert reference to language's source code files here] very readable when they become large..
Doesn't that effectively mean that they _did_ release the source code to it? Run a disassembler on the object code and you have exactly what the developers had, minus comments and variable names. So what are people petitioning for, really?
No, it ate up about 6 AA's in four hours. That's only for people that were too stupid to realize that battery packs are the way to go. I just bought two battery packs for my Game Gear at FuncoLand for about $5 each, I think, since I lost the old one.
Linux is ported to the PS2 platform, therefore you _can_ in fact run Linux on a PS2 itself.

HFS isn't "alternative" and never was; it's always been "modern rock". It's the best choice available around here, and their concerts are the best.

> 3) If you're going to leave the drive unpowered most of the time, then you probably won't bother backing up because it'll require a shutdown, an opened case, a boot and another shutdown.
Why would you bother doing that? I just nearly toasted a few drives that have lots of important data on but had no back-ups, so I went to Circuit City and bought an 80GB ATA drive for $200 to back everything up to. I vowed if I could restore my system, I would devise a real back-up plan. Now, I have one:
1) Buy an extra hard drive bigger than the sum total of the existing local storage. This is cheap, very cheap, and as fast as any other possible backup solution.
2) Buy a lockable, power-switched caddy to mount in the system. I just got two off eBay for $30-some dollars, which means I can easily make yet another backup elsewhere if I install the caddy there.
3) Find a way to be able to make a copy of the filesystems in a stable state. There should be a way. For example, I run FreeBSD; this means I can create a "snapshot", a copy-on-write disk image of any given FFS filesystem, which will remain quiescent while I back it up, and allow the system to continue operation. At worst, you could revoke write access to all programs running on a given filesystem, remount it read-only, and copy it directly then.
4) When time comes to make a back-up, simply stick the drive in, power the drive on, tell your ATA controller to attach to it, mount it, and perform backup procedures for each filesystem. When finished, unmount the filesystem, have the ATA controller detach the drive, and power it down and remove it.
5) Take the drive somewhere else for off-site storage. Repeat with N more drives depending on level of assurance desired.
Simple, eh? Cheap. Fast. Do you know of any flaws with this?

I got a JVC KD-SH99 for extremely cheap here after a search to find a player with lots of features, a reasonable price, robustness, and sound quality. It works perfectly, handling all the mp3s I throw at it, not requiring any special file naming or imposing directory layout restrictions, and the remote control has a spiffy tree-based traversal of the filesystem on the CD (-R, -RW), too:)
For $300, it's got great sound (thanks to the nice DAC, nice internal amp, and nice parametric equalizer) and I have no complaints to anyone other than Circuit City for charging me $30 for the requisite snap-in wiring harnesses. I was highly skeptical about it since I couldn't get any real reviews of it, but I'm happy to say it has nearly everything I could want in a car stereo/mp3 player.
If you want to use it as a component to a larger system, btw, it also has all requisite pre-outs and both an RCA pre-in in the back and a 1/8" pre-in in the front panel.

I wouldn't mind if they released iTunes of some sort for the PlayStation 2 and I could either use some of my CDs to transfer mp3s onto it via the PS2, or maybe it would even (if it were a full-featured package) support ripping audio CDs directly to mp3s via the DVD-ROM drive as well, too. I wouldn't mind buying one of these if it had software to work with the PlayStation 2... otherwise, I don't especially feel like trying to hack together my own firewire drivers for the device so I can use it on FreeBSD, in addition to buying a PCI firewire card.
Oh, please. Microsoft's crappy browser has any domination on one non-Microsoft system at all (Macintosh). Who needs your "window of opportunity"? Mozilla will be used by the masses who run Unix, the ones who use it via embedded systems unknowingly, and hell -- Mozilla's going to be embedded in the AOL client, so you _know_ that if pure "market share" matters, it's going to end up having the most in the long run.
Mozilla is stable, fast, supports a hell of a lot of important standards correctly, and doesn't suck. Say that about any other browser if you can.
I work at NAI Labs, and to be sure, the US government does fund open source projects. You just have to want to work on fun security-related stuff to work for NSA or DARPA contracts:)

It was a pretty somber PGP all-hands meeting today; I didn't expect it, really, but I wasn't paying that much attention. TIS^H^H^HNAI Labs exists really pretty separate from PGP except for being part of that "business unit", and considering that we aren't "losing market share", costing the corporation money, or anything like that....
So, luckily, the NAI Labs section of PGP was exempt from all this change and will be shuffled around more, but we're still here =) It's a bit disappointing to see your company admit failures like this, even if it's for the best interest of the company.
It does say exactly where you are. It doesn't have as many significant figures as you seem to want but that does NOT make it inaccurate, just not as high-resolution.
A GPS is only accurate to 10 meters? Have you actually ever used a GPS, much less one that also has an external antenna? A good map of any kind can help, but a GPS (even a cheap one) does not have to be an inaccurate device, and can be simply much quicker and easier.
Considering my Logitech optical mice all work perfectly well on almost any surface, including my pants if I'm really strapped for space, I'm going to say it's pretty hard to have a situation that having a mouse is hard.
