They already said that the palette for 256-colour displays was drawn from a pool of 16,776,216 colour.
Actually the 'classic' VGA palette is 256 out of 262144 (6 bits per color). When True Color cards came out, ATI came up with CoDe (color depth Extension) which was truly 256/2^24. Others soon followed.
So it's even worse: you got the 256 color drivers that support 8bpp palettes and the older ones that only go to 6bpp. ---

Has anyone written a tool that inspects a public key received by a keyserver and reports if an ADK is in use and whether it's been tampered with by adding the ADK outside the signed key region?
That would seem like a good way to prevent any 'infection' of our keyrings by tampered ones cat newkey.asc | adkcheck | pgp -ka
where 'adkcheck' would strip any 'tampered' keys from its input and holler about it on stderr. ---

The first OS would be some program whose prorammer said to another programmer: "Here, load this in front of your code, I've alredy coded function X, all you have to do is call it". In other words, it's the 'wheel program' (as in reinventing the wheel)
Anybody know who invented the wheel? Me neither. My guess is that every manufacturer of hardware came up with the concept more or less at the same time, out of need, and independently. We'll never really be able to pin it down.
OTOH, who commercialized the first OS is a different question, and my money would be on IBM. ---
RANT... we don't get the Cartoon Network because the CRTC thinks that outlawing american DBS will 'save our canadian content'
So our only hope is to start writing letters to TeleToon pointing out that "TCN in USA is doing Anime, why aren't you???"/RANT

I went to my homepage with it, and the links and pictures came through just fine (including images I am loading from places like weather.com).
Right. If you try accessing an 'allowed' site, it'll work just fine, the IMG links aren't being blocked. Also, are you trying to access 'restricted' content thru a filtering proxy? ---
Works nice, but it doesn't translate the links. Therefore all pictures are broken, and any link clicked will take you to the nice "access denied" screen of your favorite censorware. ---

Last march, Canadian astronaut Judith Lapierre almost walked out of a long-term space station simulation experiment when a drunken russian astronaut started making passes at her.
Is this the kind of crap we can expect from Destination MIR ?
