If space permits, you could use Synergy to control both computers from a single mouse/keyboard.
You setup the screens side by side, just like a dual monitor setup, but each is connected to his own computer. Install Synergy on each computer (OSS, there are Win, Mac, Unix versions). The computer with the keyboard/mouse you're using is the server, the other the client. You have then to inform Synergy of the relative positions of diplays.
When you move the mouse pointer from your PC to the client's screen, Synergy switches it from local control on the server, to remote control on the client.
Of course, you can't drag windows between screens, but the clipboard is shared.
I usually browse with comments with a medium-high threshold. When I find a thread that looks interesting, I middle-click the comment ID (the "#12345" link after the time in the header) of the top post of said thread to open it in a new tab. Then I change that thread to a -1 threshhold, Nested, and redisplay, to see the whole thing.
You could do this with a greasemonkey script which parses all links on the page, looking for those particular links. It then modifies them to add GET parameters (threshold, mode...).
I couple that with a PDA screen protector on the GBA SP screen. The GBA closes to protect the screen, but I had some old protectors laying around and they work great for this. Just cut them to size. You could do the same thing with the DS; if you don't have any, look on ebay for a discontinued PDA's protectors. You pay more in shipping then the actual item, but its still less than $5.
Brando makes IMHO the best PDA screen protections available : almost perfectly clear, washable, but somewhat difficult to apply (if you mind dust specks and air bubbles) (review). It is available for the Nintendo DS ($15, ouch). Shipping (HK to Europe) was very fast.
Remove the _t in th URL to get the full size picture. It's not very clear anyway, but it seems they have used a BSOD capture as a texture somewhere in the game.
It's been around here since 1969, and still used today in La Hague nuclear repocessing plant. You will find many details (in english) on the web site of the CEA(Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique), a governmental agency. They say that glass packages are guaranteed for millions of years.
I can also recommend foobar2000, which became my player of choice on windows. Contrary to iTunes, it plays everything (ogg, mpc, ape...). Contrary to Winamp, it painlessly manages huge (60+ GB) playlists, with a database with excellent searching capabilities, and a wonderful tagger. It's text based (no fancy graphic stuff), with scriptable display. The SDK allows 3rd party plugin development. For more information, and other high level audio info, check the Hydrogen Audio forum.
Besides Linux and Windows, you can also use FreeBSD, for which amd64 is in tier 1 (full support), along with i386. Other BSDs of course support it: NetBSD OpenBSD
You forgot to mention the price of a Xerox copier to backup your data regularly. And the paycheck for the clerk who programs your alarm clock to ring some time before appointments.
You're right, of course I'm joking. And I don't like very much the "joke signs" for the "humor - impaired". Humor, particularly irony, shouldn't need big red signs. That's part of the joke : was he _really_ joking ?
Funny you say this... Last year, Mu^H^HBerlusconi RAISED speed limits on highways, of course against the general movement towards increased road security (maybe to please car manufacturers).
The proposed voting machines are made by a Dutch company, they're called Powervote/Nedap. An Irish study seems to find them rather unsatisfying... Too bad the same machines were introduced in France last month.
Spam filtering needs to be applied to multiple E-mail accounts to work really well. The fundamental characteristic of spam that can't be avoided is that large numbers of similar messages are sent to different people. That's recognizable.
That's why spammers add random words to their messages, to fool filters based on similarity.
As a "frenchie", I obviously follow news on this subject. The french branch of the european FSF has launched a fund to help fight this forthcoming bill.
Since 1985, here in France, we have the right to copy media for private use. It is also possible for public & non-profit organizations to adapt existing media for disabled people.
As such, copy protected CD's are already illegal...
You will find some details here (link to frameset, check the link "How is waste managed" at the bottom of the main frame) about the "french process". This is the web site of the Cogema, a French company (partially state controlled, I believe). They seem to work also in the USA (http://www.cogema-inc.com/).
From the French web site: reprocessing of spent fuel as practiced at La Hague:
reclaims reusable uranium and plutonium,
provides safe, internationally accepted conditioning suitable to the technical and radiological properties of each type of final waste,
reduces the amount of final waste requiring disposal by at least a factor of 5, as compared with approaches in which the spent fuel itself is waste,
removes almost all (99.8%) of the plutonium, a leading contributor to nuclear waste toxicity, from the final waste.
Not everybody's happy with having a nuclear waste processing plant near cities, though... Check here for instance.

The Regulator is a nice Open Source tool, but Windows only. It integrates expressions from RegExLib.com, and has syntax highlighting & brace matching.
Is there any reason to use XP over win2K?
Hyperthreading (two "logical / virtual" processors on one Pentium IV) isn't very well supported in windows 2000.

I mean, 64 bits, eight bytes, it must be some ultra leet code ! Maybe using some advanced compression technology ?

Try this working link.
Lots of DIY projects here, with many pics, and french text.
For us, those issues are 1/50000 smaller than they are for other vendors.
So, they are 50,000 times bigger ?
AOL, being an ISP, can block these sites at the DNS level for its customers. Eg., herbalviagra.com resolves to 127.0.0.1.

I thought Murphy's Laws weren't written by Murphy, but by someone who has the same name...
(except for evading DOS attacks)
Like in http:\\slashd~1.org ?
It's open source peer-to-peer and handles exactly the problem of distributed serving.
Yes, BT is exactly this. A good site about BT : http://smiler.no-ip.org/BT/info.php
I don't see much difference between BT and OCN, by the way. Or am I missing something ?
