I have such a Neurosky headset but find it of no use - the output seems to be just random. Whether meditating, concentrating very hard or playing a game, it is always fluctuating in a similar pattern. What does work is eye blinking, but that is just picking up the muscle contraction and not the brainwaves.
Here in the Netherlands I pay 52 euro for 60 Mbps down, 6 Mbps up, with television + telephone included. Doesn't seem to be a lot cheaper than what you have so Belgium might have caught up:-)
I did that too. The problem is that a balance ball doesn't have armrests and will in due time put too much strain on the upper back and shoulder muscles (the trapezius being the most famous problem area). These muscles are in constant contraction to keep your arms floating in front of you. This will weaken the muscles and lead to trigger points.
My experience so far is that a sitting ball is okay if not used for too long.
Good stuff. Regarding tight muscles in the back (from trigger points), might I also suggest the tennis ball (or small rubber ball) against the wall technique.
Now, if they could just make the LCD made out of some flexible fiber/polymer material (I know they are already working on it), we would have web pads that can be rolled up...that'd be awesome.
A few days ago I head this dream, it was about a map with A4 sized flexible plastic screens. You could browse throught all these screens like browsing a book, you could move windows with your finger, type on a virtual keyboard in the air and more like this. It was all very lucid. I did not have wet underpants when I woke up though.
200 PPI is all nice and stuff but this is still years away. What we could use right now is better yield of ordinary resolution LCD screens so that they may get more affordable.
Not that I'm complaining.. last week I managed to score a 18" Fujitsu screen for half the normal price (it's from a German store that went bust..). With 1280x1024 pixels it's 'only' 90 PPI but this is in fact already very sharp. The colors are incredibly beautiful too, much more saturated then a CRT, and photo's have the same brilliancy of a slide on a lighttable. I can look all day at this monitor without getting irritated eyes - with my previous CRT at 100 Hz refresh I always ended up with itching eyes. Finally, I don't seem to be getting any screen acne anymore..
The executive summary being: LCD is way cool and healthy too.
I had one of these and it actually caused me a sore wrist. Was a bit of a shame as otherwise I really liked the keyboard. Now I'm back on a generic keyboard (G83 from Cherry) and the pain is gone.
I think the culprit was the function key that you have to press for the arrows etc. They stange thing though is that I mapped this function key to the left and that I got pain in my right wrist.
Everybody here is talking about whether future versions of gcc get to be proprietary or not. I don't see that happening as that would seriously backfire on whoever tries to pull such a stunt.
What I wonder is what the Linux community gains by the Redhat takeover of Cygnus. Cygnus was already an open source company and seemed to do very well by it's own. I think it would be cool if Redhat used it's financial postition to acquire companies that are not yet in the open source camp. Currently, one of the major mancos of Linux is the lack of games. I think it would be very cool if Redhat aquired a big game company and started releasing some major titles for Linux. I think there's (real) money to be made here for Redhat and it would give us the users more things to do (not necessarely usefull things...) on our beloved operating system.
You can already type in filenames or URLs when using KFM. Or type Alt-F2 to bring up the minicli and type it in there - it's very usefull. For filenames you must not forget to begin with a slash, eg type in something like "/dos/mp3".
I once put a digital watch in liquid nitrogen and it didn't come out alive. Somehow I think a motherboard will give up the ghost too. Perhaps if you cool down/warm up real slowly you have a chance of not breaking it, but at -196 degrees Celsius the various components are sure to not work.
The Gimp in it's current form has fallen a bit behind the times when compared to for example Photoshop 5. it's one or two orders of magnitude slower when dealing with large images like hires scans, and it lacks 16 bit color while even the cheapest scanners nowadays provide >8 bit accuracy.
I think a complete reimplementation using the KDE methodology could be actually easier and less work then to try to bring the current Gimp codebase to contemporary levels.
Almost every contact would start to corrode because of the electolysis! You would end up with a filthy smudge (well that's what I remember from when I was a kid).
Try RH6 and blow your money on more RAM + a matrox g200 instead of NT4. That way you have a fast & stable X server and enough RAM to run whatever comfortably. That would make more sense then wasting your money on NT and trying to dress it up as UNIX.
You couldn't be more wrong.

I can write pretty functional applications in 100 lines of Perl/GTK. Translate it C and you add a bit, but it's all just duplicating Perl functionality, and not GTK.
The problem arises when you have a project that needs more then 100 lines. Then it is really really nice to have have C++/Python and Qt.
With all the image processing and the red light it's most likely not feasable to battery operate it. And you're right, the Logitech cordless wheel mouse rules supreme (after some modifications).

With those totalitarian rules there is no sense in carrying the word "Free" in the name anymore.
The liquid hydrogen can be used to cool the infrared sensors as well.

Oh yeah? Go take a look here, boy!
If it's a fake it would actually be a quite intelligent one considering
how it matches raster's style & spelling errors.

Well the water will sink to the bottom right where the motherboard is and it will cause mayor problems.
