Kerberos will authenticate without storing or sending passwords. It works for email, remote login (ssh, telnet, rlogin), file service (AFS, ftp) and web as well. Pidgin supports Kerberos, though you wouldn't know it to look at the documentation; it took me a while to realize I needed to load the Debian package libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit.
Connexions from Rice University allows authors to write interconnected modules that do not necessarily follow a linear path. A student can read the material online or create a PDF. One of its main drawbacks from an author's standpoint, that input from LaTeX was not accepted, seems to be on the way to being solved. Still, it is clear that from looking at some of the better modules there that at least in the sciences and engineering, a significant amount of time and expense in writing a good textbook go into making quality illustrations, figures, and for online textbooks, animations or videos.
For providing people the ability to summon help or provide their whereabouts, there are things like SPOT which is less expensive than the system mentioned in the article, both for purchase and maintenance. For purely emergency use, the Personal Locator Beacons are more expensive to purchase but require no service fee. However, there's no way to send non-emergency or "I'm here" messages.
Not only are there abbreviations that are not acronyms (like "KVM") but there are acronyms that are not abbreviations (like "MILCOM" for military communications).
Splitting one side of the transaction several ways, yes. I do this all the time. I'm talking about splitting both the input and the output; in the example there are two sources of money and two places that it went, all in a single transaction. When I asked on #gnucash about it a few months ago, I was told it was not possible.
Yes, I should have been more accurate. It only has been boosted when the shuttle is attached, and that's not happening again if NASA gets its way. The external propulsion module is exactly to avoid another shuttle visit, but it doesn't exist yet, that would require design and construction. As far as I know, there is insufficient propulsion capability on board to do a controlled deorbit.
I don't think Hubble ever gets boosted, it's in a fairly high orbit (though still technically LEO). But of course it would eventually come down, so it needs to be deorbited if it's dead. Moreover, it can't be deorbited on its own, it lacks the onboard propulsion. It would need a robotic grapple by something which could deliver sufficient delta V to get it into a controlled and reasonably predictable deorbit.
I think his point is the following:
Gentoo AMD64 GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6 SMP
^^^^^ appears to compiled for an AMD processor 2.8GHz Pentium 4 w/HT, Intel D850EMV2, 533MHz FSB
^^^^^^^^^ Appears to be Intel hardware My guess is the article author made a typo and accidentally copied the Gentoo configuration from his other box, which is running AMD hardware (Opteron).
I also know BSD is a superior OS to Windows, and in large part, to Linux (even Linus has been quoted that his biggest mistake was not using a Mach kernel). No flames please, its just a fact.
How can you "know" an opinion? Regardless, if you've followed Linus' statements on microkernels, you know your statement on Mach is precisely the opposite of fact. And what does Mach have to do with BSD anyway?
I had bad luck with a PDA: batteries drained enought to lose memory, no recent backup.
Better to have it as a file on the computer I'm guaranteed to be using when I need a password (and is more frequently backed up), but how to encrypt?
I finally figured out that it's pretty easy with GPG and XEmacs. One thing to add is that emacs isn't needed to decrypt, gpg --decrypt works on the resulting file. That way, you can decrypt and pipe through grep, which will only show one password and keep the rest from prying eyes.
Oracle most certainly does run under IRIX. We run it, as do several other organizations that I know of. Of course, you'd never know it to talk to Oracle. They have the most confusing product matrix I've ever seen, but it's there. You may need to bug a sales person (and bug, and bug...)
I can imagine Lisp programmers would want the parentheses '(' and ')' keys to be in a more accessible place than above the 9 and 0 characters.
On the lisp machine (Symbolics) keyboard, they were swapped with "[" and "]", which was very convenient. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from remapping your keys in for emacs or in xmodmap. I have m-[ defined in XEmacs as insert-parenthesis which creates a pair of parentheses with the cursor inbetween. Nice for Lisp.
Have you seen PDFScreen?
Look at the screen formatted manual then at the the print form. You might change your mind.
I think a lot of the readability of the screen form is in using non-cmr fonts, which unfortunately are not specified. I wish there were a guidebook to TeX fonts, in the manner of the "Companion" series of LaTeX books!
check out OpenBSD's *AMAZING* ability to be an invisible bridge (not only can it invisibly bridge, but it can filter the bridge as well, which is something other OS'es have yet to be able to do).
Better yet, I have tried to persuade people to send PDFS by developing instructions for people to generate Postscript/PDFs from Windows, without having to buy Adobe Distiller or something like that.
It goes like roughly like this:
1) Add a "printer" to your Windows system that is one of the HP color Postscript printers. Set the printer to print to a file.
2) Print your document to the "printer"; this will be a file name ending in.prn. This is the postscript file.
3) Send the.prn file.
Now, for a pdf, you need ps2pdf or something similar. It would be really nice if Windows-knowledgeable person would make some free software that would bundle all this up into one package - just download, and it installs a printer called (say) "MakePDF" which could easily generate the PDF file.
If you make it easy on people, many will be quite willing to try.

OK, good to know. Perhaps I hadn't made myself clear when I asked. In any case, I'll keep it in mind the next time I need to do it.

The old version could not do a double split as in your last example. Have they added this feature?

Maybe apt-build does what you want?

Well they've done some of the same work with Linux, so maybe it's up to first grade? second grade?

Windows XP has apt-get? Wow, it's better than I thought.
You mean like metafont?

On the other hand, if it's just plain text...
You don't have to "hear" anything. You can check it out for yourself.
Curiously, the web page for civilian users of GPS is under uscg.gov, but the references to it in the GPS book by Hofmann-Wellenhof (Fifth Edition, 2001) give the address as uscg.mil. Did the Coast Guard get changed from a military agency to a civilian one?
