The 3M velcro straps (Hook and Loop Fasteners) are great and don't cost much. They have multiple types (length, width, colors) perforated or not.
I like the 600" x 1" roll with 8" perforations. Allows me to cut them down the middle and in half if needed. 300 1/2" x 4" straps for less than $7. Great for all kinds of organization tasks.
urlmon makes a connection to a web site and records the last_modified time
for that url. Upon subsequent calls, it will check the URL again, this
time comparing the information to the previously recorded times. (Note
that if the subsequent time is older (less than) the first, urlmon will
still assume that the URL has been updated. I figured I'd play it safe.)
Since the last_modified data is not required to be given by the http (it's
optional), urlmon will then take an MD5 checksum.
I guess it was marketing. Their compatibility page has the following to say:
When designing the Crusoe processors, Transmeta paid special attention to full compatibility. This endeavor was in fact made much easier by the unique approach of delegating the responsibility for compatibility to the Code Morphing software.
All Crusoe processors are:
Fully x86 compatible: they run x86 applications just like conventional x86 microprocessors.
PC compatible: Crusoe processors already include portions of the traditional PC support chipset, and they run all popular PC operating systems.
Internet compatible: Crusoe processors run the full wealth of Internet plugins written for the x86 - a world that is closed to most other low-power (non-x86-compatible) processors.
I keep reading that the TM 5400 will be on notebooks running Windows. Was it announced this way for marketing purposes or will it also have the ability to run Linux?
PowerQuest was to release the code 18 months after the commercial version was released.
This post is by the author of the ext2fs resizer and does not dispute the information that Rik van Riel posted. It was posted 15JUN98, so I guess we can look forward to seeing it in the next few months.
Linux kernel changes?

I wonder if they made any changes to the Linux kernel specifically for this product. If so, anyone know where to get the patches?
The problem with releasing in MP3 (or any other format) is that you get the limitations of that format. Whereas with CD you get very close to the original and you can take that and turn it into any format you please (and still have the original!)
Even though my entire CD collection is now in my MP3 jukebox (30GB+) I still buy CD's and wouldn't have it any other way.

A few years back I had four offers of $100+ for my ID number. I'm glad I didn't take them. Some things you just can't replace.
Or...even more original from 1998

Here are some of the places I've found them:
Mouser
Jensen Tools
Gold results shows 1 hit for sco unix. Maybe for $39.95? Whatever.
EBGames currently has 3 Loki games (Quake3, Heretic II, Descent 3) on sale for $9.99, $6.99, $6.99.
The README has the lowdown:
DISCLAMIER: I contributed to this project
Please keep all offers respectable. The last bid for my #413 userid was $7500. Don't waste my time unless you've have at least $10,000.

Yes, Dents is a replacement for BIND. It is currently in active development.
Simply because Beowulf clusters are nowhere not nearly the fastest computers built
But Beowulf clusters are faster than super computers that were built when the export controls went into effect some years ago. Right?
Aren't the Beowulf clusters still faster than what is allowed? If so, this shows that the export control guidelines fail to take that into account.

"I don't believe it would've been possible had we chosen to go with any other Operating System solution."
I wish they would have elabortaed on this a bit so that I could understand where Linux would have not worked or explained why FreeBSD shined.
Maybe this is just PR and I should remember that.

If you are looking to get the same results you could use xringd. It runs commands based on incoming ring patterns to your modem. xringd
I'd like to map SHIFT-CTRL- to run a certain programs but I can't figure out how.
Does my window manager need to look for the combo and launch it or is there a generic way to set it up.
