If he's using Fedora, then it has some of Redhat's GUI config helpers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the shiny GUI is mostly Redhat's python scripts? (all those redhat-config-* scripts, up2date applet, etc.) The web based "GUI" on localhost:631 is the interface actually provided by CUPS.
We just rolled our own using PHP and MySQL. Users (mostly the IT people, but anyone within the department) can login and open a task describing what they want done, and then we can act on it, cancel it, put it on hold, or whatever. Comments can be posted, and there are separate task queues depending on what it's about, i.e. Linux, Windows, Networking, Web, Accounting, etc. Nothing too fancy, but it gets the job done and easily beats post-it notes and remembering things.
...although I kind of like the idea of Mars' pole covering a huge pocket of hydrogen gas.
You need three things for combustion. Fuel, got that. Ignition source, sure. Oxygen, don't got that. Maybe you could process it with the CO2 in the atmosphere to make hydrocarbons, oxygen, or even alcohol, (for the astronauts of course) but that would require energy to produce and there wouldn't be enough oxygen to fully combust any of those products. Hydrogen alone isn't good for much. Maybe if you sent a factory over used solar power to generate stuff (which was part of somebody's plan to get to Mars...) it could be useful, but just hydrogen has limited usefulness. I doubt it would be worth shipping back to earth to fuel the hydrogen economy either unless we're looking for hydrogen prices like $100 per cubic meter, cubic foot, mole, or whatever. Yeah, that'll work...

Waah, nobody's paying me to give away my work so I'm going to say sorry, I quit, shut the project down, kill the mailing list, lock everyone I can out of development, not pass it on to someone else that wants to take it over, or anything. I'm going to tell mommy and hold my breath until I pass out unless you give me money!
What do you want, a cookie?
If you wanted to make money on it, you should have sold it instead. If you're going to do this, don't make it open source and get other people to waste their valuable time on your project and then shut it down because of your personal problems.
maybe the League of Inusti^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HRIAA will sue AOL out of existence for a change. Probably not because of the "warner" part, but oh well, I can daydream about it.
Ahh.. *daydreams* But, rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed AOL, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.
Three major brand hard drive vendors - Seagate Technology, Maxtor and Hitachi Global Storage Technologies - have started recalling some of their 40GB and 80GB products sold in Taiwan due to similar defects identified in the products, Taiwanese channel distributors said.
Taiwan. Not here. Unless you're in Taiwan and I'm an insensive clod.
Hmm. By the same thinking, my other personality could kill somebody and get away with it because I didn't knowingly do anything. Seems like they ought to be responsible for damages and attorney's fees anyway, and something else (such as perjury or even libel?) if they do it on purpose. Oh, right, **AA wrote the law.
Don't they make these claims under penalty of perjury? So they're guilty of perjury. Clearly if there's a human or primate that actually sends the notice and not just a computer program, then they screwed up. If there isn't they're just plain reckless. So where's the penalty part? Oops! Sorry, lets just forget that we did something wrong, umkay? Umkay.
that sure hurts the RIAA. If the students didnt stop paying in 2006 they'd still only make up for the $96 billion they lost in about 1.6 million years. But they're not. I guess the Evil Employee of the Year Fund is going to take a cut.
Throw your carts in the freezer, whatever battery it contains will slow down, and so its clock will run slower. Well, assuming that's now it works. Now freezers will be banned under the DMCA. Oops.
Energy's great and all but metabolism is only 20-something percent efficient. I don't get the feeling that these would work as well as real living things for a while either.
Their site has been really really slow the last few days anyway. Half of the pages wont load up within a minute. Either they're running it on a 386, a 2400 bps modem, or maybe everybody's hitting it a little too hard. (AS IF slashdot's going to help that any...)
Houston has one as well. This one works by passively reading the identifications off those handy little tollway ez-tags, and sees how fast the traffic is moving on average. I always thought it was kind of funny how it would often read 70 mph in places even though the speed limit was 55. The map looks pretty crappy like now. This is typical rush hour. I used to take 45 minutes to get to school, (8 mi. trip) worst case was an hour and a half. Stupid Houston, yay college.

I'm pretty sure there is (or was) a Gaim plugin that did translation. If its ever a problem, I'm sure something like that could be made into a case.
That is all. :)
Three words: forehead barcode gun. This must be a sign of the coming apocalypse. Repent and be saved!

That way they can charge people to take their numbers back OUT of 411. It's a racket I tells ya.
That might as well be the last nail in anonymity's coffin as far as email is concerned.
