that's just off the top of my head... there really are a lot of magnetic parts in a car. Most are electric magnets, true, but magnetic nonetheless.

VIA Technologies is expected to launch a very small format motherboard this month. Called the mini-ITX, the fully integrated mobo measures up at 170mm x170mm (yes, it's square), making 50 per cent smaller than the FlexATX form factor, VIA claims.
The Mini-ITX is supplied with an 800MHz Eden x.86 C3 processor (in EBGA packaging), incorporating 128K L1 and 64K L2 cache; integrated AGP2 graphics 2X; PC100/133 SDRAM support etc. You can check out more spec here.
The board will retail for around $100, and gets its first mainstream outing at CeBIT this week.
The Mini ITX is targeted at the embedded market - expect most units to disappear into printer routers and the like; but VIA is also reporting 'grassroots interest' in the product from home PC and commercial system builders.
The Mini-ITX may be small, but it is not 40 per cent smaller than any other form factor around, as VIA believes. The Danish firm, maker of the M-Series PC, deploys a 157mm x146mm mobo. ®
Even if it isn't publicly ostracized as anti-Linux FUD, you can bet that Microsoft is eyeing this information as a potential weapon for their sales arsenal.
Be wary of ANY check an employer writes to you:

Even if you are a paid employee, be cautious about receiving any type of compensation by check from your employer. Even bonuses and advances.
Undoubtedly, you will receive a 1099 at the end of the year, this is standard accounting practice (and the law [in the States] for the company writing the check)
You are left holding the bag on taxes, so make sure you account for any mileage or other costs associated with making that extra money.
Bottom line: companies are keeping records, you should be too.
This isn't just a good from the "let's get away from everything microsoft" viewpoint.
Think of what this means for cross-platform AOL clients: Mac support: OS9, OSX.x Linux support (no client yet, but the switch to gecko should reduce the amount of work to be done in porting)
Think about what it means for advancing the real W3C standards: A standards compliant rendering engine used by the largest single percentage of Internet users out there...?
This is all good stuff.
Well aside from AOL taking over my RoadRunner connection in the near future, and controlling everything on cable.
Now, if we can all just agree to stop using any version of Netscape 4.x, I'll be a happy programmer.
That's the exact reason for my question though. It's been apparent for quite sometime that MS was going to be going around in circles with the DOJ and States, and nothing serious was going to be done. At least not without 10-20 more court dates for Microsoft.
You can bet your wallet Sun is going to be cautious about filing a suit against Bill (think countersuit) but it still seems delayed. One does have to admire their use of current events to their advantage, in the current situation. They are basically positioning themselves as the saviour in the fight against the monopoly.
I say yawn, only because it seems every third story on/. is about a Microsoft involved lawsuit.
Actually, IIRC a Faraday cage is simply an implementation of a RF/EMI shield that takes into advantage Gauss's law. I should have stated: Faraday Cage's to the rescue!
Yes, except the "Virtual Light" glasses in the book interfaced directly with the optic nerve, rather than painting the retina with light.
We have a ways to go until we catch-up. Besides, you wouldn't want a pair of those anyway, you'd just have Warbaby and the Russians chasing you around all over.
I'll redundantly post that Opera supports turning off this feature (but only globally, there's no option to specify disabling of the feature only on load/unload of a page. I still like to popup windows from an anchor tag, thankyouverymuch)
The other privacy feature of Opera I like is the ability to disable referrer logging.
I'm still waiting for the guy that runs a 300 Watt peltier cooler to cool his pc and his house.
Of course they accept money for placement results.

It's revenue. Read their information about submitting your site to their search engines and the available enhanced listings, listing options etc. This is nothing new.
What I like to see is Google's far more elegant solution of providing real unadulterated search results, while still providing a paid option on the side. The other engines would do well to adopt a similar model.

Slightly different.
Apple is the name of a company.
Winodws is the name of the flagship product of a company called Microsoft.
Somewhat different when you start talking copyright law and name differentiation/recognition in the marketplace when it's the name of a product.
