The process for extracting CO2 from the atmosphere is call "photosynthesis" and no, it doesn't require fossil fuels. But you knew that. So your complaint is really the same as all the other people pointing out that refining ethanol "requires" fossil fuels, which has already been answered.
Clicking on the link got me a message from Websense about "adult content".
Same here. I ended up going through a proxy, since I knew it wasn't adult content. Don't you just love being supervised by software, and having your own judgement overruled by a machine?
I think this would not be too bad, because: 1. you could set an upper bound on how much you will approve in outstanding and/or paid warrantees. 2. this would provide a financial incentive for people to keep their machines from getting hijacked: "oh no, I just used up my $20 fee... before I put more money into the system I'm going to get someone to fix my machine."
That list is amusing and informative (pointing to a lot of pre-requisites), but I think that is very arrogant. Basically it says, "nothing is wrong with SMTP, you can't replace it, you can't fix it, and if you try you're a kook."
Email as we know it, should be killed. It's not so much the concept of email, which is great and useful, but everything built around the current implementation. But the only way to get rid of all that cruft is to start from scratch with a new infrastruction (client, protocol, etc.) that forces everything else OFF the social network.
Here's the question you're not answering: If he had never had a seizure, why were you so careful to check for it? Previous diagnosis? Family history? Paranoia? Hindsight? What?

Sounds like you should not turn over the email. I wouldn't.
I remember downloading Tripping the Rift in about 1998. (Just checked the wayback machine. Yep, I remembered correctly.) I've seen ads for it recently so it is the same character for the tv show, but what I downloaded was not even close to being appropriate for television.

I have a Happy Hacking Lite2 which is the Happy Hacking keyboard with an inverted-T arrow key layout below the right shift key (the only keys that are not normal size). It's great because I can use it in my keyboard tray and still keep the mouse at keyboard level where it's meant to be ergonomically.
However, I wouldn't recommend it to the question asker because he specifically didn't want to have to do a key combination to do function keys. On this keyboard, Fn+1 = F1. Also, Fn+` = Del which is kind of annoying. Also, I switched the Alt and diamond (really Windows key without the logo) because I thought they were incorrect (simple dip-switch setting) and the Backspace key is labeled Delete so I had to set it to backspace using a dip switch as well.
Nobody can figure out how to log into my machine at work though (Windows 2000): Control next to the A key, the diamond key not key labeled "Alt", and Fn + `, not the key labeled "Delete". Fun!
Yes but he was also responsible for a technology that vi relied on: termcap. This is what lets you use so many different kinds of terminals and the applications don't have to care.
A lot of the improvements that Tivo had to make (which were branched from an old development kernel) were actually folded back into the present kernel that everyone uses when Tivo posted their modified kernel as they are required to ("Linus' kernel"). They do have a lot of their own proprietary software on tivo though, but that is allowed, obviously.
Never test for a situation you don't know how to handle
Kind of an offtopic post here but you reminded me how in XP (eXtreme Programming) methodology, you write the test first, make sure it fails, then write the code that makes the test start to pass.

This is really cool; do other cities use this as well?
Yes.
Here's one I use:

Anyone wanting to send you an email can't use their own mail agent. How is that not breaking SMTP?

3 looks like E, because they both have three protrusions. In fact, many people write a capital E just like a backwards 3.
1 = I, obvious. Of course it could also be an "l" as in 31337 = ElEET.
7 looks like the left hand side of a T, or a T with a crooked vertical bar, same as in 31337.
I didn't realize that 3D17 was supposed to be "EDIT" though until this thread.
So what you're saying is, Outlook will swallow any worm: hook, line, and sinker?

I've replaced a PS2 mouse several times on a running system with no ill effects.
It can work 99 times, and on the 100th time your PS/2 port will be fried and you'll have to get a new motherboard. Trust me.
Why PDA? Why not use this?
Cygwin Emacs seems to have problems with key bindings.
Put the following line at the top (after "@echo off" is good) of your cygwin.bat file:
set CYGWIN=tty
you can have gentoo, kde, and gnome built in three days, easy. Hell, maybe even two days.
Because as we all know, gnome wasn't built in a day.

Of the mac pics I likethis one the best.
In case you missed it, he also linked to a friend's spoof, pics of his generic wintel box.
