Script-Fu seems to have been in limbo for quite a while. Personally I feel Scheme is just to alient for most hobby programmers. Not to mention the tons of dead scripts due to version incompatabilities. Perl-Fu seems to have never gotten off the ground. It would be nice if someone would develop a Javascript like interface language. I'd bet the intersection of graphics app users and web developers is pretty big.
I did domething similar once. I put a tiny transparent image URL in a letter to try to get the IP address of someone. Then I monitored the server logs where the image was hosted.
The British feared the US would invade. The report doesn't cite specific sources for this scenario. Likely it was the speculation of a few half-informed analysts. I'm sure there are reports circulating through classified networks arbout Libya's plan to join the EU and take it over. Or Syria's plan to grab the Golan Heights.
A few years ago I watched a special on PBS about the birth of the Internet. The astounding thing was watching a video featuring a dozen guys hanging around a chalkboard laying out the eight or so connections that formed the forst internet web. No fancy electronics, just a groupd of guys standing around a chalkboard and talking.
Interresting point. In Word 97 and 2K I got around image positioning by insterting a textbox then insterting the picture in the textbox. That method is broken by default in XP (not even sure what they did). Its always been a no-brainer to accomplish in Powerpoint. MS Publisher is a pain in the ass too.
Another method I've switched to using is to write the document in html then open it in Word and doing a quick "Save As...".
If you think that the PPT would be great to print out and hand out to meeting attendees, then it should be a Word document. If you want to write a book then use a word processor.
Dondemn old buildings, come in with a bull dozer an level anything in your way and construct the new conduit. Any way you slice it $15 of MY fucking money is just insane. If the people of Boston want to waste that kind of money than take it out of their pockets.
2 miles of highway for $15bil in FEDERAL dollars. Gotta love union labor and liberal politicians. Their next feat is to figure out how to make 1 mile or highway cost $15bil.
But the carrot is the X-Prize and the prestige. OTOH, being the first civilian corp to put a tourist in space could be just as big a motivator, especially if no-one claims the X-Prize.
I was researching 3D home design tools for my dad and came across a neat too called SketchUp 3D that sounds similar.
SketchUp has a unique interface that allows 3D forms to be created, viewed and modified quickly and easily. The core of its simplicity is an interface that allows you simply to draw the edges of the desired model in 3D space, just as they would using a pencil and paper. Intelligent inferencing capabilities automatically determine the nature of the lines and "fill" shapes to create 3D geometry. SketchUp is used by all kinds of designers in many different industries. It is quick to learn, fast to use and hard to forget.
I'm not really blaming NASA. Yesterday I watched an interview with two astronauts on the Internation Space Station. The Russian looking dude just looked desparate for a drink of Vodka and the British soundind dude talked about spending his entire day on some incredibly stupid sounding experiment.
NASA has been grasping at straws for the last decade to justify its existence. They have the capability to do truly great things but havn't been given the mission/direction to achieve anything great. The moon now and Mars in one or two decades would be much more inspiring and likely more productive for science too.
Saw an inteview this morning on CNN I believe. He talked about the L2 point idea as well as the dificulty with all the other things going on in the world as well as the budget deficit.
Most opponents to this idea don't consider that they are talking about realigning NASA in the direction of achieving this one big mission instead of the aimless direction it has been moving if for quite awhile. Not more money, just applying existing resources in a specific direction.
I Norton and other virus companies cared about customers they would include spyware in their definition of virus. Or at least add a bog checkbox on the virus scan page that says "remove spyware".

Wanna bet?

For you XP users out there here is a link to a nift little program that you can use to remove most of the privacy stealing features:

Hence the "half-informed" portion of my comment.

Innovative thinking.
Get treehuggers to stand in front of the turbines and catch the birds before they hit the blades.

The Russians are charging $20 mil per passenger for tourists. Doesn't take much for that to outcompete X-Prize for motivation.
Go see the big dig everyone in the US payed $10 billion for. Ain't communism great?
I'm from the US and I'd be the first to agree on both points.
This guy's description of reading code is just a litte too fruity. Bet he wanders around coin-op laundries sniffing other people's underwear.
Here is a page that beats the topic of computer cartoon and 3D sketching to death:

The people who seem to want this maglev transportation system seem to do everything in their power to make it sould stupid to the public.
Presidents can snort coke, sleep with subordinates and be alcoholics. And the worst intel turncoats passed the tests with flying colors. Brilliant.
