What does it take to print a digital picture on photographic quality paper/card with a matte or gloss finish and comparable picture quality to tradition photos? How much does it cost?
Uhm, $0.26 per picture for 4x6 at Walmart.com, and the prints are very good. I like them better than ophoto and a couple of other online printing places I've tried. I still have a nice inkjet (Epson Photo Stylus) which prints just as nice, because, even though more expensive to operate (paper and ink costs), the convenience of printing out a picture NOW is very nice. Disclaimer: inkjet prints will fade over time, keep 'em behind glass if you can, and definately keep the original files! At any rate, whether you print them on a good inkjet or have them printed at a commercial site like vendor, the prints will look every bit as good as "traditional photos".
Do you really trust your family's history to the idea that JPEGs, for example, will still be readable in 2102?
Sure, why not? The source-code for jpegs is readily obtainable. I wouldn't be so sure about any of those proprietary formats, such as PhotoShop and others use, however. While they might be fine for lossless processing, one would be foolish to store his archival pictures in a format that you don't have full source-code access to.
I read the article but couldnt find actual sizes anywhere (bacterias vary widely in size) but i wanted to know how smaller than the current transistors inside CPUs these are.
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly disallowed the Kempin memo -- along with several others -- during Gates' testimony after Microsoft's lawyers objected to it.
I'm having a hard time imagining why the judge would have agreed to disallow this memo from being presented. Seems like a pretty good corroboration of the actions they are alleged to have done -- why would a memo stating that "hey, we should do this" NOT be allowed?
Hmmm, there's already quite a few wild cats in Maui, and I'd imagine on the other islands as well (I was just in Maui a few weeks ago). But I'm pretty sure the Hawaiians aren't real keen on introducing even MORE cats (who would probably rather catch birds than frogs anyways).
I saw that....hmm for those of us not using command line email tools...
Hmmm, I just assumed you had a unix server (after snooping your tomstdenis.dhs.org) somewhere on your lan. I do, and I added a pop server so that my wife can still get her email from the local pop server with Eudora -- I wouldn't dream of trying to get her accustomed to logging in with a shell and using mutt!
Post your email address to a usenet group then tell me the same story.
Fuck I get like 20 emails [from the same ISP in korea] a day. About buy some shitty sweaters and what have not.

Get thee to
SpamAssassin right now. Set up fetchmail to grab your email from yahoo/hotmail/etc, and deliver it through SpamAssassin -- not only does it kill all my spam, it also stops a bunch of arguably legitimate crap that's more trouble to unsubscribe from than to filter.
That's what I do anyways... Not sure if I want to cough up the money for both my and my wife's yahoo email address, especially when all I ever do is retrieve from their pop server. Doesn't help that the great mediaone->attbi conversion just occurred (which is what led me to setup the yahoo addresses in the first place). Ack, I just want a nice PERMANENT (and cheap!) email address.
Hehe, anyone else remember the old Dilbert cartoon where the PHB decides that bonuses will be awarded for each bug fixed? Wally tells Dilbert: "I'm going to write me a minivan this afternoon".
It looks like a really fun project and all, but from looking at the seat (what is that, an old carseat?) and the corkscrew loop, I think he's really aiming for the Darwin award...
But if it was a riot, would there be time for that? What I can see happening is big crowd surging through the streets, with the leading edge slipping on this goo, and being crushed as the rest of the crowd continues on -- rather like a soccer riot. There goes the non-lethal bit, with what's likely to be a rather significant civil liability to whichever authority deemed it a good idea to spread the goo in the first place.
I emailed RR a while back about their plans for IPv6, and despite several back-and-forth email exchanges, never did find anyone who had even HEARD of IPv6, much less get details on their rollout plans for it. Doesn't look too promising for cable-modem users.
There seems to be little doubt among his would-be customers that Mr. Richardson pulled off one of the most remarkable con jobs in the almost seven-year history of the eBay auction site, the Internet's most successful commercial outpost. "The guy ran off with the money," says Gene Clark, a computer consultant in East Brunswick, N.J., who says he paid Mr. Richardson $700 for four porcelain mice that never arrived.
/me would consider this guy scammed even if he *had* gotten his porcelain mice.
Here's a decent article
article about how, even when someone DOES successfully sue a spammer, trying to collect is pretty hopeless. (Not too surprising that spammers aren't exactly rolling in cash)...
A judge would still have the challenge of choosing a remedy that would restore competition to the Internet browser market. Netscape has only a sliver of the Internet browser market, compared to its dominance several years ago.
Sounds like at least one legal expert thinks AOLTW has a decent chance. I don't see how any judge can restore competition, without having the power to force MS to open up all it's API's...

Well, it's probably not TOO likely that they had brought along their own OS to install, and I doubt very many shops in Afghanistan carry Windows software, so, it seems pretty possible that things played out as is claimed -- wiping the disk and reinstalling wouldn't have been an option at all.
Dunno how well you'd love FreeBSD (I think it's pretty swell), but I'll bet you are going to have problems getting a P200 motherboard to be able to handle a 40 GB disk.
I signed up with MediaOne, which shortly thereafter merged with RoadRunner, which in turn followed pretty quickly into "AT&T Broadband". Now it's going to be ComCast? In that time, things have been on a downward trend, in terms of service and reliability, and the support has gone from not-too-bad, to utterly hopeless (especially since they outsourced to that outfit in Canada).
Anyone know if they are going to make further cuts in service? (ie, speeds, usenet feeds, etc)

All the images I've seen so far are really small (course, if they were large, the site would probably be smoking by now)...
