CSS and XHTML are being worked on, however it is a daunting task. Apparently they've had several patches that correct the main page and some of the other big ones; the problem is with all the other miscellaneous pages that need to be corrected. Read CmdrTaco's journal for more information.
Posting negatives about a company helps. My small ISP was giving me some crappy service, so I sent them a letter and posted a copy of it and their reply on my site. A few weeks later, coincidently after a few searches from google on their name from their computers, they upgraded from a copper T1 to fiber and the service has been great.
With the definitions recently changing from dictionary.com to answers.com, Google has begun using Wikipedia in its searches. If you look up a definition, the resulting answers.com page has a subsection from Wikipedia.
Google could be feeling bad about burning up the resources of a free organization so they are giving back by way of servers and bandwidth.
The question is, are the ads on answers.com Google AdSense?
If you have Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Terminal Services is awesome, even over some slower connections. You can map the drives and printers to the computer you're on you can access any of your local files remotely or print remote files to a closer printer.
You can activate it by enabling remote desktop from the System Properties dialog and adding whichever users you want to be able to use it. It uses port 3389 so you'll need to open it with whatever firewall you're using. Any windows XP machine has the client by default. Simply go to start, run, and type mstsc. Linux has a client called rdesktop, although its not as great as Microsoft's last I checked. Other Windows versions can run the client off the XP install CD or downloadable from microsoft. I keep a copy on my thumb drive.
Also, netmeeting is still avaible on windows XP by running the program conf.exe. It'll start the netmeeting wizard then launch the program subsequently.
I'm trying to send in homework now. The professor has a strict format we must follow. Gmail isn't letting me attach a zip file (containing a class file and some text).
I've also used Linux 2.6 kernel builds to test overheating issues on my laptop (Athlon 2200XP). I've had other overheating problems with other, less-strenuous apps; this was just one test. Turning it in for a warrenty repair fixed the problem.
I've also had DVD's wreak havoc on my Apex DVD player. The first time I tried X-men2 and Planet of the Apes it choked on the menu introduction animation. My sisters have a habit of leaving it running 24/7, so turning it off for an hour or two and trying again usually works.
Its supposed to have the ability to play back MP3s, but every time I tried, it stutters in playback, like its having a problem decoding the data fast enough i.e. underpowered. Perhaps the MP3s use the CPU and the DVD uses DSP/CPU combo; a problem with one could lead to a problem in the other.
My suggestion, if you have the money to spend, is an engenius. We use a pair at work and aside from a flakey power system they get great reception and distance. Analog I believe. We get through 5 stories of concrete building plus the perimeter and into the neighboring buildings.
We tried most consumer products before purchasing these and nothing came close to the performance of these. The 5.8 ghz phones, from panasonic, could hardly get reception down the hall. All of the 2.4 ghz phones we tried couldn't reach another story. The 2.4 ghz I use at home can't reach to the other end of the house while our 900mhz (digital) can penetrate the house and surrounding acreage.
Finally, I can tell when my father uses our 2.4 ghz phone when I'm on the perimeter of the linksys 802.11b/g border. Depending on what my signal strength is, it'll drop or weaken.
I've tried a few 5.8ghz phones. They have horrible range and still pollute 802.11a. The quality is better, but not being able to leave the room with the base antenna doesn't really help.
Just stick to 900mhz for the best range and wireless reliability.
Some of the newer bit torrent clients like Bit Tornado and Azereus will allow you to set the priority for downloading specific files within a torrent. You could set your first CD as low priority or not to download and have it work on fetching the others.
You might even be able to fool bit torrent into thinking that the file for CD1 is done by copying it into the folder it creates for Mandrake 10.1 Beta.
I've currently got a Motorola Canopy system (precursor to this, I imagine) and its pretty solid. It has a max throughput of 3MB/s - shared. But you can cluster antenas for more connections. It doesn't drop packets and gets great pings, much better than my Linksys 802.11g AP. Point-to-Point DES encryption. High Index BFSK modulation.
I do, however I see the actual hardware go offline far to frequently, although I suspect it has to do more with the ISP than the equipment.
There used to be rankings called Multimedia PC:1,2, or 3. I think the requirements for a 3 was a pentium 90mhz with 32mb ram, a 4x cd-rom, and a sound card. I'm probably wrong on the stats.
The point is, the industry has used rankings like this before with minor success.
There was an ask slashdot article about saving LCD screen. People ask all the time about how useful an old device, like a laptop or pda is, if the hardware fails, but the screen is still good.
To summarize the results of the story, LCD screens are worthless without a proper controller chip specific to that display. And these controller chips arn't cheap or easy to find.

But did you even read the system requirements?
" Recommended configurations:
* 2 x 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 (or greater)
* NVIDIA GeForce4 or higher graphics card
* 2 GB main memory
* 100/1000 NIC
* SuSE Enterprise 9/SuSE Linux Pro 9
"
That isn't a toaster.

Who invented TV?.
But really, Googleblog introduced this today with a couple of good examples.

Typing "steam://backup/" into your browser's address bar is supposed to launch the backup utility.
Instead of an in-ear prompting device, could it be a vest-type body cooler?
or vest-type armor...

careful when alternating your cards, you may demagnatize the strips.

The practical problem with this is most lava lamps arn't ment to be run for more than about 4 or 5 hours. That's a lot of bad code.
i believe its in pack 4 or 5. Whichever one, it only contains .ogg files, so its easier to find. Again, a renamed zip file.

That's the biggest downside with public key encryption.
Biometrics are better as username alternatives than passwords.

First thing I'd do is create a plastic surgery mod for m' ladies ;)

Either way you'll help out the BT network
Real geeks don't use "Google Search", they use "I feel lucky".

Interesting, I found an internet kiosk that had about 30 minutes left over at the Puerto Vallarta airport, so I read slashdot.
Same city I was also proud to wear my slashdot t-shirt to a foam party and dance with real women.

Unfortunatly, I couldn't find it on google.
