  1. 86 BMW on DIY BMW Computer Chair · · Score: 1
    No, you can't have the seats from my beamer!

    Now, if it gets wrecked like my last car I guess I could go to the junkyard and steal (er...) obtain the seats.... The sheepskin covers would make it extra comfy.

    Fantastic idea. Just add a cooler, built-in joystick, and frame to hold your 21" LCD -- I like it.

  2. as a parent.... on Black Boxes to Track Driving Habits? · · Score: 1

    I drove well, well over the speed limit with my Ford , packing a 390. I found several GREAT places to park and.... Now I find myself the parent of a 12 year old boy who is starting to look at GIRLS. I just may purchase a black box and fake antenna, install it, and tell him it is real -- only to keep him in line.... Or maybe build one with embedded Linux? Should be interesting. Maybe get him to help me build it -- if he agrees to drive the BMW I plan on giving him near the speed limit?

  3. Been doing this for years... on The Theory of Leech Computing · · Score: 1
    For years, I've been stealing cycles and running programs in the background on the computer belonging to a coworker. She never complains as she 1) runs linux, 2) has a dual 1G PIII with lots of RAM, and 3) can still edit/compile/test with my jobs running.

    Back in '94, her computer also served as our print server....

  5. Re:OS X GUI is not X Windows on MS Office for OSX? Why not for Unix as Well? · · Score: 1
    MSIE on Solaris is ported using the Mainsoft toolkit. According to Mainsoft, they have
    a very large amount of MS code under license
    from MS and I guess a reciprocal agreement
    with MS so MS can use the Mainsoft code for
    MSIE/Solaris.


    The last time I checked, Mainsoft also supported
    Linux.


    According to Mainsoft, you need only change 1%
    of your code to be able to support a Windows
    program on Linux/Unix (but still, that's quite
    a lot).

    Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress,
    non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious
    persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others,
    or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all... and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated
    recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2002, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other
    cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great, (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other
    country or is the only "AMERICA" in the Western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious
    faith, choice of computer platform or operating system, or sexual preference of the wishee.

    with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or
    others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as
    expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting,
