APC sells a monitoring board that goes in some of their UPSses and will do SNMP. Even if you don't need a UPS get one, hook it to your network, and you have your monitor cheaply.

It's worthy of note that one of the more obscure aspects of Einstein's theorum of Relativity is Frame Dragging, which predicts that time and space will be dragged around a spinning object's mass. This is being tested to an extremely high level of accuracy by the 4 most perfect spheres ever created in the Gravity Probe B (http://www.gravityprobeb.com/ experiment going on currently. The project is a 1 year flight with NASA and Stanford as the sponsors, and they are keeping mum as to interim results of the test. Supposedly the results will be announced in the near future after the 1 year test period is complete.
This Supreme Court is totally out of control:
1. The Grokster ruling that puts the burden of responsibility to ensure legality of a download on the software developer of a file transfer product.
2. The insane Eminent Domain ruling, making it a cinch for anyone to take anyone else's property, legally. Property rights no longer exist.
3. The Cable TV ruling that allows large cable companies (can we say Slime Warner) to boot their competitors off the network, and become sole providers.
These rulings bode very badly for the common person.

Check out this guy. http://www.strikingviking.net/
He's been traveling the world on a motorcycle for 2+ years, keeps a laptop handy and writes journals which he uploads via cyber cafes all over the world.
His book, Two Wheels Through Terror, is quite interesting also, he was captured and tortured by rebels in South America.
It appears that Persistence was removed from Coyotos. Not sure why, as it appeared to be one of the key features in EROS that differentiated it from 'conventional' OS's. Now what I'm reading is you are simply building a capability based kernel and will run Linux on top. Yeach.

If this is of interest to you, you might want to check out www.climateprediction.net, the BOINC based screen saver project that's like SETI, runs on your system in it's spare time.
2wire's box doesn't appear to be HDTV, so it won't be in my home. I have a DirecTV HR10-250 and it's an awesome piece of work. Even runs Linux! Direct digital signal off the satellite to disk, 2 satellite receivers and 2 Over the Air receivers, all HDTV, can record 2 signals and play back one all at the same time, this thing rocks.
Oh, 32 hours HDTV and 200+ SD hours of record time. I slapped in a second 250 gig SATA disk for a couple hundred bucks and it's 64 hours HDTV and 400+ SD hours now!
Only downside is the cost, it's about $800 on the street right now.
I believe in the last ST:TNG movie at the wedding scene between Troy and Deanna, Will was sitting at the head table, over on the left side, if I'm not mistaken. I seem to remember that his part was left on the cutting room floor but that take was still there.
I ran a small ISP for 10 years, finally driven out of business by Southwestern Bell and it's deceptive and monopolistic practices related to DSL and ISPs in general. We even won a settlement from them when we started a class action Monopolistic Trade Practices suit, but it wasn't enough to keep us going very much longer. This business never did make me much money but I had the best Internet connection in town:) I still have fibre to SWB's CO in my study. Make a great house for someone into Web Cams:)
I also have done some consulting for local colleges and large businesses, mainly when someone there knows I have the skills to get something working quickly.
You guys are killing me...

Seriously, though, computer paper is still recyclable and I assume bio-degradable and anyone else remember paper punch cards and tape?

Sun just announced that it will have a PPC version of Solaris 10 available. No idea why, other than they will have an alternative to Sparc that is non-Intel. This is not the first version, either, it was available back in the Solaris 2.5 release as well.

I changed jobs recently and when I came in the lady who issued me a SecurID freaked out because the original one they were going to give me had 666 as the last three digits. I laughed but she insisted on giving me a different one.
HDTV is High Definition TV, roughly 4-5x the resolution of a Standard Definition (NTSC) picture, but with many more features, such as 16:9 aspect ratio, multiple channels within a signal, and digital signal, with error correction capability, meaning you get a good signal even in a weak reception area.
One downside is the "Do not record" bit, which allows broadcasters to block your ability to record certain shows.
I have two HDTVs and they are awesome!
I think this sort of star has been postulated for quite a while, especially with black holes and neutron stars sucking material out of companion stars, but this is the first observation of the result of that process, a star that is no longer fusing. It's a dead husk. I think that makes it a supergiant planet or an ex-star, but I doubt it's fusing anything anymore. It's been sucked dry.

Get a Sun. You can get very large memory systems. You can go up to 192 gigs of memory. Marc

Reminds me of the Thunderbirds puppet shows, they had a Camera Detector in TB1. Red blinking light with a beep tone.

Gravity sucks, doesn't it?

And this will be tricky how? I thought this was all preprogrammed for years.
