If you really want the flashing lights, swirling thingies or generally make your charts management friendly, I'd recommend this library for PHP (or for Perl use the SWF::Chart wrapper).
With enough animated transitions to last you a good 3-4 promotions you should be set:)
Also think about power consumption... Many devices (such as hot water systems) are actually more power efficient to leave running due to the extra power required to start up (i.e. heating 60L of water 30 each day when you turn on a hot-water booster as opposed to keeping it warm all day). Obviously PCs are a little different and consume a fair bit of power during even idle usage, so it's still wasteful to leave them running unused for days at a time but switching them off over a lunch break is probably overkill.
Even in old-fashioned Australia, we get ADLS2/2+ across most of the country. Albeit not 20 megabit due to the large distances involved but the average is around 12-15.
And why is 15meg a big deal when places like France (see parent) and Utah (see UTOPIA) have 100 megabit active fibre networks?
One good way to achieve this without having to run generic input validation on every input field is to use a WAF (Web Application Firewall) such as mod_security.
Of course you should still do highly specific validation (like only allowing 2 decimals places in cash amounts and 0-100 for percentage amounts, etc) on the server side of your app.
When signing up to high-risk crap I don't need like NYTimes articles, once-off downloads and the like, when prompted for an email address, I try and use a combination of [root|postmaster|webmaster] @ [localhost|company.domain] and choose as many "Free Newsletters" as I can.
It really gives you that warm, fuzzy, "F@CK YOU!" feeling on the inside:)
If you're using a shell that supports functions (i.e. bash), then you can get a lot more functionality by defining functions in your.[bash]rc file. For example:
...is one of many I use, 'find SOMEWHERE -iname "*PARTNAME*"' becomes 'findhere PARTNAME SOMEWHERE', with SOMEWHERE defaulting to the current dir.
Client-side:
Most SSH clients (i'm sure i'll get corrected) will not pre-process your standard text input before sending to the server (except maybe to fix up ^H's, etc), but many do offer programmable macros, similar to using functions in your shell's.rc file. I use PuTTY, which doesn't offer macros AFAIK, but this search gives a shitload of results that might help you find some decent software.
It's not just about the ratios, I'm a member of a private tracker where we only allow people who are peered at a network level.
Many ISPs in this area share some common pipes, and are not charged for the volume of data transmitted through those pipes, unlike international couriers and the large domestic carriers (i'm looking at YOU Telstra), so using these trackers means we can download freely, while international sites count towards our monthly usage. There is a big need to keep DHT users out as we start paying for bandwidth we are trying to avoid.

But what I want is a pure hardware solution. I want to pay for the hardware and be done with it. There should be no monthly fee since once I have the hardware I'm not using anyone elses resources.
Ahhh... you mean like you can get for mobile phones?
"Next generation super MP3 files will support four-channel audio tracks and contain what's dubbed Light Weight Digital Rights Management (LWDRM)

This can't mean the code is embedded in the MP3's, surely? This loses cross-platform support and introduces viruses...

I found the following text file released (with accompanying JPGs), and yep the JPGs have got dots on em. (disclaimer: this is not my work, and the author is unknown)
The MPAA is going the opposite route that the RIAA is going and is going to catch us all with our pants down.
Take a look at the jpg's I captured from ctp's rel of My Boss's Daughter (Disc 1 31:48, 38:14).
Kinda strange to be seeing those dots huh? I went to see it again in the theater - same dots in different locations in the movie.
To make matters worse I also saw "The Others". More dots. They only show up for about two frames so if you blink you don't even see them. It looks as though the MPAA is using those dots to catch TS suppliers.
As good as my kung fu is when it comes to encoding I don't know of a good way to extract the offending frames, remove the dots, and put them back into the movie. They could easily be chopped out - but that would be a dead giveaway to the MPAA.
The fact that they aren't in the same location at the same theater (confirmed by watching for the dots at my local theater) means the the mpaa has instructed technicolor or someone in the food chain to add and track those dots as a means of tracing the scene TS's. I've wondered for some time why they didn't do this before - know it's happening.
Get word out to everyone you know in the scene to be aware of the fucking dots so people don't get
busted/fired/go to jail. Hopefully someone will write us some nice software that will allow us to
extract a frame, edit said dots out, and reinput the offending frame.
Someone thought of that in Australia (sort of), and developed a game where the user is an illegal immigrant and must escape from a refugee camp. Funded by our Government too, funnily enough.

Anybody try any of the self hypnosis software like Virtual Hypnotist successfully?
Blizzard makes a nice piece of self-hypnosis software. I've seen it work for hours on end--the user just stares trance-like at the screen.
It works too. Some have been known to think they can fly and jump from high places.
