While I agree it's not supposed to be permanent, a short circular buffer *is* a recording, and it means the device is on all the time.
For instance, the circular buffer used by the ReplayTV DVR for live TV pausing is supposed to be transient and inaccessible, but (due to a bug) it is possible to stream that video to other devices on the network. IIRC, the Tivo lets you save the pause buffer.

You are confusing the VW of the 80s with VW today. The VW 1.8T engine (common to VW and Audi) is very popular for chippers, and is in the Bug, Jetta, and Passat (as well as the Audi A4 and TT).
My 3 yr old Passat hasn't given me any electrical woes. I've installed an Alientech (http://www.alientech.net/) window controller, too.
I have a Replay 55xx and the new "manual commercial advance" (called Show|Nav) is not quite the same thing as CA (commercial advance, for 50xx). For once thing, for broadcast shows, it never gets the segments right, and skipping forward often skips to the start of the next commercial break! Now, I've not tried a 50xx unit with CA with the same sort of shows, but if the feature worked like this, I don't think Hollywood would mind.
The 55xx are physically the same as the 50xx models, except the 50xx models had CA and IVS (Internet Video Sharing), which is what spawned this lawsuit.
DNNA (the successor to SonicBlue) has not announced that they'll re-enabled CA and IVS on 55xx units. But, since they disabled the feature voluntarily (after buying SonicBlue), I suppose they could.
I should clarify that my comments are for getting a new locality delegated.
If you want to register in an existing locality, you need to go to the US NIC (http://www.nic.us/register/locality.html) and check out the list of delegated managers (http://www.nic.us/delegated_managers/delegated_su bdomains.txt). Neustar has not been applying updates to that list, though (for updates that they've been sent). So, some of it is dead information.
Each locality is free to charge their own rate. Many charge nothing.
Names under the k12.ST.us are controlled differently, and names under gen.ST.us (for non-profits) are handled by Neustar directly and are supposed to always be free.
Since Neustar took over administration of.US, new locality delegations have been frozen. This "freeze" was supposed to have lasted 6 months. It's been 2 years. Neustar hasn't been forthcoming as to when this will be lifted.
I've been using a.us domain since 88/89, and have been the locality manager for my town's.us domain since 96. I only signed up to be the locality manager to prevent certain out-of-town name squatters from taking over the domain name and charging me $50/yr for the privledge (this happened to many people).
And you better change that sime, straightforward procmail recipe to use ":0fw:" on the first line. That trailing ":" is important if you are not running spamd, as it makes procmail use a lock file and only run 1 instance of SpamAssassin at a time. Otherwise, if you get 30 messages, you'll get 30 instances of SpamAssassin, which is 30 instances of Perl, etc. Large load spike.

By definition, if it weights over 1500 grams, it is NOT a model rocket. Their web server is/.'d, so I can't read their details. Assuming their rocket really has a lift off weight of 200 lbs., it is going to require a substantial motor of that would clearly put it into the high power class.
This is not what you are looking for, but they used small bricks to make really big bricks when they scaled up the 2' Hagrid to 13'... The exact scale was 5:1 (a 2x4 became 10x20).
The migration from MS Exchange 5.5 is possible without any difficulties.
But, if you go and read their detailed migration plan you'll see this is anything but drop-in. At least they come on-site to assist you in the process (you gotta get something for the extra $1K).
If it works correctly, then let there be an option to turn it on.
Basically, they're inventing something new here, and if it isn't turned on by default and in everyone's face, it will never get used. It took 2 point releases of Netscape 2.0 to get them to add the ability to disable JavaScript.
IMHO, I don't care if "Netscape Navigator 7" has this on by default. Mozilla shouldn't.
On by default! No UI setting to disable this! ARGH.
(Yes, you can disable it, but you have to edit the preferences. Sheesh)
We are considering adding UI for this preference; however, the overriding theory is that if link prefetching needs to be disabled then there must be something wrong with the implementation.
This should be disabled by default, with a UI preference to enable it.
...is a simple-to-use (read: GUI) interface on either AltQ or Dummynet so that I can dynamically adjust the rate of different traffic classes. That is, I'd like to be able to manually lower the bandwidth allowed for some traffic that is going through my firewall.
As an example; sometimes I've already started up a huge download (4.6.2-disc1.iso, for instance). But, now I want to play UT and so I want to make sure that as the download runs, but doesn't eat up all of the DSL line. Since most user apps don't have rate limiting built in, I just want to tweak the firewall so that all non-UT traffic to use only 50% of the DSL bandwidth.
I want to just pull up a control panel and click.
3 years ago at a previous employer, I helped build something just like this. For various reasons it sucked (not the least being that it was encumbered and unavailable). I had hoped that Altq or Dummynet would get something like this since then.
Unlike the original (and usual) JavaScript sins (bugs) of accidentally or unintentially exposing too much information, this is an actual bug wherein the internal form the referrer is stored in is getting corrupted. As I've been there before (http://www.schooner.com/~loverso/javascript/) - this is very similar to the flaw that allowed a script to upload files from you in Netscape 2.0.
The nice thing is that Mozilla has a workaround, one that basically kills of a whole potential series of exploits.
Sorry, the division bug of the original Pentium does not "render the CPU essentially unusable". My P60 system is still going strong 6 years later. Way back when, when it was all I had, I even used the darn thing to do my taxes. I checked the math; the rounding problem did not affect the results. OTOH, I did use a test that showed the div bug was indeed there. I never replaced the CPU because the system was use in a critial fashion at the time and I couldn't afford the downtime. For the last few years it's been operating as a firewall, and barely done any FP.
Intel's mistake at the time was saying "this bug won't affect anyone". They didn't intentially create the problem, it was a bug in the chip design. They made a PR blunder by trying to sweep it under the rug, but they finally reversed themselves. It meant a huge earnings hit at the time (although it created a nice aftermarket for cheap Pentium-powered jewerly).
Does the use of 12-bit color make the m130 unusable? No, of course not. It's probably a great 12-bit device -- even better because of the "special dithering" that gets an effective 58000 colors.
The error here is Palm advertising it as a 16-bit device in the first place. The even greater error is Palm continuing to say "it can display 58000 colors, not 65536". They need to fess up with "it only REALLY displays 4096 colors". That they haven't said that is an example of their continued arrogance. I hope the market punishes them.
Darn, I should've sold my Palm stock.

That the toolkit was for X was because people were using X.
