I use the names of Elements for my machine naming scheme. They are short, recognizable, and if you want to be really anal, they are already in groups and you can apply those groups to type of servers.
(Halogens are the mail servers, Lanthanides are the web servers, actinides are the databases, etc)
wasn't the third one called Lost! or Little Robot lost?

I enjoyed American gods because it mirrored some ideas that friends and I had thought about when we were first getting into fantasy and Dungeon and Dragons, but like many of you, I wanted something more.
Neverwhere however was a most excellent book and reminded of author Charles de Lint. In his books (of which there are many) he writes about a town (canadian if I remember right) in which it seems the line between the fairy world and ours is a bit blurred. Many of the stories involve everyday normal humans coming into their first contact with the little bit of magic all around them. Some believe immediately while others take convincing. Many characters recur through the books and short stories and eventually you may find yourself wrapped up into his little world.
get cellphones that have unlimited sprint to sprint calls. makes sure you get decent signal in the auditorium. get the smallest plan available in your area.

I live in Texas and have one of the new sprintpcs phones with GPS inside) There is currently an option to turn it off. What if I am not allowed to in the future. (ooo what if it is not really off now?)
Half, a C++ class for manipulating half values as if they were a built-in C++ datatype
As I see it, this helps not only them by having the OSS peeps write software that may indirectly help them, but also us because now we have a class so we can write to the Nvidia video cards even if we aren't using the ILM format.
...Reading this article would make me want to encourage WiFi usage in my country in case the US came a knockin'.

The military is complaining about US use of spectrum that is used by civilians worldwide. Seems they'd have to deal with those issues when dealing with other parts of the world so they might as jolly well deal with it here.

Wouldn't that have smoothed out the power and removed the flicker?
As a kid I bought two geodes from the gift shop of the Kirkpatrick Center/Omniplex in Oklahoma City. Kinda cool to a kid, I liked one best since it had a neater crystal in the middle.
Fast forward a couple of years and one of my teachers had a magnet made from hot gluing a geode to a magnetic disk. The funny thing was it was the other half to one of the geodes I had bought (the one I didn't like as much)!
Not proud of it but I stole it from her at the end of the year. (Sorry Mrs. Christie!)
...I doubt Dubya would advocate cutting NASA budget even more. Even though the stupid missile defense system he wants to put in place will probably be done by defense contractors like TRW, there will probably be some spillover into NASA.

Personally, I think a more fitting monument would be to get NASA cleaned up and getting us back into space...

Next thing you know they are going to gain sentinence and then we'll be stepping on them barefoot all the time.
do they do this to .edu's as well? most edus are prevented from having any commercial application...
I know I am waiting for this game.
By implementing this extra header on every HTTP request (every html, every jpg, every gif) can we estimate how much extra bandwidth Earthlink incurs?
So then I should make sure that I am running VMware as a possible defense if Roadrunner disconnects my NAT? :)
How does one detect the existance of NAT?
