Instead of using this in a already developed product, it would make more sense in giving it to testers. Hey Frank, put on this headband before sliding into the testcube. Using camcorders and taking notes is already a part of usability testing, and this gear might be an added gadget in the arsenal.
However, having more socially intelligent people running usability tests might prove a better solution in the long run. But then again we can't play around with gadgets and get printouts of nice charts of the stress levels of my shiny new UI.
Put in a timeout for your rules and you'll be safer as well in case of a DoS directed at your dynamic firewall. For example if you let every dynamic rule have a lifetime of 10 minutes before it gets deleted again it'll cut down on how many rules there are in your iptables setup, and limit the risk of being shut off from someone for a longer time-period.
I'm a bit thrilled over the fact that Nokia has invested in Mozilla. If this means that other companies out there also sees this as smart solution, to start backing up OSS-projects of potential, this could lead to an uprising in both OSS software as more software developers goes open source.
They had to sometime see the cost-benefit of having both volunteers and paid staff to handle their code-growth.
We had this problem at work ourselves. What we did was simple - we installed bugzilla.
Every person can then just submit a bug-report of what they want you to do, and you can decide for yourself in what priority this comes. It will also visualize quite well for the other staff what kind of stuff you are working on, and they will also receive an confirmation when you're done or have rescheduled your plans. It's been my experience that people will generally show alot more patience when they receive written confirmations instead of a yes and no.
All you need to do is give them a crash course in writing good bug-reports so that you don't end up in having "fix my computer" filling your screen.

Evolution has an option to only allow messages from people in your address-book to have inline images.
1. Easy payment by VISA, no paypal. 2. Allow for some freebies so you can check out the band before you buy. 3. High quality files (more than 128kbit mp3), and allow the option of selecting either ogg or mp3. Although you might be eligble for paying royalities if you go with mp3. 4. Fast downloads.
You need to get yourself a mailbox in the US. There are some companies dealing with this. You just set up yourself an "virtual" mailbox with them and have your orders delivered to that mailbox. They will then send it to Hungary or whatever.
Well, if you'd live in Norway there is JetCarrier which a friend of mine speaks so warmly about.
Also there is Access USA which sends all over the world, but they do seem a bit pricey.
And if you set up your XFree to have your nvidia to use Xinerama you can even have some work done while watching those movies of yours. Just use mplayer -vo xv -fs -zoom -display:0.1 file.avi
It still amazes me to this day that the governments of this world hasn't gotten its eyes up on this remarkable herb. Even Ford himself said in the beginning that he expected his engines to be run on fuel made of hemp, not on fossile fuels. Making use of fossile fuel is just totally ludicrous in this "enlightened" and technologically advanced world.
The company I am working for is currently in the process of selecting a mailing list manager as well. And after a bit of wandering about we are about to settle on Sympa. It seem to have it all. Web-interfaces, sql-backends and fairly good documentation.
We also took a peek on Mailman, but came to the conclusion that it would take too much work on having to integrate it into our design. No stylesheets to edit, and if you want it to integrate into a search engine other than pipermail (which can't search at all, only list threads) you have to get down dirty with the source. And having an extra thread of yet another project isn't a viable solution atm.
I have some questions; won't the Palladium chips prevent the development of new technology?
How will companies be able to send out new security patches if there are bugs in their programs, it would probably take months before the "independent body" would approve them. Or have I misinterpreted the technology? How on earth will MS get their applications approved in the first place if they were not to own the chain of command in the approvement-procedures. Just take a look at Outlook and you'll understand my sentiments.
Can you run non-trusted applications on this thing? What about the helloworld-code you just compiled last friday. Are we also stumping the newbie developers their chance to get into the meat-market?
And when I think about it for a while I really don't see how this can't be accomplished using opensource code as well. If you have a library communicating with the Palladium chips you can just use it to gain access to that processors public key. You then send that public key to the content provider to get the latest movie from Hollywood. The content-provider receives your public key and encrypts the content with it. You then download and ask the palladium to decrypt and play. One problem however is that you will be able to store the decrypted data on disc (you asked the palladium to decrypt it, remember?). But then the question really becomes wether or not you would bother to download that last pirated movie or pay $2 for your own copy.
I really can't see how closed proprietary software will succeed using the business model of the Palladium. First they will need to develop the application, then get it approved, and then trying to "steal" Microsofts marketshare on that particular application. Aha! I believe we are getting somewhere now. It's just a new method for ensuring monopoly.. How clever.
Well, I'm really looking forward to the day when they find some kind of security hole in these and my robot goes amock. Connecting household-appliances to the outside network in some kind of or the other will probably end up making alot of fun for someone.
One ought to think that Slashdot wouldn't be the place that was buying in for the GHz-hype of Intel. Wasn't it just a couple of weeks ago AMD set fourth to get a more sensible labeling of CPUs and what they can deliver.
One ought to get the ability to moderate the articles, not just the comments.
I've more or less stopped turning on that TV of mine and flicking through the channels. Instead I download whatever show/movie I want to see.
This helps me in multiple ways. I don't have to watch ads, and neither do I have to catch myself mindlessly watching some horrible show and waste my time. And also, I can watch whatever I want whenever I want.
My book-reading is up as well because of this. It's great to just grab a book and go to a local park, sit down and indulge yourself. Feeling the sun on your face.
There's lately been alot of these messages going around that various goverments are planning on decreasing their citizens freedom of speech. All over the world "democratic" goverments are grasping to images of terrorists in an desperate attempt to make us citizens comply with further restrictions on our lives.
Just recently the european intelligence service Europool has been cited to propose that all companies running web-services should store passwords and browsed urls for five years. All emails and information about the use of chatlines are also to be put under supervision for the timeline of 5 years.
Even if the above won't pass as stated, it will probably induce a more limited standard on ISPs and us users.
What I find dangerous about the above is the notion that we are all guilty until proven innocent (if ever). And what happens if a country suddenly gets overthrown by a dictatorship or if some joke-posting about you wanting to blow up your mothers car gets you thrown into jail?
A large part of the problem is also the various people who do not see the long-term ramifications of nations wanting to log its citizens. They do not believe that such acts will not concern them, citing "they are not doing anything illegal". But what will happen if the ruling upper class gets its way? Will the proletarian grunts be mindless workers without a will to do a new revolution when that time comes?
People believe that the world is a great place to live in. But the upper-class people of France also believed that their world was perfect, until the revolution came. Revolutions are healthy for a world because it empowers the people to choose its ruling class, and not the ruling class to choose its citizens.
For a more new-age look into things, just take a look back a couple of years and take a peek on the anti-communist era of the western world. How many people were innocently framed during those times? It can all happen again!
I do not believe that a new distrobution is the way to go in creating new standards, but rather having an organisation who should sit down and define where you want those libraries and binaries installed, not how.
Because what I find frustrating is when trying to download some sort of commercial binary/driver that is only supported for the RedHat distro's way of doing things (where init.d-scripts are put and such).
I've tried various distros (Slack, RH, MDK, SuSe, Debian) and I'm currently stuck with debian because of its package-manager. A package-manager which has to follow certain policies which they have constructed on beforehand.
So my needs are well presented in how Debian does things, but I wish that I didn't have to do things the hard way whenever I find a redhat-package I need to implement onto my system.
Well, I've noticed some differences in how pdf-viewers handles things. xpdf only renders one page at a time (saving you cpu startup time). While acrobat reader on the other hand seems to load every page first and then show you the skinny.
Also, with xpdf you can easily search around in your text.
And I would like to see some figures on the "bug is found -> bug is squatted" timeline for various OSes. It really doesn't help much that one OS is really low on bugs, but the 20 or so that are found usually take up to a month to get fixed.

On a positive side, this could lend some good statistics on the possible dangers of having a wifi device attached to your skull all day.

And if you want menus with that, try Ogle. Works great for me.
