However, something worth mentioning is that the Sony is slightly smaller and significantly lighter than the 12" Powerbook (4.6 vs 3.1 lb, quite a difference proportionally). It may be close enough to compare with the Apple, but its design was targetted differently; it sacrifices some features and some value in trade for improved portability.
With all portables, there is a tradeoff between cheap, light, and powerful. Pick two:)
It occurs to me that this system could seal a major hole in the concept of wireless security. As we all know, the biggest problem with trying to lock down a wireless network is that it's basically just a radio broadcast and anyone within range can easily tap into the signal (whether they can get anywhere from there is another matter, but theoretically it's always possible to crack through software guards). But if the triangulation worked well enough, then a system could be set up to, say, detect if a client is sitting on the ground in the alley next to the building, and if so shut off the connection to that client. Or it could be used to limit wireless access to only clients in certain offices or floors - no access for random people in the lobby, for instance.
To my thinking it would be rather difficult to account for the timing and duration of the electomagnet, given that as the pendulum moves, the magnetic field's pull on it changes constantly. At least with this method, you have a set force that can be applied to the pendulum in order to correct it, which makes the programming a whole lot simpler.
Check out POPFile. It runs as a local email proxy, and it modifies the headers and (optionally) the subject title of incoming mails so your client can categorize them easily. That way it works with any email program, just have the spam dropped into its own folder where you can scan and delete it.
I recommend giving it a week to "learn" how to sort your mail (you [re]categorize mails in the POPFile interface as they come through) before actually using it to filter, otherwise you will get a lot of false positives as it starts out knowing nothing.. but for me, after a week it never got one wrong again, and I don't get much email at all on the work account it filters.
I disagree. Granted it takes a few minutes' worth of digging through options, disabling Real's default settings of grabbing all kinds of non-Real file associations for itself, killing the retarded "StartCenter" (tray applets for windowed apps suck!) and stopping it from reporting on the Internet... but after that, it actually behaves itself quite well.
In contrast, when I had XP installed, there was absolutely no way, after any amount of tweaking, to make Media Player 7 go away and just have (mplayer2) run all my videos. Sure after running down every association in Folder Options and pointing it to mplayer2, it would work for a while, and then I'd hit some MS file format like a.asx or.wmv, and Media Player 7 would magically reappear, and steal back two dozen file associations for itself.
I tell you, it's the most annoying crap ever and it's the number one reason (as usability goes, let's not get into DRM and EULAs) that I will never run XP.
The problem is that decoding ogg requires more powerful hardware than is currently practical in applications like these, or even "regular" sized hard disk players.
In a year or two maybe ogg will get some support in these small mp3 players, but don't hold your breath...
I remember reading that one of the big underground factors was the porn industry - they decided they'd sell VHS movies and not Betamax.
So if you've got the resources of the porn industry, you can pretty much screw anyone you like.
Well... that's kinda what the porn industry is about, no?;)
GL Quake always had shadows, dynamic lights, and transparent water. (For the latter, you needed to patch your.pak files to add VIS data... head here to get VIS stuff.)
Though I haven't tried it out, Tenebrae appears to be less remarkable than what I've been playing recently, TeleJano. This one adds all sorts of neat effects - shaders for explosions and lightning, more advanced particle effects, rocket trails and smoke, new textures, rippling water, and volumetric fog (currently seems buggy). Some of the visuals approach Quake III quality!

A precompiled release with this code will be coming out very soon."
As soon as it finishes buffering.

Sure, but you'd need some good error checking routines to compensate for dangling chads.
is that sort of like Windows Security?

Unfortunately, that would violate the DMCA, and you know you haven't got a chance against the kind of lawyers God Himself can afford.

For instance, it is impossible to copy a qubit.
