It never quite went away - on my Panther machine it's in the MacOS 9 Applications folder. But this means they've updated it to OS X, which is nice. I have an OS X version from the guy who wrote it for Apple. It's been a free download for ages. Try http://www.pacifict.com/FreeStuff.html.
That's common on search & rescue helicopters that spend a lot of time over water. Things like Sikorsky S-61s and Sea Kings have them so that the helicopter can land on the water if it's really necessary. They're fitted to the outriggers that hold the wheels on the ones I've flown in.
I remember just after 9/11 receiving an email from someone advertising some useless rubbish like a non-accredited degree or similar, which had been edited to say something along the lines of "Anti Spammers Support Bin Laden", before launching into several paragraphs of crap claiming that by adding their email address to your filters/using RBLs/etc you were supporting terrorism and "going against the American Way". How that applies to me living in the UK is beyond me, but that's another story entirely...
I hope whoever sent that one gets kicked off the net forever.
I wouldn't actually go too far down this route: I would stick to the Slackware-supplied glibc, gcc and such like for the same reasons that the Pure LFS hint exists. Some interesting things can happen to the toolchain doing stuff like that.
Not sure if I'm actually making any sense, but I think I do...:)
...and for some reason I forgot to delete it (it arrived last week). On having another look at the source, it seems it has an attachment called live.scr with screwed up MIME headers, so Mozilla won't display it. Looks to me like a virus is faking bounce messages and claiming "The attachment is the original message" in order to get me to run it. Heh, nice try, that's one of the reasons I don't use Windows any more...
Another point is that a lot of people start coding projects like these as a learning experience. I once tried (and still am in a roundabout sort of way) to write a web server in Java, when I already have Apache and Tomcat and a whole range of other ones in just about every language you could hope for. I tried so that I could learn more about programmming in that language.
You never know, I might just release the source and beat the Apache Foundation at their own game...;)
What happens if the RIAA take action against a user based in another country? AFAIK the RIAA and the US Congress have no legal influence in the UK for example:o)
Slashdot Mirror
...short enough to maintain interest but long enough to cover all the important bits.
(Maybe more relevant to documentation in general, but whatever)
There is a gardening company that works round where I live. I've noticed its vans now say "Landscaping Solutions" instead of just "Gardeners"...

Not sure if it's quite what you're after, but it looks interesting. I almost bought one recently.
So, being eMaculated will make you feel like "one of the guys" again? :)
War Extreme Ironing?
...that the Red Hat "kernel development systems engineer"'s name is Stephen Tweedie, not Tweed :)
...that there's a big OSDN Personals ad at the top of the comments on this article?
Nah, keep the network transparency. I use that quite a bit, as do a lot of people I know. Framebuffer would be nice though.
Since when has this been a browser, as he says at the bottom of the article?
