(No, havent bought one yet since the car I want ot use it in has 6v electricals and i don't know enough about sparks to know if it would owrk, etc. but I do keep you bookmarked)
Yup, I've been thinking about doing something like this at the college I work for. Closest events in the calendar, any "broadcast" info, etc. Many at the college use Mozilla, so making it the home page (or call it from the shortcut so tehy can have their own home page) for the browser or that page that is oh-so-annoying in part of the mail/news window. I typically disable it in the prefs, but if it was info that actually pertained to me/my job/etc then I'd probably keep it.
Good education will teach skills and not teach to a particular application. For what 90% of people use something like Word, WordPerfect, or OOo Writer for is really basic, and how to do it really doesn't change much between programs.
Problem isn't so much bouyancy as it is resistance and "traction". A few dive weights solves the "floats too much" problem, but without flippers it will be hard to get enough "shove" in the water to move.
Only did a dry-suit dive once (just for the experience of the suiting up proceedure,etc) and since they can act as a flotation device (especially wiht the warm fuzzies underneath) it shouldn't be much of a problem... Hands, feet, and face will be awful cold though.
I just setup a small fax server for a small insurance office (15 employees) on a old Pentium 200 with 64mb ram and 2 USR PCI modems (class 1 fax capabilites) - 2 dedicated lines, one for in and one for out. Hylafax and some glue (LAMP, php-cli, mailm, and some bash script). Print to a samba printer (search for smbfax, then re-write it in a few lines of bash), sends email to smbusername@localhost, user checks email, enters destination number and some cover page info, fax sends.
Its been running for just over a month now, 3000 faxes in, 2000 faxes out, no issues.
IIRC Quake3 used separate threads for sound and video.
In my own experience with both a dual P2-450 system and a dual AMD 1.2ghz system is that the game will run on one cpu and the OS will use the other... simply balancing the load between both processors. Quake2/3/UT/ET ran on the dual 450s with comparable oomph to a single 1ghz system.
Never done it before, don't have the skills, etc. But....
1) Take a cue from Apple. They have hardware control and OS control, which means it is relatively easy to make an OS for that hardware - no (nearly) endless possbile combination of HW components.
2) Make it as easy as possible for 3rd parties to make software/utilities.

Yeah, I used to think that as well. Accidentally read a few of their articles, each excellent, first time I thought it was a fluke, second time a coincidence, 3rd time there had to be something. Seems the CSM has a rather good reputation for unbiased/unfiltered news, especially international.
Why on earth would lexisnexis (or any other site providing a service) need a customer's SSN? Ok, some tax sites I can understand if you are electronically filing, but for anything else?
Wish I had mod points for you... this is a battle I've been fighting here at work (English students don't need MS Office, OOo works for 99% of what they do, etc)
Used to play QuakeWorld on a 14.4 modem. Yes, lag was bad with pings of about 400ms, but it was constant, and learnable. Not like sudden spikes or dropouts...
I use the opposite theory. I tell 'em I'm using a old Mosaic browser on Win 3.11... then a few minutes later when they confirm, I mention that I'm using QNX, or Be, or OS/2 or whatever the hell I can think of... eventually they realize its just a router and a web page, and the OS doesn't really matter.
Actually, this can be a very effective tactic. I got one guy sweating since he took 4/1 off as well as this past week. He *fears* what could be waiting for him Monday morning, especially the way we were all talking it up before he left....
Once you get some sort of degree (aa/as/etc) or at least some college credits and certifications, whether you have a GED or "real" HS diploma is kinda unimportant.
The parent here said "AAS" degree, which is a combination of an AA and an AS, so when you go for a BS/BA+ more of your credits apply, etc. Not all colleges take them, and those that do don't take them from all the CCs that offer them.
Also, if you choose to go to an online college/university be sure they are accredited via SACS or a similar group.
Many times it is a RPM limiter on the engine. Speed = rpm x gearing (plus stuff about tire diameter, etc). For example, in one of my cars 3000 rpms in first gear is good for 12mph, in second it is good for 30mph, 45mph in 3rd, and 60mph in 4th (standard gearing for a '65 Porsche 356C). So assuming there was a limiter to keep it from going above 70mph, then you wouldn't be able to go above 15 in 1st because you'd have to limit the rpms.

Naw, you need a hammer and some corn meal. To fry the catfish with. The ones you catch using the snails as bait.
No, but it seems more British to us dumb yanks...

I do like the idea of an outboard motor though

You kidding? More room for Boobies links (or Weiners if you are into those...)

Only original Quake I played on a LAN used IPX, not TCP/IP. Of course, traffic is traffic right? /old skool gamers need to stick together
