IF NOTHING ELSE..
Maybe we can finally escape the "Pocket IE" crap.. how about mozilla for axim! Incidentally, anybody know what the deal with the Windows Mobile 2003 upgrade from Dell is? I got my axim a few weeks ago and I have yet to find how I can get the upgrade.
... I would conjecture you will not get an mail notification unless you have an MX record for your server... if you're running this from a home network, do you have a domain name set up? or just "you@127.0.0.1" - besides, your network connection probably wouldn't upload fast enough to really do a serious spammer any good.

Programming a dynamic PHP/MySQL website is "stupid easy" as a friend of mine says. I am so tired of seeing these "all-in-one" books. If they made a PHP/MySQL for Dummys book - it'd be 4 pages long. Maybe after reading this book, the websites write themselves. The hardest part of designing these websites ends up being whether you can keep the customer from changing their mind for long enough to push the project out. Criticisms I have for alot of PHP/MySQL combo books are that they generally don't include these:
- Good documentation on Objects
- Security Concerns
- php.ini explaination and configuration
- Memory Concerns
- Good examples of database normalization?
Sorry, but I think that if you've got a good MySQL database book, and the digital format of the PHP manual (available in multiple formats from www.php.net) You have everything you need but the server. INCIDENTALLY: MySQL not "robust" enough? 4.1 is going to hit you like a freight train.
To find defects while in orbit, How about electrically charging the exterior of the shuttle and then checking for inconsistancies in the EM field. (read: differences from a "good condition" exterior, maybe from a test conducted on the ground). Maybe this has already been suggested, who knows - but it might be worth a shot.
giga-what? giga-who? they had a song about jiggas, or gigas, whatever.
is a giga-watt 1,000,000,000 watts?
interesting that they need 1.21 giga-watts at 1:21 AM, what was the date anyway? Do they tell us why that is in the special DVD set?
If Microsoft becomes the owner of Macromedia and subsquently, flash - that makes flash evil by association, right? This should help all the anti-flashers in their arguments... Look! here come the trolls.
By "enemies of the state" I mean those in opposition to a given government. I didn't say terrorists, although they would more than likely fall under this category. I'm saying we are putting ourselves at a very high risk by getting these things up in the air and becoming dependant on their services and not giving them proper defensive mechanisms.
It's great that we have a well known band out there willing to pioneer this. If have an extra bit of cash, go over to livephish and buy some tracks, support these efforts whenever you can. Show Phish the/. effect. I did.
Doing a bit of math.
300,000 is the total sq. miles
or the result of
pi*r^2 (since the area covered must be circular in nature)
so, r^2 = approx 100,000
r = approx 316 miles.
THIS SEEMS LIKE A LARGE DISTANCE TO COVER.
(I am already warming up from the flames to come on the previous statement already)
Also - I don't like the idea of having these things floating over our heads to be blown up by enemies of the state at any moment. We will begin to rely on this wireless network and it is ultimately almost completely defenseless, plus no reentry to burn them up before they crash into the ground destroying a home or two. I realize I am being a bit pessimistic here, but I think this is just asking for trouble. Besides, how will they be powered?
The problem with this situation is not that MPAA is suing 321 Studios - we expect that from them. They should be suing them to shut them down, not to gain all their profits. This is yet another example that shows their "ethics." The MPAA have no problems with copying media - as long as they are the ones making the money off of it.
As an unrelated observation on the subject, it's odd that some MPAA members also produce DVD burners (SONY comes to mind).
I started with this service 4 months ago, GREAT SERVICE. A friend of mine was using them 8 months prior to that, no complaints from him either. Inexpensive too (I have the $29.95/year plan). They seem to use almost all Open Source software, but you can get frontpage extensions installed (and subsequently uninstalled) for no extra charge.. not that you'd want to;-) -- drawbacks are that you can't have huge online file archives, or serve "pr0n" - sorry if this was your plan. But great service none-the-less.

It's a 4-8 year delay. Clinton moved all your jobs to mexico. Let the flames get hotter!
when you know the link to the "recent innovations" is Ginger before you click it (and in fact ,I haven't clicked it yet, but I can only assume)
thanks for the post.. I was kinda hoping to find an "official" web page that says the upgrade was free. (on dell.com)

he's got his opinion and that is fine, the issue may come with the use of the term "Miss Vermont" which may be copyrighted or some such BS.

why not call it "TransluceX" - say it 5 times fast.

Ugly as Sin. I'm not one to critque "artsy" things, but it seems very unimaginative.

Mousepads are sooo '90s. This is a little over the top. What purpose does a mousepad serve for an optical mouse?

That's what I thought. March all your superfluous stuff to the round file, us geeks need our deskspace for actual useful stuff (or toys).
perhaps you could tell us who your (Go)Daddy is by posting a link to their website.
