Yeah,
Weird part is I have written all of my congress critters, even left my name with Sen Dayton's people as a volunteer when he was looking at spam legislation, Normy is the only one who ever wrote back.:/
It was so easy to hate Normy....now I might actually have to eat some crow with my Republican friends and think about giving him a vote next time....grrr
If MS had a sure fire way to stop people from pirating their software...
And I pray every day that they find a way to do this - they would surely go under in a matter of a few years - what MS cannot see is that piracy is the only thing that keeps them alive.
Ring! Hello? Hey RIAA! It's the software industry, they have called with a clue about how hard it is to make something "uncopiable". Take a message? OK.
Sir, I mean this with the deepest respect - but have you thought of open sourcing that browser you made??? I am sure there are folks that would like to see it - even massage the code some.
You also might want to send a note to Norm Coleman - US Senator (R)-Minn he has made statements that might help!! I am in no way a Coleman fan - but in this regard he is proving to be a decent man.... contact him here.
Bring your Sharp Zaurus and your laptop - both with external wireless cards with you - sets off the sensors every time, very funny too - "Sir we would like to inspect your bag" "My laptop bag?" "uh, yes sir" "This laptop has tens of millions of dollars of company secrets....you are going to need a cop, a city attorney, my persoanl lawyer, your attorney, and you will want every corperate lawyer (fill in box store here) they can spare before I open this bag."
Consider looking into the local branch of the United Way. Here in Minneapolis they run a volunteer needed column in the paper and I just checked they had at least 9 positions open looking for techies in Minneapolis/St. Paul. The cool part about the United Way is that they are a roll up of many different organizations. You can easily find one that you like and work with them. Hmmm...a place needs a database developer...might have to give them a call
Also look for something like this - Volunteer Twin Cities in your neck of the woods.
Three Phase ?? Really? I know what it is used for with moters but why on earth would you need it for a computer? The only thing I can think of is that you would want it to level out the power, but surly there are better ways.
I was told it is a package hook. In europe I guess it is still fairly common to wrap a package in string - so when you get the mail, you open up your swiss and hook the strings and acrry it back:)
My brother got me one of these for getting my CS degree...you are right there is not a more useful computer tool

Thank You for that....
The idea that they are handing my home phone number out (more than likely with some idea of my demographic) is a wonderful thought. Made my day, really. Really scary that is.

What language? what toolkit? I am sort of trolling (as in fishing - not /.) for an open source project to get involved in.
