Here is a more recent article (August 2000), so it appears to be truthful. It includes more correct info pertaining to power vs. energy density as well.
Why not adjust the rankings I see on my page based on how others moderated them - but only if their past moderations were similar to my own?
So if people are modding up things I would mod down (or vice versa) their moderation has less effect on the scores of the posts when I view the page. You'd get more relavent posts fit better to your own personality because they are ranked by like-minded individuals.
I wonder if one of those devices to capture keystrokes could be used. Scan the items, then take it back to the computer and input the codes. Some of them are disguised as AT/PS2 adapters, so they are small. You'd just need a battery or some other way to supply the power.

I saw this on a kit that our school used to use for building multimeters in class. It contained a zero ohm resistor. It had one black band, and that's it.
I thought at the time - What's the point? Can't we use one of the leads we cut off the other resistors? I don't think it would make any difference.
The problem with ViaVoice, according to IBM's web pages, is that the Linux Beta does not have the training software the Windows version has. This is very aggravating because without any training, I'm getting only 30-50% recognition when I speak slowly and clearly. When trained, this should be much higher. Has any third party written software to train ViaVoice under Linux?
I wish I knew, too. Netscape (et al) tends to consume all of my system's memory until the swapping is continuous. Then I can't do *anything* at the console for extended periods of time, all the while hearing my disk thrash itself into oblivion. Couldn't the system reserve a few K of physical memory to handle stuff if it got full? Like shut down errant apps or at least give them an out of memory and let the process deal with it.
I know I can run Junkbuster and Netscape tends not to do this, but it shouldn't be allowed to take so much memory anyhow.
I thought one of the major problems with kids learning to read was making them memorize words. Phonics, though not perfect, appears to be better in the long run. It makes unfamiliar words more readable, as it is less guessing and more thinking. Spelling is supposed to be easier too.
I learned to read at 3 yrs old using a phonics based approach. It really helps to read early, since you can learn on your own from then on.
That's what I'd use, but I would also implement the single click hack for the dock. (I think it's on the WindowMaker page.) Many people find double-clicks to be a major problem when learning computers. Big icons/fonts are a good idea, too.

Maybe because I should have paid more attention - that link is already in post #28

I thought to travel at (near) light speed across 4.5 light years would take almost no time to the traveler but 4.5 years to the earth observer.
