But, if we get something going from LA -> Sacramento, I'm hoping that it will present enough of an incentive to go to the larger Oregonian cities on the way to Seattle.
I'd like the ability to block images from a site without actually visiting the site.
Right now with Mozilla, if I want to block images from goats.cx (or whatever), I need to visit the site, view the disgusting image, right click, and select "Block images from this site" (or go to Tools: Image Manager: Block images from this site).
Dean Kamen [usfirst.org]'s super advanced robotic wheelchair [dekaresearch.com] is far more impressive (a lot of the technology behind the Segway comes from it).
Indeed, this goes to show that the parts in the Segway are much more impressive then the Segway itself. Quick charging technology, self-balancing technology. I'd love to see this stuff put incorporated into other things like bicycles.
I generally spend my time on the command line, but I could see how it might be a difficult concept for a child to grasp in its first few years, especially while its motor controls are still developing. (i.e. no touch-typing yet).
Hey don't worry about it.
It may look like your 1 year old is pounding random sets of keys with her tiny fists, but she's really just typing Emacs key-sequences...
Damn, I came up with this idea when I was 12 years old. There go my retirement plans...
As I understand it, UV light hits the earth at all hours.
Does anyone know how much UV hits the earth during the night? If there's more then a trivial amount of light at night, it means that these new solar panels could potentially generate electricity 24 hours a day.
Even if the nighttime energy generation is 1% of the daytime energy generation, it's still a great improvement over today's solar panels.

You can sue all you want, but it doesn't mean that are right or that you will win.
Apple sued, but they lost., because Apple was not the inventor or the GUI interface. They borrowed the GUI idea from the Smalltalk project which was created by Xerox and PARC.

I believe that you are allowed to emulate an interface, as long as you can prove that the code underneith is unique.
This is why IBM produced Intel-like chips for such a long time.
And today, you can run a Windows or Linux system on top of either Intel or AMD chips. You don't need to install a whole other OS. Why? Because the AMD chip emulates the Intel interface.

I was using one of these radio wave generators to construct my own personal spacecraft last week.
My friend and I were sitting there in the station, and were getting real tired of the annoying noise being picked up by our stereo. We were getting really bored bored, and as you know these things take hours, so we decided to see what would happen when we broadcast some hard rock via the device.
And it worked... mostly. All was going well until the end. All of a sudden, about 3/4 of the way through Jimmy Hendrix playing "All along the Watchtowner", the craft started spinning around wildly, and smashed itself to the moon where it shattered into a million pieces, and then it set itself on fire.
I can't figure it out...
And then my sister put in some Michael Jackson, but I don't even want to talk about that...
My former organization (an NGO) attempted an single signon project for inn, rsync, & Apache 2 years ago. This was to be: a newsserver server, a webfrontend of the newsserver, web publishing, authoring tools, etc. We decide that LDAP was probably the best solution for a single signon.
Unfortunately back then, the software wasn't up to snuff, we had limited development experience to improve the existing tools, and we went bankrupt, and handed the project off to some other NGOs.
I've been recently laid off (Different company), and have been researching this project again. I'm amazed at the amount of progress that has been made since 2 years ago. It seems like LDAP is a good solution for single signon projects.
Apache 2.0 has added native support for LDAP, ldap; and there are several low-profile INN+LDAP projects out there (No large formal projects). I hear it's a good solution for remote-transfer users, like your 'scp' project.
Wow! I just installed this new 3Ghz machine, and now Nethack runs at over 200FPS, even with full alpha light rendering and environmental audio turned on full!!!
The only thing MS "wants" is to increase revenue. Secure systems are typically less friendly. Therefore, until now, MS has not wanted thier systems to be secure.
Hey, let's be fair. Sure, MS wants to increase revenue. Who doesn't? One of the ways that any software vendor increases revenue is by improving their reputation. You increase reputation by fixing bugs and patching security holes.
Let's face it, if Windows and Windows apps didn't have all those security holes, there wouldn't necessarily be a need for Linux.
i have nothing against other closed source software publishers like oracle, sun, compaq or apple. but then that's because they are not actively targeting my hobby, my livelihood and the hobbies/livelihoods of my friends. they do compete, but not in an agressive and frequently unethical manner
Yeah right. Oracle, Sun, Compaq, IBM and Apple would attack you in a heartbeat if they thought it would improve their bottom line.
It wasn't that long ago when Apple and IBM were the competition-crushing-FUDing-"It will only run on Apple Hardware" behemoth, and Microsoft was the rebeleous start up.
>>>he can't use Evolution because you can't edit existing message and resave them
It's not really a saved email message if you edit and resave it. Few people have the need to edit a saved email message especially from within the email client.
You can edit the Calendar and todo elements from within Evolution. If that's not enough, have you entered your request into bugzilla? That way others could support your idea if it's a good idea.
And then there's always the commandline... the files are right there, and they are plain text. Might screw up the metadata if you make too many large edits, but most email clients will have similar problems.
But really, don't expect Ximian to support every obscure feature request out there.
Yeah, I think the final switche happened when I needed a good program to maintain my contact list, and an easy way to send email to people in the contact list.
So, it was either Pine + some ascii contact list + perl scripts , or it was evolution.
And then I needed a todo list that was integrated with a calendar...
Now all I need is for my Calendar to connect to various iCal or other calendar servers, and for my todo list to integrate with Bugzilla, and I'm set!
NNTP support is available, but it's not enabled by default (The code is unmaintained), and Ximian has decided to focus on more important projects first.
I think you can build from source with --enable-nntp.
I have to admit, I really want Evo NNTP suppport.
I just want a single news/mail reader. Pan is ok, Mozilla NNTP doesn't work for me, but I really want tighter integration with my mail client.
(Pay no attention to the trolls. They're probably just 15 year old immature boys).
I've used pine for the last 8 years, and it's a great program. I still consider it easier-to-use then Evolution. I've switched between Pine and Evolution a dozen times in the last 2 years. My fingers still autotype the Pine keybindings.
Several things that Evolution has over Pine:
- It's not just an email program. It's also a Contact Manager (Pine only has an addressbook), a Calendaring program, and a Todo list. - Pine does not display message threads very well - More intuitive message filters - Simpler to setup multiple mail accounts - It displays HTML and Graphics appropriately. My friends/coworkers keep sending me HTML email (HTML can be useful in email sometimes), and Pine munges 1/5 of the messages...
Ah yes, but it has one major feature that OE doesn't have. It runs on un*x, which means I can use a decent graphical email/Calendaring program on my OS of choice.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm not sure if this new plan extends into Oregon,
Oregon isn't in the recommended routes yet.
But, if we get something going from LA -> Sacramento, I'm hoping that it will present enough of an incentive to go to the larger Oregonian cities on the way to Seattle.
Yes, but there's a big difference between paying $5-20 to not see ads on Slashdot and $700 down payment for this tracking device.

Hey man, this is Slashdot. We were all THAT guy :)
One of my good friends even added some small solar panels to his watch, so it would charge the batteries in the sunlight...
Of course, the batteries burst and burned a hole in his shirt. But still, very geeky...
And type quickly before the batteries run out :)

Hey, nice resource. I've actually had need for some of that information in the last year.
Yes, people really did wear tight shorts like that... although really, Bert and Ernie and Indiana Jones are the same today as they always were.
You just wait a few years until some whippersnapper makes fun of the 90s! "MY GOD, LOOK AT THOSE TATOOS!"
At least the tight shorts can be removed...
