I've seen on PBS that US Treasury in the 1970ties has sold Money press machine to Iran to prin new Iranian notes. Iran than figured out that it was more profitable for them to print dollars than...whataever they used in Iran in 1970.
Soldering, repairing, and fixing mechanics has nothing to do with AI. Its just mechanics. Like car repairing. I can't see an engineer getting his degree for oil and lube change. I see the MIT students fixing little robots just the same. Its cool, its mechanics, but I don't see how's connected to AI engineering.

Mozilla 1.4b Loosed

I realy don't care anymore about its features. Its a fine browser as it is, however launching it on a Linux or Mac boxen takes long time -- compared to Opera or IE (on a Mac). I wish they could make Mozilla a little faster and lighter, than add features to it.

Similar, more powerful, device has been used by German police during hot pursuits. I'm not sure if its still used (because of the EU rules etc). Stop sticks are cheaper, although not as safe, and also don't kill the car as the EMG gun does. Oh yea, besides your dead engine/car you can say bye bye to all electronic equipment in the car; even your watch!
I used to work as computer tech in a recording studio. We had a huge CD library of samples, and database of who used what sample. I remember one day there was a big fight between two techno artists because they've used same sample in two different albums. Anyways, if you ever wonder how techno is made... its completely compiled from samples with one 'connecting track'. Its funny because those two guys who fought about the same sample were acusing each other of not being creative enough.
Gathering ideas for Linux Windows Managers

This nice article can be a good start for collecting some cool ideas for Linux WM's. I'm using blackbox and although I like its minimalist approach the future of desktop computers is clearly in the 'eye candy and preformance' department. I think even Apple's X interface GUI success shows that. So maybe we should get humble (again) and look in to windows/apple WM's and try to get few good ideas for Linux WM. I think Linux WM is aboslutley behind the Apple/Windows people. Lets face it: all good WM's with bad GUI's will have a serious Windows/Apple competition.
I'm not sure if I would want one of these phones. It is *known* fact that any radio equpment should not be close to the body for long periods of time. That radio equpment includes even walky-talky's, what to speak of cell phones.
Apple has some of the best PR people in the world. They've come up before with bombastic statements like OS 9.0 server running TCP/IP stack 4 times faster than Windows NT. Simply put: if this is coming from Apple I would check another source. Otherwise this is excelent news...if its true that is.
Dreamweaver with WineX (my experience).

WineX 3.0 Examined

· Score: 1, Interesting
I had success installing Dreamweaver 4.01 with version 2.x of WineX. Dreamweaver was very slow, and some of the tools like layers didn't work (crashing WineX).
It would be interesting to see if WineX 3.x can runner Dreamweaver in a productive
way. Any takers?
Apt is the reason why I switched from RedHat to Debian. Well, apt and availability of programs. There seems to be much more, much faster availability for Debian than any other distro. Yes, yes I know there is a port of apt for RH but in my opinion it isn't that good. Anyways, I wish apt would become a standard. Its great to see other unices adopting it.
1) There should be no single point of failiure on a secure network. Can't depend on a single firewall, VPN, or user password. Simpel rule: three keys/passwords/persons to open system critical 'doors'. 2) Secure LAN's are behind rings of security. Three rings is okay. More is better. Anything under 3 rings is SOHO stuff. 3) Use computer generate passwords. Yes, its hard to remember but its better than to depend on Joe to come up with something good. Force it on them. Remeber it will be your arse if security is broken, not theirs. 4) Do regular white hat scans on your network. Try to break in. 5) I don't run anything remotley, if you must than SHA1 and SSH2 are a must. 6) Use linux/bsd 7) Do complete backups every night (with HDAs getting so cheap there is no reason not to) 8) real important, arse critical stuff is not connected on a networked machine, such machine has no fda's, cdrw, cd's, usb's etc.

The average daily earning of an adult male (!) in India is estimated to be in the range of Rs. 80. If your internet connection is Rs. 825... well, can you do the math.

Go wireless only if you can setup VPN's for each connection -- otherwise you'll give connection to more than your apt complex...which is okay :-)
