Like others here, I've had very bad vision since I can remember. I've worn glasses during my waking hours for over fifty years. In the 70's I wore contact lenses, which worked very well for me. Now, I've got a condition that gives me permanent double vision, which is only partially correctable and only with glasses. I hate my bad vision. It's an unbelievable, never-ending hassle to me.
However, I would *never* allow any doctor cut flaps or grind on my eyeball in an attempt to rid myself of my eyeglasses. Although I despise my eyeglasses, I love my eyes, which I hopefully will still be needing for some decades into the future.
That's the problem with these procedures. They haven't been doing them long enough to know what the long-term effects are. I cannot imagine trading off my vision later for mere vanity or convenience.
Thank you. I think I'll suffer with my specs. I *know* that they will not render me blind. I don't know that cutting flaps into my eyes will not do that.
He takes impolite to a new high. His arrogance is exceeded only by his inflated ego. In my life I've never met a person who is so obviously into only one priority--himself. The man has no heart, no soul. I fail to see what value he has for our movement.

If I wanted eye-candy and stability I'd run Enlightenment...
Wait a minute. I *do* run Enlightenment. Eye candy--Good. Stability--Good. Security--Good.
I guess I don't need Vista.
Anyway, who in the Sam Hell wants to read text that's skewed. The 3D stuff is just a gimick, totally worthless in the real world. My Enlightenment configuration gives me all the eye candy I could want.
Hey, Rasterman. We need to see E 17 this year. I hope, I hope.
Of course, there's also the standard programming texts by Stevens, Kernighan/Ritchie, and others. But these four books are ones which can give insights into programming beyond syntax and method.
In particular, Godel, Escher, Bach is my all time favorite for training the brain to think like a programmer. Yes, it's long and convoluted. But it takes the reader on a personal journey which I've not experienced from any other source. If GEB is not on your bookshelf, it should be.
The others are along the same line, but more directly approach the solution of problems. Any programmer should have them on his or her bookshelf as well.
No stupid mysterious hypothetical, but never directly observed, anti-gravity forces. No accelerating universal expansion. This might return some sanity to cosmology. (I know, I know. Who says nature has to be sane?)
No more dark forces. (Other than than the Bush Family Evil Empire, that is.):evilgrin:
I have had an HP Business Inkjet 1200dtn which is the dual-tray, networked version of the BIJ 1200d. Costs of running this printer are very, very low. It has four ink cartridges and separate print heads for each. The cartridges are huge and cost $34.00 each. The print heads have the same price and I get about 2000 pages off each black cartridge and plenty off the colors. In fact, I still have the original half-sized yellow ink after printing 5600+ pages. I am about to install my third full black cartridge. I have replaced the Cyan and Magenta colors once. All the print heads are still original and are doing fine. They should last quite a long time.
I'm pretty happy with this guy. It works well and is robust enough to handle large volume work. The second paper tray is large. Print quality is very good.
I cannot speak for its performance printing photos, but it may be a good benchmark for expenses. Note, that this is a *large* device.
I've had a history of nerve damage from years of hacking. After years of frustration I solved the problem with a better seat. For me, the arm rests are a problem, causing nerve damage in my elbows from hours with my elbows resting on arm rests. Not good.
I solved the problem with one of these. Great seat. Best of all, the Capisco has a very high lift enabling you to half stand. You can sit sideways, and even backwards on it. Very flexible and comfortable.
Here's a link. Made in Norway. There are dealers in the US.
Remakes, sequels, TV sitcoms, CG crashfests, blood 'n guts gore fests, etc. There's no there there.
Why would anybody want to pay the extorted prices to see the dribble coming out of Hollywood? It's a vast wasteland. Any creativity is limited to creative ways to exploit the latest pop trends and pseudo-clever CG. Nothing produced in Hollywood has artistic value.
Einstein was awarded the Nobel in 1921 for contributions to physics, and especially the photoelectric effect which demonstrated the quantization of photons.
E = hf
where E is energy, h if Planck's constant, and f is frequency. The energy of light is limited to a multiples of a constant (h) and determines the color (frequency) of the light.
Without this, Bohr doesn't develop his electron model and a lot of twentieth century physics doesn't get discovered.
I'm currently agonizing over the decision to build a Mini-ITX or buy a ready made MiniMac. I'm probably going to do the Mini-ITX. However,...
Unfortunately Mini-ITX is not cost effective. One has to specifically want either an extremely small, or extremely quiet computer and be willing to pay the admission price. The MiniMac offers both at a very good price (comparitively).
In order to compete with MiniMac, a Mini-ITX box would have an MII-12000 MoBo ($200+ US) plus a small box like one of the Casetronic Travla's (~$150), low profile memory (~$80), a slim optical drive (~$80+), and a notebook hard drive (the only cost effective peripheral ~$70). Total cost, ~%570. The Mini-ITX would have user service-ability, Compact Flash + PC-Card, and better connectivity. But the G4-based MiniMac would blow the doors off the C3 Nehemiah-based Mini-ITX box.
Until Mini-ITX components come down in price, the MiniMac might be the more cost effective solution. But only in the very small, very quiet computer market. As others in this forum have already pointed out, one can build a faster X86 box for less money. If one doesn't care about small and quiet, that's the way to go.
What in UserLinux requires that Debian release a new stable release? Why don't you select the best packages from Stable + Testing? Then, you get some cutting edge stuff where it's important and you get stable where it's important. That's what many other Debian-based distributions do.
Claiming that UserLinux needs Debian to release a new stable release so that UL can use it sounds a bit like a big cop out.
During the 1980's and 1990's I lived in Wichita, KS
and was very active in Democratic politics. In
conjunction with those activities I got to know
quite a bit about Dan Glickman and his family.
In short, he is a compassionate person who is as
far from being an ideologue as one could want. I cannot think of anybody as MPAA director who would be better for the free software movement.
I suggest that those developers involved in software projects which are impacted by MPAA policies get in contact with Dan and present their cases in a reasoned and non-confrontational way. We may be able to partially turn around MPAA silliness.
If I were going to spend this much I'd have gone with a good refractor, like an Astro-Physics, Takahashi, or maybe something radical like an APO Max. Any of these would be worth a wait.
If I absolutely had to have big aperture, I might choose one of the big Dobsonians like a Starsplitter or an Obsession.
With this guy's telescope budget alone, one could have a great Dobsonian plus a phenomenally performing APO refractor plus have enough left over to throw in a pair of good astro binoculars with a nice parallelogram mount. That's a whole lotta astronomy, much of it portable.
The Meade 16" is an impressive looking piece of equipment, and it does a job. But being impressive looking doesn't equate to impressive performance. I suppose some people are seduced by fancy advertising claims and the look of a beefy fork mount and pier. But the status of a fixed observatory is outweighed by the fact that astronomy is the most fun as a movable hobby/profession. Plus there's still the problem that a SCT has technical issues that limit its use. One could still spend $150,000 for an observatory for the binoculars + APO refractor + Dobsonian, but one doesn't need to. I'd spend much less on the observatory and use the savings to go to places of optimum seeing, taking my observatory with me.
To some people everything is form over function.
This guy now has a minimally useful east coast observatory that cost him nearly $200,000. What a waste. I'll bet his friends are impressed, though. So maybe it serves it's true purpose.

How are they going to police this? ...and still maintain any semblance of Constitutional protections?
How are they going to enforce this?
