If the water heating was significant, then the pool would be hotter on the days that you want to cool off in it. That would suck. But swimming pools have a lot of thermal "inertia", so maybe it wouldn't affect the water too much...
Sounds great. This is in the basement, though, and you have to go down there for your bread and fruit? That is sadly inconvenient, or it would be almost perfect.
I was thinking of putting the refrigerator in such a room (but at ground level) to save energy to run the fridge, especially if the fridge door could be in the kitchen. A pantry or mudroom would be perfect... just modify the existing doorway and stick the fridge there.
I suppose if the fridge is in there giving off heat, though, I'd need another room below it in the basement for semi-perishables that don't need full refridgeration, like the bread and fruit. The below-grade stuff is basically a form of geothermal cooling.
Great idea!
That only identifies your incoming mail server(s). While some small- to mid-sized organizations have one server doing double-duty, bigger folks have a slew of incoming-only and outoing-only mailservers.
This is what SPF is meant to provide: "reverse MX" of sorts. It's a decent idea, but suffers from the need to be evangelized and heavily adopted to make an impact.
Then get a PDA, such as the Tungsten C. Get a big 256MB+ SD card (or microdrive), bluetooth card to go through your mobile phone (or a cable), and you've got it all. Or if you'd rather have the phone built in than WiFi, Tungsten W or Treo.
OK, it's relatively slow according to the PopSci article, and they say it flies so high that it would detect incoming SAMs and move. But what's to stop a fighter from shooting it down at altitude?
Hey, how about breaking out the ol' antenna if you want to catch CBS shows during an outage? Not that hard. And if you have an HDTV set, you should be using a digital tuner anyway. Then you actually get a better picture than Dish can provide.
Granted, I only have ultra-basic analog cable myself, so far.
Verizon is the only other national carrier with an analog network. Some Sprint phones can roam on it, but Verizon has the biggest network and most their phones are dual-mode so they can use analog. Make sure you get a dual-mode, tri-band phone, and you're Verizon phone will sound great and work just about anywhere.
I "met" Mr. Venema at a trade show. He is definitely on par with these guys: wrote TCP Wrappers and Postfix, and knows more about security than anyone I can think of. He's also just as charismatic as Linus, as far as I can tell.
It should probably be pointed out that there is cropping done as you describe to the original shot, but also some re-shaping done by lenses at both the shooting and projection ends, thanks to Panavision(TM). We've seen examples of the director watching prints in the editing room where there's a big ~4:3 ratio frame and a little white-line box where the end result is framed in widescreen. This area, I believe, is what is printed to the final film, which is re-distorted back to realistic perspective in a widescreen frame ratio (1:2.35?). So you're right, not all that is captured by the camera's film even ends up at the projectionist's booth.
Of course, I'm sure Panavision or a film professional like my dad could explain it better than I can.
A NAT box can forward certain ports to an internal server, which would have the knocking ports closed but logged. Then the end user doesn't know if the ports were blocked by the NAT firewall or by the target host, but the target host knows if they got knocked. Not that hard, and it doesn't reveal anything to a sequential portscanner.
Sounds wonderful, you're living the January 1999 dot-com dream! Takes me back to a simpler time, when any geek could get paid with made-up Internet money.
The article states that he anchors from Florida "for two weeks in the fall and two weeks each month in the winter". That's half the entire Boston winter and then some.
it says "communit{y,ies}", meaning essentially "community (or communities)". Writing it as communit(y/ies) would probably have made a little more sense to more people.
This isn't abandonware in the traditional sense, where copyright is "relinquished" into the public domain. Rather, they are transferring the copyright to another organization, for them to retain copyright and re-license as they see fit. Assuming they GPL it, the code would be distributable and enforcable accordingly.
The file selector is for the "save" function also, so it makes sense to have new folder. As was mentioned earlier, the "send love to Eugenia" widget was an example for the ability to add application-specific features, such as a quality slider in GIMP when *saving* JPEGs.
Wait, what happened to the delete button? This one the one thing that made me respect Windows 9x when it came out! I hated not being able to perform minor file maintenance, in the application that made the files where it was convenient to see them.
New feature, or easier to use = improvement. Remove feature = disappointment.
This sounds like an infomercial. We provide the software and the service, and all you have to do is cash the checks! It's so easy! Just listen to these successful clients!
Didn't see this mentioned yet. Geeks need exercize, and what better way than to give them outdoor electronics? GPS is great for geocaching, and the Garmin Rhino includes an FRS radio. Personally, I'd love a combined digital camera and MP3 player, which Panasonic now sells. Excellent portable storage and media device, with memory cards that could plug into a PDA when away from a PC.
You know, the scientists that come up with theories saying "that would cause the universe to collapse on itself" must be very pessimistic. Last I checked, nobody's proven it...
Not anymore. I think it was actually posted on here over a year ago, when Yahoo dumped the contract because they already had their own system in-house.

Now you've got me drooling.

A little rounding error there... Ivory is famous for being 99.44% pure. So what is that 0.56%??
No, and we don't have 100,000 people living with us.
51Kw/100000 =~ half a watt per person. That doesn't seem right...

Exactly! Same goes for Good Morning America. Who works 8-5 and watches that swill?
Besides, us granola Oregonians would rather find news online than read all those dead trees.
