Build it into the dash with a non-slip dash pad over it, put an iTrip on your iPod, and hit the road for 17+ hours straight. Forget about plugging into the cigarette lighter to recharge the iPod.
Would it be possible to combine this type of technology with Bluetooth (or some other wireless technology) in a case to create PC internals that didn't require cables to be ran to them for data and power?
If that would work, the case could be shielded to prevent your neighbors from snooping on the data being transmitted over the air from your HD to your controller, etc.
I'm not a hardware person, so maybe this wouldn't be possible, but it would be pretty cool if it were...
I may be wrong, but doesn't the posture necessitated by this type of device lend itself easier to causing carpal tunnel?
With the hand angled up higher than with a usual mouse, it seems that more pressure would be placed on the wrist where it touches one's desk.
It seems similar to raising one's keyboard with the little legs on the back of it, which is something I've heard also can help one develop carpal tunnel syndrome?
While the church may have never explicitly endorsed a single candidate, they do endorse political positions. And in doing so, they implicitly endorse candidates who support those positions. Take for instance the issue on same-sex marriages. The church did endorse a position opposing such marriages, and thus, the LDS people will by and large now view a candidate who opposes that as a candidate that they, as members of the church, should not support.
Here's a site from KSL (a Utah media group, partially owned by the LDS church I believe) that demonstrates the fact that the church does indeed endorse certain political moves. http://tv.ksl.com/index.php?nid=8&sid=105019
As a tax-exempt religious organization, they are by law supposed to all political messages, and I find it disgusting that they do not and are yet able to keep their tax-exempt status.
The point of all this though is, Hatch is a candidate who will support the politics the church supports, and thus will be nearly impossible to get voted out in Utah.

Hatch Pushes INDUCE Act

I early support your calls to get more voting, but I see one issue w/ this concerning Orrin Hatch.
I live in Utah, and have lived here for 15 years. Until that man himself wants out of the Senate, my guess is that he will continue to be re-elected by the blind masses here in LDS-land that follow the political directives of their church. Its a tragedy that these people are directed against thinking for themselves so much of the time.
But yes, we need to get more people voting, so we can those who would oppose Hatch's agendas in other states into the Senate, so we don't have to worry about him anymore.
I don't believe that if GNOME support would really "improve" if SuSE switches to GNOME as a default. In fact, that would only make me worry for the health of KDE.
GNOME is already the default on RedHat/Fedora, so it has a major player backing it. And with the decision of Perens to use GNOME with the upcoming UserLinux, GNOME will probably pick up a good amount of additional development, especially if UserLinux succeeds where its meant to: the corporate environment.
Well, I don't know about p2p spam this way, but I do know the RIAA spams me on Kazaa...
Half (okay, exaggaration) the songs I download are clips for their anti-piracy campaign, which I could careless about. I equate this to spam for penis-enlargement pills. I don't need either of them.
Hmmm for today's defacements, I see there have been 16. I also see that they have all taken place on Win2000 servers.
Also, while viewing these stats, I saw a banner-ad at the top of the page for Zone-H that says Windows is the most insecure OS and that 51% of defacements are performed on Windows servers.
I'd also say that he was probably meaning two distros that will make significant impact on corporate desktops in the near future. I would have included Mandrake if I were him, but besides that, I don't really see many other distributions making it into the corporate world on a large scale. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there are many other distributions that provide customer support like RedHat and SuSE do (Mandrake could go here as well).
Sure, the Linux community is great for support through forums such as LinuxQuestions.org, but I really doubt that fact will satisfy management of large corporations.

If you subscribe to the DowJones Newswires [dowjonesnews.com], then there are a couple other articles regarding this story. There is also a story on Reuters [reuters.com]
IBM, in its countersuit filed in federal court in Utah, alleged SCO had breached the general public license for Linux and infringed on IBM patents, according to the court documents. SCO is based in Lindon, Utah.
In its 45-page complaint, IBM claims SCO Group's products violate four IBM patents and claims SCO Group does not have the right to revoke IBM's UNIX license. IBM also claims SCO Group has violated the general public license, or the GNU GPL, under which Linux is distributed.
The Armonk, N.Y., computer giant seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction requiring SCO Group to stop violating IBM patents and refrain from misrepresenting its intellectual property rights.

Scroll down to the k's... there are updates specifically for SMP kernels.
Sometimes I wish this would just get to litigation now, because I believe things like this will screw SCO. But then again, IBM has the money to destroy SCO in negotiations... either way works for me.
I'm going to have to say that I really think the wrestler (orignally born Darryl Peterson) is jumping into this for the money. I have met his son Derek before because one of my best friends used to play in a band with him. I just find this kinda sad because I know that Darryl claims to be a Christian (my old soccer coach used to be his pastor) and Christians aren't supposed to sue each other. (1 Cor. 6:7) As a Christian myself, I take that to mean I shouldn't sue anyone, but I'm sure other Christians disagree. The article at this link summarizes my position fairly well. http://www.christiantimes.com/Latest%20News/Lnew_c hristian1.html
Also, here's an article on this story in the Salt Lake Tribune to give a local perspective. http://www.sltrib.com/2003/jul/07262003/utah/78687.asp

Here are some instructions on how to install it on a Gentoo system.
Even if you aren't running Gentoo, I'd imagine it would point you in the right direction to install it on other distros.
