The internet will replace your telephone, television, electricity, water, gas, and sewer. Rather, everything will come and go to and from your house through a single "big pipe". It will be a marvelous future...
Suppose you made a grill for the bottom of the mower deck similar to that which covers the blades of an electric razor. This would allow the blades of grass to reach the rotating blades while keeping fingers and toes safe. Perhaps finding one of those big furnace registers like you see in old houses would be the way to go.
Have you considered artificial grass? It comes in a variety of colors and never needs mowing. Mine is "Misty River Green". With the optional circulated brine heating system, you can have a lush green lawn all year around, even when your neighbors' lawns are covered in snow. I recommend GrassCo brand Artificial Lawn Carpeting with its realistic texture and patented Flow-Thru (TM) drainage system. As a homeowner and lawn care enthusiast, I can assure you, GrassCo brand artificial turf is the only way to go.
Of course, the reason that Hotmail is 25 MB, and Yahoo is 100 MB, is because Hotmail runs on Windows server, which needs the rest of the space for its system files.
I figured Microsoft would try to turn Hotmail into a category killer by making it UNLIMITED!!! (Actually, they would promise it, but never deliver) They would of course pay for this with the OEM tax on new computers.
This is true about public infrastructure. If a city tore out and repoured its sidewalks every three years, the citizens would be up in arms about such a waste of money. But with computering infrastructure, this is just accepted. Even projects funded by entities such as the WPA, which were intended to generate employment, were built to last. Many of the sidewalks in my town still have the letters WPA cast into the concrete. In fact, the Munich Linux installation may become one of those seemingly permanent pieces of public infrastructure that future generations will marvel at for its solid construction and longevity.

Also, if you are looking for a cheap means of mobility, consider building it atop the chassis of a cheap remote controlled car. this gets you a powered rear axle with a differential, plus a steering mechanism, a suspension and rubber tires. Other models feature independently controllable caterpillar style treads which can enable tighter turning radii.
How 'bout after each post, go to the blog, then go to file->save as...
It will be HTML, but it could be restored fairly easily by opening the html file in a web browser and copying and pasting into a new blog's post page in another browser window.
It would be inconvenient, but not as hard as you make it out to be.
Anyway, visit my blog. There is a link in the sig. I try to write about interesting things like life on other planets and token-ring adapters rather than just posting the typical masturbatory grousing you find in most other blogs.
That's just amazing. I remember back when I was in college and couldn't afford a good hard drive. Instead, I scrounged several cheap, small drives and an extra IDE card. My PC, built into an old server tower, had seven (7) IDE drives totalling about 5 GB in disk space. There was so much rotating mass, you could balance the PC on its corner and watch the precession.
He mentions that the book is about defining true random numbers. Now then, this suggests that randomness is a matter of degree, that is, some numbers are more random than others. I suppose the best way to determine the most random number is to poll people to pick a random number and see what the most common choice is.

This sounds like something that would cause cancer.
Oooohh... I can't wait for the class action lawsuit.
Actually, I'm still waiting for the article on War Spelunking.
Actually, with Diebold, you could have War Voting.
The Bush Administration announced today that the next State of the Union Address will be delivered using Ronald Reagan's voice.
And if they did run a program that reported back to Earthlink, was it too not counted as spyware?
I sure hope so, because this would really piss off the RIAA by making people aware of what these CDs are doing.
Actually, the average Windows machine would have more than 28 if Macs and Linux systems which have none are included in this survey as well.
But instead bought an old 1 GB harddrive on eBay for 50 cents.
Well, surely the Microsoft brand name is worth paying for. No?

That username/password combo doesn't seem to be valid for slashdot at all.
I don't know if its subscription or not, but entering slashdot.org at BufMeNot brings it up.
This could ultimately lead to a reformulation of Moore's Law. Thus, I propose k4_pacific's hypothesis:
The number of processor cores doubles every eighteen months.

Apparently Microsoft's tour bus crashed because of a faulty driver.
Basically, the report concludes that moving the Moon to Mars is both impossible and pointless.
