I was talking about the local public library, not the Library of Congress. Important distinction, sure. But, alas, you must have missed the section in second grade history where they explain the levels of government: Federal, State, LOCAL.

Funny how the US government provides a public institution to provide the public the very thing you are describing. Its called a library;)
Hmm, funny that. The library provides, free for all, copies of many many books. Sure, you can't keep them, but you get a chance to read them (the point of a book).
I *cringe* to think of the cost of shipping all that. He's got 21 boxes, each about 69 pounds. Thats 1449 pounds for you non-math wizards (and 658.6 Kilograms for the rest of the international community).
Think of all the bubbles you can pop after unpacking the bubblewrap!
That is an impressive amount of stuff he's got there. Figure he was working somewhere and got surplus? Or just a enthusiast (understatement to the nth degree)
Why not just use a special stick on dot that is a blatant and obvious color? Use that to track movement instead of a facial feature.
Sure, it doesnt look as cool, but would probably work alot better.
It provides mail notification, handy browsing from the tray, handy access to search, the mailto assocation feature (and automatically backs up the old settings so it can roll back), shortcut creation, and a few more features. Has everything I need.
The multithreaded SMTP Uploader/Mail importer tool is almost done as well.
Seems Google is trying to steal the thunder from the independant utilities, which at this point, are all far superior (GSuite, Gtray, etc)
Pure genious, eh? Infact, they can keep this up for a loooong time without ever going "public". Eventually the mass majority of people will have gotten an invite, so going "public" isnt quite as needed.
Then again, going "public" can be quite an event in of itself, which I'm sure is what they are hoping for. This invitation thing just makes it seem "elite", so that people want it more. Beautiful.

Most of the electricity is hogged by the monitor. Without your monitor on, the net sum of your electricity consumption is actually rather small.
Anyhow, its alot easier for a million people to pay an extra 10 dollars a year to cure cancer than 10 people a million dollars a year. Think about it.
Bah! Now we can have our toasters connected to the internet! Now Wonderbread can collect data on how we toast our bread (as this is very important. A perfectly toasted bread is a work of art, a fine balance of ingredients making up the bread, and the correct settings of the toaster. If, for instance, the toaster heating coils react negatively with the main wonderbread ingredient, the work of art would be ruined), and how many times a day we eat bread (err, toast)

Just something to ponder.

Especially the part where the space elevator comes whooshing down and wraps around Mars several times.
Glad we aren't planning on making anything like that...err...

"Cosmoe is a new user interface that runs on top of the Linux operating system"
Which is absolutely nothing like AtheOS or Syllable, which are scratch coded OS's.
Thanks! Looks fascinating!
