minimalist type approach, not too resource intensive, looks nice, usually acts nice.
cntrl+shift+numlock to allow you to use the numpad of your keyboard to move the cursor around, 3 button functionality; really cool, i dont have a link handy, but basically hit those three buttons and your numpad becomes a mouse, choose between the 3 mouse buttons by clicking one of the top (nearest to the top of the keyboard) 3 buttons in the numpad, click with 5, click and hold is either 0 or . or something like that... for those apps you still need mouse you still dont have to move your hands off the keyboard...
put these 3 pieces together and you have a relatively good-looking, nice-acting, not-resource intensive, no hand moving between keyboard and mouse for the lazy among us...

on the subject of importing goods from Iran; recent changes in policies have allowed rugs and pistachios to be imported from Iran "The Clinton administration lifted an import ban on Persian carpets, caviar, and pistachios, from Iran last March as an overture toward Tehran. But contrary to European governments, the US has still blocked major business deals, specifically in the oil industry" - http://www.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/meast/03/17/us.iran. 03/index.html Re physically sending money; even if it got to Iran, postal officials would rip it open (to inspect if it meets Iran's Islamic Standards), and magically the money will disappear; as well as any pictures or videos that are sent which may contain pictures of women not wearing veils, pictures of alcoholic beverages, etc.)
nice and small, just an executable; no installation process
but the coolest thing is that the copy and paste is not the keystroke-intensive ctrl-c/ctrl-v, but rather just mouse highlight and clicks, just like in X windows, actually more like on the console (gpm?).
The best way to make sure students check the NG is to ONLY distribute announcements via the newsgroup.
That means, NO announcments in class AT ALL.
As long as you tell the students that they are expected to read the NG regularly, then there is nobody to blame their laziness/ignorance on but themselves.
For example.
Prof: "Class put your notes/books away, to take the quiz." Students: "Oh shit, what quiz?" Prof: "The quiz that we announced 3 times over the past 3 weeks on the Newsgroups" Students: "Newsgroup, um... uh..."
after that, I guarantee you all the students will at least attempt to read the newsgroup.
besides class discussion, make sure to provide useful information for the students, like updated grades that are posted weekly, or something like that.
Actually, the real reason they changed the name is so they wouldn't have to put up with the crap in the comp.emulators.freemware newsgroup with fools who think it is another WAREZ emulator group.
Let's take a look at recent posts in the group.

SGI - cool hardware This is a bit of an understatment, but there is no way RedHat can possibly even touch SGI. They may be able to snatch up divisions that spin off of SGI, but there is absolutely no way for RedHat to takeover SGI. SGI is just too big. Redhat, even with all of it's big name corporate ties, is still a relatively small entity.
"... if they'll lower prices once they've paid for development." Probably not, but they will have to once the generic equivalent comes out. Drug patents are 17 yrs in length. But the drug company patents it immediately after it is discovered to work in rats. So that was probably ~ 8-10 yrs ago minimum. So about 7-9 yrs are left on the patent. After the generic equivalent comes out (assuming it is equivalent) they will be forced to reduce the price to stay competetive
From what I remember from Immunology I believe that the immune system will respond to even just a few virus particles.
So what this drug probably does is reduce the number of active virus particles to which the immune response has to mount a response, reducing the severity and length of the disease.
So, I do believe that the patient will still gain immunity against the virus.
What needs to be done is that somehow the "general public" should be informed of what a fraud LinuxOne is.
There is much evidence: - the SEC S-1 xerox of Redhat's - they have no real product - their web site runs a stock copy of RedHat, and probably doesn't contain any of the patches - i.e. can be rooted relatively easily - it's imaginary customer "Power Source"
Sometype of mainstream discussion; that is out of./; a column in Wired? a column in a paper?
Whatever can possibly be done, so that the good name of all that is Linux is not brought down by these fly-by-night, wannabe IPO, frauds.
I signed up with the testdrive program back in september and have been using it since for alot of coding. Quite cool indeed.

From the linux page on Prisma Technologies web site, it describes using embedded linux as a solution for the Touchpone: (run through babelfish)
"Solutions Linux Embedded
Between the plans based on Linux and from developed we we can cite the Touchphone, an intelligent telephone that allow to send and to receive telephone calls, fax and electronic mail, beyond to having funzionalitá of agenda and organizer. The interface customer is imporontata to the maximum semplicità of use and is based on display a LCD and a touch screen; keyboard does not exist, if not designed to video.
The telephone is based on one platform relatively simple and economic hardware. The presence of Linux in the Touchphone is only revealed to the ignition and the extinction; for the rest, the interface graphical customer purposely designed completely hides the real one complessitá of the machine.
The robustness of the kernel and all the atmosphere is testified from the migliaia of exemplary of Touchphone near the final customers with highest degree of satisfaction. Between the other, Touchphone does not demand administration from part of the customer, of all the unaware of one of trovarsi to use a true Unix system to the inside of just the telephone.
Prisma Engineering has developed completely the software of the Touchphone, realizing from zero the applicativi and adapting the software giá available for Linux. Particular attention has been dedicated to the configuration of the kernel and the distribution of installation, choice purposely for the funzionalitá of the Toucphone.
Analogous solutions to the Touchphone, in which the presence of an operating system standard is hidden the customer and all the system is dedicated to the realization of a particular one funzionalitá can be adopted in many other fields, from the consumer to the instrumentation.
The advantages can be reassumed in a null cost for the royalties of the operating system, joined to one extreme affidabilitá, advanced to that one of many commercial systems. The disponibilitá of sources of the kernel not standards and the realization of driver dedicated to peripheral new concur hardware adaptations or however not standard. "

But, the difference b/w Lenore and Spears is that Lenore is a hollow-headed "ho" and probably gets money from her parents, whereas Spears is a hollow-headed "ho" who gets money from the public.

Also, I'd rather not talk with any of the bunkernauts about any of these.
Just to point out their target audience: "If you print this page out, it'll make it easierfor you to remember what you picked."
Contrary to the Britney Spears and Will Smith posts I have seen, if anybody actually looked at their site they would know that the 6 people are:
Mike Carson Lenore Davis Zack Goodman Tina Kim Moe Kyle Michael Michael
Basically, nobody I have ever heard of; Seems they have pulled people out of the "general", or should I say, "MTV viewing population" ( big difference !! between these two populations)
This guy is a psycho. Listen to what he had to say in a press conference in April of 1998
"The essence of the conflict around the Jewish people is that when their number grows too much in some country, war breaks out there," said Zhirinovsky, who leads the third-largest faction in the Russian parliament's lower house.
"That happened in Germany... where there were too many Jews," he declared.
Zhirinovsky, a former presidential candidate, has a flamboyant style and clearly relishes making provocative statements.
It was not clear why he called the news conference, which he turned into a monologue about his vision of the history of the Jews and their role in contemporary life.
"Many Jews were born in April," was the only explanation he provided.
Makes me sick. All I can say is that this guy will be put in his place, soon.
Old dude probably can't even turn on a fscking computer, let alone hack into the US. Now, I'm defintley not saying there are capable individuals in the former-USSR, cause there defenitely are. I just know that this guy is a racist nothing, and will be put in his place
The US probably has enough strings attached in Russia, to throw this guy with a nudge of a pinky finger, but that's left to be seen.
