As an Opera user I haven't been on google front page for years - I just use g in url bar to search for whatever I'm searching for

Wake me up when smart "phones" do 1080p 3D (two CCDs) @ 60fps, for 8h on one battery.

The best growing "solar panels", freely available! :)

Or maybe some vegatables in a garden?

Even better example :D

That's interesting. I learned basic on Spectrum when I was 6 but unfortunately I had no one to help me advance to assembly on zx80. Also I was too lazy (even back then) to save my programs to tape, so I focused on shortest programs that would give me interesting result and that I could type from memory in a few minutes. Things like exploring behaviour of x=rx(1-x) function etc. Consequently, now I'm a sysadmin ;)

Just use Opera. It does what you want for some time now.

I'm impressed how while academia is all high on grids, billable cpu time, fault tolerant and robust distributed computing, in place live upgrades, all that is already in natural evolutional development out there in the wild. I'm sure that the botnet uptime numbers they get are much higher that any commercially available cloud, while running on household PCs with household broadband connectivity.

I think it's time to embrace the true nature of wild wild web. Where can I rent this botnet legally?

"It is well-known in our community that there is no scientific, firm way of actually completely verifying and validating software."

Um ... did this guy ever heard of formal verification? Or is math proof not good enough for him?

Actually I have one such system down in the basement. 386DX fully loaded with 32mb ram, 40MB mfm disk with 8bit ISA controller. Last time I played with it I put in isa scsi card and a 4gb scsi disk + cdrom, but I still had to boot the installation from floppy, which is a bit of a pain to do these days. Debian 4 works fine on it and afaik also supports mfm/rll disks.

Yes, e17 handles multiple monitors in the only way that is logical to me and I simply don't understand why things like Gnome or KDE don't work in the same way.

For example:
With gnome on two monitors I get a workspace that spans both monitors. So I can drag windows from one monitor to another. But when I change virtual desktop, it gets changed on both monitors. That makes the second monitor rather useless.
With E17, I get a workspace that spans both monitors with addition that each monitor has its own virtual desktops. So I can drag windows from one monitor to another and when I change virtual desktop, it gets changed only on the current monitor while the other one remains where it was.

This E17 feature is so important to me that I'm willing to suffer all the other bugs E17 has in order to have a normal, productive environment.

Install cygwin or Microsoft'w own SFU (services for unix). They give you sshd under windows, init scripts, NFS mounting etc. SFU is actually based on openbsd userspace.

You wouldn't belive it, but all AoE appliances by www.coraid.com run plan9 internally.

It was

POKE 23641,194
RUN

and the same address with value 197 that produced really interesting results.
