LaTeX to bystroTeX should be easy, although I do not yet have a working converter. BystroTeX produces HTML. The syntax of bystroTeX is Racket Scribble, it is very similar to LaTeX so writing a converter should be more or less straightforward.

If I were a dentist, I would clone myself from a tooth

Because of the insane import tax, personal computers are very expensive in Brazil. Maybe this project would help people who cannot afford buying a computer.

Would you prefer Perduino or Pidorino?

Idolatry is a manifestation of laziness. We believe that Einstein had some special brain, as an excuse for not exercising ours. A person has extraordinary achievements. The easiest thing for others, is to proclaim him/her a ``genius'' and take it easy.

I written wmjump some time ago, for switching between workspaces and applications. Here it is: http://code.google.com/p/wmjump/ This uses ``hints'' similar to Vimperator's. If I had more time, I would maintain it more often. But it works, more or less, on all window managers which support EWMH. I use it myself (with xmonad), and I still think that this is the best format for switching windows.

I tried to use wave, but never figured out how to use their whiteboard. Now I don't remember what was the problem. They did have a whiteboard, but for some reason it was not usable.

Actually, a large part of the classical music is religious. Which could be considered a form of social control

That's why US should adopt 5-year plans, at least in academia. Then we might be able to catch up. Seriously, every US university should just increase the volume of their scientific publications, say, 10 percent every year, starting this year.

I think this is only true in a 2-body problem

By the way, does anybody know how to open a document in Linux, on a given page: (a) in gsview and (b) in acroread ? In evince there is an option --page-label . But how to do this in gsview and acroread?

Very well written sillybilly! But I would like to add a thought. We lost expertise, freedom of creativity, etc, because they are now useless. All that technological progress was driven by discoveries of fundamental science. But in the recent decades we have not made any serious fundamental discoveries. Fundamental science slowed down. Therefore, we should expect that applied science/technology will slow down too. Yes, we can build hybrid cars. But that will only cut oil consumption by half. This is clearly not enough. The resources are running out, and science/technology simply cannot help. I doubt that Japanese or Chinese are better than us, in this respect. I am afraid that creativity is not very useful anymore, and so instead of talented engineers we now have, here in US, talented lawyers. And strong army.

It is because Microsoft Windows is so broken, one would want to run everything inside Firefox. This is the reverse of a "sandbox". The word "sandbox" usually means that whatever you run inside the web browser is potentially harmful and should not be allowed to affect the operating system. But we want the opposite. I think we want to isolate ourself from the sickness of our operating system, and do everything in Firefox.

Take a drill and take it out!
