I wish the Dvorak keyboard had caught on.

....they were asked, a referring to the comment, "Green and colleagues argue that...we should reframe such a discovery, so it isn't presented as a single moment when aliens are announced to the world."

Looking nervously around the room he replied, "....no reason...No more questions."

Subsonic? Or a clone of subsonic like airsonic?

Regarding clock cycles, the largest bit of software I wrote (in BASIC) on the Coco3 was to calculate and draw a mandelbrot set. This took between 12 hours and a full day. I found many tricks during programming to speed this up. For example, assigning a value of "." as in "a = ." was faster than using "a = 0". I've forgotten the rest of the speed tweaks. Well, except POKE 65496,0 and Poke 65497,0.

Genius post. This comment made my day. Thanks!

I did this as well. I took it out when the USB ports started letting out some rather smelly black smoke. ..that's how I knew it was 'ready'. It was successful as well.

My favorite so far. Getting around the requirement of having a paid monitoring service for my alarm panel to get notifications of simple events such as arm / disarm.

Get alarm panel. Wire to Linksys voip adapter. Give it extension on asterisk voip server. Configure asterisk with AlarmReceiver so it will understand the Ademco codes via the voip adapter. Configure that to write to a tmp; and another script found online to parse that to decode events and send appropriate email.

I just found all the portions online, so not my hack at all; but just amusing steps to get an alarm panel I actually own to send email events.

You can increase the size of a zpool. Just replace the drives one at a time, wait for the rebuild to complete between each swap, then export / import your pool and it will now reflect the larger size. I understand there may be an autoexpand property on newer versions, but I have not used that personally.

This search seems to tell a different story: http://www.google.com/?q=site%3Amicrosoft.com+metro

Will take them a few days to clean that up.

Also, don't forget other sources into the house - cable, POTS, others.

... it's just passing gas.

Those are all amazing videos though.

Thank you, this is one of those posts that cement what I like about the 'ask slashdot' replies. You hit it right on the head with your comment about people not getting it, or so mired in doing it 100% correctly at the start. No startup would ever start if they had to be 100% correct. And a lot of the posts that seem to be deterring for various reasons seem to indicate by their content that they have never actually looked at some of the offerings and how they work.

Great post.

These are the responses I look forward to reading in the 'Ask Slashdot' threads. Not the banal accusations of 'OP just wants /. to do my job for me'. This is thoughtful, informative and should provide some sort of direction for getting to a reasonable starting point.

Thank you.
