Chalk up another XMonad fan. Discovered it a year or so ago, and can't believe I didn't try it many years ago. It dramatically improved my efficiency.

Base pi, obviously. Then the ratio works out to 1.

You must have exceptionally polite coworkers. Or none at all. I wish I could just say "Don't bug me right now" and have it work. Admittedly... they usually /do/ need to ask me something, but dear lord I wish they would all just leave me alone for a few days. I'd get so much done.

Are we sure they weren't just hosted on Bluehost?

Even so, I'm leery of this. I'm reasonably confident the FCC won't approve the proposal, so I'm not really worried. Just being watchful.

As an Extra Class license holder, I sincerely hope this doesn't get approved. Yes, it's restricted to only emergency communications, but allowing encrypted transmissions at /all/ means that any of them could be from non-licensed individuals, and brings into question legitimate uses of the airwaves. Leave our airwaves open!

Until the first person needs to call 911 with their newly bricked phone because their house is burning down because of the thermite charge they just set off in their washing machine.

Definitely up and running, although people say it's been a little inconsistent.

I just asked the folks at QRZ if anyone can confirm this. Hopefully someone there has good gear for checking on it.

I don't know exactly how many I ate, but I know it was around 500 fewer than I burned from exercise and general metabolism in general yesterday.

I subscribe to The Hacker's Diet, and don't bother to precisely track my intake. I track my weight, using an exponentially smoothed average, and calculate the difference to figure out how I'm doing on keeping my intake under control. I've found that simply recording my weight each day and watching the smoothed average is enough to make me change my behavior and start eating better.

<shameless_plug> I also recently created and launched a new website based on the methods The Hacker's Diet teaches called TweeterDiet which allows you to utilize peer pressure to encourage you to keep your diet going by letting all your friends know how you're doing. Check it out if you're interested, and trying to lose weight. It's under active development, and I welcome all feedback as I try to improve it.</shameless_plug>

Here's the wording from the bill:

No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state shall use salt in any form in the preparation of any food for consumption by customers of such restaurant, including food prepared to be consumed on the premises of such restaurant or off of such premises.

Seems pretty clear to me.

Great tool that pools the resources of multiple servers to proactively block IPs that are trying to brute-force the SSH port on any server in the pool:

http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/

I use it, and it has Just Worked for years.

That's slandering Lewinski, not Office.

I haven't tested it thoroughly, so I don't know how much of the VI command set it implements, but Komodo IDE has a 'vi' mode, and I believe it would fulfill your other requirements as well. (As a plus, it's fully cross platform, so you can use it everywhere)

... Um. Wow. Just wow.

See, I worked as a microsoft support tech for a while shortly after the release of Windows ME. A dark period in my career, I'll admit. But aside from a few nice troubleshooting tools (msconfig FTMFW), ME sucked beyond belief.

Troubleshooting Step 1: Reboot. If that solved the problem, we told the customer it was fixed, and to call back if it happened again. Really.

And at least once a day, I would determine that a machine was beyond recovery, and we would FFR it. (Fdisk, Format, Reinstall). And my experiences were pretty standard, from what I heard around me on the support floor. People who had transferred to the ME support team from 9X complained about how buggy and poorly designed ME was.

*shudders* So... no. ME was not the best of the 9x line. Arguably, 98SE was the best, although some people preferred 95.

Also, the article completely messes up the history of 2000 / 9X / ME. 2000 was /NOT/ the hybrid of 9X and NT. 2000 was the end of the NT line, and a damn fine OS. I ran it for many years, until my last CD bit the dust, and I grudgingly updated to XP.
