Creating LPD Filters by Anthony Lawrence (Feb 29 2008 18:45 GMT) - 2008/02/29 There really should be no reason you'd need to do this on any modern Linux, but I had a client with an old RedHat 7.0 system who wanted to control the output to a laser printer, specifically to make it print Landscape orientation. Hard to believe, but "printtool" on that version provided no such option.

Partitioning for Linux by Robert Heller (Feb 29 2008 18:45 GMT) - 2008/02/28 Robert Heller Deepwoods Software Abstract This article discusses some of the things to consider when planning the partitioning of a Linux system. These considerations include thoughts on how different directories will be used and how the usage of different directories might suggest how to partition your disk space. Also my thoughts on the relationship between backup strategies and partitioning are covered.

Symbols and Apes by Anthony Lawrence (Feb 29 2008 18:45 GMT) - 2008/02/27 Photo by Frank Wouters I watched Ape Genius on PBS the other night and was particularly struck by two segments. The first had young children with an adult who showed them how to "properly" get a candy treat from a box. The method was intentionally complex, involving pointlessly tapping and moving levers that actually did nothing. Chimps were also taught the same procedures and both children and chimps learned how to get the candy.

Measure by Anthony Lawrence (Feb 29 2008 18:45 GMT) - 2008/02/24 I play poker once a week. It's just dime ante, with a limit of 3 raises, so the largest possible bet is eighty cents and even a round of 7-Card Stud is unlikely to involve more than a few dollars from each player. I usually do pretty well, but of course have bad nights now and then. Sometimes that's because I'm playing stupidly due to being over tired, sometimes it's just having an unlucky night of very good but second-best hands. I know how much money I bring to each game and I count it the next morning so I know how much I won or lost.. |

Ball Computers by Anthony Lawrence (Feb 29 2008 18:45 GMT) - 2008/02/22 I happened to be at Logan airport last week and while waiting for a flight to arrive I noticed the large "ball" structure/machine by George Rhoades. It looks very similar to these pictures but is titled "Kinetic Frugality". It's a structure of various sized balls that roll through tracks and strike chimes and bells as they roll along. Electric motors lift the balls back up to their starting points when they finish and the whole process restarts. Oddly I don't find that at George Rhoades own web page. |

Last Words by Anthony Lawrence (Feb 29 2008 18:45 GMT) - 2008/02/20 I wonder how many bloggers have thought about posting something after their death. There was a recent case of Andrew Olmsted, a soldier who arranged for just that. He left a touching post, so if you don't want to get all teared up now, you may want to put off clicking on that link. Here I'm going to talk about more mundane matters: how you'd arrange for such a post to occur. |

SCO's still kicking? by Anthony Lawrence (Feb 29 2008 18:45 GMT) - 2008/02/19 I see that most Linux folks are very surprised by the announcement that Stephen Norris Capital Partners plans to pump money into the dying patient in the hope of resuscitation. Actually, I'm not surprised: SCO's assets do have value and if handled correctly they still could have a place at the table.

polyethylene glycol (Feb 29 2008 18:45 GMT) - [quote]No. PEG is very stable. However, temperature does have an effect on the growth rate. Acids are generated while bacteria or fungi grow.

Can I Actually Watch The Superbowl Live Online? (Feb 29 2008 18:45 GMT) - All you need to get access to the NFL network is by installing a simple software called PC satellite TV. With that installed on your computer, you would be able to access thousands of satellite TV channels, some of which you could get with cable-TV, direct TV, or Dish Network. You would thus be able [...] |

Your Take: Splitting Checks (Feb 29 2008 18:45 GMT) - Reading this brief post on Alpha Consumer on money etiquette brought on a thought about a weekend several weeks ago with a bunch of friends. I spent part of Saturday afternoon at a local Baltimore bar called Lime drinking some margaritas with some of my friends, BS’ing about the week, and drinking some more margaritas. [...] |

Plastic bags a premonition from 3 years ago [Fay Olinsky] (Feb 29 2008 18:45 GMT) - In 2005 I re-vamped a short story I had written when I was working in service to a wealthy Belgian woman. I used it to enter a competition here on Ecademy for a short story with a given opening line. In light of the plastic bag situation I thought it was rather poignant and topical so here it is..... Plastic Spring. The gravel hitting the window caused me to wake with a start. |
