From the official website: Wireless embedded sensor networks. Nice, something like this could power my remote control by 2007. Well. I heard it was featured in Sensor magazine, which I've never heard of anyway. The project looks a bit dated, but not too much. Any other people out there who know about this?

I suppose this is directly on your computer, right? Not a remotely controlled server/web host?If this is on a web host then they may have disabled the mail() function for security or something. I really can't get you past there.

Your mail() function is probably turned off. As for how to fix it, I have no clue.Sorry

The perfect OS for me would write drivers for my hardware and develop itself from the inside out during the installation process. It would also serve me homemade ice cream every hour, on the hour. That would be so awesome.

That Desktop menu on the right reminded me of the good times I had messing with the now open-sourced GEM/3. Those were good times.

Briefly:I'd reccomend PCLinuxOS, which is (IMHO) the user-friendliest Linux there is. It has excellent hardware detection, and it comes closer (for me) than any other distro has to "just working".ReactOS has BSOD's? Really?

Apple's tests indicate a performance drop of 38% with audio-video apps. I think things like Core Animation, the user interface, and audio-video apps deserve some kind of cut-down version of the G4 Velocity Engine (AltiVec) on a chip, handled by one of the Core 2 Duo's cores. I've never seen or heard of Leopard's TTS capabilities, but they had better be better than Vista's. Dear God, let's all hope Apple won't take a lesson from Windows Vista.

I disagree. Within hours of Windows' open-sourcing, millions of hackers around the world would be fixing bugs and illegible code left and right, not to mention modularizing Windows and building in bits and pieces of Linux, GNU, maybe even some old illegal System V code. I don't know. But, the system, whether better or worse, would be so different in each and every area that the average joe virus wouldn't work. Thus, virus creators would write viruses, causing hackers to create fixes, and creating the chain which is Linux today. Well, maybe not, since Linux has no (stable) API's, and won't ever. Oh, and in response to the person who posted before me, Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X have hybrid kernels. And, while Microsoft would suffer a HUGE hit, I think they could still market the Zune or whatever else they have going on, like MS Office.
