As part of the negotiations, the British government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as Euro - English (Euro for short).
In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly, sivil servants will

Drivers on the street that pass in front of the building could only see it for a few seconds when they were right in front of it and also looking up. I doubt it was much of a distraction to them.

Seriously, i too love computer gatherings but isn't going to camping a little too much? (I think there is also a Userfriendly comic strip with this subject.)
I just don't understand why it is cool to do a Pc/Hacking gathering in a tent.. maybe i am getting old..

However I would not say that camping and computers don't mix. I love backpacking for weeks on end. Now generaly I have never taken a computer (or anything like it) on these, because getting away from that stuff is half the point. But I have this idea in the back of my mind for if I ever get totally burt out of working - preplanni

Every 12.4 seconds brief subliminal messages are displayed in the Blinkenlights display. Some, not all, of them were captured using high speed video:

This article has made my day. Hell, it reminds me of the time my uncle gave me a few bucks to design a "switch simulator." I cleaned out the LED supplies at 4 Radio shacks, and assembled a psuedo-random blinking light pattern. He needed something to fill in an empty rack at the data center.
For kicks it included a voice recorder chip, and speed adjust. A miracle what can be accomplished with a few NAND chips, NOR chips, a BCD counter, and a whole lot of solder.
Hint for kids trying this at home, tie the LED's to the supply (+), and let the discreet components open the return (-) part of the circuit. 60 LEDs consume a surpisingly large amount of current. Forrest E. Mims is your friend...
