Yeah I saw this on opening day. Jet Li rules. The movie's historical heart is in the right place and Qin Shihuang would have liked it I think.

I've been asking for weeks how can Zell Miller claim to be a democrat. He claims his party has sold out the ideals of Truman and FDR, but I think he's just gotten more senile w/ age.

Okay so here's the deal. Setup your gps. Stand very still. Collect data from GPS to computer for about an hour. Submit data to these canadians. They do ionosphere corrections on the data. Email you back exact co-ordinates. Typical corrections are sub-meter with a lower practical bound of 1cm.

] GmailFS provides a mountable Linux filesystem which uses

] Python application and uses the FUSE userland filesystem
] infrastructure to help provide the filesystem, and
] libgmail to communicate with Gmail.

This is a fucking brilliant idea! If I was giving out an award for hack of the year this would be in the running. Yes, python is a brain crushingly inefficient way to implement a filesystem, but Gmail is still likely to be the bottleneck. Google probably won't like this because they don't really expect people to use all of the space they have, but they probably can't stop you from doing this either. Got to port this to OSX!
