How do I use it?

Just click "Set custom time" from the Compose view. Any email you send to the past appears in the proper chronological order in your recipient's inbox. You can opt for it to show up read or unread by selecting the appropriate option.
Is there a limit to how far back I can send email?

Yes. You'll only be able to send email back until April 1, 2004, the day we launched Gmail. If we were to let you send an email from Gmail before Gmail existed, well, that would be like hanging out with your parents before you were born -- crazy talk.
How does it work?

Gmail utilizes an e-flux capacitor to resolve issues of causality (see Grandfather Paradox).
How come I only get ten?

Our researchers have concluded that allowing each person more than ten pre-dated emails per year would cause people to lose faith in the accuracy of time, thus rendering the feature useless.

Their findings:
N = Total emails sent
P = Probability that user believes the time stamp
φ = The Golden Ratio
L = Average life expectancy

Saturn's First Eleven Years: April 1957 through April 1968

Taking science out of the lab and injecting it into schools, Interactions in Understanding the Universe—better known as I2U2—is transforming pre-college education.

An Open Science Grid virtual organization dedicated to providing teachers and students with the data and tools used by large scientific collaborations, I2U2 also introduces high school students to the power of grid-enabled e-research.

Real science, real data, real grids

Ranger—the most powerful computing system in the world for open scientific research—entered full production on 4 February at the Texas Advanced Computing Center at the University of Texas at Austin, U.S.

With 62,976 microprocessor cores, Ranger is 50,000 times more powerful than today’s PCs and is now the largest computing resource on the U.S.-wide Teragrid.

Ranger set to fuel new era of scientific discovery

In the great British tradition of "rob someone's house then leave your mobile at the scene", two London men have been jailed for burglary after the satnav system in the vehicle used for the blags stored the addresses of every house they hit.

Ian Bansie, 33, used his work's motor to ferry 31-year-old accomplice Steve Warrington to ten homes in Reigate, Surrey, completely unaware that the satellite navigation system was dutifully keeping a record of their crime spree.

Bansie will now spend the next 32 months in a place where satnav is of limited used - at Her Majesty's Pleasure - after Guildford Crown Court jailed both him and Warrington, the latter for an immobilising four years. ®

geoHist is a (relatively) simple program I wrote to log GPS data retrieved from GPSD into a
MySQL database. It is designed to meet the following requirements:

* Standalone
* Run from system startup to shutdown
* Small/fast, non-intrusive
* Robust
* Log data to an SQL database

Description

geoHist will poll GPSD every 10 seconds and then send that data to a
preconfigured MySQL database. It will attempt to detect if you are standing
still, and if you are then it will NOT log the data. It decides this using a
simple drift factor. It will always log position to the database at least
once if there is a satellite fix.

I designed geoHist to be used with my linux-based car computer. It is designed
to be configured once, and never touched again (except to export data).
System Requirements

* GPSD (http://gpsd.berlios.de)
* A GPS device that works with GPSD
* MySQL (http://www.mysql.com)

Anyone want to help me write a program to pull the data out of the DB?
