David Bar-Tzur's home page (http://www.rit.edu/~dabdis/) has links to pages about interpreting for religious topics; maybe they'd be of some help.

This page has a lot of links to info. The EIA standard is now EIA 708B, and like other standards (ANSI, ISO, and so forth) you get to buy a copy of it. The W3C people (who maintain/improve the standards for the Web) have a group called the "Timed Text Working Group" that want to set up...

Digital TV is supposed to have a lot of new features for captioning. 64 colors eight fonts (really sixteen, since they can be italic or not) small, medium, or large text sizes potentially lots of captioning services on a single channel up to eight windows for a captioning service...

Sure. Mozilla is free, and it will block popups.

Where to donate? It's a bit far from New York, but the Central Iowa Computer User Group runs ROCK (Recycle Old Computers Kindly), where they refurbish old computers (even there they have constraints--among PClones, Pentium or better only; there are a LOT of old 386/486s out there, I guess) and...

RE: How much is it worth? Alas, not terribly much. Computers depreciate very quickly. I see your computer uses Rambus RAM--that will make it harder to sell, as even Intel has gone over to DDR these days, and I don't think you can trundle over to CompUSA or Best Buy and pick up some Rambus RAM...

I'm trying to get Closed Captioning working with a (few years old) Hauppauge WinTV card under Fedora Core 1 Linux. ntsc-cc works, but I want something that looks like the familiar TV image rather than a separate text window with the CC, so I'm trying to get zapping to work. RPMs in question...

I've done it... I'm just starting out. (If you want to see the results of my initial attempt, look at http://www.agnorum.com/) CSS is VERY useful, because it separates the logical structure of the document (which is all HTML started out to define) from its layout (i.e. how it looks). Because...

Don't sell yourself short. HTML isn't that hard (especially if you get a nice program like Bluefish, with a syntax-aware editor that will complete tags for you and suggest options). Linux isn't difficult, either. It only looks that way because you're used to having the operating system...

It depends. I've used Red Hat, and the only complaints I've had are that they tend to be a bit behind the curve with respect to the versions of packages they include, and more seriously, they don't include an HPFS driver by default. So for the dual-boot OS/2 and Linux box I went to Mandrake...

I don't know what the medication was, but I've heard of the book in question: it's title is Black Like Me, and the author is John Howard Griffin. It's a famous book, and has gone through many reprintings, so it should be pretty readily available. Perhaps it gives more details.

OK, that's your choice. I hope you'll give some thought to trying out Mozilla Firebird. I grabbed it the other day, and I'm impressed with the speed with which it starts and with which it loads pages.

First home/school computer Yes, I do remember. The first one at school wasn't really at school; it was at a nearby university, where I was lucky enough to get in on an eight-week seminar where we got allocated time on the computer: a Data General Supernova with four ASR-33 Teletypes attached...

Linux on Mac? You might want to check out the Yellow Dog Linux site, http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/, for more info on how you can do that with Mac. I just looked, and they have a rather nice sounding PowerBook with Yellow Dog Linux preinstalled for sale.

The link is to a file that by its extension claims to be a JPEG file. I presume that the "JPEG file" is ill-formed in a way that takes advantage of some buffer overrun security hole in IE in order to run code that opens the CD drive tray. So cheer up, Windows users...it could've formatted...

I can't stand popups either...so I take advantage of Mozilla's option under Edit>Preferences>Privacy & Security>Pop-up Windows to turn the !@#%!@#$! things off.

That's because Windows pre-loads IE at boot time, so the bloat is hidden from you, at least until you find yourself running low on swap space/virtual memory when you want to run something else. Mozilla now provides you with the option of preloading if you want it, in which case it will start up...

Eh? Safari is based on the Linux KDE Konqueror browser, and has nothing to do with Netscape or Mozilla browser code that I know of.

goodbye versus farewell As someone else mentioned, "goodbye" was originally "God be with you." "Farewell" was, I think, originally two words, "Fare well." That's the verb fare (to get along or to go, cognate to German fahren or Dutch varen), not fare that you pay the cab driver. :) You're...

It's possible, and it would give you more flexibility in color choice over pre-built plexiglass cases. OTOH, plexiglass is RF transparent, and computers generate a lot of RFI. Are you sure you can deal with that?
