Here is a rudimentary AJAX area code lookup I wrote. It's 100% client-side for easy reuse on your own site. Note: The data itself is a *static* xml file. I created the original from data gathered @ http://www.nanpa.com/ They do not/did not at the time provide the data in xml. You'll need to update the static xml file per NANPA data.
Below is a Google Gadget version you can add to your iGoogle homepage:
...or you can just view it directly ( http://theputnams.net/mike/area-code-lookup/ )

Here is a Windows XP-and-later point and click method to print .lis files generated by PeopleSoft SQR's. You must save this file to your computer and rename it with a .hta extension instead of .txt print-lis-files.txt
Here is an SQR procedure to remove punctuation from your SQR programs. bnopunc.sqc
Dr. Robert Bussard and company need $200 million to put these physics into action. If you happen to have said cash, get a hold of them:

Only use your computer for surfing the web, reading email, burning CD's of the photos from your digital camera, and the occasional word processed letter or spreadsheet? Most people do. If this describes your computer use, then you can save yourself a pile of cash.
Here are list prices for Windows Vista. Also, consider that this pricing is rolled into a new computer purchase price should you decide that it's time for a new computer.
Ubuntu Linux can do all of the things listed above (and many, many more) for the low-low price of zero dollars. Go ahead, give it a try. You can download it (700MB) from http://www.ubuntu.com and try it on your own, or send me an email and I can help you through. Why pay Microsoft more money when you can do the same basic tasks with the same relative ease using Linux for $0.00?
Contribute your PC's idle time to Folding@Home!
The following taken from: http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-diseases.html
The Folding@Home project ("FAH") is dedicated to understanding protein folding, the diseases which result from protein misfolding and aggregation, and novel computational ways to develop new drugs in general. Here, we briefly describe our goals, what we are doing, and some highlights so far.
We feel strongly that a distributed computing project must not just run calculations on millions of PC's, but d.c. projects must produce results, especially in the form of peer reviewed publications, public lectures, and other ways to disseminate the results from FAH to the greater scientific community.
