If you own a ThinkPad made between Jan 1999 and August 2000, the power adapter may catch fire. IBM's recalling them; there's a Website where you can check your serial numbers at [link] .

I have a request for info: I have a cousin in Maryland who fears her very premature infant son may have cerebral palsy. She's trying to be proactive and find a gifted physical therapist to work with him -- she's willing to drive to DC and Baltimore also.
If you do know of any therapists, or tips for where she should look, please contact me at my profile address.
Thanks.

If I shouldn't post this here, please let me know and I'll delete. I'm working in collaboration with these scientists, and hope to even one day use the data they're collecting, so I know for sure that this is a serious request.
How does the Internet look like? How does it evolve?
DIMES is a new academic research project founded by the European Union that aims at answering such questions. For this end, we are asking the general public to volunteer and download a light agent that will perform network measurement at very low rates. Our code is open source and does not reveal any information about the hosting machine. We currently support MS Windows, and plan a Linux porting soon.
Aside from helping science, running the DIMES agent also provides you with maps of how the Internet looks from your home or office (currently) and will (in the future) provide you with a personalized 'Internet weather report' and other user-focused features.
To download the agent please point to [link]
We are very enthusiastic about DIMES and hope for your collaboration.
Please feel free to forward the above DIMES link to anyone who might be interested in the project.
Best regards,
The DIMES team
