A dream sign is a commonly occurring theme found within a person's dreams. Dream signs will vary between individuals. Some common ones are difficulty reading words, inability to run or use mechanical objects, the ability to breathe underwater and the appearance of dead people. Often dreams appear as if they are "on the rails" and you cannot divert the course of what is to occur.
There are many various kinds of dream signs, and they usually reflect the waking life of the person who has the dream. For example, someone who is interested in cars will probably have dreams with many car-related themes. Doctors will probably dream about performing duties in their field of specialization. Video game players report playing games or taking part in games in their dreams. The common, most telling dreaming sign is that something illogical occurs in a completely natural and self-accepted manner.
Dream signs can also reflect wants, fears, things the subject hates, and even embarrassing moments. They can manifest themselves in many different ways, depending on the dreamer.
Recognizing one's dream signs is a technique for achieving lucid dreaming, to become consciously aware of dreaming. After that is achieved it may be possible to steer the dream and mold the dream world.
Fire is the first instant messaging client for Mac OS X (previously for OPENSTEP), that can access IRC, Jabber, AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo! Messenger, and Bonjour. All services are built on GPL’d libraries, including firetalk, libfaim, libicq2000, libmsn, Jabber, and libyahoo2.
The latest version of Fire (as of 2006-02-15) is 1.5.6. The program is released under the GNU General Public License.
On 2007-02-23 it was announced that there would be no future versions of Fire released. The official Fire website stated there were several reasons, the biggest being the loss of developers, followed by the fact that most components libraries used by Fire are no longer in active development. Two of Fire's developers have joined the Adium team and have written a transition path for users to move from Fire to Adium. The announcement also says to look to Adium for future IM needs.

The Quickshot Trackball was an NES controller with two buttons, a limited-movement trackball, and a switch to set it for either a right-handed or left-handed player. Like most non-standard NES controllers of the time, it was difficult to work properly, as games usually were not designed with it in mind. An exception is Marble Madness, which turned out to be a natural match for the controller.
