There is currently no way to get notification of activity in a newsgroup
except by subscribing to it by mail. <http://www.lugnet.com/news/mail/>
I'm subscribed by mail to all 583 loc.* groups and don't look at them in my
newsreader.
If there was a way for you to get notified (short of subscribing via
e-mail), what would be the most convenient way for you to be notified?

As far as I know, it was my idea, but it probably came from something I saw
somewhere else once upon a time, maybe related or maybe unrelated. I know
one thing that definitely inspired it was the Unix load average tracking
which is reported by 'w' and 'uptime', for example:
6:54PM up 40 days, 6:16, 1 user, load averages: 0.16, 0.11, 0.09
The three numbers at the far right are the average CPU usage in the past 1
minute, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes. (Actually, it's the number of waiting
processes, but you can think of it as CPU utilization. A load average of
1.00 means 100% utilization.)
