Three LindowsOS PCs Reviewed
Eugenia writes "Not one, but three LindowsOS-based PCs (in the value range of $199 USD) were reviewed online by WashingtonPost. A TigerDirect PC, the traditional WalMart/MicrotelPC and one from Nova Computech. The reviewer says that these PCs while are very low-end today, compared to PCs 2 years ago, are actually pretty good solutions for home usage. The reviewer found them lacking in the gaming (no respectable 3D gfx card included), expandibility departments and while he mentions that Linux-based LindowsOS is affordable, is not a panacea as it lacks in good USB support and other demanding areas of our modern times."
Ze Dupe Mecha is on da loose!
Again!
It's a good thing landing on a carrier creates jobs.

Why i s this thing made it on this "news for nerds. stuff that matters" slashdot site?
I lost 2 minutes of my life, and i want them back.
NOW!!
It is now apparent that the weapons of mass destruction had been destroyed well before the war, but America and UK refused to listen. No, GWB just had to have his little war and Blair was good enough a poodle to follow his master.
There never was any justification for this war and now it's hilarious how the warmongers are backpedaling frantically to cover up their lies and exaggerations. "Oh, the real reasons for the war were really not the WMDs, regime change, terrorists or oil. See? We have shown you mass graves! Yes! We liberated the Iraq because of the mass graves!".
Well, why didn't you say so in the first place!?
"A BRITISH inquiry into two trailers found in northern Iraq has found they are not mobile germ warfare labs [news.com.au], but were for the production of hydrogen to fill artillery balloons, the Observer newspaper has reported.
The London-based weekly newspaper said the conclusion by biological weapons experts was an embarrassment for Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has claimed the discovery of the labs proved that Iraq retained weapons of mass destruction and justified the case for going to war against Saddam Hussein."
I've not heard anyone chime in about how great the 3D is on an ATI card under Linux.
Then I'll chime in. It's fucking great. (Radeon 9700 PRO).
For those wondering: panacea

Which part of "A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" did you miss out? Are you really ever going to form a well-regulated militia, or do you just like owning and firing guns?
Moderators: Go on, mod me troll, you know you want to! I have lots of karma and no patience for gun nuts.

You're only jealous cos the little penguins are talking to me.
On my Radeon 9500 X wouldn't even start after I installed the drivers. Useless. This was with the latest Red Hat release, and the latest binaries from the ATI website.
*sigh*
A militia is composed of private citizens. I am a private citizen. Regardless of any future or current intent, the freedom is extended to the citizens and is non-revocable. End of story.

"you must have a car in case granny needs to go to the doctor, therefor you have the right to own a car".
This doesn't mean that you can't own a car unless granny is sick; it means that you have the right (some granny-lovers out there might even say OBLIGATION) to own a car, just in case granny gets sick on day and needs to go to the doctor.
Common sense, in your case, obviously ain't common. Get back on the short yellow bus to canada, and stay there.
