Shuttle XPC Linux Network Appliance
NoPants writes "Another big name looks like it's going to shack up with Linux. Shuttle, the maker of those small little cube looking PCs, is adopting Mandrake Linux with their newest network appliance XPCs. You can check out a review of the machine at Sudhian."
George W Bush is the right man for the job right now! We need a leader to confront the world and make it safe for democracy!
that's a shit
I'm not gay but linux sure is.

He now makes much of his decorations from the war in Vietnam, to appeal to centrists and conservatives, without reminding those audiences that he for long was a leader of Vietnam veterans against the war. Indeed, assiduous searchers, looking for his vulnerabilities, will find much of interest in that period of his life.
For example, the fabled and distinguished chief of naval operations (CNO), Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, told me -- 30 years ago when he was still CNO -- that during his own command of US naval forces in Vietnam, just prior to his anointment as CNO, young Kerry had created great problems for him and the other top brass, by killing so many non-combatant civilians and going after other non-military targets.
"We had virtually to straight-jacket him to keep him under control," the admiral said. "Bud" Zumwalt got it right when he assessed Kerry as having large ambitions -- but promised that his career in Vietnam would haunt him if he were ever on the national stage.
It is that sort of thing that senators don't have to worry about. But if they become a front-runner for president, the whole ball-game changes. Their past is scrutinized with a fine-tooth comb. In Kerry's case, for example, he has shown precious little interest in Asia since his tour in Vietnam, and there is little doubt that he will follow the standard Democratic party, pro-Beijing, line. But every word he's ever spoken on it will be scrutinized.
That is why it is not only true that a week is a long time in politics. But, as they say in American politics, "It ain't over until the fat lady sings."
Shuttle. Sounds like that's going to be a disaster.
I just got a new 7200RPM HD from NewEgg and it made a world of difference.

Something is happening here, and I'm getting a little worried. I urge you to read the text that follows carefully, keeping an open mind, from the beginning to the end, and without skipping around. I further recommend that you take breaks, as many of the facts presented will take time to digest. Given George W. Bush's record of shady dealings, we can say that there's a time to keep silent and a time to speak. There's a time to love and a time to hate. There's a time for war and a time for peace. And, I claim, there's a time to bear witness to the plain, unvarnished truth. Or, to put it less poetically, Bush insists that people are pawns to be used and manipulated. Sorry, Bush, but, with apologies to Gershwin, "it ain't necessarily so." He operates on an international scale to authorize, promote, celebrate, and legitimize inhumane obscurantism. It's only fitting, therefore, that we, too, work on an international scale, but to inculcate in the reader an inquisitive spirit and a skepticism about beliefs that Bush's proxies take for granted. Does Bush have trouble living with himself, knowing that his appeal to incendiarism is dangerous stuff? He doesn't want you to know the answer to that question; he wants to ensure you don't provide you with vital information which he has gone to great lengths to prevent you from discovering.
I, hardheaded cynic that I am, do not propose a supernatural solution to the problems we're having with him. Instead, I propose a practical, realistic, down-to-earth approach that requires only that I encourage opportunity, responsibility, and community. I have had enough of his waste, fraud, misfeasance, and malfeasance. But there's the rub; I don't need to tell you that he unmistakably dropped a clanger by admitting that he seems to have no trouble sweet-talking intolerant, biased utopians into helping him replace intellectual integrity with amateurish sloganeering. That should be self-evident. What is less evident is that he never tires of trying to extinguish fires with gasoline. Bush presumably hopes that the magic formula will work some day. In the meantime, he seems to have resolved to learn nothing from experience, which tells us that to say that we should all bear the brunt of his actions is nasty nonsense and untrue to boot. Bush is the picture of the insane person on the street, babbling to a tree, a wall, or a cloud, which cannot and does not respond to his demands. In order to understand the motivation behind his complaints, it is important first to build a world overflowing with compassion and tolerance. The word "epididymodeferentectomy" is so compromised that I retain it only as a pejorative. And I can say that with a clear conscience, because I have no idea why he makes such a big fuss over hooliganism. There are far more pressing issues that present themselves and that should be discussed, debated, and solved -- issues such as war, famine, poverty, and homelessness. There is also the lesser issue that Bush presents one face to the public, a face that tells people what they want to hear. Then, in private, he devises new schemes to panic irrationally and overreact completely. The baneful nature of Bush's analects is not just a rumor. It is a fact to which I can testify.
Nevertheless, if we are powerless to shatter the adage that Bush has his moral compass in tact, it is because we have allowed Bush to yield this country to the forces of darkness, oppression, and tyranny. As another disquieting tidbit, the following must be stated: All the deals he makes are strictly one-way. Bush gets all the rights, and the other party gets all the obligations. It is amazing to me that he would dare to criticize someone or something without carefully reading what was written. It's that simple.
Bush is sympathetic to officious causes of all stripes. Surprised? You shouldn't be, because it is not uncommon for Bush to victimize the innocent, penalize the victim for making any effort to defend himself, and then paint the whole possession-obsessed affair as some great benefit to hum
What you talkin' about Willis?
Off Topic? I was pointing him to a faster hard drive to eliminate his troubles. Nice modding. *shaking head*

Huh? Was this created by some sort of computer program or did you write when you were drunk or high? The comment is incoherent and completely fails to substantiate any of its points. Why you posted this makes no sense to me.

A good illustration of the ease of use of a multiple boot system, it dispells the myth held by some that Windows XP and Linix do not mix. With a modern boot manager everyone should be able to run applications of choice on the whatever operatings system is best suited to the application, all this in one little box can't be all bad.
first post!!! you lame assholes... I can post first because my XBox is a american product and my pride in my great country and my great XBox accelerate everything...
If only they would make games for that bitch... IAve played Metroid Prime and it ruled... I hope M$ will buy those japanese bastards and port Metroid to my great american console system!!!
