Pepper Pad 2 Linux Web Pad

`Sean writes "Pepper Computer debuted their $800 Pepper Pad 2 at DEMOmobile 2004 this week. Specs include a 624 MHz XScale processor, 8.4" 800x600 TFT touchscreen, 802.11b+g, and 20 GB HDD running MontaVista Linux CEE. Out of the box the Pepper Pad 2 loads the Pepper Keeper as its GUI, but a full-blown Linux distribution with Java 2 JRE and X-Window System is sitting under the covers just waiting be customized. I personally can't wait to get a hold of one of these to turn into an OBD-II and telemetry workstation for the rally car."

    Happy 9/11 From The GNAA Happy 9/11 From The GNAA Gnaa, Nigeria We at the GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) would like to wish you seasons greetings on this most glorious day. As we reach the third anniversary of the momentous destruction of two large ugly buildings by the highly trained agents of mossad (Israels notorious anti-gentile secret service), and the war against sandniggers everywhere that ensued, we have entered into what is widely recognised as a golden age of trolling. This could not have been possible without the assistance of YOU! Without the glorious genocidal activites of hooknosed Jews, the gulliblity of pinko Slashbots soaking up whatever Michael Moore shits out, the whining of eurotrash clinging to the tattered remnants of Socialism, and of course, without the poorly washed Muslims who, as we speak, continue their holy and righteous Jihad against the evils of the Israeli Bus Service. Without these people, without you people, our jobs would be so much more taxing, and far less rewarding. As your family gathers around the Osama Tree to exchange your gifts of toy Boeings and charred Firemen, we at the GNAA hope that you can all get together in celebration. To pass down your memories of the shock, awe, and arousal you felt. To recall your joy as your anti-Bush FUD was modded to +5, insightful. To remember your hilarious puns at the size of John Kerry's chin, and how they earned you +o in #politics. To giggle girlishly at how your crippling zergrush wowed all who viewed your rancidly coloured MIDI infested xanga blog. But most importantly of all. The GNAA would also like to issue our fondest desire for world peace. And hold firm in our resolve that the bloodshed can only be resolved through the pacifying and unifying acts of male-on-male sodomy and fellatio, and through a peaceful male-only world. Can the leaders of the world put aside their differences once and for all and love their fellow man? Can we swap our rusty kalashnikovs for a warm meaty dong? Our explosive belts for exploding rectums? We can only hope. Happy Holidays!

    I've wanted this for months now. A "laptop" that instead of advertising the newest P4 processor for Barbecues (R) gives you low power, ARM (XScale) computing at the right price.

    Which sounds nice - until you decide that you want to run VMWare. And XMMS. And 27 applications. At once. And run two monitors. And you want to load the database from the server to help find a bug.

    Oh, and since you spend 8+ hours /day in front of it, every little delay really counts. More than you thought.

    Suddenly, you realize that your computer really NEEDS all that processing power.

    When I bought my Dell Inspiron 600M, I thought I could get away with merely 512 MB of RAM. Boy, was I wrong. I now have 1.5 GB of RAM and couldn't be happier. It's 1.6 Ghz Centrino, and it generates a fair amount of heat.

    Oh, and I love it! It's fast, portable, reasonably Linux compatable (no 802.11, and Power Mgmt is a bit weak) and very, very functional.

    Whatever I miss from my desktop Athlon 2000+, I wouldn't trade for my laptop! I dual-boot into WinXP (as now) for 802.11 support since the Intel 2200 B/G wireless is not yet well supported.
