dell has already stated that it was a system glitch that caused the warranty services to become unavailable on ubuntu machines and that they will reoffer the warranties soon.
those pics look like they could easily have come from my bedroom, piles of circuit boards bins full of components, piles of electronics awaiting destruction, piles of copper wire for recycling, it brings me joy to see there are others like me out there. Actually i'm somewhat envious of the amounts of scrap these fellows can get there hands on, the amounts i can aquire through dumpster diving, curb shopping and freecycle aren't nearly as great., if only I could get corporations to dump their scraped equipment in my backyard instead of china's.

obviously you either have money or do not have to drive often, i am a college student with lots and lots of bills, i have to drive an hour each way to get to campus, 75% of my disposable income (after tuition, books, and insurance goes towards buying gas, public transportation is not a feasible option in my area, there are many others like me, what the hell are we to to if gas goes up to 6 or 9 dollars a gallon, we still have to get to school everyday, the bus service is still nearly non-existant.
sounds a little too close to future crime to me, I think Gonzalez might be violating the copyright on minority report., on a more serious note i think this bill sucks shit and i certainly hope it does not get passed.
learned ecactly that lesson, i'm now studying to become an ee, also once the suspension was up i taught everybody I knew how to boot up a linux live cd on their machines to bypass all the schools stupid internet restrictions. for some reason the school implemented a software solution on their machines rather then a network solution.
the security got deleted off the entire network, they blamed me (i had not done it, but mabe i should have!)i was ushered to the principals office where they handed me a 2 week suspension, i protested, they said they had 20 people with statements against me, i asked to see the statements, they denied on the grounds that they had to protect those who made the statements against me, i then asked them again to show me the statements but without the names of those that made them. again the school refused without giving me a reason.i asked how i was to defend myself if they would not let me see what had been said about me. the principle said while youre guilty anyways and your suspended for two weeks what do you have to say to that? I then requested to phone my parents they denied me, i then went to leave the office and they had an sro stop me, i sat back down and refused to talk, about 15 minutes later the sro got up to go do something and i then walked out of the principles office walked out the front door and all the way home. I had my parents phone the school and they responded by adding another week to my suspension for leaving school grounds, i then phoned the school and informed them that i was willing to take the matter to court and that they should keep a copy of their log filee so that the circumstances of the incident could be determined, they responded by reformatting all their computers destroying all traces of the incident. i got my dad who happens to be a lawyer to go down to the school with me, they realized they had no case against me if they went to court so they said they would drop the hacking incident from my recore, however they then revised my suspension for leaving the school grounds too 3 weeks insted of one. long story short, screw high school administrators they don't know jack.
scuba tanks are not just compressed air, they are a speacial mixture of gasses and as such cost way more then simply compressing everyday air into little cannisters, if one were to compress regular air into a scuba tank it would likely cost around a couple cents worth of electricity to fill, though it would then be useless for scuba diving.
wouldn't using the little piezoelectric crystals used in microphones and certain watches to produce electricity from motion be a lot simpler then trying to figure out a way to get proteins from our ears to do the same job a lot less efficiently ?
Sounds like a waste of research funds to me!
As a Canadian Citizen i find the suggestion of Canada as a global piracy hub to be completely and utterly laughable. if you go to Asia you can get bootlegged dvd's for peanuts, in Canada if you are caught selling pirated materials you are punished as you would be in the states , the only difference having lived both places is that Canada hasn't bowed to the evil powers of the RIAA, MPAA, and will only prosecute if actual for profit infringement is involved, i.e fair use still legal. ha ha ha I laugh at the mere suggestion of Canada as a global piracy hub. I pity anyone who could possibly believe that statement.... Argh!
i am a studend at a university in fla and nothing is banned, and bandwidth is incredible, the other day i was downloading some crap at 500kbps which i would say is pretty damn good (note bytes! not bits)
i'm by no means a microsoft fanboy but what your saying is ridiculous, short of switching motherboards i have not had to reactivate, i have switched out video cards , sound cards, ram, optical drives, nothing but switching a mobo has ever caused xp to require revalidation on me and then when the microsoft dork refused.......while there's always corporate edition............... and lately ark is looking pretty good.
the interesting bit in the article was ide = compact flash , roughly. with this knowledge i wonder what one could do with a juicebox other than modding them into picture frames as has been previously done, i was thinking portable divx player..........

If you type linux 3 times fast with the lights off, windows will blue screen!

1. no medical institution would actually try this as hydrogen sulfide is highly toxic 2. obviously fake names such as dr. IchiNose
