At my old high school they had 2 "cows" (Computers On Wheels). They were cabinets (with a lock) holding about 20 macbooks. The entire school had wifi (with pitiful WEP), but still wifi. Each "cow" had a wireless network printer on top (cabled to the cart).
The inside of the cart was full of tiny shelves (one shelf per macbook) with the charging cable inside the shelf. You simply get the cart from the office, take it to your class, use the laptops (with supplied printer), then put the laptops back in (plugging in the power to charge), the take it back. The cabinet had a single 120 cable on the back to plug in for power to the chargers and printer.
From what I remember, the batteries worked fine (even after 1-2 years of use) and the teacher that rented them out always made sure everything went back in. It was actually a VERY useful resource and got used constantly.
I would recommend the same system (1 or 2 carts) for ANY school putting together a computer network. One thing I might recommend would be to not use macs, but something cheaper with Edubuntu or something.
Yes, I am aware schools get a big discount on macs, but linux systems are just much easier to administer en masse.
Whenever I've disabled "System Restore", it has told me that doing so will delete all restore points. Is there a way to (properly) back these up before disabling it?
The 360 is only doing well because Microsoft actually has a very good product.
Then why are it and its predecessor the only game systems in the world with a well known light configuration specifically designed to inform the user when it DIES?!?
I think it's actually a very good idea for the President to have his personal and official communication devices completely separate. The last thing he needs is for his wife or kids to forward a funny video to him and get his official device infected by something.
you can usually just search for "wiki search_term". It's not perfect, but 95% of the time, it brings wikipedia to the top even if it's not normally there.
There is a difference between "a little" and "zero". A Prius uses "a little" gas, so going 100 miles is bad. If these computers use "zero" power in standby, then you can leave it in standby for a thousand years and still you, ZERO power.
if you use publisher or frontpage you won;t get much help moving to OO.
If you ever use that application as a reason not to leave office, I will personally rip your eyeballs out through your nads like I have wanted to do every time I've come across a sorry excuse for a website that some idiot made using that piece of crap.
His point was that the files are NOT corrupted. The newer version simply had trouble opening it exactly like the previous version, so instead of showing a slightly "altered" version (which makes their software look bad), they claim it is "corrupted", which simply makes you IT department look bad. It's all about pointing the finger at the other guy when the blame should obviously be sitting squarely on THEIR shoulders.
That's all fine and dandy if you are developing an app with a medium budget and a profit in mind. But what if you just want to make a little app that monitors your cat's position in the living room by duck-taping it to its back?
They keyboard is a little small, but unless you are writing multi-page document with it, it works fine. I use mine for SSH, E-Mail and the Web (when my laptop is in my bag).
There are also 2 (read that Apple, TWO) on screen keyboards to chose from. One is 1/3 the screen, the other is full-screen (with a text-box in the top-left corner).
As for the physical keyboard, it is VERY handy (I use it 80% of the time). I can "almost" touch-type on it, but I find I end up using only my index through middle-finger (3 per hand), instead of all five. Then again, unless it's sitting on a table, you are typing with your thumbs anyways (you need to hold it up with your hands).
Whereas the cell companies are trying to figure out how to charge for as much as possible for anything on their network.
And Apple isn't? They signed an exclusivity agreement with AT&T, then added code to their devices to enforce it. They also require $100 to develop software (even if you don't release it), then take 30% from EVERY sale on the store.
Face it, Apple is just as bad as the companies who run the networks that their phones run on.
No you don't. You get Konqueror if you download Kubuntu. Opera is a separate download (as in Konqueror in Ubuntu). However, Ubuntu (or Canonical) is not a Monopoly, so it doesn't really matter.

Ummmm, what?...
...with a well known light configuration...
I believe I did address that fact...

Quick, everyone connect to Iraqi proxy servers for a week, then go back to your regular domain.

Yes, but his home is bigger than your average shopping mall.

Hey, look, everyone, an Adobe employee has thoughts!
There, fixed that for you
Wow, I completely messed up by responding to the wrong comment and still got a +4 Insightful?
Holy crap, my Karma is invincible!

My clock is LCD you insensitive clod!
Oops, sorry, I responded to the wrong post. I was kind of jumping up and down the page and must have mixed up a convo.
No HDTV card on your linux box?

The software on this might help...

Good job, you appear to have identified the pun in the summary

BS. As someone pointed out above, XP Lite does not have it and they don't even have access to the specs or source code.
No you don't. You get Konqueror if you download Kubuntu. Opera is a separate download (as in Konqueror in Ubuntu). However, Ubuntu (or Canonical) is not a Monopoly, so it doesn't really matter.
