What the hell does that explain, other then that some people can be assholes when driving on the motorway? He is disrupting the conversation just as the asshole on the freeway disrupted his day. Don't bother answering to trolls who post as AC. Unless, of course, he attacks your text editor of choice:)
Moreover, considering the use to which these sub-subnotebooks are being put, there's very little reason to run XP, any more than a PDA or phone needs to run Windows. (They can, but they don't *have* to.) One advantage of running Windows on these portable devices is to sync with the 'big computer' at home. Even getting my Nokia 6288, which supposedly supports SyncML, to sync with Kontact is a pain. I currently don't have the week to invest in fixing this issue. I know that with Windows I would have been good to go the minute that the Nokia was out of the box.
In the UMPC's own little world, Linux is fine. But Linux won't talk to the big computer at home for those who run Windows there.
When Googling UNIX-specific stuff, especially with terms as generic as something like "df", it often helps to insert the word "man" as an additional search term: "man df" Little tip'o'the day.
I had that phone, in fact, it's still in my drawer because I loved it so much. It was the biggest screen _ever_ on a phone in it's day. It has a GPRS WML web browser. The damn thing went all the way from my ear to my mouth so the whole train doesn't have to hear my conversation. The navigation roller rocked as well. Only problem that I remember: like other Nokias of the era, the battery would get loose. Nothing that a folded piece of paper wedged in the right place could not solve.
Although the wikipedia article says that the device was spring loaded, alas, mine was not.
Why can't the people making these devices with "full QWERTY keyboards", actually include the row for numbers. You want dedicated keys for numbers? ON A TELEPHONE?!?
Web bugs in email - just what you want in an attorney's email. I don't know about Outhouse, but Thunderbird, Kmail, and even Gmail will not download remote images unless explicitly told to. They all show HTML mail (Kmail shows the plain text version if available), but remote images are a no-no.
Some of the very early sports cars (1930's) had bodies made of fabric stretched over a wooden frame. Apparently some early hot rods did too, because I think NHRA rules specifically ban this kind of body. Its a fire hazard. No, that's a carry-over rule from demolition derbies. As demolition derby cars were often junkyard cars missing body parts, cloth was a popular but dangerous substitute before it was banned. The rule carried over to the NHRA.
Nobody else was ever referred to by that title. That word on its own is inseperably associated with Hitler. Apparently the word means "leader" and pre-WWII was applied to any soldier who was given temporary responsibility that his rank would not otherwise permit. So a commander-fuhrer was a temporary commander who really didn't have the rank for the job. Similarly, calling someone a design-fuhrer means that the guy is not qualified for doing design work. That's the insult.
I'd call a car made out of nice fabrics a 'gina too! A vagina analogy in a car forum! Welcome to dotslash!
I swear that technology like this is the reason that I am studying to become an engineer. Not only to help design them, which I would love to do, but to afford them when they become available. Expect to see me first in line when this technology becomes available in a consumer vehicle.
Hmm, interesting thought. Imagine hypothetically we stuck big rockets on the moon and blasted it way out of orbit (pretend we can do this). What would be the consequences for earth? I guess tides would shut down, but what would that mean?
Could life have evolved without tides?
Maybe the moon is what motivates the Earth's magnetic field. Life could not have evolved as it did without that nice magnetic field shielding us from cosmic radiation.
I do believe that "dark side of the moon" means in this context the side unseen from earth. There is no dark side of the moon. As a matter of fact, it's all dark.
It's a 3D CAD environment. I'd thought about emulation, but it's already slow in Windows on a top of the line laptop. Which program? Have you contacted the vendor? I have contacted Solidworks telling them that we need a Linux version. Post the name of whatever app you are using, and I will contact them as well. I make a point of writing to one software or hardware vendor a week requesting Linux support.
If you contact Solidworks and request Linux support, I would appreciate it. The more people who request it, the more likely we are to see it.
Just curious. Does suspend and hibernate work on that laptop once the proprietary graphics driver is installed? Perhaps I will try the latest ubuntu if it does. It does on my Dell Inspiron with ATI x1400 video card. This laptop was purchased before Dell started selling them with Ubuntu, it was designed for Vista (so says the sticker).
Thank you for shedding light on that. However, I do not believe that much hydrogen _today_ is produced from renewable power sources, such as solar. But having the car infrastructure in place certainly is the first step.
Thing is, the most eco friendly option is not always what people would guess... sometimes it's quite counter intuitive. That's why I laugh when people tout the hydrogen car as eco-friendly. Where do you think the hydrogen comes from?
At 5 GB/month thatâ(TM)s 4% of oneâ(TM)s pipe. You've trademarked the use of a-circumflex as an apostrophe? I also wondered where that came from. Not that I looked at TFP but it was just the key to the left of Enter that did that. Test: '
IE, MSPaint, Firefox, and a trusty little shareware image editor I use--they all choked on the first hi-res image Eye Of Gnome opens them just fine. It's a great little program, and as a KDE user it's the only Gnome app that I use as a default. I didn't even try anything else yet.
At that company, using Portable Firefox - even though it isn't installed to the harddrive (semantics, really) - wouldn't get you many friends. Actually, I 'install' it to the harddrive. Works great right there on the Desktop.
As for "shortening the handle of a hammer", a better analogy would be "adding another hammer (with a shorter handle) to the toolbox". The old, broken tools (IE for instance) are still there for whoever wants to use them.
Also, I don't know about you, but I don't call IT for friendship. That's probably why I post to/..
That was America participating in Europe's war. True, mostly. There were African and Asian theatres as well, but that's still not America's war. I was just taking a cheap jab at the French.

Um, hello? Simple? Readable? Seemingly innocent? Does any current version of Windows manage to fulfil even one of these criteria?

You're like a second tooth growing out of my ass right now. I don't even have a first growing there! Owch!
