I love my Natural Elite. However it is starting to fail and I have not had it for two years yet. The number pad 2 functions when it feels like. Also something that is wierd, the occasional drop of the keyboard from my chair to the carpet (less than two feet) will render it completely inoperable. Sometimes beating it will make it decide to function again. I am definately not planning on buying another.
A guy I know ended up with a phone someone left at his place after a party. It had no service but if you called 911 and hanged up, you would be able to make one more call for free.

Hasn't anyone else read Isaac Asimov's tale of the mighty Multivac and how it can predict crimes before they happen? Amazing!
One of their selling points for me is that ALL of their servers are running Redhat and the cost for 50MB is only $1.50/mon
As for seeing who has made it to your page, Webalizer (a pretty web access log front end) makes it easy to see where traffic is coming from.
Ha, like those pouches in textbooks? Just pull the adhesive side of the pouch from the book and slide the cd out of the back without breaking the seal and agreeing to the EULA!
> Or heaven forbid you want to run the latest development kernel.
Just download the SOURCE that can be found on nVidia's driver download page and you will be able to make a custom module for your custom kernel. Works great for me:)
Think there are ONLY binary drivers? You can download source for the NVIDIA GLX driver and the actual kernel module from the NVIDIA website where the rest of the drivers can be found.
Its as simple as make and wowee, you have a brand spanking new driver compiled against your kernel headers.

Of course the networks would not be getting any advertising money anyway even if the commercials were copied with the shows.
There is just no way a network could call up Budweiser or Toyota and say "we have just played your ad in 120,000 more times than expected due to pirate recordings, so you owe us $50,000 more."
At least one of the comparisons THG ran on the switches is completely useless.
Isn't it great that both of the switches can ping with 100 bytes of data at 1ms?
Wonder why it was always the same?
The ping included with MS OS's AFAIK can only report times equal or greater than 1ms. This is a great troubleshooter when you are pinging MIT from California but if you are pinging across just one switch, a 1ms time is horrible.
I get a 456us (.456ms) ping time, using 100 bytes, across an ancient 10Mbit HUB!!!
Of course I am using ping from iputils-20001110. This is not a MS bashing post, only a wish that THG would use meaningful tests sometimes.

>It's pretty sad when cut and paste doesn't even work right...
What is giving you problems cutting ans pasting?
In X:
copy = highlight
cut = highlight, delete
paste = middle mouse button

He might have broken the Scout Oath too:

Did anyone else notice the "foreshadowing" that occured when Anakin was on Tatooine :)
I have my site hosted through www.2mhost.com

Wait until we build a Beowulf cluster of these :)

>the OEM licence not count anymore then??
Depends on if you use OEM parts or not...
Everything (devices too) as a file?
Or a file structure starting in one of those geeky symbols '/' instead of 'C:' under "My Computer" where it is supposed to be?
Damnit I hate people who say "A drive" instead of floppy drive.
ISIP has a pretty good speech to text system that should work on most Linux/Unix boxes.
Takes a little intelligence to set up though.
Must be a wireless mouse...
So now I can run Seti on my AP?

Now if we could just get rid of floppies it would be a perfect world.
Set yahoo.com as someones homepage and they think that the only way to get anywhere is the search bar.
Yahoo! IM, ICQ, AIM, etc. apparently does allow P2P when doing file transfers.
I have been singing the Doom song constantly since I saw the first episode of Zim :)
doom, do do do doom, do DO DO DOOM, do do do, doom,
do doom
Feel free to experiment with your 'doom's and repeat as long as you can keep people in the general vicinity from causing you bodily harm.

Or when you are in the States, but too poor of a college student to afford decent cable!
How else could I watch Smallville?

Build antennae and you can boost your signal up to 5 or so miles. Apparently these guys did it with Proxim cards.
