  1. I own one of these things on PC Mag Slams Cheap Wal-Mart Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    It kicks ass. Some of you other geeks out there that picked one of these up know what I'm talkin' 'bout.

    Yeah, I wish it had an actual mini-itx in there (I think its a flex-atx), but I'm still going to bend it to my will. Why, just the other day, for shits and giggles, I yanked that modem (woops, bye-bye warranty) and jammed in my old AverMedia 350. A few package downloads later and I was watching who-knows-what while I was scratchboxing some stuff for my Nokia N800. This was all happening configure-free in 1920x1080 on my 37".

    It might not be for everyone. It's not even really for me. But it sure is funny to think of me and granny (if she were still alive) IMing each other some Windows humor from our $200 POS's.

    Other note: It has an S/PDIF OUT header (coax I think) and a 2nd serial port header. Plenty of good green times to be had.

  2. Re:So Programmers Should Just Work For Free? on Linux To Take Over The Low-End PC Market? · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the laugh. Went well with my morning coffee.

    Thank you. I needed that. Your new score: 6

  4. Re:Be honest with yourself on Bill Gates Drops To Number 2 · · Score: 1

    I do not like Bill Gates. But I like Larry Ellison less. I think he might fall in the category you're referring to.

  5. Re:I'm an Indian [If I had a vote] on Orkut In Pact With Indian Law Enforcement · · Score: 1

    I would give you a point for restating the importantly obvious. Have a great day. +1
