Well.. I'm not sure where the summary got it's specs of AMD XP 1800s, but they are not 1.8 GHz processors. They run at 1.533 GHz. That makes it 30.66 GHz (assuming the 20 computers). Looking at the site, there's absolutely no specs on the system aside from the 36 GHz number:
Um.. That's because the second video card is still in there rendering away. Most systems don't even pay any attention to whether or not the monitor is plugged in - they still keep rendering the desktop/console.
I've personally only seen one computer that cared if a monitor was plugged in, and that was all custom hardware.

I've read about a couple of registry hacks for windows that will flip the functions of the f-keys so they are f[1-12] when f-lock is off and the funky keys when f-lock is on. Never tried it tho. I'm sure that you can remap the keys in Linux easily enough.

Close.. F1 doesn't say help, it says "New" and in order to use it as F1 instead of New, I have to hit the F-Lock key..:(
Total list of the non-F-Locked F-keys:
New, Reply, Forward, Send, Undo, Redo, Print, Save, My Com(puter), My Doc(uments), My Pic(tures), My Music.
There's also the Start/Alt/Option and Alt/Apple/Loopy-square-thingy keys..

I did mean the other GT games in my statement, bit it applies to a large part of the "other cool games" as well.. There are lots of cool games that are only released in Japan. There's even some that are only released in Europe. Off the top of my head, I don't know of any US-only PS2 games.
Back in high school, there were classes called ESOL - English for Speakers of Other Languages. They were a normal class for some students and there were evening/weekend classes for parents.
The problem was that these classes lumped the students in groups. Spanish speakers here, Vietnamese there, etc. This makes sense in an educational aspect as you can get a Spanish speaking teacher to teach the Spanish speaking group and so on. However, in terms of a social aspect, it was a horrible mistake. They would form close-knit groups based on these classes and almost never speak anything but their own language. It also didn't help that they would go home and noone at home would speak any English, so they almost never had any use for it outside of school.
I had people in some of my classes who could barely speak a word of English despite having taken ESOL for 7+ years (middle + high school).
I do wish you could configure which servers to block in the settings, though, like you can for popups. Then I could specify *.doubleclick.com instead of just m3.doubleclick.com or whatever.
That's doable with AdBlock.
AdBlock puts that stupid "AdBlock" tab on blocked ads.
No it doesn't. It puts it on flash (unfortunately all flash) becuase you can't right click on it to bring up the normal context menu. On normal image or text ad, there's no tab.
You can also click on the AdBlock link on the status bar and it will display a list of blockable items in the page.
That's not as much of a problem now as it used to be. It does still happen occasionally, but for most of the types you'd see in a museum (T-Rex, Triceratops, whatever), enough samples have been found that they know what goes where.
Actually, with your example for the dinosaur skeletons, 99% of them will be assembled from multiple sources.. It is extremely rare for complete dinosaur skeletons to be found - especially for the larger dinos.
Of course, most of the displays (like the ones at the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum) are not the actual fossils. Way too much opportunity for damage in public displays.
If I told you that I once did business with Huey, Dewy and Lewy Duck you would be sure I was lying... I am not! They are local characters too but not cartoon ones.

I used to have a neighbor named Donald Qwak. Everyone in the neighborhood called him Donald Duck. It got to the point that he'd introduce himself that way at summer picnics.
One year, we found out once that two of his nephews were Huey and Louis (named after the singer, not the cartoon characters). Louis was rather annoyed by everyone calling Luey that summer..
Um.. A beta of the firmware is currently available. I know one person using it with no problems. Ogg files eat more batteries, but aside from that, he loves it.
Sadly I'm stuck being Oggless with my iFP-190.. When the 700 or 800 series are released, I'll probably upgrade then.

On a side note: What was XYZ distro's (Xandros') tech support doing telling him to make changes that affected X? When mucking with sound stuff (either ALSA or OSS/Free) there shouldn't be anything you change that would stop XFree86 from working..
Sure you can. If your mail client can display full headers (not the partial headers most GUI clients will show, but all the headers like pine and mutt do), take a look at the Delivered-To: header. That will show you exactly which address it was sent to. I've used that plenty of times to identify which sites/lists the spammers got the address from if they bother trying to hide the address.
The fun variant I've been getting lately are ones with Delivered-To: my-listaddr@host.tld and To: someotheruser@host.tld.
Now I've got to "fix" it since 90% of the people use IE so they'll think it's broke.
That doesn't help the problem at all. You should leave the image in its correct form and put a notice on your site saying that any problems are caused by IE and that they should switch to something better (Firefox, Opera, whatever) or complain to MS if they have to stick with IE.
Yeah.. Then they go and blow that savings by replacing a the plain text headlines with flash headlines. If you don't have the flash plugin, you can still see the headlines, but+they+look+like+this. I'm sorry, but what idiot came up with that idea??
Some of the added flash content isn't that bad (the scorboard on a sport's main page is nice), but the headline deal is just dumb..

Most spammers use one of two methods to send spam:
Send thousands of e-mail messages targetted directly at a single address
Import their list of addresses into a list (hosted on their own server) and send a single message to that list
If your solution doesn't count mailing lists, it will only affect those who send messages to everyone in their address book and not have an affect on SPAM (UCE - I personally consider the chain letters and jokes SPAM as well).

What do you mean "before the US gets them"? The US is never going to get them as official releases.
I was thinking more along the lines of this one since it's slightly more relavant (even made the cover in this case).
Either way, it's completely moronic.
