Practically every Unix applications output postscript when issued a print command. If the software doesn't allow you to print to file, then print to the command "cat > file.ps" to save to file.ps.
Then, run: ps2pdf -r600 file.ps file.pdf
You can change the 600 to whatever resolution you wish.
If you're grabbing this from a database, you can simply output in text and use ascii2ps to create a pdf file.
I don't know what the science is, but I know the following:
My aunt, uncle, and cousins lived next to (what I believe was) a cellular-phone tower. My aunt died of breast cancer, my cousin developed a beign tumor on his chest, and my uncle now has cancer (I believe testicular).
If you're not afraid of going with IDE.. SATA drives/w hot-swap enclosures are really cheap. You could also go with firewire for which there are hot-swappable internal enclosures and external enclosures.
Ditto.. I love those things. The second oldest equipment which I actively use is the power cords from the IBM PS/2 computer, the ones with the piggy-back plugs.
I have a lot of really old equipment, but I'm finding that I use it too little and am trying to toss what I can, but my Model:M will leave me when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.
TigerDirect happens to be the only source of these things right now, that I'm aware of.
I ordered a refurbished dell monitor from them, and had to have it replaced twice because the first two died within a week.. the second time I went with a nice brand-new NEC. The NEC has been great.
I do blame TigerDirect for selling such shitty monitors from Dell, but the problem was Dell's - not TigerDirect's. TigerDirect took care of me and I exchanged for the new NEC monitor to much joy.
Firewire is very useful for servers, actually. It has several uses: 1. Cheapest hot-swappable ide/raid solution 2. Cheapest hot-swappable scsi-raid solution (after something around 200-400gigabytes) 3. Replacement for firewire and endorsed by Oracle: http://oss.oracle.com/projects/firewire/
A lot of companies believe they get a better deal with pre-built, or (in this case) pre-configured computers. They have a good point. Regardless of how good your employees are, they can still make mistakes. Much more likely to make a mistake than a company like Axentra, and at least Anextra gives them a warranty.
I saw this thing in TigerDirect and thought, "oh great, another netpliance". Then I turned the page. Machines like this aren't made for home users. I'd really like to know what this thing does that my Pentium 133 doesn't do.
This is simply a toy for geek-wannabes who have too much money and too little skill. IMHO, of course.
I think TigerDirect already let this one out of the bag. The website says that they will announce it (and it's price) soon. This week's TigerDirect catalog already has it..
I'd just like to note that pyGame is just an SDL binding for Python. It absolutely rocks, of course, but it doesn't give you anything more than plain SDL (except python)
The funny thing about comcast, although they "require Windows or Macintosh" and disallow NAT.. they have a forum at comcast.net with such topics as using "alternative OS" and "home networking".
Although the marketing and sales departments are quite against anything but MacOS 9 (yes 9) or Windows 95/98/XP (no 2000/NT), their technical staff careless about what you run.. and they may infact endorse it.
The technical guys still won't give you help with your Linux box.. but if you give them specific, os independant questions, they will do fine.
- Only allow connections to be established from inside the network
In Linux 2.4, this should be default with rp_filter which I believe is automatically enabled when ip_forwarding is enabled. Of course, making sure that rp_filter is enabled explicitly is always a good idea:)
Because you touch the bathroom door, then you touch your cellphoene. You touch a patient, you touch your cellphone. You touch a dog, touch your cellphone.
The great thing about this article is that you won't have to put up with the crap of shoddy set-tops like the DCT2000 (which I too had the misfortune of having and was one reason I canceled my digital cable service).
You will now be able to use your own TV to change the channels. Of course, your TV will have to run a program for the digital cable and who knows how well that software will be written:)
I'm only hoping that they will make TV-cards (that work in Linux) which will accept these cards.
Except this is a dedicated server. It may take a while for him to get anyone on the telephone (or via email) to do this.. and they may even charge him.
The more the client (owner of the server) can do himself, the better.
This is most likely due to a lack of good voices, but the synth in MacOS since at least version 8.0 rocks and has great voices. It also does voice commands. It is such a shame that nothing for linux is nearly as good as that available for my old 7100/80 mac.
That's from the electronics. RF chips are not 100% efficient.
More specifically, one could prove that water near the antennae (and away from the hot electronics) might be raised in temperature slightly. Chances are that it wouldn't be noticable at all without very precise equipment.
Yeah, my netgear card is small enough to swallow.
You can put the antennae in your mouth, it shouldn't cause a problem, but I wouldn't test it on small children.
The side effects of long-term exposure are likely much less than that of long-term exposure to a hot environment such as Florida.
The (non-)problems of WiFi are widely known. WiFi is just like a microwave oven, it emits signals at a frequency of 2.4ghz. Because water resonates at 2.4ghz, it causes the water to heat. This is how a microwave cooks, by causing water to heat.
WiFi is just a very low-powered microwave. If you put your WiFi card on your lap for a while, you might notice some extra heat. If the signal was too strong (such as if you setup a strong amp), it could potentially boil you.. but it would have to be a really strong signal.
It should be fine to have around with kids as long as they don't put it in their mouths.

On that note, he could simply get a DDR mat for the computer and use it as a controller for any game.

The difference between this and any other linux machine is a small footprint, high cost, no video card, and (hopefully) quiet operating.
TigerDirect is selling them for $499.99. see my post regarding this.
To avoid people simply wondering about the price from slashdotting me:
$499.99
If you're ordering one, tell TigerDirect Item # A555-1000
Or for companies who look for and buy anything that solves their problem, THEN look at the price. Unfortunately, that seems to be most companies.

/w any standard usb->wireless adapter. WiFi is NOT standard.
TigerDirect print ad
The ad specifically mentions that it supports WiFi wireless networking
True.. and I wouldn't doubt that some people would think, "wow.. I got the gamecube so cheap that maybe I'll buy TWO games".
They might actually sell more licensed games because of this.
Try finding a 200GB scsi drive, especially one that is SCA.
The truth is that right now, Firewire is the cheapest solution for having hotswapable storage over 200GB.

Yeah, you don't hurt anyone but ISPs and the users of those ISPs. Internet worms affect everyone, even Linux users.
