The main thing im looking for is a PC of this size that requires NO FANs. Go ahead, slow it down to 700mhz or less. Thats plenty of speed to run a head-less http, ssh, mail, ftp server. Ive got a Pentium class 166 that is doing everything I need without making a sound and I love it! Its getting a little old and Im looking for a no-fan PC (Including no cpu fan). By the way, the Seagate Barracuda IV IDE drives are extremely quiet. Its the only moving part in my system.

Linux Kernel 3.0?

yes! I completely agree. Right on! 64bit wide interfaces and IPv6.
Ive never had as much trouble with a kernel build as i have had since 2.5.31.
the IRDA stuff just wont compile, the orinoco driver wont compiler either. ive never seen the kernel not compile like this. Im having to take out module after module to get something that builds.
Television over IP. and Voice calls with acceptable lag-time. I think its audio/video that will drive high bandwidth networks. The PC will become the multimedia center of the home - TVs will be obsolete, and they'll need major bandwith.
No no no. you've got it all wrong. The reason people should be warchalking is to mark OPEN nodes. Nodes that belong to groups like Personal Telco Project in Portland, OR, or Seattle Wireless, or Austin Wireless. These nodes are MEANT to be used for FREE by the PUBLIC. Thats why people should warchalk. Thats why there are two separate symbols, a closed circle for closed networks (meaning stay away) and an 'open circle' for open networks, saying go ahead and use it.
I agree. how do I find out about indie releases? Is anyone making movies worth watching that are distributed electronically and have a licences that allows unlimited redistribution? Im thinking a donation system could work - it seems to be working for trillian. (http://trillian.cc)
my pc doesnt have a floppy drive - i wanted it that way. Yet i always seem to end up putting a floppy drive on it to install a new image of mandrake. I dont have a CD burner. What about using lilo or grub to boot off a floppy image that is on the hard drive? is that possible?
I dont understand Camelot Exchange's involment in this case. the EULA is between the players of DAOC and Mythic Entertainment. The people who run Camelot Exchange are not involved in this agreement. If the Camelot Exchange employees never play DAOC, then their site violates no agreement. Anyone using the site would be against this agreement, but the site itself should be free from threat of litigation.
GSM is all about interoperability. Perhaps you are describing the fact that a cell phone company can 'lock' a phone to their service, so you cannot get a cheap phone on a service plan and then sell it to someone else on another network. Otherwise any GSM phone should work on any GSM network. Voicestream has long ignored the Ericsson t39 and t68 - yet when I bought a 'unlocked' t39 off of ebay, I inserted my SIM card from my old phone and the t39 worked immeadiately.
Compact Flash seems to be the most available format, with lots of storage space and low cost.
The fact is that all Palm devices and the new 3800 iPaqs have built-in connector for the SD card standard. I think the PDA market will pump the SD card standard to the top of the market. My next MP3 player (well okay my first mp3 player:) must have an SD slot so that I can load it up from my PDA. Or maybe my PDA itself will be the MP3 players.
When are we going to see car stereo decks that take some sort of memory card? That could obsolete CDs for good.
Dealing only with technologies available today, I would say putting GRPS in the laptop is reinventing the wheel. The laptop will have bluetooth/802.11. The form factor of the cell phone will keep it viable for at least a year or two, and modern GSM cell phones all have GPRS. Using bluetooth between the laptop and the cell phone for data access makes good use of existing hardware.
I could see doing away with the cellphone if something just as portable has access to a GSM/GPRS network, such as a PDA. Then bluetooth headsets become pretty cool. Beware devices such as the trio which have no device-to-device communications - everything goes through the GSM network where it will cost money. I think that palms talking to palms or other devices without the need for infrastructure such as cell towers, will become increasingly important. My own interest is multiplayer games.
hmm. fingerprinting... google cache... hmm..
Ill bet google already has an idea of the OS running on each web server it catalogs. Some interesting statistics could come out of that.
oh yeah! Capsela rocked! It was a pretty simple system. It addressed areas that Lego traditionally did not, like floating and running propellers in the water. I liked watching the gears turn.
My guess is the reason is not any particular word or phrase, its the mood of the song. What if you were driving down the road on Tuesday, after getting a full dose of WTC news on the radio, and you're shocked and feeling blue, and the radio comes on with 'what a wonderful world'. Or say you have the TV and the radio on and you're looking at ground zero and people are running for their lives, and Louie is saying "I see friends shaking hands.....sayin'.. how do you do". The song would seem out of place and radio station would seem heartless.
What about their 'pledge drive' for money? Clearchannel's advertisements to give money to them run throughout the day here in Portland Oregon on Z100. They make no effort to explain who Clearchannel communications is. They make no statement about just where any money is going, saying only that donated money will 'make a difference.' Then they give excruciating detail as to how many credit cards they take and where you can mail payment. It has all the signs of an infomercial or simply a scam.
Now that I understand a little more about who they are, I can see why my radio station is constantly playing this tacky ad. I would still not give them any money and donate to the red cross directly instead.
Does this beachfront scene look like it was exactly lifted from the movie?? I suppose that since they are both trying to recreate WWII that mant things would be the same.
Why RTCW feels like SPR: The lieutenant class character can call in an air strike over the radio just like Captain Miller (tom hanks). The troop transports and the huge metal X-shaped things on the beach are exactly the same. Using the sniper rifle makes me feel like Private Jackson (too bad there is no 'kiss my dogtag' action). Being a medic with the syringe reminds me of the morphene shots administered by medic Wade.
I would like to see a video of this game with all the characters named in the movie and have them reenact the first 20 minutes of the movie. that would be cool.
the first two servers i was on was laggy as hell. And the game wasnt taking it very well at all. I kept moving and firing without touching any buttons.
but once I found a good server... it was bliss! this game is SO FUN! It felt like I was living out the opening scene from Saving Private Ryan. The game really leads people towards teamwork and the roles are pretty well thought-out. The flame thrower is beautiful and the demo level is really good.
thank you! people are getting mixed up by thinking they need to interpret the datastream from a phone or that they need the help of a cell tower. It seems a highly directional antenna and a field strength meter would do the trick. Im not sure if an antenna can be made that would be directional enough.
My Ericsson T29 with the longest lasting battery will last for seven days on standby. Thats what my own phone puts out - the brochure will say it lasts even longer.

This is sweet! I could forge my own One True Ring - Deep inside Mount Panasonic, a master ring was made on High-Power to rule them all!

that was a little too subtle. i was going to say 'you're blind, thats why!' but that was your joke to begin with :)

Is it just my machine or is the audio wayyy out of sync with the video?
49 GB per camera, 16 cameras. 784gb.
thats just 8 100GB drives. outpost.com has 100GB western digital IDE drives for $250 each. $2000 in hard drives seems to be within this guy's budget.

i was wondering why that comment got mod'ed down, myself. thanks for the vote of confidence!
now that ive seen the specs on this 'linux pda' it turns out its the same crappy dragonball with a cheapa-- screen.
$89! whoho. maybe that will put palm in their place with their 1000% markup on a little lcd screen attached to a 68000 with batteries.
