    800Mhz - juice hog !

    Detected 664.539 MHz processor.

    Though my EPIA is a 500Mhz fella and no fan too, I boot it from CF too so it's presence is hardly felt (until you switch the monitor on!).

    In 1965, U.S. corporate taxes amounted to 4% of gross domestic product, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development which includes local, state, and federal income and capital-gains taxes in its calculation. By 2000, that figure had dropped to 2.5%.

    > What else would you suggest I do?

    Use your spare time to actually be part of the political organizations you contribute to (I presume you meant $ rather than time).

    Hand out leaflets highlighting the issues you care about in the hope that other citizens respond.

    Participate in direct action, it doesn't have to always be d-locking yourself to railings.

    Make a website about it, slightly lame but better than nothing.

    Go to the official meetings of elected bodies and report on the discussions / contact the participants.

    Start a petition by going door to door in your neighbourhood / on the streets if your town.

    Shoot some cops.

    I have one of those but I've never managed to get it to do anything, I presume it needs some electronic TLC, I've look at it every now and then and say "I should wire those keys to a micro-controller and make it work" but it's another project on the pile.

    Your point seems to be a question.

    Anyhoo, there's nothing uber special about Flash, you can just put a CF/SD card in an IDE/SATA adapter and attach it to a suitable computer, such as one of the fanless EPIAs, that one even has dual gige.
