At work, I use one for all of the desktops, and one for all of the laptops (because if its a desktop, I can uninstall alot more drivers to slim it even more, and the same works for laptops too). I use mine on a variety of hardware, and just make sure that I integrate drivers for everything I'm gonna use it for.
And if I forget something, I can just re-launch nlite from ANY computer and use the saved nLite profile on the disk to add what I need and still keep my current settings.
It doesn't have the full hardware support that a live-cd does, sure....but for windows users its a godsend if you use it properly.
You install nLite in windows. You create your disk with SP3 and every other thing you'll ever need integrated into it, then you remove what you don't need with it (usually about 200MB of useless junk). A normal SP2 Microsoft disk is about 580MB I think, whereas my SP3 slipstreamed in with nLite + my drivers is only about 250mb after massive compression. Install takes about...ehh...5 minutes, including the reboot.
Then you use the same disk over and over and over again:)
unfortunately, we have 20 unused tapes already bought, and my IT budget would be eaten up for the next 6 months if I did 2 NASs. The best part is that I'm just an intern...they haven't hired a steady IT person since 2002 when the dell server was bought lol cause none of their interns could solve any problems. So far I've done a VPN, fixed 10min logins, and made every printer accessible in ten days, so I'm a god to them haha
I'll probably get 4x 160gb sata drives (2 for server, 2 for single NAS) and still run the tape backups after the NAS is done copying it.
What would you recommend then for a 30user non-profit business with a 136gb scsi drive and tape backups they have been running (but not realizing that they weren't completely backing up everything)? Thats the crap I just inherited...I was thinking moving to 2 sata drives in raid 1(the scsi drive sounds like it's gonna die soon) and fixing the bloated folders so that tape backups will work again. Differential appended tape backups M-R and a normal backup on friday after the workday seems like the best idea.
But hey....atleast joe sixpack can pay for the software with his Diners Club card!

Who said that the planets have to be Earth-like to find life on them?
I would rather find life on a planet that would have a hard time breathing in out atmosphere than one that could take it over for their parking garage.
I'd recommend option a. Usually upscaling the image will show you areas where, even in a minimal-loss format, need touched up. Get a 800x600 photograph and blow it up to 1280 wide, then look at someone's face....you'll see things that you wish you didn't see looking at it at 100%.
Autoscaling on photoshop for zoom is where most people bork photo editing...i always do touchups at 100-500%
I know you'd love to keep it as simple as possible, and thats great...but...
Can I atleast have a 2GB of RAM option on atleast one of them?!?! I know the cost would go up, but I could use it and would definitely pay for a netbook then.
My ideal system would be 500-600$, Medium cpu, 2gigs of ram, the option to have preinstalled linux, xp, or both. Nice Wirless-N support out of the box, and a decent video card (that will never happen though...its either Intel junk or Via junk). I'd also love to see a system with 8gb of flash storage and a CF slot.
I guess its a normal mini-notebook, just without a cd drive and has flash storage, but i'm not willing to pay 1500$ that they offered for those a few years ago just to have a small one.
If you've ever played 'Out of this World' for SNES ('Another World' outside the US), you'd know that they shouldn't do any collisions during a storm.

yea i was just gonna say....i torrent stuff like MAD, and my DIR-625 (the rangebooster wireless N router) has been going fine for nearly 5 weeks, and the only times i've ever had to reboot it was to change settings....no cloggage issues....
On newegg, lite-on actually sells a pretty nice black and silver keyboard.
The space bar needs quieted down a bit by attaching some masking tape around one of the metal connector rods, but besides that its great. Its small but not cramped and fits my desk perfectly. It works great for gaming, albeit the cord is a bit short. They have one with media keys and one without them (i dont have them), but it appears the media key version is out of stock.

Wait until a free shipping day to get it though; thats rediculous right now...i got mine for free shipping back when fedex did supersaver on there lol...
But really, I bet anyone could find that this keyboard is the best gaming keyboard for the money + a few pieces of tape:)
Indeed. I've lived in pittsburgh my whole life, and I can honestly say that the only polluting smokestacks that are left are on the tip of neville island, and they're not sending up much of anything.
We do have some of the finest resturaunts in the nation though, and Schmidt's up in robinson makes the best reuben i've ever had in the world, and I've been to 44 states and 11 other countries.
Democratic voters are voting with their hearts and not their heads. Ah so this implies that Republicans are voting with their heads? It feels more like Republicans are voting with absolutely nothing with their current canidate...
On a more serious note, if Obama loses or is taken out by people that listened to Hillary's suggestion that he may be shot, I'd expect nothing less than riots, particularly race riots in some cities.

avast and avira aren't kosher for school/non-profit networks. comodo antivirus is, and offers active scanning. avira doesn't.
I'd recommend. It's not the best. It freezes if you try to do anything during that initial first scan. BUT....
It's free (even for non-profits). After that first scan, it can do LIVE scanning (something that clamav can't), and it gets updates pretty damn fast.

a birdie told me that it was why katz.cd was down yesterday...
See, I was thinking more along the lines of Gundam 00 with the Ptolemaios.... http://i34.tinypic.com/210hqaq.gif
The big question is.... Why weren't they using the pre-cracked installers?

A better term would be 'polishing the turd'.
Why can't they just use system restore?

seriously, just how congress did the whole DTV thing, I think completely eliminating dial-up nationally might be a good idea.
An anonymous lolcat told me that this might be the reason that icanhascheeseburger.com was slowed to a crawl yesterday.
