I'm glad someone said it. These dweebs think you need a dish to catch shortwave. Maybe they never read Popular Electronics as a kid or built a Heath Kit.

Why yes if you're only talking about it being a Linux system. If everything works seamlessly all they will care about is "Does it work"
I bought an Archos 7 home tablet the first day it was released. Archos had it on sale for $169 and I bought it to fiddle around with it. I knew it wasn't perfect, I knew the OS (Android 1.5) didn't do everything I wanted, but I bought it to see if II could update the OS and to read books (something it does pretty well even if you can't have Kindle reader). So far a patch has been posted in Archos forums on how to get the Android app store on it. It's an experiment in the making.
I have a Golf GTI and handling is VERY much improved by negative camber.
"Camber angle alters the handling qualities of a particular suspension design; in particular, negative camber improves grip when cornering. This is because it places the tire at a more optimal angle to the road, transmitting the forces through the vertical plane of the tire, rather than through a shear force across it. Another reason for negative camber is that a rubber tire tends to roll on itself while cornering. If the tire had zero camber, the inside edge of the contact patch would begin to lift off of the ground, thereby reducing the area of the contact patch. By applying negative camber, this effect is reduced, thereby maximizing the contact patch area. Note that this is only true for the outside tire during the turn; the inside tire would benefit most from positive camber."
I haven't been to any brick and mortar bookstores in a long time. I buy only e books at B&N, and Fictionwise, Amazon and others. Like I really want to move my fat ass out of my seat, drive a few miles, try to find the SF section, see it all filled with chick-lit fantasy, MAYBE find my book, wait in a line for a surly clerk,then drive home. Yeah, that makes sense.
I have fond memories of playing the Vectrex console when I was a kid - I suppose there must be a few working units floating around out there but based on the way the graphics worked I wonder if you could ever truly emulate it on a PC.

That pretty much says it all
BUT, my niece`is married to a man who works for MS on "campus". I asked him if he could get me a discount on a Zune and was told that he doesn't get any kind of a discount on any Microsoft products any more. The company has been cutting back on any benefits like that for the last 5 years

The US government has already determined that Wikileaks is dangerous. What else is new?
And it has been proven to not be a deterrent at all.
If the issue was making money on the prison system, wouldn't selling the government the GPS units qualify as making money?
At first my knee jerk reaction was to disagree with you. I looked it up and of course, as always, you are right sir!
I think they tried this in the Cretaceous Period. just after Pangea broke up. Stupid dinosaurs!
The BluRay player. PS3 has one and Xbox doesn't. There's the rub. When is Bill going to come around with that?
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
They couldn't think of a more current medium? I mean Vinyl Record? Who the hell owns a turntable anymore?
Well other than that, what could go wrong?
They couldn't even set the video to some spacey music? Bogus man!
Hey you kid, get off my lawn!
Was he the pointy haired boss from Dilbert?

Bang, Zoom! Over the head and into the stands

I've never heard of the Vectrex system, but from what you're describing, it sounds like a computerized "Winky Dink And You" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winky_Dink_and_You

Now STFU about this non-issue and get back to meaningful dialog.
And with a laser pushing it, it could get some speed into it.
