You're right in getting a ThinkPad. THey're built like tanks. I've done the drop tests myself, thank you very much, unintentionally, even with the second and third test:-)
Pioneer isn't dead as long as its moving and carrying that plaque as its one final message from us.
You know what I've always been looking for in the NASA site but could never get? Animated clips of its voyage (or that of Voyager's) and its fly-bys of the other planets. I always thought they would make really great looking screensavers to match my wallpapers of the shuttle. Anybody know where I can get them?
my numeric keypad would also have the ABC DEF GHI-equivalents printed on them so I can make phone calls (y'know the ones with alpha) from my computer.
And please let's get rid of the monstrosity called the 'natural' keyboard. Those are simply too huge even for keyboard trays. I like the size of the Happy Hacker keyboards, now all I need is a keyboard tray that's THAT small and fully articulated and cantilevered or what-not.
Think Geek where art thou in this geek's time of need? Why not a do it yourself keyboard? and tray to go?
The widescreen form factor will definitely make you buy DVDs of your fave movies. A space saver, too, that should give the MAC designers pause. It will be my next PC just for the looks, and my excuse will be 'I need a new DVD player for my xine...'
It's gotten so the only way I can tell a real PC magazine is if it featured THIS SONY gear as one of the top gadget buys for the year. If it's not even on the list, then the mag doesn't know squat about tech.
Follow these links: (or google them) linux on Thinkpad 600
You should get several hits, one of them has a link to installing Red Hat on TP. Wait, now I remember: the IBM site has a howto on installing RH on TP, but the other links offer tips on getting sound to work, too.
I have a 600 that has a CS423something chip, detected by Win95 as a SB16 or pro, and with that info I've faked it in Mandrake.
OT (my turn) Does the 600 need the dongle to play DVDs?
How many of you are going to put your 600something-or-other out on E-bay? Dont really need batteries, give me two AC adaptors, one at work and one at home...
...because I can't commit to really long novels. I have been reading Year's Best SF 1 thru 7 edited by David Hartwell, because it's like a different episode in each short story.
Anybody know of some other similar stellar collection?
Announcing the new Windows ER.
2 minutes broken down thus:
1 min 50 sec to determine if you've got sufficient health insurance coverage
10 sec for mouth-to-mouth by really hot flight attendant (Whaddya mean she ain't qualified?)
Too late, those CDs have already been manufactured. But you'll see the brand new RH box saying, "All on 4 CDs! Get a fifth one free! Can be used as coaster or as a text editor!"
back in the day, b4 coming here to the US, and living in a 3rd world country, I thought the only chance I'd ever get for having a 17-inch monitor would be to get a 14-incher and a screen magnifier like in the movie.
Dude, after making the computer, why not put it on the Standard Government Issue Sliding Desk;-)
Now I'm looking at the third monitor in my 3-headed setup and thinking of stripping it out of its case. Would that constitute a fire hazard in a carpeted apartment?

Two words: Drop test

Are these American (pop) stars with anime-inspired music videos, or are these imported from Japan? Somebody please provide a link!
Call it Asgard; you already know why
Geek looks up from his PC after being shown the article:
"Handwriting? What's handwriting?"
As an aside, I've seen these at the CompUSA, and I've drooled on them already. Taking the "lap" requirement out of "laptop".
And suddenly the old Star Trek episodes, where the Captain signs on a Yeoman's clipboard feel sooo 60's.
Forget about Phoenix.
...got carried away there
Call it RODAN
And the next browser wars? Mozilla vs. Rodan! Destroy All Monsters! Tokyo is in Peril!

I'll trade you one S3 card for 4 of those monitors :-) Yessirree these cards are expensive here heh heh
NOW look at all those Windows people giggling and pointing their fingers at us!
(Remember the airplane joke, what the linux people did...)
Ya, and is he a true geek?
FACT 1: He knows how to handle power tools
FACT 2: He frequents Home Depot
FACT 3: He has a wife (as of presstime at least)
It's one fine funny read, too.
...and suddenly all those sci-fi movies featuring big fat CRTs suddenly became rather...dated.

To the firms making them: please donate one to John Carmack, so he can forget about rocketry and go back to rocket launchers

Did you even read the article, it said fold the page until line A meets line B...
