Sure you can fill your HD with loads of Mp3s or ripped Movies, but creating that much of edited text, or sourcecode or any other form of valuable information is wayyy different...
Alright, said that i'll go and complete my collection of futurama episodes...mjammjam...
Its small, though and really cheap...it definetly isnt bloated with useless features and you can put in a real large disk since there are no bios-disk-size restrictions, the newer ones have real 12" ColorDisplay. Want something special? Its got its CD-Drive under the Keyboard...i think thats neat!
Need more performance? Try a newer Panasonic Thoughbook...i think they rock!
hmmm...exist??
They may have a website running, but their latest Distri is from 1995...i rather tend to believe that someone forgot the Logon to their webserver and now it keeps running forever;-)
((Boy, 1995, those were the days...
Boss 1995: "The Interwhat?? Billy said its not important...whats that beeping noise anyways??"
Boss 1999: "Whats your name again? Who cares, i call you Internet Production Something from now on, we NEED to be in there til afternoon."
Boss 2001: "We might have overestimated the potential of Blah but our new micropaymentsystem will..blah..blah..." *sigh*))
You're right. All the time reading the review i was thinking, hell why doesn't he just fire up xmms and play the songs. Sure, the network thingy is a neat feature more mp3 players should have but really, what's the use?? Maybe handing the device to some of our office-network-users that yet couldn't figure how to access our mp3 server, err meant fileserver...i'd say it would be a great thing if you have a wireless lan and if it would be ten times smaller AND if you have a really huge home for walking around and listening to it on the headphones an...no wait, that's just as dumb...
...no wait. It is! So why am i reading this news on/.????
If i would really wanna know i bet some M$-Spokesman will tell me 24/7 during the next weeks on TV...
If they were half a man they would just unhook the broken computer, switch on its BIG SCREEN and connect their DVD to it. Regarding to my personal experience the lack of Shampoo is not that big deal when the DVD Screen at last is big enough and you got some nice Chili to get through the afternoon...

Hey, this is abot war. These guys are soldiers. They carry out orders. There is no use in letting them decide between good and bad. But when these translators work at all, maybe it is in fact a good thing after all. When people talk rather than just shoot each other i can always appreciate it.
Lispy
but, IMHO, why don't they take SOME of the money and give the marines a crash course in, say, albanian? When i go on vacation it usually takes me only a few days to be able to communicate on a simple basis with the "civilians". Enough to tell "I'm a suicidal terrorists" from "I give up!". Would it really be harder to learn another language than builiding a milliondollar superduper Translator that frightens the hell out of everyone?

I wonder if BTVS will face the same destiny? With all those characters leaving and loining the plot and Sarah Michelle getting way to mature to play a teenie girlie i sometimes wonder if it wasnt the best for BTVS to make a big screen Movie and kill the original series. The Spinoffs are great still, so why let the original show go down?
Anyways i really loved the 5th season and hope they can keep up with their high standards...
Lispy
German here too, and actually i liked the first part. I also love Indiana Jones wich is about the same Nazi Hunting stuff like Wolfenstein, so wheres the problem? But anyway, one thing making me wonder were the Cyborg Nazi-SS-Demons in the shots...man, thats creepy, is this how you are seeing us germans?? I hope not...

just switched from Yahoo! to Google.
I installed Yahoo! for her as default page because i thought she'd like all the headlines, horoscopes and stuff. But then she told me that all the banners and categories are confusing her and that she was looking for a decent searchengine.
Therefore Google was her only option.
She's happy with that now even though she doesn't speak a word of english. Google does just such a fine job on german an french pages, too.
As much as i know most Elevators in ultratall Buildings arent built with cables anymore. They work with wheels and travel like a vertical train...sorry, i dont know the exact english words but i think you get the idea;-)

He�s just looking more and more like Tux...

Preview Of Linux 2.5

actually its come so far that some folks in my office who have never seen anything but Windows tell me that the GUI of an Apple sucks. I really hate Apple and everything they do (OS architecturewise), but their GUIs always were intuitive. The best compromise i know about in case of Usability was the AMIGA though. Most of my friends didnt even KNOW that it had a powerful shell. They just inserted a disk and started playing. Those who wanted a Desktop had the workbench and it was a simple and easy to learn. Anyone who wanted to go deeper into the system had the shell. Thats how it should be, thats what Apples trying with OS X (though i must say that i believe they will fail). When it comes to Linux i really dont need a standard Desktop though. I think about nice and easy webpads running linux or about Mp3 Players in my car or whatever all having a different Look&Feel. When i come home and turn on my PC i can still have my fovourite flavor, be it a plain console. Thats the STRENGTH of Linux not one of its weaknesses.

Soorry, maybe im a bit stupid on this one but what means: "the first commercial" Distribution?
I always thought my Slack was free as in beer an freedom?? Did i miss something??
Mhmm...maybe then they start taking care of standards rather than implementing their own...

This is so weird...what is happening to Angel? Sold too? Why on earth would a network want to sell a good running show?? I dont get it...hmm...

when i heard about an IPO was on slashdot... Isnt this sad? Lispy
But it still shows the categorized hits first and that makes it rather confusing for newbies to decide.
