To get around the whole WinModem issue I also bought a XirCom RealPort and that rocks too. I dock it at work and that's some 3Com or another. I also bought the extended battery. I flew New York to Seattle non-stop and I still had enough juice to boot up and do some surfing via the cable modem.

My machine is also not "suspend" friendly. Suspending usually means pulling the battery and rebooting.
I have W2K on the other side and it doesn't last as long and ODDLY the sound is nowhere near as good as it is in Gnome. I am using the OSS sound thingy but it won't play MP3s in Xmms, if I dbl click them (the only way I can get them to do anything) they do play.
Anyone know a better sound "thingy" (I only use technical terms here) for the ESS Maestro?
"Exchange, hmmm.
Well you'll have to send me to school, and we'll need a new server, and licenses.
Hey I know! Let's use mail.com they do Exchange hosting...
Well no, our intranet would be gone...
No we wouldn't have all those neat things that Notes does for our clients...
Hey but you could do an auto sig...
Oh, OK you want to stick with what we have? Well alright."
Don't take it personally your state is nice and all, but seeing as how you're not even done counting yet I would have to say that your states system is fairly flawed. More to the point since your state's EC vote has never really meant much I'll bet OR has NEVER finished counting their votes since forver.
The Founding Fathers (FFs) knew enough to ensure against Mob Rule and or Stupid People. In the day of the FFs a group of people could rise up get guns and MAKE people do what they wanted (See Also the The Am. Revolution) Stupid People have plauged not only this country but the whole world for eons, the FFs knew they needed good folk of hearty stock who:
A--Could not be bought for a penny (ie were wealthy, land owner types)
B--Could read (not dirt eating types)
C--Were not confused by shiny objects and or anything called chad.
Hence the Electoral College. A good idea that 3 times in US History has said, "What're you people idiots? We're electing this guy because you people couldn't be trusted with dull sticks."
2-- Voting On The Web?
Are you frigging insane? The Yankees can't keep their site safe, and they're NYers!
However, I have this idea. (Here's the idea part)
You still having voting centers BUT you have machines that are hooked together via LAN. Every voter gets a credit card thingy. You slip the CC into the voting KIOSK. They are just computers w/ 17" monitors and a button pad and in 640X480 you choose your candidates and when you hit vote you get a screen that says "IS THIS WHO YOU WANT?" and lists out your choices and it sits there for 40 seconds or so and THEN you can hit yes or no. A big "DING!" goes off and you're out of there.
It doesn't "transmit" anything until the polls close and then it "Blips" everything over in one shot to some central server who then "blips it all to DC (or wherever). To keep the intercepting down to a minimum.
Obviously the whole thing runs on Linux with Perl, MySQL, PHP and Apache. With some wicked huge encryption.
That is it. Listen up rest of the world. Your views are unimportant! IN FACT, if your views do not eminate from Chambers St to 14th (and none of those crappy 2nd Avenue people either) your views are also irrelevant. If someone from America says it's Legos then the rest of the Earth shall conform. There's no point in being the most powerful nation on Earth if we can't force our will onto people.

I have been putzing with computers since the early 90s (mostly WIN and AS400) and now I have a 2 year old son who is the most important thing in the world to me. I think having him here would be distracting. My wife insists that I am a baby-hog and that if she didn't take him from me I would have him wife me 24-7. I am not (it would seem) your avg slashdotter. (Hell, I still don't *really* know what slash dot refers to.)
I simply found a job that lets me go home at a decent hour and rarely makes me work weekends. It is still hard though.
I want to work crazy hours sometimes, I want to have a hobby again, I want to see Dan every minute possible, Oh and my wife too. Maybe this industry ISN'T right for people who have (gotten) a life. Maybe the scary visages we see in the Media portraying *us* is what techies should be.

Have you read "The Pinball Effect"? Was OK, neat idea about zipping around the book in no order what so ever
...where he gets on a bicycle and pedals to light speed is gone for a minute and everyone he knows is old?
No No No! This is all wrong! No more! I need to scrub my eyes with brillo ever time I see the damn URL!

that sucked. I didn't even chuckle. I did find out about the www.windows2000sucks.com site and that was neat. Pull this thread it sucks.
...how long is the guy who came up with Outlook going away for?
so python has in game saves?
1--It needs to be on CD-ROM b/c commuting with it in your laptop bag sucks
2--It needs in game saves, and so does Diablo II for that matter.
it's not just for fetishes anymore...

Hell, my son is 2 and he just built a NASCAR out of Legos... And not some cheesy kit either, he just handed me a car and said, "Car vrum."
It didn't have wheels but it was clearly a car and it was clearly Mark Martin's.
