I remember when Win95 was giving me all sorts of trouble on my Thinkpad 365ED, I installed Redhat 6.0. It loaded with no problem, and it was nice to have a usable laptop again. Ever since that experience (back in 1999(?)) I have been thankful to IBM, and I'm glad that they are contributing to Linux. (Also why I continue to use Redhat to this day)

Do you think they plastered the company name "FINGER WORKS" big enough?

Some ideas to improve the case

I thought the idea was kind of interesting.
Since he had such nice wood, it might have been better to conceal the drives within, and use one of the solid pieces of oak on a hinge for the front piece. Think of how a small fridge or, in this case, a cabinet opens.
One other thought is more vents. He could have easily made a few slats to allow more cooling, and probably thrown in a couple more fans while he was at it. All in all nice. After all, I don't have an oak PC case.
Using a working code name for an upcoming release, gives the developers the opportunity to decide what numerical value to assign to it.
To make a long story short, it leaves room to call it whatever you want. As a developer, I have often used a code name for the project.
For example, if the current release is called 1.0.4, the next release might become 1.0.5. But sometimes I make so many modifications, that instead of increasing the revision, I might increase the minor, in this case it would be 1.1.0, or if there has been a huge amount of changes, I might bump it up to 2.0.0.
I haven't read through all of the posts, so don't flame me if this is redundant. I noticed that the link to MS page from/. article that talks about the naked PC, is gone. in other words, MS's page no longer exists. I just thought that was worth mentioning. It seems curious don't ya think.
You're Welcome.
Even though a replacement is proposed for PCI, it will be around for a bit longer. Just look at the way ISA was slowly phased out. While many motherboards have only PCI now, (and an AGP slot for video), many main boards still have legacy ISA slots, usually 1 or 2. If a new standard bus is agreed upon, PCI 'legacy' slots will probably remain on newer boards.
I like games as much as the next guy, BUT, what about using that powerful processor on PCs also? Even though it's all still vaporware, wouldn't it be nice to have a sweet little linux box with a (very) powerful CPU, instead of having to hack a PS3 to run linux?
Just a thought...

So if they open up source (or partial source) on this, how long until there's a M$ distro? And who would buy it? They'd have to target it at some poor suckers who don't know what the open source community/movement is all about. After all, anybody who knows what's up is already running Linux, BSD or something else non-M$...

I thought it was 'Reichard'
Damn it, I was hoping for a 'Funny' ... Man, ./ sucks these days.
./?? this is /. ./configure or something?
are you thinking of
On Thursday, I submitted this to Slashdot:
"2001-08-02 20:18:48 Redhat Releases New Beta (articles,redhat) (rejected)"
Interesting how it only gets posted if the all-powerful Taco submits it... WTF?
The real definition, FYI:

Damn the man.
...WeSueYou where 'money' > 0
Damn the man.
2 things:
1. Isn't the parent off-topic?
2. Isn't BSD the core of MacOS X?
WTF?
Here is a program called OptOut which searches for spyware, and helps you remove it. (if you use windows ;)
Damn the man.
For *n*x users and *BSD users, Trillian is NOT yet available. So far only M$ OSs are supported. From their website:
"Trillian is currently available for Windows 9X/NT/2000/ME machines only! A linux port is in the works, and we're hoping to progress from there."
In response to Point # 2 - according to netcraft:
;)
.sig ;)]
:
Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) Debian/GNU PHP/4.0.6
So we can't say anything about M$, unfortunately
Does this mean that this post deserves a +2, Informative?
[yes, it's a joke, see my

Yes it was embellished, the reporter even noted that... "Note that computer criminals are apt to exaggerate their successes"
At first glance, the guy in the picture looked like Roblimo to me...
