The diameter of the drum should be a bit less than the width of the mowers rotors..
Not to pick nits, but shouldn't the drum's *circumference* be a bit less than the width of the rotors? That way, once the mower has made it around one full time, there is one mower's width of rope taken off....
I agree with your point, but I don't think that this is necessarily Microsoft's problem. It is the third party software vendors that put the Administrator requirement into their software.
From what I have seen, all of the core MS apps run just fine with non-admin privileges;
I'll second the Senheiser recommendation. A few months ago, I went through about 6 pair of sony headphones, and found them to *all* be just crap. I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a mid-level ($60) pair of senheisers, and I've been in love with them ever since. I'm able to wear them for hours on end w/ no uncomfort, and the sound quality is excellent.
I had the same issue - go into Display properties, Settings tab, click Advanced. Change the DPI setting to Normal. Click OK, Restart. That should fix the problem.

Anyone else see a contradiction in the path of groklaw's mysql db?
Works great, easy to configure, and can do all of the things you are requiring (CPU load/memory/processes/etc). It has a very robust dependency mechanism, and has many levels of notifications.
I've been using it for 3 years now with zero problems. It looks like v2.0 will be out in beta form by the end of the month.
I got a kick out of the "Sound Effects" part of the FOTR extended DVD. They were talking to one of the sound engineers about making the sound effects for the watcher, right before the Fellowship enters the caves of Moria.
The engineer said that a large part of the watcher sound came from him playing around with a toilet plunger in a creek by his house.
I took up zymurgy a few months ago, and it has been one of the most rewarding things that I have done - not just because I get lots of beer to drink, but because I get to experiment with different ingredients each batch on a neverending quest for the perfect beer.

A machine that is able to stroke you with an indefatigable attention and subtleness. Automated stroking is an exciting topic, because it brings together our interests in meta creativity, biology and artificial intelligence, and of course the pleasure of being stroked.
Whoa. I didn't know there was a legit use for that many instances of the word "stroke" in two sentances.
That's all well and good except for the fact that there's a big difference between deleting a few unwanted emails and having your supper/sleep/meeting/etc interrupted by an unwanted phone call.
Good idea! But being a full-blooded Minnesotan myself, I would say that a stop in Austin, MN would be worth it. Austin is the home of the SPAM (the canned meat, not the junk email) factory. Tom Brokaw was up here a few days ago for the opening of the SPAM museum!
Not true...Microsoft's name is on the box, isn't it? So - they need to be held responsible for the contents, no matter if their programmers do the work or an outside contractor.
Unless I'm mistaken, most people (myself included) use some sort of white noise to drown out other sounds, not purely as a source of sound.
I have a small fan that I run while my wife and I sleep and it helps tremendously so that we don't hear every car that drives by our place.
I agree with the original poster that using white noise in the baby's room is a good idea. That way, Mommy and Daddy don't have to be so paranoid about keeping their guests quiet late at night.
Much to my surprise, I found the same thing when I started cable internet service w/ AT&T. The funny thing is that one time, when an AT&T service tech was over checking out some problem, I mentioned to him that I was getting free cable TV service. He looked up at me, smiled, and shrugged his shoulders...I expected him to say something about me "stealing" service, but nope!
it had better be long enough to reach from your mouth to your ear.
I have a Nokia 8290 and it roughly the length of my finger. A properly designed phone with a good microphone surely doesnt' have to reach all the way from ear to mouth.
If it's not big enough to have at least a 3x4 grid of spots you press reliably, you're not going to have much fun dialing it (let alone putting in other information).
Entering of data would not be an issue. A device like this would surely have voice-dialing capabilities for this as well as a IR/USB/whatever link to transfer data to/from your computer.
OK - so how many of us actually sit and watch TV commercials anyways? With the advent of digital cable and satellite, there are tens, if not hundreds of other stations through which to surf while waiting out a commercial break.
To Me, this is no different than using a TiVo or whatever.

Thinking? Don't computers already do that? That's what the hourglass means...at least according to my users! :-)
The SCO spokespeople are starting to sound like Baghdad Bob.
Rediculous.

I bet you have a Dell widescreen, right?

Course public transportation would be better, if it worked... I'm not holding my breath.
Yeah - if we could get the metrotransit folk to pull their heads out of their @#$% and go back to work.
Nagios

Just struck me funny.

Just read k5.
They seem to have it figured out...

So...sorry for asking, but what's the point of this article? Comparing two totally different devices?!?

I disagree - try stepping into a McD's during the lunch hour in any major downtown in the country.
The place is swarming with executives.

Funny how this server doesn't seem to have held up as well as the iPAQ :-)

Good luck installing debian on a laptop...I've found Debian to be an incredible platform for servers. On the other hand, it sucks for workstation use.
If I was you, I would find an unused box to install debian on. You'll like it very much once it's installed.
For your laptop, stick with Redhat, Mandrake, etc. They do a much better job with configuration of X, sound, etc.
