You'd have to install on another machine (or use a PCI IDE apaptor), then move the HDD to your SATA machine. You wanna play with bleeding edge hardware on Linux, you're gonna pay the consequences of being an early adopter.:)
Speaking as an American, do we really care if a company is headquartered here if they don't give anything (jobs) to the local economy? If this proposal were fact, I'm sure some of these "skeleton" companies would relocate and we would lose their tax dollars. On the other hand, many more companies would likely stay and choose to hire local talent (all things being equal). That would help tremendously.
You could very well be right, my information on the subject is limited to what the media outlets released at the time. After all, Chicago is well know for it's political wrangling.
Only where "everyone" = The posh business travelers and well-to-do citizens who own their own private jets and other small aircraft.
..Mayor of Chicago bulldozed an airport in the night..
Meigs Field had been scheduled to close for some time, and the operators were not compliant. I agree that there are a lot of instances of governments appropriating new powers, but I don't think the city was out of line here.
I also remove the sheetmetal plates that block off unused slots..
While removing the expansion plates may allow more airflow, it can also (potentially) let vermin into your computer case. A former coworker's home computer stopped working, when he opened it he found a family of mice had nested in there and chewed the cables.:)
I think his point is better illustrated by searching for a specific camera model, instead of digital cameras in general. Googling for the Sony DSC-F828 first returns the manufacturer's page, then a user review, then two e-commerce sites willing to sell you the camera. Not bad, but I would have liked more reviews.
You make some good points, however I must say that the move to graphical configuration tools is present in most of today's commercial Linux distributions, for better or worse. And to be fair, MDK 9.2 was rushed out with a few problems apparently (I haven't tried it).
I'm currently running the powerpack edition of 9.1, and very happy with it. However, there have been a few bumps, like when I built my own kernal and had some issues with Mandrakes' default settings conflicting with a vanilla kernel. Previously I ran SuSE 8.0 and Redhat 7.0, and both had their own idiosyncrasies, especially SuSE.
I did briefly try Debian (Woody), and wasn't crazy about it. After apt-getting a kernel that didn't have support for my NIC, I threw in the towel. I'll probably try it again someday after I've learned a little more about Linux in general.
I was in agreement with you until you implied that Mandrake users are, "the sort of people who really shouldn't even have a computer". Lindows certainly deserves criticism for throwing away most of the *nix security model, but perhaps you could explain you disdain for Mandrake?
Lots of businesses seem to find the recent terror-reactionist laws useful. Recently, Orbitz.com refused to refund some money to me from a cancelled plane trip, citing the Patriot Act or some such rubbish. How convenient for them.
Ah yes, the Adam. The computer which would generate such a power surge when powered up, that any program cassette left in the drive would be erased by magnetic induction. Wonderful design.:P
Of course when I got to college (for engineering naturally) the first thing I did was to hack an XT machine using a VIC20 CPU running at an unbelievable 10MHz!
The VIC-20's CPU (the 6502) is completely imcompatible with XT architecture, and even if it wasn't, the 6502 is limited to 1 MHz. He's either lying, or has a very hazy memory.
And for the record, my first computer was a Commodore 64 with a Datasette. Still have several, in fact!:)
Actually it was found that while the McD coffee was hot, it was at a lower temperature than a typical cafe's coffee.
I'm having a hard time believing this statement. I worked for McDonald's around 1991-1992, and the coffee we served there was incredibly hot. As in, let it cool for 30 minutes with the lid off, and it might not blister your tongue. I'd be interested to know the actual conditions and research data for the comparison you describe, it sounds to me like doctored evidence.

It looks like you're trying to upgrade your Kernel. Would you like to:
And wasn't Racoon City supposed to be somewhere out West, like Utah? Scary.. ;)

I guess I'll have to imaging her singing it, because there are no players for this Liquid Audio shite on my platform. Still, what a thought! /shivers/

Bleh, who can still listen all the way through _Stairway to Heaven_ anymore, anyway? :p
Everyone got mad..

It was also mostly BSD code, which may be freely used.

Until now..

You sir are a master of debate and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

They were pointing out that on Windows, all apps have the same look and feel.
Oh, like Winamp, MS-Word, Windows Media Player, and the Quicktime Player all have the same look and feel?
Or he could try MandrakeMove or Texstar's live CD based on Mandrake, PCLinuxOS 2K4.

How astute of you to notice.
You keep using that word. I do not think you know what it means.
But you don't drink it still boiling, do you?
