Looks like the keyboard is force on an angle. Normally you're able to adjust the height of the keyboard. I generally like my keyboard as flat as possible and my desk/chair set to the right height so my wrists are in a comfortable and flat position instead of being tilted up. Too bad, looks like the keyboard has promise.
Hrmmmmmmm... that website (bawk.net) layout looks really familiar..... oh yah... it looks EXACTLY like http://www.hacklocalhost.com - I'm wondering when it will get acknowledged (at least) as the source of the website design?

CSS for the LDP?

I have been using DocBook in a project recently, and I think it is a much better alternative to using CSS. If you write the documentation in DB, then you can export it to a PDF, HTML, or a number of other formats. (I'll plug the http://www.asteriskdocs.org project)
I'm sorry, but some of the things I see people suing for is downright stupid. The American legal system is pretty much pathetic at this point. When people start doing things like this, it just makes me wonder.
It's Saturday night, I'm drunk and I've never had bad karma, so go ahead and mod me down:)
Here is another site I found while googling for some more information. This website has a PDF document which seems to explain how the protocol works. However, I have not actually read the paper yet so I have no comment on it (I'm going to bed now. I'll read it in the morning).
QoS is not needed with VoIP. If you are getting choppy signal, then it has everything to do with your bandwidth and lag than it has anything to do with VoIP itself. I can talk to people across the world for an hour with no dropped packets (at least noticable)
No, VoIP does not work on dialup. This is why last mile needs to be implemented to all homes. The quality of the bandwidth going into your home needs to be improved, not VoIP itself.
OK, a joke or two is fun, but when the entire website is useless for an entire day, it gets tiresome real quick. Why not at least make the story obviously a joke an hour after it's been posted.
Hard Drive - Fujitsu's problem is my problem

So my parents had one of those Fujitsu's with the faulty chip on board, and it finally died. Not even my hard drive, so I sent it to my friend who does computer sales, and he sent it back to Fujitsu. After the computer being down for over a month, I was tired of getting the calls asking me when the computer would be fixed, and if I would please call my friend. I finally just bought them a new hard drive and decided that was worth it. I live 3 hours away from them, so it's kind of hard to convince your buddy who is already busy with people who are paying him, to go and fix my parents computer for free. Such is life, but the computer got fixed, and they are back online, but damn. At least I don't live across the road from my cousins anymore.
If you feel that linux on the desktop is going to double by 2004, how do you figure we are going to get there? Who is going to lead the way and what is going to become the turning point that linux becomes a usable desktop for the majority of users? I love linux, its configurability and the support that is available on the web, but I would never install linux on my grandmothers computer at home. Do you figure that linux should just pick a default window manager now and build upon that to allow a seamless interface from those coming from Windows XP to linux?

My friend runs WinXP on a PII-233 with 196 megs of RAM and he does quite a bit with it, including creating Flash movies. It is a bit slow, but he does get away with a lot of things that he wouldn't have been able to get away with, with previous versions of Windows. I wonder if I could sneak into his house at night, install SuSE 8.2 and the XPde and see if he notices:)

I totally agree with you. I think that Microsoft basically gives away the OS for free if you are able to get it yourself, but cripples it enough that you can't do updates etc.. so that if you want to update it, then you need to purchase it. I'd almost like to see Microsoft go all the way and make it impossible to run the software with illegal copies. Or do what some of the games do and not allow you internet access without a legitamite key. That'd make a lot of people turn to Linux real quick.
Honestly, I've used a lot of Linux distro's, but never SuSE. This new 8.2 version has totally peaked my interest and I'm going to be interested to see how it runs and works. If it's as good as it sounds, then SuSE could become my new preferred desktop platform. My only fear is that it's slower than XP.
Sir, I take your challenge! I will be cancelling my phone service within' the next two weeks. I have already removed the phones from my house and plan on going totally internet communications. The reason for this is I'm a student. A poor student. And I can't afford another $30 - $40 a month. This is because of long distance charges which add up because everyone I talk to is long distance. I am in the process of switching the few people I talk to on a regular basis over to some sort of VoIP type situation, more than likely using Messenger. I am buying them all mics as that seems to be the biggest problem and installing the software for them. They all have broadband, I have broadband, and we are all paying for it. I might as well save some charges on local and long distance services by using a medium that I am ALREADY paying for.
That's what I'm thinking anyways. Maybe we'll see if it works out or not, but it'll be a good test to see how long I can go without using Ma Bell (I'm in Canada).
I agree. I run a jack from my soundcard on my computer to the RCA into my stereo. I have a DVD drive on my computer. I have a 21" monitor. I have a small bedroom where my monitor is bigger than my TV. The ONLY thing I haven't been able to get going is the XBox looking good on my computer monitor. I've tried plugging it into the TV Tuner card on my computer, but it looks like hell.
Has anyone figured out how to do this clearly?
I have both the coax and the RCA adapters, and I've tried both, and the picture just looks terrible.
If I could get this going, I could be watching a DVD one of my 21" and playing XBox on the other 21" monitor. Good times.
But THIS console, which does all I want it to do, ISN'T controlled by Microsoft. In the future, if I can't hack it, I won't buy it. Then the bottom end drops out and they are stuck. I think the hacking is what is putting the xbox in the living room. I like the look of the xbox way better in my living room, and it's basically a cheap computer I just bought, with the advantage of having games specifically made for it, and it's online. What more can I ask for, not much other than more network capable games that rock.
If you are TALKING about THIS xbox, then MS has no control, and I don't feel bad about using it. I am an avid linux fan, but damn this thing is slick.

So popular in fact, this was the first time I've heard of it.
I know it's a bit late for you, but there is something to say about researching the courses you're taking at school.

Do some research and ignore buzzwords.

Yep, and I have a 9 in front of my email address to designate me as temp as well. And the problem is....?
If I was a full time employee, and the temp was treated exactly the same as me, same perks etc... I'd probably be a little PO'd.
