Actually, telomerase is what makes our cells mortal.
Telomeres are essentially filler material atthe end of our DNA strands. When a cell divides, copies of the DNA are made and telomerase snips off a couple of base pairs from the telomere. When there is no more telomere, the DNA strands (also known as chromosomes) do not divide and hence do not get copies so no more cell division.
If our cells were immortal, they would not confer immortality onto us, but something similiar to eternal youth. We could still gets sick and die, or have fatal accidents, but there would be no more degeneration from old age.
Judging from the FAQ and either known defunct or no longer available websites, the only porting house still in business is LGP. At least it is the only one I am aware of. While not a programmer myself, I do try to keep on top of the Linux Gaming News.
You forgot one step. Counter-sue. Countersueing wil make your case stronger and has the side benefit that if you win, you will break even or make a bit of money.
The Enterprise level doesn't have additional packagaes over the Mandrake Club Version. The Mandrake Club Version only has extra binary/non-free packages added.
To clarify, the Enterprise version is just a garunteed stable version, much like Debina stable. They also garuntee support for it for 5 years. There is nothing in it that you don't get with the regular version, except only security updates get applied to the Enterprise one for 5 years. For the small time user, big whoop.
To download the free version click here. It was like three clicks to find it.
I personally have found that Ubuntu does not have as good of hardware support as Mandrake/Mandriva. It is also a good idea to check the errata first as well. EasyURPMI is a nice resource to add additional sources for packages.
I have 6 full PCI slots and 4 sata connectors. I use 4 PCI slots- SB LIve, NIC, USB Ports (doesn't use the slot but does take up the opening in the back), and a modem. There is an onboard NIC so I don't need the PCI NIC, and I am not sure if the modem drivers are even loaded. I am to cheap to buy a SATA drive while my 250gb PATA drive is still in warranty. (By the same token I was too cheap to buy a SATA drive when a PATA drive was significantly cheaper). So I have 4 sata ports available.
The problem is that it is way to pricey. If it was $50 rather than $150, and used SDRAM instead of DDR, I might consider it.
The piezo speaker can work in general for sound, but it needs application support and about the only one was a port of XMMS. It doesn't really work withthe latest versions of OZ though.
You still have the onscreen keyboard wich does have decent handwriting recognition.
I haven't had a problem with any CF memory cards. Wifi, well what do you expect on Linux, get one with a well supported chipset like a prism and you are golden. I got a pretec (Prism 2.5) card that included a PCMCIA adapter. Works beautifully.
But a Creative Muvo has all thos features, same price point and no stupid cable to loose. For many , it is even better because it uses regular AAA batteries instead of proprietary LiIon that will wear out then you are screwed.
Not only that but it is a square inch. It is way to thick for such a small device. My Creative Muvo is about perfect in that regards. It is small, flat, rounded edges, and not too small. And it uses regular AAA battery, rather than a proprietary LiIon that will need replacement every year.
The mobiblue device just seems to gadgety and not that useful.
Sony Vaios are like that. Press F10 after the bios but before Windows loads and it will start the recovery process. Besides, all those medialess recovery computers still let you create recovery discs.
ATI has been notorius for bad drivers. It is hardly surprising that the driver quality lags in Linux. My Nvidia Fx5900 works the same in Doom3 in win2k and Linux.
What the hell is an USian? Do you perchance mean American? Don't like that term, then use United States Citizen.
The US created and developed the Internet. The US developed the Web. The US owns it. Just because you want it does not give you a right to it.
And who exactly would be better to control it? France and Germany censor thier own citizens. Britain makes it illegal to rip MP3's from CD's. Do you really want to get into the problems in Russia. Then there is the great Firewall of China. Are these really the countries you want in charge of the internet?
Under Windows if you have a real problem then you have to hit the registry. It is more arcane and not user friendly. If you do not luck upon some article describing what specifically to do in the registry, you are likely left banging about in the dark.
Any decent Linux Distro will have well commented/documented config files. The linux way is much easier in that respect. But I almost never have to configure things from CLI. If I want, I can use a GUI. This is distro specific though. I have a friend that bitches about the poor configs utils in Ubuntu. SUSE and Mandriva have really good ones.
Some programs are just zipped folders and do not go into Add/Remove Programs. Other times Add/Remove will not work. A linux Distro's graphical front end to APT or RPM will function in the same way as the Windows Installer.
Ever notice how on some Windows program CDROM, it says click Start, click run, type 'd:\setup.exe'? It is a lot easier to to have some one type something in when giving written instructions. That is why when someone give instructions on the web, it is in the form of 'rpm -U foo.rpm'.
A while back I wanted to check the integrity of a hard drive and realized that the hard drive utilities were on floppy. I have long since abandoned the floppy drive in my long upgraded machine. So I searched around for a bootable cd image that had such utils and found this. If you ever need one of those floppy utils, most likely they will be found on the Ultimate boot CD.

Well, god will sort it out. The problem comes in that he usually does his sorting in the afterlife.

I just want to say thanks to LGP as well.

Evolution is nearly identical to Outlook in features.
Do you have the right to resell the HP book?
Do you have the right to quote passages for a review?
The big problem many of us have is that copyright is not an unlimited right. Copyright is granted for a limited time to recompense the author.
It depends on the window manager. Some of the more intelligent ones will let you individually manage the "height" of the wWindow.

No, to awaken the dead, it is "Klaatu, Barada, Harumph."

Emperor Linux will not only sell preconfigured Linux systems, but will configure your already purchased system.
No affiliation, just have a friend who swears by them.
No, no I did'nt have to do that in Mandrake for my Nvidia card.
I booted of the CD and it installed everything.
When I upgraded the driver, I downloaded it, extracted it and ran it from a console. I selected the defaults and restarted X.
Recent versions of Linux handle RAID or SATA gracefully.
If you can still boot the computer, you can bios flash it from CD.
But Gnumeric is as good as Excel if not better.
The UBCD has dos and a number of bios flashers and can be edited to included your bios flash util.
Well in my case, I dual boot so..., but surely you have a friend with a computer and cd burner.
