They work great in Florida. They work better with direct light, but I have one on a western slope of the roof and it still gets a decent amount of light in the morning.
These are a bit more advanced. There is a filter that splits the visible and infrared spectrums and use the infrared to power solenoid cells. They use fiberoptics instead of a shiny metal tube. And the end of the fiber optics is a light fixture that has regualr electric lights as well. The whole thing is meant to keep light levels constant but save a bit of electricity.
The Solartube works pretty well. I put one in for a skylight in the bathroom that has no windows and sits in the middle of the house. Great that now during the day, don't need to turn on a light for the bathroom.
The hybrid lights are a bit more advanced as they are also solar panels to generate electricity and include electric lights to maintain a general brightness inside.
Compatible hardware such as HP or Epson printers just work. Lexmark has bare minimal compatibility on some of their inkjet printers, but the laser printers just work as well.
The install process for most Linux Distros is so easy I don't know how to make it any easier. Sounds like someone screwed up and accidentally erased thier windows partition on a dual boot. Other OS partitioning utils really suck so, something in linux like HardDrake or Disk Druid is really good.
It is not 1999 anymore. I have yet to see a problem with mouse support that is any more complex than it did not detect my wheel. hardly critical and a few clicks to correct.
For support of programs best to install both GNOME and KDE, though you can get by with just one. But even if you just install multiple DE/WM's, it does not hurt anything. Whatever the default is for your distro will load unless you choose something else.
GNOME and KDE have supported changing the screen res on the fly for some time. Plus if X setup properly you can just hit ctrl+alt+ + or - for aquick screen magnification.
If you use a gui package manager to isntall it will list the packages in a heirachy by type even if the individual package names mean nothing to you.
If having a choice between Kword and OO Writer is confusing to you, well I am not going to comment further.
Konqueror and Nautilus already closely imitate Windows explorer so I don't know what you mean here.
In Mandrake the program to remove software is labeled "Remove Software". Is that obvious enough for you?
A bit of script hack-fu will handle any of that. He probably also meant to zip the tarballs. Though GNU tar supports gzip and bzip2 compression as an extra flag.
I don't see what the big deal is. The print version of news papers is an ad supported model. The physical cost of the paper barely supports the printing and distribution. They just need to get local companies to buy ads on the website.
The RPG Shadowrun also had a cyberware hand claws. It was widely regarded to be a copy of Wolverine then, but there is a limited number of ways to hide a set of knives inside the arm.
See, the problem comes in that my taxes are being used to enforce your copyright. The deal is, for helping to enforce your copyright, we get free access after a limited time. The problem is that it becomes unlimited for any practical consideration. Anything created during my lifetime I can reasonably expect to die before a copyrighted work becomes public domain.
Well, I use the suite. I find it rediculous that i need to download a bunch of extensions and a several other programs to do what I do with the Suite to do what I want in Firefox.
Actually that review where Mozilla and Firefox and several others were tested; Mozilla was faster. Moz 1.7.3 (with some backports patched I think) and Firefox 1.0 and they take the same time to load on my Linux box.
Basically it takes a notebook that can throttle back the CPU to a point where it doesn't need the fan to run, just enough RAM so no swap is needed but not to much to suckup the Watts, and dim the brightness of the LCD, as well as have the power management turn off the hdd after a few minutes.
I haven't used a notebook that got 11 hrs unless it was using a doublesized battery, but a friend that had a Toshiba libretto would get 10+ hrs. Another friend had a Sony Picturebook with the double battery that would get 15 hrs.
Of course the T notebook is more like a powerbook because it has a DVDRW drive. An you pay a premium for a little notebook, the thing is only 3 lbs.
I use Mandrake and haven't need to do anything to use say K3B. For Xcdroast you need to launch it once as root then enable non-root mode.
Both KDE and GNOME support a per user level of setting Res and Color. The last time I needed to fiddle with sound was setting up an ISA sound card. Everything else has been autodetected for me.
Expect somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-11 hours out of a Pentium M notebook. It depends on a number of factors But some will get better than 5 hours. I have used a Sony t150 for 7hrs straight and still had some battery juice left.
It is basically the same as the GPL, so I don't see why Bram didn't just use the the GPL. Invariably the BT licence is incompatible with the GPL.* So now if you want to incorporate BT into something like say Konqueror, you can't.
*I may be wrong about the compatibility, but it still does not seem to justify creating yet another licence that does nothing new.
1) Needs OEM support. I doubt you could make the installation process any easier. 2) It is at least as good as Windows is now, probably better. 3) URPMI There are some graphical frontends to apt as well. Plus Linspire's Click N Run is very good. 4) I dont' see the problem with cut and paste in modern GNOME/KDE. 5) Besides Grammar check what is really missing in the current Apps? 6) Eh, the Documentation can be good or spotty depending. But then that happens with lots of other OS's as well. Not an excuse, but I think Linux does well in comparison. Perhaps it needs the docs more readily accessible. 7) I just installed Mandrake on a K6 300 with 60mb of RAM for the System. It ran GNOME and KDE, if albeit a bit slow. Then again it ran Win98 slow as well so... IceWM ran a bit quicker, but I decided that the slight bit more ease of use with KDE offset the slight speed gain of IceWM. I've used VectorLinux on a P90 that worked fine.
If, some big OEM vendor were to offer Linux on thier computers through regular retail, like say HP, it would take off reall well. Well, provided they offered it cheaper than the same equiped Windows Model. They should be able to knock $50 off the price.
Motif is basically deprecated along with the basic X toolkit and TK/TCL and a number of others. Most everything new is being written in either GTK or QT, with a few doing it in things like wxWindows, with the notable exception of XUL. So if Netscape 4.78 or Realplayer8 does not support copy/paste properly, then use the replacements. I don't know of any other Motif software that is even in minor use anymore.
Haven't used an OEM computer lately have you? Or do you think the random reboots are not stop errors being disguised? I deal with XP way too much to think it is crash proof.
Winmodems are not really modems. Have you compard the performance of a softmodem and a hardmodem?
In anything less than ideal conditions, which means pretty much anywhere where broadband is not a viable option, softmodems suck. You'll be lucky to manage a 28.8k connection. Hook up a hardware modem and suddenly you get a 53k connection.
But as for the software raid, what do you thinks happens in Windows? There is a driver that fools the config utils in Windows into thinking the array is one drive. What happens in Linux? There is a driver that allows one to setup a software raid and configure an array. So both Windows and Linux do the same thing but Linux is more honest about it.
The point of this was to regulate auctioneers. An unintended effect was that due to broad wording, any auction including online ones are subject to the regulation. This sort of things happens everywhere.
The legislature surely was not intending to try and push this on someone who sells something once a year online. It is like requiring a business license to hold a yard sale.

It is good chocolate by German standards. :-P

I sure hope you have trademarked and patented DivX++. I'm sure there is already someone scrambling to the Patent office. :)
Or Floppy disks.
Well Toshiba backs HD-DVD, but they will not be enough.

VMWare.
Give you a nice clean sandbox to play in.
It is in the governments interest to encourage the continuation of the population.

Maybe you should try a different Distro.
