yea ok I find just the opposite, see I have been on a Linux kick, trying to get away from the canned distros like ubuntu and mint, so I get a system built and use KDE and WTF
you know when you have a broken desktop method when the user spends the first moments with a new system on google trying to figure out how to get a normal and functioning desktop, and I still cant move the bloody icons once there, yes, great, first time using KDE in a long time and I am on google hopelessly trying to figure out how to click and drag a fucking icon...
Older hardware seems to be at a whim, my test machine is a AMD64 @ 2.0 ghz, 2gig of ddr1 ram and a agp8x Geforce 7800GT, and while its mostly fine it really does not take but a couple of actions happening in a short time where you can start to watch it choke. Most trolls would tell me to turn off all the extra shit, but you know what? KDE without the bonus ui crap is just a wonky LXDE to me, and this same machine has windows 7 loaded up on it and runs like a oiled up stripper down a pole, whats the problem?
I also find gnome to be getting in the way, and as of this point I am just keeping linux mint 10 with LXDE, and unless someone wants a cutting edge desktop with bling and widgets I would recommend it
its rechargeable and uses water, the title of this article makes that sound like a break through innovation, the method described is, but the title is dumb
they require 2 things, a line raster system, and self illuminating pixels. not that either are a big deal its just not something that lcd's have in a fast digital world, maybe when we start seeing cheap larger oled displays? Also the same reason your nes zapper wont work on a hdtv,
Go figure, its hard and expensive enough to keep a same year Buick running too. This thing is going to exceed 1bil before its done, great for a ribbon cutting and generic middle school "experiments". And where is my alternative energy? Thats right! It got what percentage of JUST THIS FLIGHTS budget? All for a science themed variety show... in space
omg people quit saying this, its not a fucking decade old, and what the hell? do you REALLY need a quad i7 with 8 gigs and 3 video cards to run fucking outlook, word and jerk off on the web while being paid?
in 2001 the average computer was a 500mhz 128mb of ram quit being a moron, and I dont know what the question really is, I use a 1.7ghz p4 at work with 768 meg of ram and if I just keep it clean and turn off that stupid virus scanner its more than fast enough to have a fuck ton of emails open, a spreadsheet or 2 and be here on slashdot, even with their crap slow javascript with only minimal lag

bah we can take you down with a convoy of beer and vintage electric hockey toys
sigh, can I take a shot at this joke please
Apple announced its partnership with the military today called iWings for iPads

I think you have that backwards
it was in response to the dipshit title, not the article
or I meant woosh!
its rechargeable and uses water, the title of this article makes that sound like a break through innovation, the method described is, but the title is dumb
so does the one in my lawnmower, I thought lead acid batteries have been around a while, maybe I just live in the future
no I honestly did not the first time I saw it yesterday, it IS absurd I will give you that
if you want to do something humorous it should not require reading someone's biography
I did just fine with a 486 screwed to a chunk of plywood
Commodore owned MOS technologies but I have never heard it called that before

but its not increasing worker productivity, its a one time 50$ charge to let this intern screw off at work twice as fast

and btw osama is dead
that would have been more entertaining, but equally as useless
um I just bought ddr1 ram, its like 60 bucks for a 1 gig stick, yea its still pretty cheap, but not compared to other ram
it also renders pages as useless garbage, yea I use it, but its not long before I run into something opera doesnt like and its back to firefox
the Millennium sucked, I still have one ... somewhere
and those possible 77million credit card numbers are nothing too
you havent shopped sd or ddr1 ram prices have you?
yea sd or ddr1 are really cheap, oh whats that 70 bucks for a gig?
yea you can pay for something that will become company property, sounds genius
