I just installed Mandrake 8.1 and it has an option to create a auto-install boot disk for unattended installs. I believe you could make a CD with only the packages you need, and use it to create the auto-install boot disk, it would be fairly unattended (you would need to put the disk in and probably confirm the install)

April Fools Wrap Up
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Whats all the fuss about? Read for yourself:)
The dead swans lay in the stagnent pool.
They lay. They rotted. They turned
Around occassionally.
Bits of flesh dropped off them from
Time to time.
And sank into the pool's mire.
They also smelt a great deal.

First Thought was: If it was true, it would definatly be on the homepage. Anyone think they actually might, or do you think they are too worried about lossing hardware sales (which they, no doubt, would)?
I have been wishing that Apple would release something for Intel, ever since I read this
I do enjoy the jokes though, I fell for this one.:)
This argument makes no sence at all. Why would (s)he do this at work. (s)he does not "live" at work. (S)He is living in his dorm room. In the workplace you would have to request equipment, which when (s)he got it would probably be hooked to the network, or not depending on the project.
On a separate note, I was banned from my college accounts for logging into a server. I accidentaly ssh'd into the www server, I forgot the www.cs. The server let me log in! My account was disabled for 2 weeks. How dumb is that.
I forgot to mention that it would probably be a good idea to get a cordless phone with a speaker phone on the handset. I believe V-tech makes one although I cannot find a link.
Choose a cordless 2ghz phone. We use them in our server rooms. Using the cordless phone you can avoid getting tangled and knocking shit off your desk. Also, most of them are fairly resilient to server interference.
I'm reading Red Mars right now. The book mentions alot about the permafrost. Was that a lucky guess, or is this old news? Just curios, its amazing how often I see news about Mars now that I am reading the book
Though I can't personally recommend them, people have recommended them to me. phpwebhosting.com They have a pretty snazzy list of features including: SSI, PHP4, Perl, Python, .htaccess configuration, cgi-bin, password protected directories, crontab, ssh access (which is a must if you ask me)
There price seems resonable and they don't really have a size limit. They boast burstable bandwidth (whatever that means). Check them out.
The fee would be charged at purchase "every retailer that sells CRT devices in the state must begin collecting from consumers an as yet unspecified fee that would go toward funding the program." I assume this would mean recycling would be free, which would be great, and would keep people from throwing their old computers in the river. Making it easy would probably still be a problem.
My brother was ripped off I a similar situation. It only happened once.
eBay transactions are protected from fraud, all auctions are insured. My brother successfully got his money refunded by going through the process. Although a lenghty and time consuming process, it is worth it. I believe it took 3months to finalize, and the sellers account was NARU'ed.
As a general rule NEVER EVER buy something outside of ebay. If you lose an auction and the seller emails you and says something like "I have two would like the other one" say no, No deal is worth the risk! If you do buy something this way you are not protected.
Read the SafeHarbor rules. They have changed since my brothers problem. I believe PayPal has insurance for eBay auctions too
We have bought things ranging from Digital Camera's to Computers to Clothes to Furnature to Car's (yeah he bought a 1994 Pontiac Firebire). And only had the one problem.
On a side note I bought a bad Maxtor 7200 RPM 30gb Harddrive for $20, I returned it to Maxtor and got a brand new one. God Bless Maxtor's easy return policy!
yeah but its not like its a completly different format. If you had to buy a Not-A-CDplayer, people wouldn't buy them but they are still CD's to the average consumer.
I don't see how this could possibly hurt sales. The average consumer is not going to care where the CD is. People, unfortunatly, just arn't going to care.
From some of the pictures I have seen, they can mount a selve thing over the wheels. The article also says 75lbs of cargo, I assume the tools would be no problem. They may need to have two smaller boxes, but sounds like it could do them some good.
From what I have read, the Segway can support 7tons but cannot operate with 7 tons. The auction says 250lb's + 75lb's cargo. I would guess it will only work up to 350 or so. Would a 350 guy fit on one of these things, assuming that the platform must be level?
By participating in the FIRST Edition Segway(TM) Human Transporter Auction, you agree that, if you win one of 3 auctions, you shall attend a training session conducted by Segway prior to delivery of your Segway(TM) HT
I thought these things were supposed to be easy, and intuitive to ride. I wonder how long the training is.
I have found this program ShowShifter to work 10x better then SnapStream. With showshifter you can pause live TV, and pick up where you left off (No rewind though). And (A plus over SnapStream) you can watch as you record. It (like SnapStream) offers timed recordings, however can not currently download tv listings. The "trial" version ShowShifter is also less naggy, and more functional then the trial version of snapstream. Check it out. (Also only Windows).
unless I am missing something Garbage collection is not an option (In regards to Win programming atleast). If you don't Garbage collect, you'll crash the system, or extreamly handicap it. (Allocated memory, is used memory)
So it's fine to hand out 100 pills to children (50% sugar pills & 50% cyanide) because God will choose which ones are good and SHOULD survive?
No, cyanide is obviously bad. But if it was an actual drug, and %50 got better, and %50 got sick. As long as 1. the agent didn't know it would hurt them, and 2 the agent can use the results to "fix" the problems it would be fine. This really doesn't have anything to do with God, simply morallity.

Damn, I was gonna say that :)

1. qt-console (I fell for this one
2. Apple for x86
3. Even google has one
4. ask slashdot is full of them!
Ebay's homepage was farged up
Someone should compile a list.
I have been wishing that Apple would release something for Intel, ever since I read this
I do enjoy the jokes though, I fell for this one. :)
You really think they 1. didn't know or 2. didn't have something to do with it? I'm betting they were in on it :)
Long live Links! (Not Lynx)
Seriously if you've never used Links, you don't know how cool (let alone useful) texted based web browsing can be.
That was a damn good April Fools joke! *Smacks Forhead*

Have you ever read that warning? It says its illegal to make illegal copies.
Your not allowed to sell copies, or sell seats to watch the movie.

And I was just arguing for the sake of arguing.
