My creative collaboration partners and I use DidiWiki (a very small and stable Wiki server) to house the knowledgebase of our roleplaying universe, and to house stories and related tales that end up being written about it. Character sheets, timelines, synopses... Wiki does it all.
You know, if we end up slashdotting their free CD order system and they try to even partially fulfill the free CD offer to us, we might end up putting the distro out of business before they can even go out of preview release mode.;)
I have never, ever, in all the years of using Windows or Linux had suspend, either S3 or suspend-to-disk work properly. None of the machines (many of them at this point) ever resumed, forcing a hard reset, fsck, and all the usual attendant issues. It also doesn't matter the vintage of the machine, or even the vintage of the OS. My experience (or lack of a successful one) spans everything from Linux kernel 2.0 and Windows 95 to kernel 2.4 and Windows 2000 Pro.
Do you think there might be a market in making iConsoles for other model vehicles, or at least similar products that look as good? As much as I'd love to have a Ford Explorer again, I'm stuck with an Oldsmobile.
What about using the old, 16-bit Windows software, even under Windows XP? You can go to places like Simtel and browse their old archives... I used to search there all the time, years ago, and they may still have freeware titles from the era stashed in their archive.
It's a little outdated, but Running MS-DOS by Van Wolverton, along with Supercharging MS-DOS by the same author not only contain basic DOS (and Windows) CLI tutorial information, but contain lots of batch-file examples, and uses for such batch files. I found them very handy learning MS-DOS (and nowadays, Windows) when I was younger.
Or did President Bush say "Crew Expiration Vehicle" three times during his speech, and made reference to "expiration that will inspire today's students"?
I've been around Texas, and I tell you I've never heard a native Texan mispronounce a word like "exploration" so obviously, repeatedly, and to me, ominously.
Really, if you think about it, the military will eventually, if it doesn't already, have its fingers in any technology that it thinks will further its goals. School location or subject really doesn't matter to them.
Wasn't Fantavision released on the Commodore 64 by Activision in the early-to-mid '80s? ISTR a fireworks construction game in that era, and I believe it was called Fantavision...
Actually, the Osborne DID come first. The Model 100 came out in mid-83, had a 40x8 display, weighed three and a half pounds, had 32k of memory, and ran for 20 hours off of AA batteries. It wasn't the first portable, but it was one of the very first machines that could be called 'notebook' (it was roughly the size of an 8.5x11" book). See Club 100 for more information, and even parts for these beauties.
...If you could transfer some of that T$ and T-merchandise and T-chicks, etc from the game to the real world, instead of the currently used way, of sucking your entire financial worth into looking good in a game?:)
NASA might have big plans, and they might get changed or altered because of whatever factors cause it. But it still remains that even this inspires hope in those of us that still believe in the American space program.
We did a great job in the 50s and 60s, and if this concept takes off (pun not intended) we might actually recover what we lost in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
I work in a white noise environment (Semiconductor manufacturing), and all that seems to do is cause me to lose my train of thought, and fall asleep on the job (Which my co-workers seem to notice, though thankfully the supervisor hasn't yet:) without fail, every night. Maybe low levels of white noise help, but it seems that if you go over a low threshold of noise, it becomes more of a counterproductive irritant... At work, I strive to be nearest the loud conversationalists, just to have a frame of reference in the sea of noise and stay awake.
Just my $0.02. Delivered after 48 hours inside said white noise... *YAWN*

"secure" and "untrusted" don't go hand in hand. If you want security, don't put things in untrusted spaces. Period.
...asking them permission first, before converting them over?
I know I've tried to run the concept by my parents and siblings more than once, and they refuse to part from their precious Windows.

I won't post a link to it here, naturally.

I don't know about mean, but I'm sure that if I excercised instead of played UT2k3, I'd probably be in a lot better shape. :)
