Lycoris is Caldera/KDE (2 for now, working on 3) based.
As such, they have offered sanctuary from any SCO lawsuits brought against their customers. I'd provide a link, but they seem to have been slashdotted.

On another note, there is a Windows Tablet available for just above $1000, here. Reconditioned Gateway tablet, inluding wireless keyboard/touchpad - nice looking, to me. Not sure if I yet buy into the tablet idea though - maybe it's my lack of money that keeps me safe from myself.
They have a downloadable version. Source is available upon request, for a nominal shipping fee. Yes, this decision pissed off a lot of the Lycoris community. It is not dissimilar ot SuSE and Mandrake's policies of putting up their previous release for download, while limiting their current release to a "Live" status.
Of or relating to commerce: a commercial loan; a commercial attache.
Engaged in commerce: a commercial trucker.
Involved in work that is intended for the mass market: a commercial artist.
Of, relating to, or being goods, often unrefined, produced and distributed in large quantities for use by industry.
Having profit as a chief aim: a commercial book, not a scholarly tome.
Sponsored by an advertiser or supported by advertising: commercial television.
You'll notice of the four definitions, only one refers to money. "But wait", you say, "what about 'commerce'?"
Dictionary.com:
Commerce
n.
The buying and selling of goods, especially on a large scale, as between cities or nations. See Synonyms at business.
Intellectual exchange or social interaction.
Sexual intercourse.
I could go on and on with the definitions of "acquire", or the fact that "customer" is synonymous with "consumer". Point being that it can still be considered commercial without being paid for in money.
Personal websites went out when "'Blogs" entered the scene. I used to keep a domain and my personal website, but I also got a weblog, and when the domain lapsed, I didn't renew it. No biggie, I still have my place on the web. which is why personal websites came into existence.
I wouldn't say "better", since they cost about the same (i.e. way overpriced), and as such you could use a tabletPC as a terminal when at home and (this particular model) use it as a laptop/tablet when not at home.
And, just for some Karma, this has been available on lycoris.com/lycoris.org for a long time - months even.
That is fscking comedy. I'm seriously laughing out loud (which has nothing to do with that queer euphamism, "lol", I see so often just about everywhere nowadays).
I know what you mean, but 18" panels at 12x10 are not at all uncommon, and I could deal with an 18" LCD. Moving above that does become a problem. If they would focus less on increasing resolution, and more on increasing response time, I'd be happy.
I want something in the 18-20" range b/c I've been spoiled by my 20" CRT real-estate. I don't think I'm quite ready to lay down over $500 to join that club though, but that doesn't keep me from researching.:^)
The CNN article's emphasis on voluntariness -- "whether schoolchildren can be allowed to recite the Pledge voluntarily" -- is grossly misleading, almost propagandistic. Most states have laws requiring the pledge to be recited every day as a class activity, and these are the laws in question.
Um, what states are these? I haven't been 'forced' to say the pledge since I was in 4th or 5th grade, circa 1989-90. Maybe that's b/c I live in a somewhat liberal state (CA - all hail the governator!)?
Explain yourself with links the the appropriate state legislature before spouting your own propaganda!
Hm, hadn't heard of anything with such low response times. Good to know they are available. Though, it seems that it's harder to get good response times from larger displays (above 17"). Is it possible that this is only a partial response time, b/c some manufacturers list both rising and falling response times, which you add together to get a total response time (like rising = 15, falling = 15, total =30).
The time calculations are correct, "ms" is millisecond, which is base 10 (1s/1000). The 16ms response time you gave works out to 62.5FPS (1/0.016). Is it possible that you're looking more to the framerates put out by your videocard? A video card will put out 300+FPS to an LCD, and display that as the framerate, even if the LCD is only showing you 50 of those frames.
Like I said, I'm not trying to call you liar, I'm just looking for info on good LCDs. I haven't read any reviews of the BenQ (Acer) LCDs, yet, though I've noticed them on the market at fair prices.
I do agree about the one "problem" (aside from response times/ghosting) is fixed resolution, but finding a 18-20" LCD with 12x10 res isn't too hard.
I have a Mac128k and a 486/66DX in the closet. But, the oldest piece I am still using was an ISA 33.6kbps modem until I picked up a cheap 56k PCI modem a month ago. Now the oldest piece is... [looking into open tower...] all of it. P3-500, 384MB RAM, 250W PSU, 20" HP monitor. All circa 2000 and earlier.
This machine is getting demoted ot my brother's box as soon as the motherboard for my new AMD2500+ system shows up.
The fastest production LCD I know of only does about 50FPS (20ms response time: 1/0.020=50FPS). Most are in the neghborhood of 33-40FPS (30-25ms response time: 1/0.025=40FPS; 1/0.030=33.3FPS). Where did you get this LCD (seriously, I'm looking for quick LCDs)? [80FPS would require a response time of 12.5ms: 1/0.0125=80FPS.] I'm not in complete doubt, just skeptical, since I haven't seen any LCDs in this range, and I've been looking.
Well, then I guess I've been committing crimes daily for the last couple years. And no one has refused it. Like I said, it helps to have your picture on your CC.
I did read the post, though you didn't read mine very carefully.
I didn't say the signature was left, I only said it didn't need to be signed. Marking something "N/A" is just a way of saying "not available" or "not applicable". If she left before they could point out that she neglected to sign the form, her signature would not be available. Where you get the idea that she could make up new terms willy-nilly and expect any court in the land to hold the CC company to them I don't know. She would be liable for any purchases made on the card. Plain and simple.
There's another post that suggests one has to sign the card, which would imply her consent to the terms, but that is also false. I have not signed my card. In the signature block I have written "check ID", so if I was to lose my card, no one would be able to fake the signature which is right there in front of them. Of course, the likely thing would be that I lost my ID with my card, so it wouldn't matter, but you never know. It helps that I have my picture on my CC.

Quite a few motherboard makers use "K8" in some of their products for the aforementioned CPUs, and VIA's chipset for the CPUs is called the K8T800.
And K8 is more likened to P3, P4, etc., than to i686, as it is a code for a certain generation of chips within a company, not an architecture, per se.

80FPS? Is it a prototype of some sort?
The fastest production LCD I know of only does about 50FPS (20ms response time: 1/0.020=50FPS). Most are in the neghborhood of 33-40FPS (30-25ms response time: 1/0.025=40FPS; 1/0.030=33.3FPS).
