I used to use 2 display tables from OfficeMax, but I finally nagged my dad enough, and he built me a really nice desk setup.
Its two Oak verneer table tops, with wide legs made of the same material. Very nice and extremely heavy. IT took 2 guys to lift the table top.
me and a friend decided to have some fun,
so we would corner someone, then tell a really stupid joke like
"Did you here what crossed the road"?
"POTATO"!
and then laugh really hard.
and about 3/4 of the time, we would get the cornered guy to laugh
I use it all the time,
but the stupid web interface has to go,
I want an icon on my desktop for text editing, one for Excel, etc, not one, than choose inside of this dippy web browser
I've always heard Cox was really stingy about letting you run servers, and many people got kicked off.
I called RoadRunner and asked, and I talked to some idiot that said there was no problem.
I got his full name, the date, and everything,
if they deny me service, I could probably sue.
Last week I became a Tech guy at my school,
they called me 3 days before it started, and asked me to help setup 80 new computers.
While I was putting Windows on a few, I setup Linux on one, and showed it to the tech director.
He was really impressed, and now I get to setup 2 labs of 30 computers apiece, and find out what happens from there.
Recently got a donation of 80 p233's
I haven't shown the Tech guy yet, but the guy I was helping set them up with was very amazed by Redhat and Staroffice (he had been doing this at the school the year before aswell).
Monday I am going to setup Redhat 7.1 XFS and install Staroffice, get it on the network, then show it to the head Tech guy.
Does anyone have any suggestions that would help out?
These computers are going into labs that will be used for typing, presentation making (Staroffice has a nice app for that, btw), and web surfing.
They will be printing to a central print server.
Has anyone ever setup something like this?
I'm kinda a linux newbie (I've been using it for 2 years on and off), but I jumped at the chance to save my school 40 grand in licenses.
While were talking about refunds, lets all get refunds from Microsoft because there crappy software has bugs and was affected by something as simple as the code red bug.
Oh, I'm sorry, when we all sold our souls to microsoft when we signed the user agreement I bet that was covered.
This may be stupid, but doesn't DHCP pretty much do this all itself?
Atleast with my router it does.
I just enable it, my computer reboots, grabs an address, and I can surf the web, no biggie?
I've done the same with MAcs, and linux...
Just make a small guide and put it in each room,
"How to setup network"
and show how to enable it on each platform,
Of course you'll always get the power losers with the 3mbs networks cards or something, but shouldn't it atleast help with most of the problems?
I happened to be watching him on C-Span,
and after he talked, it was funny as hell, cause all these Annoying Churchy people kept calling and dissing him and yelling, then the MISC (mothers with Sick Children) called in dissappointed.
Actually, I've been using Linux since I was 12,
I've been on the net since 10,
I've been tech support for friends and family since I was about 11.
And, I am going to probably help out my schools computers this year.
Mp3 was here first,
more people use it,
and it works!
Why change something that works?
It gets the job done,
I have over 2 gigs of MP3's, I don't want to have to rerip everything to.ogg.
I guess I may start using it if it gets built into xmms/winamp and filesharing programs start to create a section just for it.
But I'm sure I couldn't tell a difference, I only have a Mad16 soundcard.
Are American's today really so uneducated that they can't find the square root of 144, or the value of 2^10 without using a calculator? Yep, I passed Algebra 2 with an A, and we were tought Square root meant that funny little button on the calculator, and thats about it.
Thats what I do in Spanish Class.
Its funny, cause I'm in the class below me, because I didn't take Spanish my Freshmen year.
Me and one other guy do it,
I walk into class and shout "Que Passaaa"
and he shouts back, then we just use Mexican accents for the rest of class. Pretty fun stuff actually.
Oops, I forgot to add, put your PC under your desk. I have a p2 400 with a IBM deskstar (actually, a pretty quite HD) and the loudest CPU fan in the world.
Do everything in the world to make it so you don't need fans. I mounted my HD in a 5-1/4" Bay so it would have airspace, instead of mounting them in a smaller bay with a fan.

Who listens to Michael Jackson anyways?

I have an HP 9100i, and am extremly happy.
I've never burnt a coaster (I'm on my second 100 pack, and have tons of iso's)

A highly advanced enough civilization would be like magic or something along those lines.
I was going to use Linux as the OS for a lab at school for web surfing, but I'm gonna look at QNX, does Netscape run on it?
How fast is the bootup?

Why don't they show the measurment in MIPs, or BogoMIPs?
Those are always faster than the MHz rating anyways.

When I first read the headline, I saw
"Court Decision Flavors Rambus"
mmmm, Rambus
New name-
"The Matrix II, Attack of the Clones"
I happened to be watching him on C-Span,

I have a great idea!
Lets go to the library!
Its free!!

I wonder if Linus will show up at the party?
And they better have alot of Soda, as most Linux geeks I know are wider than they are tall.

the only thing I hope is that they won't make me use that crappy AOL software over my Cablemodem, cause Right now, its on a freesco box.
Cause my new Toaster seems to crash an awful lot
