If you still have any of those thinkpads, drop me an email. I'm not too concerned about price, I just need a 233 or something. I'm in buffalo, and can probably give you a decent deal on it. If you have anything faster, tell me.
Not the case where I live. I don't know about you, but schools are either "coke" or "pepsi" schools. Won't find the other company's product anywhere in the schools.
Actually, there is such a word as "moot" if you look into it.
Google tells us there is a venture capital company And a game by that name; oddly on the "nuances of the english language. (don't even complain about mine, I won't claim to have perfect grammar, since english is an evolving language.)
I also have heard it used in reference to a gathering of were-creatures.
Not to mention, the last name "Moot" is a very real one indeed.
So yes, the word "Moot" does exist, even if people use it wrong.
Actually, this is a better idea then it first seemed, looking at it. The PS2, lacking fragile moving parts, is ideal for the travel... it offers standard USB ports on the front for mouse and keyboard. I do not know if it offers an LCD, however
ThinkGeek carries a CRT carrier, and I have seen one made for LCDs with nice neoprene padding around, particularly in the june issue of "Computer Shopper"
Well, My freinds and I host sporadically and poorly planned LAN parties here in Buffalo. However, I have a birthday coming up soon, and If I can garner enough interest, I'm considering holding a party on friday the thirteenth of september (superstitions aside). Drop me an email if you're interested.

The only problem being that even a 50 dollar CRT is likely to have a better refresh then the average LCD.
Except for that whole fourth ammendment, which is supposed to protect us from "unreasonable search or seizure". Unless of course you're a drug user or terrorist or one of the many things America has declared "War" on.
When I was doing my threaded cass study for "The world According to Cisco", I remember coming across an ISP offering 100mbps connections for 1,000 bucks a month.
It struck me as kind of odd, but apparently, it's legitimate, as far as I can tell.
While I would love to post a URL, I haven't got one.
By the way, the name was cognet, or something along that line.
Seriously, Athlons may run hot, but most of the time, the stock cooling fan and an exhaust fan on the case is all you need, unless you overclock.
And mabye it's overkill on the huge HSF's for th p4's, because I have seen Dells with passive cooling on the p4, but be honest here... does the athlon really get hotter then any other comparably performing processor?
I think this runs more along the lines of "Ok, we all have the same veiws on this issue- However, this guy over here is a really effective speaker, and would make our point better heard..."
Actually, Sony sells a 200 dollar add-on kit for the Playstation2 to have it run Linux. It includes a 40GB HDD, Ethernet, Mouse, Keyboard, and a custom Linux Distro.
The japanese internment did happen. I beleive that the government did hold the decision up in korematsu vs US, but that a "formal apology" was issued during.... was it the reagen administration?
I can do alot of things to your computer that don't damage it.
I can clog it with gigs of garbage files, and you can just delete them right?
I mean, some of the ones that you don't get to might be used to track you, or worse yet- launch attacks!
Yes folks, I could run an attack routine on your computer, and technically, I haven't damaged your machine. I'm "borrowing" some resources, but I haven't damaged anything, have I?
Ok, so mabye I went into mindless rant mode, but I've been known to do that.
Actually, oddly enough, I do print slashdot sometimes. My internet access is sporadic at best, so I sometimes print slashdot, nested, 4 pages to a sheet on the HP 4050 here at school.
The problem with this method of thinking is that unlike an apartment or rented house, ISP's (broadband in particular) are harder to come by in some places. Here, where I live, the only broadband provider is adelphia. There are others, but at a couple hundred bucks for an installation, and then a few hundred a month after, I can't afford that.
Expounding upon that, I'm not about to go back to dial-up.
I'm not sure why this isn't on the front page, but it ought to be.
Anyways, I have to agree. Although it may be a bit broadscope to say that this would cover all ISP's, the government isn't unlikely to pull it off.
The thing that pisses me off, though is that this whole "destroy child pornography" bit over-reaches power. Does anyone remember the Fourth Ammendment?

KDE 3.0 is Out

My sister (15 year old mall rat) now REFUSES to use windows, since I showed her linux. She used to complain that the box I had set up for her kept crashing, so I set up a dual-boot for her, to see if she could learn. Obviously, I wouldn't want her to become frustrated with something just because she couldn't understand it, so I set up something closest to what she understood.
She understands how KDE works, because, for the most part, it's fairly intuitive. She did use linux. Not only is this a (small) proof of viability for linux in a consumer market, but it does show where even a "bloated" window manager can have it's place.
Tell me, would you rather have a bloated window manager and the linux kernel, or windows for someone you loved?
Slashdot Mirror
While I'm aware that it can be used in that capacity, it's annoying when I do use it for perfectly legimate work.
I think websense is the worst of all, considering some of the categories it puts things into.
Archive.org is a "proxy avoidance system"
everything2.com is "Tasteless"
Among other categories: Non-Traditional Religion, Drugs, Alternative Journals, Political Groups, Financial Services, and Activist Groups.
Makes doing research on anything hell.
ARGH. Did I say I wasn't too concerned about price. Damn my not sleeping. I meant I wasn't too concerned about speed. Yeah.

Media Access Control, the second layer of Ethernet. 48 Bit adressing system dealing on small scales.
Try an Zalman Flower Cooler. The CPU runs a bit hotter, but cool enough to avoid heatdeath, using a single 80mm fan, which can be very quiet.

Interestingly enough, I was trying to explain this same concept to my father no longer then an hour ago. I'll have to show him this note.
He seems to beleive that "they just make the better product, so people buy it. That's why they are so big. Not because they're an evil company"
