That's because early Inspiron 8000 are derived from the Latitude C family (C800 and the like), which is the bussinness line (only difference is a bit in the BIOS) and the new Inspiron 8500 are (probably) dervied from dell's new business family, the Latitude D...
while you make a good point debunking the need of customizing a laptop, for
"7) CPU: AFAIK, none of the manufacturers even sell their mobile CPU's in a socketed configuration. It's probably going to be built onto a motherboard."
It's not true, all (which means AMD and Intel) sells their mobile cpu in socketed form. You can even take a mobile athlon and put it in a desktop if you want. Usually, that's the motherboard the problem...

Just remember that, if you don't had any special new limiting right, the basis of (Int'l) copyright law is the Bern Convention.

"While we could have gone with Category 3 cabling, the cost difference was minor, so we chose to go with the higher quality cabling. (We have no evidence that it makes a difference for ordinary telephone service lines (POTS) one way or the other.) "
There are no difference between category 3 and 5 when it comes to POTS. It really sounds like : "well, let's take the most expensive one. As it's more expensive, it should be better"
I know, they are other reasons, e.g. to get same cabling everywhere, but that's not what they did.
For the EU and balance of powers : let's see what the new constitution will be, as one of its goals was to enhance democray, transparency and effiency of it.
I don't know who modded you as interesting, but this statement is utterly false. The first elections date back from 1979, the whole parliament is renewed every 5 years and they are the one making laws (directives is more precise).
Now a question : when was the last time you voted ?
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, but not on an opened network port !
As stated earlier, I never encountered any real static problems.
So, I'm using this (multiple size/colors)

or just use google math
you mean get rich and retire ?
shit, I have installed a server with 2 AMD, 4 HDD and an enermax 350W...
you mean it won't work ?
(uptime is now around 150 days)
Do you remember that they have been CONVICTED of monopoly abuse ?
The things that were dismissed were the remedy of Jude Jackson.
IIRC, IANAL, and YANAJE (you are not a judge either)
why don't you just apply the workaround (block the 'exotic' protocols) ?
It has already been imaginated and done partially
about 100 years ago ! (at least the basic idea)
If you go to the mundaneum, in Mons(.be), you'll have access to the card catalog system.

Really, and you do have ethernet security on your fixed network ?
If you want to make design, why head to cisco configmaker instead of cisco network designer ?
you know, that's the article which wasn't serious.
They are far from pretending that kind of complicated stuff (voice over what ?).
If you go like that, then why put two different cabling (cat5 for POTS and cat6 for data) if you will converge soon.
In fact, given their guessed budget, I would have gone all VoIP now, especially as there are some providers in the US.

Well

(for those wondering, according to some webster : prime means "having no factor except itself and one")
In 2003, the (current) president of Switzerland still has its home phone number listed in the phone book (you can even got it on internet).
He also has the small '*' which states 'Do not desire to receive advertisements' .

Yep, I mostly agree with you.
For the EU and balance of powers : let's see what the new constitution will be, as one of its goals was to enhance democray, transparency and effiency of it.
