  2. the first serious posting on Making Modifications to Your Computer Workspace? · · Score: 1

    what i would suggest is figure out the geometry involved and talk to a carpenter before you go at it.

    basically you want almost everything you need (software/ books/monitor ect) to be at arms reach and this is after your chair is correct. first adjustment needed is your arms should be more or less parrellel to the ground (and your hands should be straight).
    but ask somebody that knows this kind of thing.

    easy way to solve this problem

    1 set thing up so that before the domain goes "live" you would need to enter a "domain key"

    2 send via postal mail the "domain key" and drop any keys (and domains) that go to the same address

    3 keep the payment

  6. Re:why it takes time... on Why Open Standards Matter · · Score: 1

    umm lets see for a network install of Mandriva 2006 you would
    1 download the boot.iso from a mirror (devel tree)
    2 boot up and run the installer
    3 reboot and find that you already have a 99% current system already (some stuff is only on the updates)
    4 add in the plf sources and the club sources (if you are a club member)
    its all P&C from that point

    5 Profit!!
    and if you check you are looking at north of 12 gigs of software so ....

    a few things that will help that kind of thing

    1 about every fortnight or so have the battery on your BB give out and then charge it
    WITH YOUR BB OFF

    2 turn in your employer to OSHA for a workplace hazard (obviously if you have been "on call"/ working for 80+ hours straight its unhealthy)

    3 bring you kids to work if you get called when you are doing something with them

  11. Re:Kill two birds with one stone... on Cleaner Air Adds To Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Becuase the number of nukes needed to get rid of "those oil hoarding terrorists " would be to many to handle even if Red Adaire himself came back to help with the clean up.

    So for your plan to work we would need to
    1 find a working TARDIS (with Doctor)
    2 find a Mass replicator enabled for Human replication
    3 figure out how to deradiate large areas of land (can't have the Harem Girls glowing in the dark)

    spiking the spin on #4 since the base install should have enough push to get the system online (but with maybe impaired performance) you should be able to hit the dell site and download the "full version" drivers and fill in any other gaps with software of YOUR CHOICE
