When is it interesting/beneficial for a salesperson to claim that a store doesn't have something?
Some salesmen can often be funny creatures like a guy that doesn't date much. They start to do funny, destructive things much like a sociopath. They are often coached by management with random tips how to improve sales. Wanting to appear smart, they may deliberately pass on the small fish and claim that customer had no money and was wasting time.
Because some of these stores are actually front ends of large regional distribution wharehouses. At the Microcenter down the street, they may have several laptops of a certain brand in the retail area, but they often have several hundred more of that model on pallets in back. I know that store doesn't sell them all through the front door as they could have hundreds one day and only several left the next.
Apparently the rogue salesman wasn't impressed with my wanting a "cheap Linux laptop" and told me there were none left. Never mind I checked the website half an hour earlier before coming in and there were about 270 in stock at that store. So I went up front to customer service. They checked for stock and had two people help me. One to go back and fire the salesman and the other to get my laptop. That store appears to have stopped the practice of giving salesmen credit for purchases soon after. The salesmen no longer act like vultures. Customers do the store and community great service by reporting the problem.
With a simple poke statement in basic, you can change the graphical workspace to the other screen. Finding a computer that didn't have different workspace pages may be a tougher find.
Of course, the obvious alternative would be for people to just dig out their old copies of Windows 3.1.
Windows 3.1 had no built in network stack. Microsoft wanted their own propietary service at the time. Third party vendors were the only source if you wanted the internet.
More importantly, distributions with closed source drivers are very fragile and easily break. Having an open source driver, its easy to find what went wrong with the changes and fix that. The closed source drivers don't like change. That's my 10+ years with Linux.
I would give almost anything to have a blacklist of domains I could set while logged into google so that those never showed up in my searches ever again...
Exactly what you are looking for, Google's customizable search engine:
Its the Prior Art Generator. Its only fair. They have infinite computers to generate infinite patents, but now you can hit reload until you win that $50,000:
And you know that 1x1 pixel is all the evidence we need. You see, that pixel represents a single atom, which has bands of electrons, each with distinct spins, each of those with unique quantum signatures all the way up to other dimensions in other universes, all tied together with string theory back to the original untouched photograph.
You may sign the confession now or we will get a court order to further examine the evidence...
Could you please explain? Does the battery failure actually break the drive?
Yes. Run a USB powered hard drive from a USB port with too little current and the drive will start clicking as it malfunctions. It can fail to start up after that. Data cannot be recovered.
I don't know much about benchmarks, but here's how my Aspire One seems quite impressive running from three small lithium cells:
localhost dattaway # hdparm -tT/dev/sda/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 1262 MB in 2.00 seconds = 630.53 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 184 MB in 3.00 seconds = 61.29 MB/sec
That's the first time I've seen a netbook transfer files around that quick. Copying directories confirms it. The IO of my eeepc is a magnitude slower. And integer performance seems much faster too:

how can you fraudulently click something?
Some lawmaker thought it would be a great idea to make it against the law to request information under certain conditions.

Took me three days to register...
Consistently, every new version of Firefox comes with a larger installation footprint, larger use of resources, larger lock in to Google
You might enjoy the newest firefox 3.1 beta2. Very fast and lightweight on netbooks, yet more features.

Well, if the climate models could re-create the last 1000 years, that would be a pretty good validation. I doubt they can though.
Our sun is about to enter the 309 year cycle with that ice age:

Coincidence or anti-competitive behavior in action?
I've noticed lots of Microsoft news articles recently too.

However, if you handcode something, no matter how primitive, it likely lasts a lot longer because nobody bothers hacking into your site...
Simply renaming the .php files worked 100% for me.
...will solve the problem. Wait a few generations and this trend will fix itself.
I've not seen an IPv6 compliant router yet.
You should install ddwrt or openwrt on your router. Much more than ipv6, you'll have a great router.
Many embedded linux devices are IPV6 compliant. Even my AXIS webcam can talk ipv6.
Unfortunately, my ISP, RoadRunner is stuck in dark ages.

This is one of those rare moments of government deregulations that its good enough for a repost.
"wishes of the internet community"
That's just like "The American People" politicians keep talking about: the wealthy top 0.001% Internet Community.
People who have the best job in the world (and out of this world) really don't get much sympathy from me when they complain about the job.
Never underestimate several people in a small capsule farting over many days. Sometimes depression will make your eyes burn.
Toshiba, IBM, Seagate... I have a collection over the years.
