You have to be available within an hour to race off to some random party, but you would like to plug into the stereo equipment of the place you're playing. Do you play living rooms or something? And you want to do this with a single DVD, instead of turntables or (ugh) CDs? Yo, yo, yo! Super DJ Cheap in the house! Rockin' the coffee table!
If you somehow actually manage to pull this off, just hope nobody uses your entire music library as a drink coaster.
Hooking crap up to a serial port isn't exactly the same as inserting a Debian CD in your skimmer basket and installing LILO on your pool's boot sector.
Well, cable modem is $30 a month for what appears to be 6 megabits down, 1.5 megabits up. DSL is $65 a month for the ISP (this includes static IP, secondary DNS (I host primary), and 8 additional IPs (for a total of 9). The line itself is an additional $30 a month or something. Still *less* than I was paying for a dedicated 56k dialup with the same services attached to it (through the same company.) I consider both to be worth it for the services provided (cable: insanely fast bandwidth, DSL: everything else.)
Now, can you explain how to use Linux reliably as a full-featured NT Domain Server? Easily? The guy needs a domain server that does file and print serving, DHCP, web serving, and SMTP. In an hour and a half, I could have a Windows 2000 server up and running doing all that. To suggest a salesman-turned-pseudo-techie waste his time learning Linux, how to configure Apache, SAMBA, dhcpd, sendmail, and some godawful clusterfuck solution like samba + CUPS/lpng/etc. would be absolutely laughable. Which is, of course, why everyone in this thread is suggesting it.
You can instantly cut voltage consumption in half!

Voltage Frugal PCs?

If you live anywhere but inside the United States, switch the little red thing on the back of your PC from 220 to 110!! This will cause your PC to use *half* the voltage it normally would!!
Yes, I did. Basically, all that needs to be done is a little rewrite of part of the linux SCSI tape driver code to enable it to recognize audio DATs. The DATlib software comes with 2.0 linux patches, but I was running 2.2 at the time. I ended up porting the patches for 2.0 to 2.2. Basically, for 2.2, they rewrote the entire st driver and changed a lot of the function/syscall names, and so the port/patching mostly involved renaming stuff in the original patch (a lot of source code comparison.) In the end, it worked fine.
The DATlib software itself now seems to be maintained by Wayne Hoxsie; he has modified it to work (better, I imagine) with Linux. You can get it here.
My Neumanns alone cost $1400. What do you plan to record on a $1000 budget? Do you want it to sound good? Are you going to attempt multitracking without something like Peak, Paris, or Protools? Please think about what you're trying to do and realize that, sometimes, you *really do* need to spend money on things.
There is no Linux pro audio solution. There is no Open Source microphone preamplifier. You can not do more with less in some hobbies. A SM57 is cheap and it sounds it; there's no magic way to change it.
The airline industry is not an arm of the government, and you are not entitled to due process from a private industry. You need to stop thinking the Constitution applies everywhere.
If it keeps more planes from crashing into buildings, then I'm all for racism. Gotta weigh the pros and cons here, folks, It's not like we're locking people up over this.
The checks would be against perceived security "flags", and each passenger would be given a "threat assessment" score: for example, someone who purchased four tickets for four passengers on a single flight on the same credit card would have a higher threat rating than you or I would. Yes, before slashdroids go apeshit over this, we can assume a family going to Disneyworld would not be flagged, but four guys with more consonants than vowels in their name sitting in different parts of the plane probably would. And what the hell's wrong with that?
How about (to make things a little more exciting) if you miss the ball without hitting n (a randomly selected number ) bricks, there is a 1 in 10 chance that your bootsector gets wiped.
With certain versions of the Linux kernel, this happens already without having to play Breakout.
