  1. I have seen one on Notebooks for Rough People · · Score: 1

    I saw one at a govt. trade show a couple years back. They dropped it from 4 feet in the air, it was fine. They had a 200 pound man stand on it, it was fine. Then the man started jumping about 1 foot in the air, I the LCD got a hair line crack but it really didnt effect it that much.

    What I didnt see was them testing it at weird angles this was all with the laptop close and flat to the ground. Never the less I hope to afford one of these once I get out of school.

  2. Translation on German "Linux Hotel" has Tux in Every Bed · · Score: 1

    The english pages suck I think babel fish would do beter or even I could do beter with my high school german

  3. Re:DVD Drive on Pictures of New iMac · · Score: 1

    Have they corrected the problem of cds heating up in the trayless systems ? I know when ever I take a cd out of my car stereo its pretty hot.

  4. Retailers like to collect tax on Ask Slashdot: e-Commerce, Taxes & Private Transactions. · · Score: 1

    Here in Virginia the sales tax is 4.5%, the retailers get a part of that money. I am not sure what the break down is but its probably something 1% for the retailer 3.5% for the state. Basically it is payment for getting the tax.

  5. Re:But that scares me on Home Sweet Sweatshop · · Score: 1

    I have been a summer intern for since my junior year of highschool. I currently just completed my freshman year of college.

    I think the value of knowing that you are productive as an intern is very rewarding. I recently quit my summer internship at one company because my boss was too busy to help me learn and assign me meaningful tasks. He was a great guy but he was working 50+ hours a week.

    In my new job I am very productive and working very hard, 50+ hours a week. This is for a small business enjoy your job ? This is a yes or no question, there is no inbetween.

  6. South Park on French revolt against Prime Meridian-Sort Of · · Score: 1

    Its a shame this came out after school park was released. They could have had the line going through south park :)

  7. Re:South Park Reviews on South Park The Movie · · Score: 1

    When they release this movie on video or dvd they should put this review in after the credits.

    I find it very funny how close minded these people are.

    BTW isnt Big Gay AL white, the reviewer says he is black.

  8. Evil Gates on Mozilla M7 - Ready for the War · · Score: 1

    Check out Samples-> demo#14

    also on a side note, when I hit the preview button, here it seem to send it into an infinate loop :(

  9. Re:Its not NSI's fault on Dyson Says: "NSI is stalling" · · Score: 1

    Isn't our society driven by capitalism ?! Who would want to give up a good thing. Not I.

    Esther Dyson to me is like a little kid screaming for attention. I think NSI wants to get this over with asap so it can get on with its "life." Look at their stock price. They consistantly make profits whereas many other companys dont and have twice or more the price.

    NSI is down the road to having competition, they already have one registar sharing domain name registration with more to follow.

  10. Portable Mp3 Players on New mp3 Hardware · · Score: 1

    What is stopping companies from making portable mp3 players that read a cd? I can understand that it would cost a lot of $$$ but then again what new technology doesn't.

  11. Panasonic Laptops on Rugged Laptops · · Score: 2

    I have seen these at a Government convention they were dropping them about 4 feet. Then having 200 pounds guys stand and jumb on them. The screen got a little screwed up sometimes but that was it. I would love to have one of these babys.

  12. Trojan on Another PIII ID Exploit Found · · Score: 1

    Symantec declares this as a Trojan. It doesnt harm anything. This is just abuse of power by Symantec and Intel.
