    The New Mac Mini draws 14W at idle, why not get that? :) It even has a new version with dual hard drives.

  3. Re:I really like OpenSolaris on OpenSolaris vs. Linux, For Linux Users · · Score: 1

    That's just crazy, you should be using --with-a-black-rooster-to-the-gods-of-GNU. When will you people learn?

    Linux IS basically linux, except when the forks of Ubuntu seem to offer differing hardware support options because of kernel version/configuration/etc and the network config tool in the WM's have hissy fits over x piece of hardware vs y piece.

  8. Re:Stickin' it to the Man.... on Bionic Man May Soon be a Reality · · Score: 1

    Corporatisation a bad thing? Slap a Coca-Cola logo on my ass if I'll be able to work on my car without tools (being strong and dextrous enough to undo bolts with my fingers) and see through walls or clothing!
