I was going to build a shoe-boxed size PC for myself using standard size mobo and drives, right-angle PCI arms and a wood box. My plan was to mount the mobo on the bottom and the drives on top.
For a screen I would slap a 13" LCD on top to finish it off!
Face it: M$ takes a beating from you chest-thumping/. ers but then you go home to your Wintel boxes and play CloseCombat5 or FlightSim (the one where you can still crash into the WTC, lol!).
Fucking hypocrites!

Doesn't work that way: they DEMAND a local, home land-line number. They can tell because of the area code and exchange. One employer harrassed me for *months* because I didn't have one. Eventually I got one just to shut them up!
Maybe it depends on the area. Where I'm at if you don't have a number that starts w/ the local area code they look at you like you're crazy. Then they simply *repeat* the demand for a local number. Eventually you're asked to leave the premisis.
FYI: Cell phones always have weird area codes that identify them as such.
A major problem with this method is that most potential employers, landlords and utility companies DEMAND a local, home number be on file. I have been refused service because of this.
There's no getting around it: you must have a local home number.
...you *can* legally change your SS# *if* you can prove that your current one has been used in ID theft and exposes you to similar crimes in the future.
Hmmm....to follow your logic, that's like a car salseman plowing into a lost prospect's new car with a cement truck then putting a flier about *his* vehicle's 5-star safety rating on whatever's left of the smoldering wreck.
Techsupp: 'help ya?
Me: My laptop is on fire!
Techsupp: Sir?
Me: Fire! Fire! The computer just burst into flames!
Techsupp: Did you try to reboot Windows?
Me: What? I said it's on fire!
Techsupp: OK, you need to use Quick Restore then call us ba....[fire engine sirens in the background/screams of pain] Sir! Drop and roll! Drop the laptop and roll on it! Then use the Quick Restore CD!

There's nothing wrong with that line of thinking: it's just a way of you knowing that you aren't suited for this field. Pardon the pun.
Well, once I checked 'DMA' in Windows 98, rebooted and trashed my master. How's that for a scary story?
Anyone else top that?
Actually, wasn't this how Australia got *it's* start?

Does this mean the US Army can now spread Anthrax around Afghanistan to stop future terrorists?
