I've written an essay on this topic for my activist group. Here's a link. The short of it is that IP isn't just and a disasterous sociological construct.
Our group feels that the proliferation of Internet access in Estonia will allow democracy to flourish there and to their trading partners. Kudos to Estonia and Elbonia!
Studies have shown that blue is the colour the human eyes are the least able to focus on. I assume the reason that this keyboard is illuminated is so that you can see the letters (not for touch typists), so choosing pretty much any other colour would have been better. As well, different colours of EL-wire cost no more than blue:/
There's also generally an audio cable requirement, but you can use a single USB cable for keyboard/mouse/other peripherals. I wonder if DVI would offer an improrvement in video signal integrity over VGA?
... you can finally do what people probably wanted to for a long time - keep track of your appointments in glorious 320x320 full screen anti-aliased 12 bit color 3D!
It's really annoying when you get bits of the surrounding songs on your saved music. Turning off crossfading will facilitate smooth ripping. Thank you.
I was doing this for a while. I streamed in about 15 niche stations that played the kind of music I liked, and got a lot of music. The error rate was fairly high, and I ended up with a lot of duplicates, but I found a lot of good music, and filled in some gaps in my collection.
I've been on Windows/Intel for over 10 years and have just recently installed Fedora on an older P3 500. Here are a couple of points I think are worth mentioning (ubergeeks can exclude themselves from the classifications below):
1. Linux is ready for *some* desktops only, namely ones where users won't be constantly tweaking and installing new software and hardware. You want a computer for grandma to browse the web, send email and view a few grandkid photos? Linux is great! You want to roll out corporate desktops where employees don't really need to be able to download and install the latest version of KaZaA? Linux is a godsend (provided the business software you need is supported).
2. Linux is *not* ready for the average user desktop. The average user wants to do everything grandma wants to do, but they also want to be able to install or upgrade software and hardware *easily*. In addition, they want a fully functional GUI, with no *necessity* of dropping to a CLI for everyday tasks. They want to be able to go to a third party software/driver website, follow the 'click here for Linux version' hyperlink, download the file, then double-click to install it.
Needless to say, as long as Linux distributions and desktop managers continue to proliferate, the average user's requirements will never be met. I say this as a *fact* not a *prescription*, so spare me the Linux-strength-in-diversity comments. I just think you can't have your cake (freedom/diversity) and eat it too (Linux on average desktop).
Really my main beef with linux is how hard it is to set the thing up when you haven't gone through the process in the last six months. I generally forget what the config file is named that I'm interested in, or where it happens to be located. Frankly, any setting that most users will have to change at some point in their life should be easily accessible through the GUI menu system.
I will admit that it is a heck of a lot better than it used to be, but I still have to do a bit of googling to get my linux system usable. Windows on the other hand, you can go to the control panel and what you want to change will likely be in there somewhere, unless it's application specific, and you don't have to read any manuals or docs to figure out how to configure your system - it's intuitive.
I wonder if this would make them grow up to carry a certain odour?
Trimethylaminuria ("fish odour syndrome") can be triggered by a kidney or liver infection or the excess intake of the chemical choline, which the body turns into trimethylamine.
Acting as a catalyst, it drives the abundance of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the martian atmosphere. Without hydrogen peroxide, molecular oxygen -- now a tiny sliver -- would soar to compose 10 percent of the martian atmosphere.

I made this a couple of years ago with my friends, was a lot of fun. link
It's here. I was really surprised to see that kind of thing, there, but I guess it is a really diverse site!

It's for Little Ceasars though. I called it "Pizza Primary". Here's a link: here.

Why not have some kind of pump (I mean, you have a cushion anyways) to recharge them?
My company which does a good bit of open source development uses very similar methodologies to those outlined in the essay.

And run the wires over to your desk. It's not like the typical geek has a huge wardrobe ;O
US population is only what, 300 million people?
India and the rest of the world is a much bigger market

because it's not very efficient for fast refreshes, just for static content, like pages in a book.
I'm pretty sure the only "refreshing" it does is when there's an actual change - it doesn't even consume power when it's idling on a page.

What use is freedom when you're dead from a terrorist attack?
I just installed Windows and it overwrote my BIOS!
Does your collection already have surround sound data? A bit pointless to convert, no new data to store.

Well, you better let it out! *click*
This isn't my field, but the article states:

which sounds like it would make a difference
