Nope. They will not even look at you with a bag full of 20's. They wipe their asses with those, 100's are the way to go, 50's if you are dealing with a junior senator/congressman.
For a private person to do this is ok, but for a institution to do it is abslutely stupid.
According to the FCC, nearly all modifications to 802.11b base stations is illegal. To get it to transmit date far enough (spec is 300 feet) requires quite a bit of power, and that power starts to transmit serious amounts of interference. 802.11b is legal only because the spec says that it has to accept all interference, and provide none. If you were to set up a network using multiple base stations that have been modified, and cause noticable interference, the FCC will come to investigate.
Then the school is screwed, and so are the students.
It is debatable as to whether Apple is making a profit right now. OSX on it's own? Reasonably sure they have lost money on that venture, by itself.
RH money is only a recent thing, they went the VC way, and were smart enough to not self-destruct. They are a service oriented company, whereas MS and Apple are selling a product first, and then a service to run that product in a useful way (esp. MS). Yes, you can buy RH, but how many out there actually do?
are the rights of those that hold copyrights going to be able to change/halt the rights of other companies to make/market/sell specific products.
in other words, can Disney tell Sony/Yamaha/etc that they can't make cd-rw's or dvd-/+rw's anymore because it violates Disney's rights? is Nero no longer allowed to make "burning" software? is apple's imusic illegal?
The First and Tenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution provide for things that were not originally in the Constitution. Hence, the word amendment.
Free Speech does not cover freely distributing copyrighted works without cost, in mass quantities. The mass quantity is what differenciates today's issue versus that of 1976.
It is something new that needs to laws to govern its ramifications. It is just a matter of if one industry is going to be given the power to regulate others (hardware manufacturers etc.).
Both Intel and AMD subscribe to the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation's SPEC CPU2000 benchmark, but Dunford said it would be "misleading" to use its figures as a replacement for clock speed.
Dunford, who works for Intel, does not want the masses to realize that it is not clock speed (GHz) that is the ultimate measure of performance of a cpu. If that were to happen, people might buy more and more AMD's, or even Apple's for that matter. Intel wants to keep their market share, and they have the best partner in the business, Microsoft.
What if AMD formed a deal with some manufacturer, offered $11 per box (verus Microsoft's $10), only if the box's were sold with Linux?
But I do have a few questions; what percentage of homes in Cuba have electricity? And how many of those have telephone service? And who would be their ISP?
You are missing one important aspect; the feel good fuzziness of "being able to overcome" drastic circumstances. This is in direct response to 9/11. IMHO that is;-)
the price of memory went up for the iBook's too. it was $300 for the 512MB upgrade, it is now $400, well that's what it was when it went up nearly 2 weeks ago. the salesperson actually told me to not waste my money on "Apple memory" and do what she did, buy it online! (course i saved myself even more...)
Codeweavers selling their own distro with this "built in." I am fairly certain they could add $10 to the price of the plugin and sell a modified version of Redhat or Mandrake or Suse or whoever. This would only be a short term solution, but it would be cool, IMO.
just another reason to add to my list of why i haven't done any p2p since napster went away. simple kindergarden stuff here; if i can't trust, how can i share?
don't we go to the movies as a way of relaxation, a form of entertainment that is computerless? if i was sitting behind someone who was reading/. with that big white background, i would go nuts! think, how annoying is it when someone cracks the door open during the show? all that extra light, plus windows system sounds (bsod might be funny though)! no thanks. i want to go to the movie theater for the movie (and check out the ladies), not so i can surf the web.

that is the second best usage i can think of for 802.11b...
...wtf is sony thinking? undermining another sector of their business??
which day is it? i can never keep track of when we hate AOL/TW and when we don't?
is there a $ cal -aol/tw that i don't know about?

Like Apple?

most new computer buyers are windows users.
/. crowd is the AMD crowd. we look at performance per dollar first.
most of the benchmarks run only on windows, or are faster (yield bigger or better numbers) on windows.
i think most have conceded the fact that the
must suck to be Intel seeing that your new 2.4GHz chip is only faster on some things than AMD's 1.73GHz chip. d'oh!
some much intelligent banter regarding a Katz article?
it's got to be april fool's day.
(was this a book review done in the wrong format?)
according to Teoma, yzedf garners zero hits.
with Google, 111.
ah well, think i will stick with Google.

sounds like a mobile version of the electric fences for dogs.

and it is his OS. he can do, or not do, whatever he wants, whenever he wants.
just because it is GPL'ed doesn't require that he has to take the input of others.

Why is it that every one assumes that installation is one of the main areas (still) that Linux needs to improve on?
I know next to nothing about Linux, yet I can install and use Redhat 7.x and Mandrake 8.x without any problems.
If Linux becomes a force on the desktop market, will it not be installed when Joe/Jane Public buys their machine from Dell?
