    Well I've put a team of monkeys to work on trying to figure out how to ensure you don't lose your $129 dollars, and will still allow Steve Jobs to market his product in a way that he sees fit.

    After 3.4 seconds, the monkeys typed the following:

    You mean guilty until proven innocent? The burden is on the STUDENT to justify what they are researching.

  9. Re:Heh. on The Guy Responsible For Ctrl-Alt-Del · · Score: 1

    for xp systems that are not connected to a domain (welcome screen enabled, fast user switching enabled) CTRL-ALT-DEL still brings up task manager.

  10. Re:Heh. on The Guy Responsible For Ctrl-Alt-Del · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ctrl-Alt-Delete brings up task manager on some systems and options to change password/launch task manager/lock screen on the other.

    It never had anything to do with hard reset, CTRL-ALT-DEL is a soft reset.

    If you want a hard reset, thats why the case/tower normally has a button for reset.

    I work at a medium-large (household name) sized software company and have basically nil Linux knowledge. However, going through the docs jabber took only a few hours to setup, creating contact lists for everyone took some time but since they were XML i loved it.

  13. Re:Only for embedded devices on Software Tweak Makes Linux Boot In Under 200 ms · · Score: 2, Informative

    >> Perhaps the instant-on concept confuses you?

    No, it's not a matter of confusion, the parent seems to be deciding to use Windows vs Linux based on the bootup time which is silly. There are tools for every job. Sometimes it is Windows, sometimes it is Linux.

    The alternative I suggested was to use suspend, a better option would be hibernate perhaps where the laptop is completely powered down. The Ram contents are written to harddisk. On an ACPI system windows begins loading and sees that it was in suspend and loads the hibernation file into ram, or APM where this function is controlled more at the bios level.

    I'm all for that last minute getting to class thing, but you could always boot it a minute before class starts?

    If they're wrong, although I doubt it, and it turns out LinkSys did release everything they needed to release in order to comply with GPL, this is probably the latest product they'll release with Linux code.
