There might be silly problems like the restore disk simply doesn't work, which is the case with my HP tx1127. But even if it does work, it only works on the laptop. So there might not be a way to restore the original image to the original disk anyway.
And just something like the author I once made the mistake to tell the helpdesk I used Linux to diagnose an other problem (related to the mini pci-express slot), from there the helpdesk was useless in only telling me Linux wasn't supported even though I specifically mentioned that Vista had the same problem (but lacks the tools to diagnose (which might be my due to lack of knowledge I have)) and I wanted it fixed for Vista.
Well, procmail/vacation has most of these: -procmail provides the rules -vacation retrieves a message from stdin -vacation interprets it to see wheter to sent an automated response -procmail stores the message for the human operator
The last models did this with the "long play" option IIRC. So a total of 16 hours.
Truely a great system, it played 15 year old recordings like they where recorded last week. I was not amused with the quality of the VHS thingy that replaced the broken V2000 a couple of years ago.
I want a piece of that VM. ps:

And slowly growing. The fun stuff is that the JVM it is running in thinks it is using only about 400Mb (limited to 512Mb), monitoring about 67 torrents.
It will keep growing until the machine thrashes itself to death, but still the JVM is completly ignorant of it's own memory usage. My guess would be that there is a memleak in the native SWT stuff that the JVM simply knows nothing about. Over the years the leak seems to be slowing down, but after upgrading from 512Mb to 8Gb RAM who cares:)
But this way you can show the legacy IM users the power of your preferred method/client, including the backwards compatibility.
Don't forget to tell your MSN users that you can't send anything confidential over that network (the last time I did some wireless sniffing MSN wasn't even encrypted, allowing me to spy on IMs (that was before the latest MSN live thingy though))
My guess will be a zydas or ralink* stick is eaiest to find. But there are only 211 "green" cards. 77 of them are Prism based (very hard to find IMHO). Further 9 are Orinoco and Hermes (really old stuff). IOW it is mostly old stuff.
But I just manages to find a store that has the Belkin 802.11g F5D7050 so maybe it has some uses after all.
When I was shopping for wireless cards I always: -spend a lot of time to find a working chipset -find the damn thing -if you actualy get the chipset you were looking for and it is tested to work: buy a couple of them. -Redo from start when technology or interface changes.
I do miss the pcmcia interface on my new laptop, what modern chipset can compete with the Prism2?
And for more anecdotal stuff: the Broadcom in my tx1120 only works with ndiswrapper but luckily it works well (Debian unstable/amd64, with a driver acquired from Dell:).
But the worst part is that I saw this problem coming well before I bought the laptop, but since wireless is on a mini pci-e bus I thought I could simply replace it with a (hopefully) better supported card. But an Intel 3945ABG card doesn't seem to work on this machine, even worse is that HP's helpdesk just sucks (your time and energy) if you are stupid enough to mention Linux.

But I still prefer azureur over rtorrent anyday due to all plugins available and the lack of DHT.
Who in their right minds uses the emailservice of their (uplink) ISP?
Get a domain and get an emailservice for that domain (which can be the same ISP that provides the uplink ofcourse) or host it yourself (that is why you might want unfiltered access). Now if the emailprovider gets crazy ideas on how to run YOUR email you simply switch.
These days, running my own MTA I get less spam than junkmail.
So? Before high speed internet the vast majority of people owning cdburners where using them for copy copyrighted content. 99% of the stuff I download (with bittorrent) is legal (movies and music, the other 1% being nonfree software).
Might be. I certainly didn't get your praise for Telewest since TFA uses them as an example of your "everything is fine when I'm below some cap" crap.
Sadly enough this will not go anywhere until there is a full disclosure of the unknowns of the "fair use" policy. Isn't it only fair that consumers know what exactly they can and cannot do or expect from their ISP?
"My ISP (who I won't name as their customer service is currently excellent) has a "fair usage policy" like most. Their unofficial caps start when you regularly download 100s of Gigs a month. Below that limit I can max out my 8Mb line without trouble, and bittorrent is excellent."
So only a couple of days maxing your download and you are over the "fair use limit"! IMHO your ISP is not much better, only has a slightly higher cap.

So use a jabber server that has transports to legacy networks.

A torrentsite without RSS! My favorite TV stuff gets downloaded automatically using these feeds, so no need for a mobile interface.

What! You are saying that Ubuntu doesn't do this on install? Even the Debian Installer has support for these kind of setups.
And telnet never had any exploits ofcourse!
Let's see what happens when the HTTP request returns some terminal control sequences.

"Having a front end that helps you autoconfig stuff doesn't actually lesson the learning curve, but in my opinion steepens it."
Yes, all those evil linux distros are forcing you not to use $EDITOR to configure your stuff.
In many places it's yes on both counts.

How about just disabling wireless until a password is set? Most routers come with atleast 1 patch cable.
But how mucht truth is this? IMHO most people still have a means to use IE if they really wanted to.
So? Before high speed internet the vast majority of people owning cdburners where using them for copy copyrighted content. 99% of the stuff I download (with bittorrent) is legal (movies and music, the other 1% being nonfree software).
