I think one's effort would be better spent with improving Linux hardware support instead of going through the hassle of building a laptop from scratch.
Akin to turning the house around to install a light bulb.
I was surprised to find 802.11 access points not at one, but TWO neighboring car dealerships. The range was poor, but it made me ponder why they'd even have 802.11 in the first place.
All that I ask from webdesigners is to make the colors of links that you haven't visited yet and have already visited DIFFERENT. For forgetful folks like me, it's helpful when you are going through a bit list of links and seeing which ones you have already looked at.
Any alternative products to that X-10 remote? I don't want to contribute any money to them knowing it will just fund more of those annoying pop-up ads.
Comedian Bobcat GOlthwaite said such criminals like gang bangers should be working in the Army, citing "These are the ones with experience!". "I'd rather have Manson out there fighting for our country than some kid who couldn't get a job at burger king"
How about offset the load of checking the sites to the client him/herself? Google/whoever gives you a raw list of search results, your client(maybe a plug-in or something) checks each one within specified thresholds(# of sockets, etc)
Why just not make the search engine check individual results(maybe in the order oldest-newest with a threshold as not to overtax the search engine) on a search, and get rid of the 404s? If it sees its share of 404s, don't show it to the user, and update its databse or whatnot so it doesn't have to do it again.
Yes, a self-updating search engine. Where's my VC?
You have to ask yourself, how many times have you tried to get a driver for device A where you know the name right off the box, only to find out that it's under a completely different name(oblivious to joe consumer) on the vendor website?
Yes, I know certain peripherals are just different company peripherals with a new badge on them, but trying to match part numbers(whether its a network card, etc) to part numbers' drivers/info/whatever seems to be an exercise in frustration.
Notice that this is the ONLY thing on their site? The paint is still drying on this site, and with no prior content, they are offering to sell ad space already?
Perhaps they anticipated the Slashdotting, so they'd cash in on the deal by offering to sell ad space in conjunction with said fake product(notice the shadow lines on the lower 1/5th of the image) to give the illusion of a big tech gossip site.
I'd get a wooden PC if they can make it look like a video game cabinet from the early 1980s. A little wood here, some black rubber striping there, and maybe make a fake marquee up, and boom, the perfect retro computer for MAME!

Does this rugby ball have an Amazon Wishlist, blogger, or Yahoo fanclub yet?
Hey, there's an MCP-X!

I might as well buy this console since I also bought:
1. Atari Jaguar
2. Nintendo virtual boy
3. Atari 7800
4. Vectrex.
I'll hook it up to the TV card, and have some fun. Hopefully it won't end up in the closet like the 4 mentioned above reside.
I tried, but unfortunately the space taken up in comparison to slightly-compressed JPGs made me bail on the idea.
It was one of the FU Manchu movies. Curse of.. it might have been.
It was so bad Joel and the Bots copped out on their jokes, and the mads actually gave each other a high-five for their film choice.
If Emeril is any indication of successful cooking-related shows today, it will be cancelled faster than he can say BAM!@#!@#
I think Edison Carter of Network 23(on Max Headroom) would appreceate a camera like this.

Look at the headlights on that dune buggy. Nice(if it is an actual sreenshot). These shots remind me of the Final Fantasy movie.
Great, at this rate, we'll have tricked out computers a la The Fast and the Furious

Sometimes I think slashdot does away with cookies since I get randomly logged out and can't even login again. YAY!

It looks like a silver Pusher/Shover robot. does it protect you from the terrible secret of space?
YOu'd get a +1 funny if i had mod points.

How recent is this? I recall this was common knowledge(freely told to the customer) when I did Compaq support in '95.

Nope, not buying it.

I've had varying success with Intel's cameras.
I bought the regular middle-end camera, but it wouldn't work for more than 20 seconds on my K6-2 system. Tried everything, evetntually gave up.
I tried it on my Compaq Laptop, worked just great.
Tried the high-end camera at work, and just like the middle-end camera, the image quality was PERFECT(no weird lighting situations, etc).
Too bad really. For several dollars more, you could do away with grainy or poorly lit webcam images.
How harrd would it be to rig up an apartment's junction box to have it share dsl signals amongst each other? Or is that a futile idea?
