vhs used to have a seperatly priced version for rentals and such, they were higher quality tape (maybe) and came out a little sooner. With DVD's that went away, the ones you rent are the same as the ones you buy at buy more.
Besides, is helping some sleazebag salesman make an extra $1000 in commission (that he would not share with you even if he saw you laying half dead in the gutter) worth your professional ethics?
I'm primarily a PC gamer, but I love the wii, granted I've only played Mario Cart and Wii sport, but that has provided hours of fun for my family and I.
I do have children who are all under 8 years old. My last game system was an xbox and the younger ones still have problems with the controllers on that, however, the wii is very easy for them to use (girls).
your argument is invalid, 56k has been slow since 1996, when I was in high school. 3mb is suitable for most people, most sites won't come close to hitting that speed. Most people's upstream is too slow,I usually recomend about 1mb.
ROTFLMAO, you are hilarious. I've supported a think client infrastructure and everything you say about higher resolution is correct, however, at least 70% of my users insisted on 800X600 (not a typo). It drove me insane, I guarantee my eyes are worse then every one of them and I work with a higher resolution, but they insisted the could not see the screen. Never mind that the monitor is pushed back to the far corner of the desk (why do people do that?).
HP and Wyse are both very expensive in my experience. I have had very good luck with Igel.
Their entry level units are pretty close to the $200, price-point.
Their remote management software is light-years ahead of wyse's.
well, the issue with the d820 is in fact the nvidia video cards overheat the system. I've had mine replaced 3 times, with assorted other systems components as they tried to verify the problem.
Your misdiagnosis rates don't stack that way. They are not proofing the previous asker's entry, like they would be if they were reading the answers and asking the patient to verify. They are not even sharing what they learn.
You can expect dell to screw up the first iteration. The D600 had a similar problem almost 5 years ago, as well as a poorly designed PCMICIA port and some other crappy issues. The 610's and 620's are awesome machines.
I told my boss to wait for the next generation of the E series before buying any laptops.
If you plug a switch into one of the LAN ports on your router, you will effectively extend the number of ports available for you to plug in computers. A switch keeps track of the MAC address of each device plugged into it and transmits information destined for that device only to that device. A hub repeats all information out all ports and it is up to the device to ignore information not destined for it. So you will get less collisions and better performance from a switch.
When you connect a switch, the router will not see the switch unless it is an expensive managed switch. The router will just see more MAC addresses requesting IP's. It will hand out the IP's. The router basically has a built in switch and when it sees traffic destined for that device, it will push it out the appropriate port, whether there is one device or 50 devices on that port is irrelevent.
Most home routers indicate they are good for up to 254 devices, which is the max you can have in one standard subnet (unless you get fancy, which you can't do on home routers).
So, to sum things up, plug a switch into one of the ports on your router. You will probably get better speeds device to device if you keep your devices on the switch, the router will not be touched for in subnet device to device communication. You could get a bottle-neck if multiple devices are trying to hit the internet at the same time, but your probably already limited by the speed of your internet connection.
When you get the switch, make sure it is autosensing or has an uplink port, unless your router is autosensing, otherwise you will need a crossover cable to connect the switch and router.

I'll bet you don't ski as well as you think you do.

sounds familiar, but I only got an overpriced AS. I'm hitting my stride now.

Words to live by...
modest exposure to the sun without sunblock.
It's easy to blame it on video games and bad parents, all that money spent on PSA to always use sunblock isn't to blame.
I hate looking at myself in HD...
thanks, I'll have to try that.
I've tried installing kids games, how do you deal with cd in they tray requirements? Do you have to crack the game to use it with wine?

The letter is nice, but if you click the link to his blog it just says:
"bwahahaha....."
I find it disconcerting...

You mean G-Force, yeah that was old out around here before x-mas, but I got it at walmart yesterday...

either terminal services, or some sort of virtual desktop solution, vmware and citrix both have them, as do other companies.

actually, one of the beauties of openSUSE is the config utility, YAST, is avaliable as a gui, or from the console. Both are identical.

ding..ding..ding, it not that there isn't room to improve, it's just that nobody does...

You must have the Intel video card, not the Nvidia one.
my 820, blew out it's graphic card at least three times. It's almost out of warranty, they claim to have redesigned it now.

ever hear of a switch or hub?
