This is very well done! I would love to bee seen sitting in LA rush hour traffic in this thing! It is too bad the LA D.O.T probably wouldn't put it past inspection... But what a cool mod!
Living in Arizona we have evaporative coolers which can possibly cause the inside of your computer case to become moist. To solve this problem i put a few silica gel packets at the bottom of my case.
and another battle is waged in the war of the OS Desktop... Haven't we learned yet that war doesn't solve anything.... WE MUST STAND TOGETHER TO FACE THE BIG THREAT!! THE ONE THAT WILL DEFEAT US ALL!! The end is near for all of us if we don't stand together! Please show some humanity! Take up your posts and stand together.. THE TIME IS NOW!!!!
All of the GNOMES and KDES must stand together.. And together we will triumph over the giant that is coming to eat us ALL!!!
The Superman VS. Batman Story is from the Dark Knight Returns series of graphic Novels by Frank Miller. Along with having a (new)female robin, (The old Robin [Dick Grayson I beleave] moved on to become NightWing(?) hehe, this is going way back)... Superman gets a serious beating from Batman.. In the end when Batman and Superman do go at it, Batman gets the help of the (at that time one-armed) Green Arrow(??) which uses a special green(?whichever one makes him mortal?) kryptonite Powdered tip to weaken Superman. Then Batman gets all kung-fu samuari on him and ends up beating Superman Bloody.. A beautiful moment in comics.. I personally always liked the big B (frank miller style) more than Stuperman;). ah, the good ol' days...
M$ requires a "modern" browser like I.E. 4.0 (lol)or greater to sign up for a passport account. If you try to sign up for a hotmail account using konquerer or mozilla you are denied (funny that Mozilla 1.0 being released in the last few months isn't a modern browser.. By that math I.E. 4.0 was released last month??? Of course us Linux users can use Netscape, but how many of us accually do? I personally use mozilla. I laugh at the very idea of allowing M$ to "safeguard" my credit card. Working in IT I see the "secure" passwords my users have. It is going to be incredibly easy for some "bad" people to get the CC #s of a few million people if passport accually flys. Of course with a few Billion dollars behind you, you can cover just about anything up.. Even the theft of a few million credit cards...
I have been using an IBM T20 laptop at work for 6 months and it is by far the best out of all of the laptops we have. Better than the New Dells, better than the Tecra8100. Everything from the keyboard/mouse(?) layout to the sturdiness of the display. I would even bet money that the IBM T20 could be dropped more times than any of the others we have here without breaking (Maybe when I get laid off the theory can be tested;)
After upgrading to RedHat 7.2 on the Laptop
(from Win2k) My productivity has increased (from the fact that multiple desktop views allow multiple simultainious VMs, rdesktop sessions, and vnc windows, Staroffice, Licq, Mozilla, and wireless LAN). I would recommend RedHat 7.2 on a T20 to anyone looking for a solid Linux laptop solution. It is very sad that IBM has choosen to drop all of this.. But have no fear, the community will make it work, and work it will.:)
There is no way that the cable companies didnt know about this since cable BBand was first implemented. They probably dont have a way to control it yet... I take that back.. They haven't seen the need to spend the money to contol it.. Untill Now...
since a large percentage of the desktop users only use the internet and processing of.doc files all we need is some icon recognition and an install that doesnt ask too many questions. Put some Icons on the Desktop labeled "internet" and "office". Take away the X configuration by putting some safe values default and add trimmed xconfig that just lets you change resoulution and color. A plain english Network setup and.. Whalla! linux on the desktop. Of course they have to leave in the stuff that all of us love but we can click an extra button to get it. Just make it Dumb by default.
With the power that wine gives to *nux and the very nature of open-source software being free a licence to re-sell. It is important to protect the work and rights of the devolpers. And soon the day will come when Linux is 99.998% M$ compatable... an then... we will rule the world....
even if all this will do for me is save me 5 minutes while compiling the newest flavor by not having to have to search through the list of chipsets and network cards.. I am for it 100%. Heck, that 5 minutes might be just enough to make me not feel tired in the morning when I decide to compile my kernel in the wee morning hours.. I can get to bed at 2:55 am insted of 3;)
The reason for the fact that Microsoft is considered better among the IT Undergrad is the simple fact that they wern't taught anything else. I finished my Undergrad IT degree in May and I feel really sorry for 95% of the people who finished with me. The eduacation simply went like this:
semester one... This is a network cable, this is
DOS, this is a hard drive...
semester two... This is how you make a network cable this is how you use DOS this is how you install a hard drive...
semester three.. This is Windows 3.11 This is how it connects to a network. This is BASIC.
semester four... Here is WIndows 95/98 they work on a network.
semester four... tHis is it! What you've been waiting for the Ultimate! Windows NT 4.0.. this is how you connect your windows clients to NT...
CONGRATULATIONS! You now have an IT Degree!
This was pretty much the quality of education the others in my class got. This (un)quality of education was largely in part to the fact that there was no one to teach anything else (the school couldn't afford to pay someone $90,000/yr which is what people were making at the time) to teach a real computer course.
I luckily took it upon myself to learn Linux and UNIX during my time in college (as well as smoke a bunch of weed, find a few girls, and learn to play counter-strike) along with a couple extra semesters of random classes I was able to learn enough to get over the UNIX learning curve and am now quite successful... I feel though that the others in my class are not fairing as well in this economy...
Given the last 2 controversial proposed civil settlements by microsoft (that may not be punishment in the long run). What do you think a fair settlement for microsoft would consist of?

why does this make me think of a giant talking paper clip telling me to "Your productivity has slipped 15%, Manager 2 has been notified, thank you"
And next in headlines...
"a second group of teenagers in sweeden blew themselves up today in what appears to be a weird underground computer ritual called overclockers.. Is your child in danger??!"

i wonder if sen. disney is one of the others not mentioned.
if you were in the UK at the time some ATMs would accept any numbers punched in as an account and would give the money out freely

Don't you think that if it was M$ they would just release windows for it insted of getting people to use their biggest threat competition?
