I bought my iPod (30gb Third Gen) from Dell.com for $399.10 with free shipping and no tax. Quite a steal considering that it retailed for $499. Dell used to run 10% off software and peripherals with some frequency and I found a stackable $50 of $350 coupon to really bring the price down. However Dell has stopped selling iPods since they introduced their own player.
My advice is to buy someplace where you don't have to pay sales tax since tax on such a purchase can add up quickly.
My USB Printer works great.. took 5 minutes to setup in cups.
Likewise with my Palm m500 (Load the visor module and run KPilot).
And my iPod, well that took a little more time (mostly because I had to convert it from a Mac iPod to a Windows one). But it's still a little pain due to loading several modules as root, mounting it, using gtkpod/gnupod, unmounting it, and unloading modules. But it's a small price to pay.
I might be wrong about this, but wasn't Douglas Adams going to give the commencement speach at Harvey Mudd College this weekend?
don't take my word for it, but i do remember hearing that. Anyway, I never read any of his books.... but it is still sad to see a person so many people have heard of die.
I'll admit that I had namezero register salshdot.org to point to slashdot.org... becuase I can't type worth a darn. But, it isn't like i had salshdot.org go to some non-slashdot site...
stealing content? wtf are you talking about. Since when is a frameset stealing content. It isn't going to a pretend slashdot server or anything like that.. it just is slashdot for lazy people like me, who still type teh instead of the in word processors...
I'd start out with Logo (If you can find it), then move on to C/C++ (console), and then C/C++ GUI. If you want, learning HTML and PHP would also be of great benefit (cause then you can *share* the crap you make:-).
I started out with Logo in 3rd and 4th grade on some real old Apple ]['s (this was 1993-1995). I have also found that a good math background really helps. EG, in Minnesota, they offer this program called UMTYMP (University of Minnesota Talented Youth Mathematics Program), and basically all they do is just teach you math once a week for 2hrs after school. The homework load is quite heavy, but still manageable (especially in the Pre-High School years). Anyway, I started UMTYMP in 6th grade, and took Algebra I and II. 7th grade: Geometry and PreCalculus. 8th grade: Calculus I (equivalent to Calc AB and Calc BC at your high school). 9th grade: Calculus II (Differential Equations).
Also, I have found that BeOS (http://free.be.org) has a pretty cool GUI design, and it is a good place to start GUI programming.
Man... makes me wish that I still had those beta Western Digital removable 1 & 1.5 gig hard drives...
they were nice, but never made it to the public.
thinner (height), but wider than a standard 2.5" floppy. Too bad i got pissed and decided to put the one in a tree, and accidently pull the other one out during a write operation....
Come on, everybosy go buy there little geek friend Godel, Escher, Bach : An Eternal Golden Braid, all 777 pages of it. It was an awesome book to read, even as a 13 year old. Most of the stuff was beyond me, but it did have lots of cool pictures, and was very mathy. For those of us who hate Calculus, it is probably a questionable purchase.
And that is why you dont upgrade.... I just did a little reformating, and away I went with Potato: and it works great! apt-get dist-upgrade does wonders...

Here's some pictures of the harddrive being replaced in a Titanium PowerBook.

Yah, I picked up a demo cd for kicks about 2 weeks ago at my postoffice (Eden Prairie, MN - 55344).
Kinda weird if you ask me... I wonder how much M$ had to pay for that display.

So far, it looks like these sites have it (the i386 ISO):

Actually, I was the one that signed up salshdot.org w/ namezero, because of my poor typing skills...
anyway... i hope nobody is terribly offended by this.

What have you been smoking? (And where can I get some =)
what about the "rpms"?
oh and the make-kpkg (for kernel making)
The redmond approved way is:
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network -> TCP/IP for your NIC -> Properties -> Set Ip address manually.
I think...
Its not for kids or something...
I don't know what you consider "kids", but as an 8th grader, I happily use E (unfortunately with GNOME).
Personally, I think that E is a work of art, and kicks ass. But GNOME needs help in that Bloatware area.
Some early Calculus stuff:
Let rh(t) be RedHat's similarity to M$ at time t. (rh(t)=1 means that RH=M$)
Then we can conclude that:
lim rh(t) = 1
t->Infinity
