Check out Heat from Front Range. It has a web interface or Windows client. Works well and has asset tracking. You can also integrate their contact management system, GoldMine.
I know mine uses SpeedStep...but ever see the benchmarks on a Transmeta? I'm sure mine is faster even clocked down than the Transmeta chip. If I was really crunching numbers hard I'd plug it in.
Transmeta just didn't give a big enough difference to matter. I'm on my Thinkpad T23 right now and it gives me over 4 hours of battery life doing normal work with no extra power management running. I don't spin the drives down, dim the screen, or any of that. All while using the wireless NIC built in. It would do even better if I used the power management options.
That's very good for most people since this is a "normal" notebook with a fast CPU (P3 1.13), plenty of RAM, big disk (48GB), nice screen (1400x1050), and a DVD/CD-RW.
No, S-vid doesn't do HD. When I say antenna I mean HD over the air, not normal crappy antenna signal. Most people get HD content via antenna, but Time Warner carries it in some markets via digital cable. It's much easier than dealing with the antenna and I don't need to buy the $500 receiver box to sit between the TV and antenna.
Most Easter Eggs are things people might stumble upon...but appending words and parameters on to URLs isn't something I would find. How do you expect anyone except yourself to see these?
Because they base their pricing on "average use". You giving away your connection is not "average use" and you against your contract. Want to give away your connection? Go buy a T-1 with no usage clause like that. What? It costs a lot more? Sure does.
At least there is one addition this year. Last LinuxWorld I was at was terrible. Was half the previous size and the remaining companies were just holding on.
I was replying to the first post about using BGP... But, it would be nice to have it if you were balancing cable and DSL...but you'd never get it from those providors.
Good luck geting BGP info from your cable modem providor.
A machine running load balancing software is still hardware that must be managed. I like a small router with no moving parts over something with a hard drive that makes noise and heat.
I use dvdovernight.com. I sometimes get real busy and wouldn't rent enough to make NetFlix worth it. The dvdovernight rentals end up being $3.50/each, after you get the 8th one free. They also have an Adult section, if you want to rent those.
I haven't had a problem receiving DVDs or sending them back. Though, I'm not sure why they are called dvdovernight when they aren't sent overnight.
Before I took over this network there were no home directories and no workstation backup. Since then I've implemented home dirs with quotas. But, most users still won't use them. I send out reminders occasionally.
The only people that use them are people data important enough that they know they'll get in a LOT of trouble should it go away, and people that have lost data before. The average person still doesn't save their documents and data until something bad happens. I've done all I can do, the rest is up to them. They aren't children and we've explained the risks. I've had Directors lose very critical data and my boss and the CIO have always said "Too bad, you told everyone where to put the data to be backed up. Their own fault.".
Some of the Norwegian cruise line boats have Internet access. We did the New Years 2K cruise on their new Norwegian Sky boat. You could dial-out from the rooms (sloooow) or they had an Internet cafe type setup. The cafe wasn't bad and it was more than enough to check web mail and things.
This is exactly why these P2P apps are banned at my office....that and the illegality of most of the downloads. It's just too big of a risk for a user to share out their whole drive with all sorts of documents on it.

Anyone have automatic setup for wireless NICs yet? I want to put Linux on my T23 Thinkpad but I don't want to deal with setting that up.

You can build one, but not using component input. They take Antenna inputs and do the channel switching on the card.
My cable box does the channel switching and just outputs component to my TV.
I hope they do a box with DVR and HD. I love my High Def cable box, much easier than an antenna, but I miss not being able to use my TiVo with it.
I can't build a box either. No one makes an HDTV PC card with a component INPUT, they are all Antenna input.
The local Apple store won't get the new iPods for PC until next month. Anyone know the lead time to get one directly from Apple's Web Store?
He can't spell MCSE either.
GTA3 is such a GREAT game. I should go play...hmmm...

For LCD panels to talk straight digital.

Pretty soon they'll be holding it at the VFW...

You can buy the hardware from anywhere. They'll happily sell you a support contract for it. They aren't going to refuse your money.
The contract is the same as if you bought the hardware new and tacked on the support.

Everyone needs a TiVo.

These awards aren't live. I read the winners the other day. At least, I'm pretty sure I did on MSNBC's Scoop section.

I have one. The guy sitting next to me does. My parents do. Heck, even my grandparents have one now, though I doubt they watch digital signals on it.
Digital TVs are cheap enough that "normal" people buying TVs are getting them. Go to Best Buy on a weekend and watch them go out the door.
HD is 16:9 and normal TV is 4:3.
