The only thing I need to know, how did they fit either the IHole or IPole technology into a 1" thick laptop? Even the average/.er has to be bigger than that... right?
Hmmm, Chemistry Set request...

Sure, just call up the Air Force, they'll even provide chemistry demonstrations at your location for you...
(Alternately, just go to Bagdad, a demonstration will arrive shortly)
Isn't it about time we stop getting giddy about each win that Linux gets. So 2500 stores worth of cash registers are switching to Linux from another Unix... whoopie.
Linux shines as a server and as a backend for programs like cash registers or inventory. But why should anyone get excited about cash registers?
You want post some exciting Linux news, get a major company or government office to ditch windows and Office and move to Linux with AbiWord or KOffice. Or get a publishing firm to ditch Macs and Photoshop and get them to fireup RedHat with Gimp:)
Linux can win the server battles. But the gain just isn't there on the desktop. Don't believe me, check out google's Zietgeist. Only 1% of google users run Linux (and only 4% run Mac for those zealots). Those are the facts, Windows rules the desktop. Go win the desktops at major businesses or organizations and suddenly we have news. Till then, its not news.
