RIAA: Cds are overpriced and add nothing of value to anything. Piracy is as good as th real thing.
MPAA: DVDs are more reasonably priced, but still overpriced for all but the best movies. I have 10x more downloaded movies than i have DVDs, but i still buy some DVDs. Piracy is as good for most movies, but not all.
Books: Books are cheap and in an easy to use format. PDFs are not.eBook readers are not as good as dead tree books. Piracy sucks by comparison.
Linux: Read sticker. make menuconfig find device and select it. make kernel. turn off computer. put in card. turn on computer. Not really that bad, imo. I think linux handles hardware better than windows just b/c it comes with all the drivers in/usr/src and no annoying hardware installers install lots of shitty, junk software.
Build a gentoo or LFS system on a bigger system and copy th complete system over to the lappy. Btw, try finding a 2.0 or 2.2 kernel to see if it goes any faster. Remember software form the era of your laptop will run a lot better then moder software.
You do not need to reinstall. Gentoo version numbers only refer to the install CD. emerge -u world and you'll be in the same place you would be with a 1.4_final install.
/. is not the place to go for legal advice. A lawyer is. If you listen to/. you're gonna be following the advice of people who are just talking out of their ass and get in trouble.
I can see future Ask/.s: I got charged with DUI. What do i do? I got arrested for murder. How can i get off without having to pay for an expensive defense? I plan to rob a bank. Any tips?
Is this still going to be only for low-end x86 servers/workstations, or is Sun gonna make linux an option for big iron that traditionally runs Solaris?

Have you actually used an NIC? They're terrible. Good idea, but terrible implementation. That's why they went under.

What killed the ThinkNIC anyway?
Poor implementation. The hardware was too slow, The interface too poorly designed, and the hardware too unreliable. We had some at my camp this summer. 2 of the 6 broke. The others had a very unsatisfactory user experiance. However, i bet a decent implementation of the idea (hopefully what these are, but i don't know) would be useful in some areas.
At my camp, they provided NICs for staff to use for email/web surfing. They seem like a good idea for thos e kind of appications. Except NICs sucked. First the hardware was way too slow. It took forever to do anything. Second, and most important, they kept dying. Some vidcard bug or something. And third, the crippled version of netscape 4 is a little out of date. And the mice never worked right. But a decent version of this would be nice. The os on a CD means it won't get corrupted and people won't fill up the com with junk. I hope these are decent as there's a good cance the camp'll but these to replace the dead NICs.
So if i donate organs to organ donors, my organs will be redonated upon the recipiant's death. That's awesome. My spleen might live for 300 years in 15 differnt bodies with this program.
Not really. I tried to buy a crt recently and CompUSA has nothing but shitty ones. They all look like they've been sitting on the shelf for at least a year and some look affirmatavely broken. I had to get one off ebay since i thionk it's stupid to pay a lot to get a high-end lcd that looks no worse than a pretty normal crt.

Try gentoo. The gentoo community is very good about being nice too newbies and people with questions. That is on of the reasone i like gentoo so much.

some do. An aircraft carrier running win2k crashed a while back and had to be towed back to port.

ask for help in forums.gentoo.org if you have installation trouble. I'm sure we could have gotten you up and running easily.
