I prefer the adblock extention. I can use the * wild card to block everything from a domain if I want. Great for annoying "floaters", swf files, or banners.
I use this feature while traveling, specifically while in an airport, rather than paying the high fees for the concourse wireless service. I get reasonable speed with my Sanyo 4900 (~3X 56K Modem speeds).
I couldn't even get it to compile (nucleo-0.1 that is). I get a need libpng error on the png_sig_cmp test with configure. I am running Mandrake 9.1 and I have the latest libpng rpms installed. Yes, I have the devel rpms installed as well. Any help would be appreciated.

See if you can find an old Cross Pad. I have had good luck with these pads in the past while taking notes in meetings. It is nice to have a digital and a paper copy. The handwriting recog. actually works too. They were discontinued in April 2001, so check ebay.
Here is the statement that Madrake released to clarify the situation:
A controversy has erupted today in the Linux community about the upcoming Mandrake Linux 9.2 and advertizing. Although the overall reaction from the community is mostly positive, a few people don't seem to be happy about having advertizing in Mandrake 9.2.
We'd like to explain briefly why we have done this and why you shouldn't worry.
0) There won't be any ad in the screensavers in Mandrake 9.2
There will be one paid-ad in the installation procedure, and a few paid-links in bookmarks.
1) Ads are selected and won't be intrusive.
Our advertizing plan is only offered to MandrakeSoft partners - we select only ads that make sense as complementary Linux solutions. Additionally, ads won't be intrusive (no pop-up windows) and can be removed easily.
2) There have been ads in Mandrake Linux for years.
Maybe you didn't notice it, but in the installation procedure and in browser's bookmarks, there have been many links to Mandrake products, the GNU project, many Open Source projects and so on. In Mandrake 9.1 there was the first "commercial" link to a technical book content provider. Nobody was annoyed, we didn't get any feedback about that.
3) Free Software and business model.
As we are firmly committed to Open Source/Free Software, we want to keep on exploring business models that are compatible with this spirit.
I agree. And if I remember correctly, when/if the broadcast companies switch to HD broadcasting only, they will be able to broadcast 6 HD channels with the bandwidth of the Analog channel right?
I went to Vanderbilt and I am now a grad student there. The cap is actually in the area of 1GB, but I think they monitor the common p2p software ports, and they limit those (Internet 2 transfer does not count if I remember correctly). If you exceed the limit you are placed on the "slow line".
My thoughts exactly. How do you flash with out a floppy? I understand some boards can use the USB memstick, but the question is will Dell's support flashing with a USB memory stick. Is is possible to flash from an image burned to a CD?
I just tried to compile them on my Inspiron 8100 and after X started the whole thing locked up, no keyboard control, no ssh access, nothing. I switched back to the 3xxx version that was working earlier today.
Liquid Helium is, if I remember correctly about 4 Kelvin. At this temperature, the CPU would not function due to the fact that the carriers would freeze up, frozen carriers = no charge movement = no function.
Mwave.com is the place to shop. I just got a new computer from mwave.com and I have bought most of my past components there. They have good prices and are willing to take returns. You can setup a custom box online, chosing your own components, and they will build it for you. Some times you can even get them to drop the assembly fee ($75). If they build it, you get a 1 year warrantee. And best of all, no MS tax!

It looks like the XFree86 bug is still in the code. A search for XFree86 returns a warning about adult content.

I spent way too many hours playing that game.
Enough said. That game was one of the best.

For that much money and weight, I would rather have a 17" Power Book.
