GoBook MAX enables operators to safely work in HazMat environments; on flightlines, near hazardous chemicals or explosive materials.
I don't see why you typical Dell Laptop can't be near HAZMAT enviroments.
Now what happens when the explosive materials explode? Is the computer going to still work after that? And besides, even if the computer does survive, There is going to be no one around to opperate it.
While I do Agree with you, you have to remember, that not everyone talks the same. I think that it is a great idea to be able to type/speak those commands, although setting it for the "english" language would not be very pratical. There are several different distro's of Linux, the same way there are several different forms of speaking engligh. I am surrounded by people talking poor english (not their native lang.) and people talking in "ebonics" all day long. While the computer would ajust to each individual, it would take a while, and people, regardless of their backround don't want to make it work, or put the time in to it. A typical user it should "just" work.
Here is a great example: I work at a 1600 attorney law firm in their GIS. We are in the proccess of a Migration from 95 to XP and the helpdesk is using The new Remote assistance program included with XP. They used to use a application called "Proxy" (don't ask, i don't know why it was called that). Proxy was a instantious connection, providing control and a screen view of the users computer. Now, On XP, the Remote assistance creates a multiuser mode and actually logs the help desk tech on the computer in a second session, and it takes about 30 seconds to one min to initate. On the day that i filled in on the helpdesk, all the users did was complain about how the "New system is so much slower, I though that it was going to be faster"
Point: They are not willing to take the time to learn about it, and or configure it, and let it start working for them. "the system SHOULD work out of the box for the typical user. Lastly- a (most/average) user would rather click on something then type something, cause it is "easier" and requires less thought. A engineer on the other hand, will learn the command, and that will work better for them in the first place.
To edit the 2k XP boxes, you need to make changes to he users profile that is logining in. On a side note, another thing that can be done, with out having to reinstall, would be to create a new user- and that creates a new profile, and that is what is loaded.
Recmendations for 2k/XP performance: Keep large files out of the profile (i.e. off the desktop, or the my doc's folder (and any folder herein)
the smaller the profile the faster it loads.
In windows, you seem to have to periodically re-install everything just to get your system to load in a reasonable amount of time.
While you are correct with that comment for the average user, One thing to note, is that MOST of the Windows users are VERY incapable of understanding what they are installing, and the program/application makers are installing items that are not required for the application to run correctly. (i.e. Quickbooks, installs the qbtask.exe (i think that is what it is called) that runs at startup. I don't need this if i am just going to play games. yet, it takes up almost 10 mb of RAM based on Task Manager)
You don't have to deal with the long load time, IF you actaully read what is being installed on the box, most programs install other items and task bar items as well, which all have to load, and start running at boot. (also consuming valueable system resources)
When done right, a windows installation can last for several years, IF (big F-n IF) the user reads what they are installing, chooses not to install items that run at start up, and if possable, moves the install files from the OS drive to a second physical drive (which are becomming more and more apparent in home computers.) (office computers should be used only for Work related issues, and should NEVER have this problem because they should be "professionally" controled and users should not be allowed to install ANYTHING not work related on it.
I guess getting wedd to a attorney is not that bad, that is if it was a bad relationship to begin with and you don't want to see the (other) in the first place. Just rep the rewards of having a mad loot.

Borrowing ROMs

But who is going to stop the End user from Copying the downloaded ROM?
Sure, I will borrow it...
But we all borrow our friends CD's and now have a copy of them. Who is going to stop someone from "borrowing" a COPY of a item, and just keeping a copy on thier box.
When you get down to it, it is a copy of the item in the first place- They are not going to delete and create the file every time, so they are just sending a copy.
It won't Work, and they are going to end up in a simmilar situtation as Napster.
Well i am excited, I get my car back this evening (ignition broke, had to be special ordered from Germany) And I am going driving! Maybe all bring the laptop and some chalk, and a pair of handcuff keys to keep, when i get busted sitting in the alley for probing and scanning. Woohoo, a few days off of work.. I love DC!!
I have had never a bad experance with O'Reilly books. While they might be a dry cover to cover read, the infomation in the titles that I have referanced has been accurate, and indepth.
While this is true, even high bit-rate video/web cast are still less then 5 Mbps or 5% of a standard 100base-T connection. 1000Base-T will not really (IMHO) make much of a difference- in things like VoIP and streaming video.
If the network Switches and routers are connected to eachother with gigabit, and the users are connected with 155mbps ATM, The only current (non file sharing) benifant of 1000base-T is future demands and the possibilty of coders and hackers (not crackers) developing new utilitys, tools and p2p, video etc.
Hurry, someone set up a local store to sell hard drives. You are going to have a run all year long on the largest capasity drives currently avail.
Just an idea, but who is to stop them from shipping the HD's else where with say 80 gig's of MP3's or Warez. I could see that turning in to a very luctritive thing to do.
Wait that would be lucritive now even on 1.5 cable connections- download all sorts of nonsence- sell the drive for 30-50 more then you paid for it. Interesting....
That is hotT... i hope that no one was war driving near you....
Gaming on a wireless network in a car... i like it
Next's weeks regional newspaper add
Circuit kitty to offer wireless network option for cars- kids and parrents can watch movies share files and play games (laptops not must be purchased seperatly)
This would however be a GREAT use for Bluetooth with it's limited range!
It simply boggles the mind how these fucktards running our country can make a law for every single thing in existence in the world, covering the same crime by 50 or 60 different laws...
Actually, there is a reason for having several laws for the same crime. A good friend of mine is a former cop and he explained it to me.
DUI- you get ticketed for: DWI, DUI, and anything else that you can be ticketed for. (reasons that you were pulled over in the first place)
This is done because the majority of these charges are thrown out in court for one reason or another (read:technicalities) and if you have enough against you, you most likly will not get completly off on technicalities and it has not been a waste of time for the officer, judge, court system etc.
If he is constantly travelling at or approaching terminal Velocity, I don't see how this would affect the parachute. Higher in the atmosphere, the chute would have less resistance and *should* be under less load/resistance at the same point in the atmosphere. i.e. If his terminal volocity is faster, then the chutes terminal velocity *should* be equally (Read: proportionally) higher as well.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I belive that this makes sence.

I have BSOD'd several times, and most of the time it is because of an ATI driver- Shocking huh.

Intesting- Maybe there is still a use for the USPS. They can finally stop raising the price of stamps.
