Not only that, but telemarketers pay good too, so there are plenty of employees to work through. I worked for 3 hours for a telemarketer (calling for PBA) just calling to confirm orders and I was getting twice minimum wage. That was fantastic, considering it was $7 an hour, in the late 80s, and in a college town with 60,000 students wanting part time jobs.
Print it out, snail-mail it to yourself, with some marking on the outside that will allow you to identify it as project #42 revision 6.9 or whatever. Should the need arise, hand it to the judge un-opened.
You can also setup a fake printer under samba. Send it postscript information, and it will write out to a ps file then use ps2pdf on it. Works great. Use any PS printer driver (color of course if you want color pdfs) and install it. When you print, it can output the resulting file into a share somewhere the user can access. Really creative scripting can get it to be either emailed to the user who printed it...
Thats the nice thing about digital. If you can get a digital camera that behaves just like a film SLR, you can shoot hundreds of photos for no cost, other than your inital hardware and electricity, etc. to run the computer.
Tricky thing is getting a decent digital at a sensible price relative to a $200 investment at a pawn shop and tons of black and white processing.
I've been saying this for a few years, but never before has hardware that is 5+ years old still able to run todays operating systems as well as they do. Anyone else try running Win 3.0 on a 286 with 1mb ram "back in the day"?
You can always edit/etc/passwd and change it from bash back to tcsh. Or maybe chsh works in OS X? As far as alaises, etc. go there is tons of help on the web, and of course you could always "man bash".
Yeah, but wouldn't it be fun to/. a phone? I can imagine some poor geek walking down the hallway, and suddenly his phone explodes in his pockey 'cause someone put up a link to it labeled as "Quake4 test" or something...
I'm thinking that LAMP setups with properly designed web interfaces would be the obvious choice to replace Access as a small (a few tables, etc. - nothing massive) desktop/small office DB. Even WAMP would work well, but it would certainly cost more. It would probaly take a little more skill to setup and write than an equivalent Access DB "app", but the long term payoff would certainly be worth it.
I've been looking for a way to browse the song collections for sale without downloading and installing the software... if they have enough of what I'm interested in, I'll consider installing Windows again...
My choices until last month were either sub-28.8 modem, 2 way satellite (slow at 128k, high pings), carrier pigeons, isdn or something called "switched 56". They were all either too expensive or unsuited for my needs (online gaming, large iso downloads of Slackware, etc.) so I stuck with my sub-28.8 modem. Then suddenly I was able to get DSL without moving. Seems some drunk guy hit the Big Box down the road that provided my phone line connection, and they replaced it with a DSL capable box.
Personally I'd call up the WISP that you mentioned, and see if you can get some test gear to be sure you will get a connection, etc. at your location. If it works, they will have a new customer. Good luck!

How long until one of them gets a nose full of something besides a smell?

Hey, Gilbert Gottfried needs work too...
I guess IBM didn't want to show them their IP without a crippling NDA, so this is their next best attempt.
Slack 8.1 works for me on a 486 laptop with 4mb ram... check the 4mb Laptop Howto for some good hints on making it better.

Remember, "make oldconfig" is your friend. It may be in /boot, on the install cd, or actually in the source tree at /usr/src/linux/.config

And as a parent, I find this very very bad. Like others have posted, there are many other better uses for the money than tracking my kid around...
If whatever school my 2 end up at uses this, you can bet I'll be trying to help 'em get around it.
here on /. recently there was an article about a device that would stream tv via broadband between a person's home and a different location.
my userContent.css file blocks most of these as well... still hunting for a good way to block flash ads...
..../foo.slt/chrome/userContent.css :
/* disable ad iframes */ /* turning some false positives back off */
Anyway, something like the following in
A:link[HREF*="ad."] IMG { display: none ! important }

True, but I'm sure at some point down the road they will have a installer that will give you all the individual components at once...
Sure, we can read /., dilbert and userfriendly to get the same instructions
You forgot the BOFH
If you noticed, I did ask if there was a chsh in OSX....
You can always edit /etc/passwd and change it from bash back to tcsh. Or maybe chsh works in OS X? As far as alaises, etc. go there is tons of help on the web, and of course you could always "man bash".
Isn't HIPPA supposed to protect us from this type of thing?

Yup. Thats how we got Blaster and variants - repeatedly.

Yeah, but classic quake is even better at 1600x1200 and 100+ frames/sec in GL mode!
