Works for me... using umass and all uhci, ohci and ehci. I can probably remove some of those, but I don't really know what I'm doing;) My thumbdrive clocks in at 40Mbps; seems a tad underpar, but before 5.4, it was 1Mbps, so I'm easy!
Let's just hope I can get X to work properly with the CLE266...
Actually, although I cringe at supporting the beast;) I don't think Metro is such a bad name...
Let us examine the etymology a little closer. By the way, I'm not an expert: I just have a lot of time on my hands!
Now metro comes from metr-, and the Greek: either metr-, meter (i.e. mother); or metron (i.e. measure). I think, in this case, metron is more appropriate. Think about all those things in a document that are measured: font metrics, line spacing, page size, etc., etc.
The metro of which you speak, that is a subway train, comes from the French, métropolitan. It doesn't take much imagination to associate this with our word, metropolitan. This, again, comes from the Greek; but this time it's meter (mother). Metropolis literally means "mother city"; mother being, rather than a romantic metaphor, a synonym for "capital".
Of course, what is conjured up when one says "metro"? To me, things to do with city life; all things, not necessarily just the centralised transport system! I'm thinking, in particular, offices and clerical-type work. All the sorts of things where documents are used.
From the screenshots I've seen, I wouldn't say it was there to even look "pretty"... I think of it as some ugly, inbred hick, dolled-up to the eye balls with make-up and botox, trying vainly to stand out in the crowd;)
Yep, there are loads of cheap gateway numbers in the UK... I don't know exactly how they make their money, but who cares!?
I use SuperDial, who provide an auto-dialer so I don't even have to prefix an access number, to dial the US. Standard BT rate is something like 23p/min (about $0.44/min); but my rate is 10% of that, just 2.5p/min... Mmmm:) The only beef I have with it, though, is that it cuts out after two hours. It just takes a redial, so no biggie;)
...I've had a lot of trouble with it (hardware and software) however Element have *great* customer support. When I tried upgrading to their new distro, guess what: it didn't work! Well, I got in touch with them, by e-mail, and within a day I had a working machine again (they put some special isos up for me:)
Having said that, after using Linux for about four months or so: I don't like it. Flame me if you will but I just prefer FreeBSD, so that's going on there (I'm already in the process of modding my case).
Anyway, my point has nothing to do with Element, nor BSD advocacy. A friend of mine also has a tablet PC (Windows, I'm afraid) and between us we have *never* used the tablet functionality. I'm just wondering, does anyone? Or do people just buy laptops with spinning screens just because they're novel and a cool gadget (like me;)
Ooh, strong in you the dark side is. A true Jedi, this empire must resist. In X-Wings and Chewbaccas we measure, yes. Two Ewoks there are to a death star; but seven Amidalas be there to the dark lord Sith.
Inches and pints lead to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to the dark side.
I don't know about that, but how about adding *inches* using our special herbal patch and anti-gravity moon boots (pat. pending). Yours for only $99.95!
IIRC.co.uk domains can only be registered in two year blocks. When the time is up, you pay up for another two years (this I'm not quite sure about), or you loose your domain.
...in the latest episode, "Second Renaissance II", we plucky humans drop nuclear weapons on "Zero One"; however, the machines survive as they aren't prone to the effects of radiation.
Be that as it may, but nukes tend to throw out a lot of heat; but even still, this is not my point... AFAIK they also emit a massive EMP discharge, which
Over here, in England (and I guess the rest of Europe), Cartoon Network did exactly that: they call it CNX. It has the complete ToonAmi line-up, and then some; all the Adult Swim stuff (although it was never called that over here); and a load of other stuff that suits its (I hate to say this) key-demo' perfectly (somewhat questionable asian action B-movies, that Swimsuit Edition thing, etc...)
Methinks, in Windows at least, "Alt Gr" is "Ctrl+Alt"... you use it to access the extended keyboard. e.g. to write an "é" you can either press "Ctrl+Alt+e" or "Alt Gr+e" (or find it in character map;)...That is if your extended keyboard is setup so that e maps to the acute e; I think this is the default, don't ask me how you change it!

Does that mean, as a potential maths teacher, I'm statistically most likely to have hermaphrodite children? That's not good!...

Mmmm, cocoadaemons...
Kraft-Suchard chocolate, Milka included, is mass-manufactured and *full* of sugar. It appeals to the masses, but it's not "very good".
That is all.
Hmm... Cool idea: I might try that!
British Rail? Didn't you guys split up?
[In a bad Russian accent] HA! Dat's vat ve vanted you to believe... [Presses a small button on the desk]
* Virgin Rail rolling stock suddenly become Intercity 125s
* Trians run slightly closer to "on time"
* Zombie Isambard Kingdom Brunel: "Grrr... Must. Crush. Privatisation!"

Mmmm... 8-bit photon mapping! How about some true colour!?
+n Flamebait, for suitably large $n\in\mathbb{N}$
That's over a fortnight too late... May the 4th be with you.
...either that, or it drove through a tunnel.
Ooh, that'll be tasteful... How about one that looks like a plastic flamingo or a hula-girl with chest mounted USB ports? Sophistication abound!
One thing's for certain, rather than that Enya or Annie Lennox rubbish, Spo^H^H^HLeonard Nimoy's masterpiece should be used for the closing credits.
I've never used it, just know of its existence (shareware)
