how about me hosting a sync server on my debian box? and you hosting one on your gentoo box? and somoene else hosting theirs on a fedora box and we can all keep up with out own data, but still be able to sync/backup/restore without a hitch?
you know, as much as id *like* an eee or wind, i came to the same conclusion, due to my personal budget limits.
if i had the money to afford a good destkop at home AND get a netbook, i love to, but ill be pushing it to upgrade from my T40, which is really showing its age, so if i have just one machine, itll be a core 2 duo 14" lappy for sure
so is google. im not against people looking for help, but i would think ask slashdot could limit itself to unusual problems. ssh/x forwarding/screen is pretty elementary stuff.
what a ridiculous thing to put on the front page. any number of forums or HOWTOs probably provide all the information the submitter is looking for, so id like him to read this.it looks long, but its a quick read.
Indeed, but does anyone have a good idea (better yet: a proven one) that can change the society and culture in an area to bring down crime and violence?
in synaptic or ubuntu's add/remove you can type in a keyword to search through the software. ive found it to be handy enough for the oddball moment when i want something and dont know which package to use, though thats pretty rare lately.
reminds me of an arrested devlopment bit for some reason
Michael: Is this about the money?
Gob: No.
Michael: What do you want?
Gob: I mean, it's not about money in the sense that I'm coming here saying, "Here, Michael. Take some money." It's just more of a "may I have some" kind of visit.
im going to a community college for a network tech associates degree. the guy who teaches a majority of the computer classes has got a serious hard-on for vista and OS x.
he cant get the school to buy macs, but hes sure as hell pitching for vista licenses and i just found out the "windows user" class i have to take (ick) is going to use vista, despite regular news that almost no one wants to have the damn OS in the first place.
several customers recycle the hangers, usually it takes work to sort through them and pick out the ones that are worth keeping (ill say ~%70 are worth keeping, of 200 or 300 that are turned in each month)
we offer discounts so that no customer has to pay the full price.punch-cards, law enforcement/military discount, state employee, senior citizen, so i dont think hed opt for offering another discount.
my dad owns a drycleaning plant. steel hangers are one of his biggest supply expenses now. a few years ago a hanger might have been $0.10 or so, then 2 or 3 years ago it doubled overnight to $0.20, and a few weeks ago *that* doubled.
some of the larger hangers are 50 cents each. 50 cents for a metal coat hanger. he needs several hundred of these in a given week, nevermind the price of all the other supplies going up. it hurts, bad, and he has had to raise prices because of it (though not enough to actually cover the added cost)
thinkpads hold their value like a honda accord. i have a T40 that i *love* and have about $450 in over the last 18 months.
1 gig ram: $50 802.11g adapter: $20
i want to put a dothan CPU in it, since im broke and its about all i can do:( it would be $40 - $50 for a 1.7 or 1.8ghz dothan mobile. i think its rape, but theyre a bitch to find
i *need* a new battery. i dont care about the hard drive, i have an old tower that holds my data. batteries are expensive:(
i dont want to do more incremental upgrades and have $600 spent on the damn thing, honestly, but im broke as hell:(/it makes me so, so sad
Ive been using the feature for a while so set aside one of my 3 discs for my kids. i sure as hell wont get another account...and since it just subdivides an existing account, i have a hard time seeing how the maintenance or anything else could be that much of a problem. meh, ill keep netflix, i used it for a long time without having the profiles to start with, theyre just damn handy.
...That means I have to keep my phone in my pocket, which means that I need the keys covered. It has to be a flip or a slider. I have a kyocera strobe. My timing on cell phones is awful. Long story short the only option i had last time i got a phone was US cellular. They didnt have the MotoQ yet, i couldnt afford the blackberry phones that they carried, and the strobe was the only thing I *could* afford with a qwerty keyboard. I text *a lot*
I know some people dont get why, nevermind that. This phone flips open to reveal a keyboard (its a thick, ugly phone, to be honest) and the keys on the face outside are quite small, so its nice to lock the keypad...
but I dont. It has a "quick menu" that doesnt let you access a number of features that would be nice to have "quickly." I can edit the meny to allow me to quickly change useless things like my wallpaper and ringtones, set an alarm clock, and change color themes: i cant imagine why anyone would want to do this so often that they allowed it to be on a shortcut menu.
I can also view my scheduler, change my ringer (lights, vibe, ring) send a text and get the calculator. All relatively handy stuff.
Other options are 2 button presses away anyway, so im not sure why theyre available. I CAN NOT use the flashlight or lock the keypad without several keypresses, and its fucking idiotic.
Of course, kyocera has nicer phones now with a slide-out qwerty keyboard, but that doesnt do me a damn bit of good right now:-/
Add in airplanes when it comes to reliance on cheap fuel, as well. I read an article at the International Herald Tribune about airlines making aircraft lighter in every way they can think of (from lighter equipment inside to more frequent cleanings) in order to save money on fuel, which is certainly not something anyone gave a damn about 5 years ago.

hell, if you search google, wikipedia articles are often in the top 10 anyway.
theres only one isp in a town of 100k?
sounds like you need to read up and start the second one ;)
now we can wash off the rovers?

latitudes have a trackpoint and a touchpad.
a family friend of ours stole satellite tv by the same logic: the radio waves are out there, and as far as hes concerned, any such thing is fair game.

srsly. using the address bar now is a hassle.
I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter
Just kidding, FBI. Nothing to see here...

dont they already reject a lot of cases from appeals in the first place?
