What? Not all LiIons are made the same and you are a fool if you think every battery of the same composition has the same bleed rate and memory. A blanket 20% is also crap as memory is affected less by properly draining and charging them. Lithium Ion is the most popular battery because it's the most memory resistant without breaking the bank.
Grandparent isn't a liar. He got a crappy battery, end of story.
There's always a community waiting to help you. If it's an everyday task then more than likely someone has figured out how to do it quickly and easily. I would be more than happy to personally help you out as much as I can with any questions you may have.
All the other posters are correct... you can install it to wherever it feels like, move or copy it to wherever you feel like and link. Hell, you can put core parts of your operating system in different partitions and folders if you like as long as you link em up right. Now let's see a Windows user put their boot loaded on their 2nd parition, their System32 on it's own parition, and user files in a final parition.
Hell, keeping user files out of system areas is already beyond the scope of Window's capabilities. If you think 'control' is a next button that let's you put the least intrusive parts of an end user program in some folder other than the default you're missing the bigger picture.
DMCA, Patriot Act, RIAA/MPAA hijinks, Microsoft and SCO... you're suprised the US is losing its technological edge? Shit man, 51% of Americans voted against stem-cell research 'cause they think it kills babies.
Software installation using any of the package managers above is usually easier than your average software installation in Windows.
Want Gimp? Type 'apt-get install gimp' and it's there. You don't even have to hit a "Next" button... although the typing may scare off most Windows users.
Only if it's better. This article flames the OS-religion zealots and panders to the Microsoft vision. If Solaris releases a superior operating system with a superior license in an easy to use package why the hell wouldn't it kill Linux? The cool thing about most Linux users I know is that they use Linux because it's more stable, more compatible, cheaper, and decently easy to use compared to the other OSes on the market. Linux is the best choice operating system. They aren't using Linux because of some hard-wire neurological damage that forces them to see the world through Micros*cough* Linux colored glasses.
So yes, if Solaris is superior to Linux, is as freely licensed as Linux, is as easy to use as Linux and Linux can't keep up on these levels then sure, Solaris will kill Linux... if those are all true it *should* kill Linux. Until then, the competition between the two should improve both considerably and we'll still be stuck with legions of fools like the author that stick to Windows because "there can be only 1 OS and it's the one I know how to use."
I bought into these for a while. I was a member of Galaxies. Beta member of WoW. Beta member of CoH. SecondLife member. I can't fathom how these people can charge $50+ for the game then an additional $15 a month and people actually pay it. You want to get your product out there... free download then pay the monthly fee.
If I pay $50 for a game that sucks and then after a month it's no use to me, I would feel completely screwed. Give me a free download and a $15 first month... then if it sucks I'm out $15. (and unfortunately, a lot of MMORPGs suck... bad). Better yet, use the SecondLife model. $10 for life and then you only pay for the game resources you use.
I press 'z' or if we're using the remote the blue button... once... No jumping 30 seconds 5 times then back 5 seconds 2 times then wait for the 2 remaining seconds... The only reason we have it set to push a button at all is because commercial detection has a unique problem with Farscape. Jumping is not commercial skipping and it's been around since the series 1 Replay/TiVos. Commercial skip is only in a select few models of Replay and there's a decent chance it may go away as well.
Not meaning to completely hijaack this thread but MythTV supports automatic commercial skip. It'll automagically jump past your commercials or you can skip them with the click of one button. Even 5 seconds is too long in MythTV land:)
True that some ReplayTV series had a similar feature but that's been done away with.
I'm thirding it. MythTV, 200gig, PVR-250 and a GeForce FX with DVI out to a 55" Mitsu. Digital Optical to a Sony reciever. Also have 2 other computers and an XBox that act as front ends throughout the house. Excellent media handling, TV recording, DVD watching and ripping, Weather, News, and web surfing capabilities. Newer versions even do video phone.
Actually, my setup is slightly fubared at the moment. It seems the 6xxx series nVidia drivers dork up the DVI out, no vhold. I'm currently using S-Video until they or I can iron it out.
My wife and I are picture crazy... she more than I but since I'm the geek I get the resposibility of maintaining the archive. Currently, we keep 2 DVD sets (4+ DVDs in a set) in the safe as well as a single DVD set out for general use. A running copy is on the harddrives of 2 seperate computers in the house. Once every 6 months to a year we reburn the general DVD set and one of the sets in the safe and throw the 'old' ones on a junk spindle. She also has a couple dozen photo albums she puts her favorites in but those are for showing off, not for archival.
So far the only disk we have had go bad was one of disks in the safe. Nothing happened to the disk it just wouldn't read. My guess is that something went screwy with the burn even though we burn with verify on.
Each DVD costs about 40 cents so it's about 6 bucks to create the 3 sets. For a grand total of $12 per year we have ~15 gig of photos, along the lines of 9000 photos per set, backed up beyond any reasonably foreseeable disaster (we do intend to move one of the 'safe' sets to a deposit box when we get one). To print each of these images on el'cheapo Wal-Mart Kodak processing would cost 24 cents * 9000 images = $2160.00. A fairly cheap $20 album holds 100 pictures so you're talking another $1800 for albums brining it to about $4000 just to print and store all our photos in the absolute *cheapest* manner possible not to mention the massive storage space. Even if the cheapest printing and the cheapest albums we're archival quality, which they most definitely are not, there's no way you could convince me that my disks in a safe are going to crap out before something happens to the 60 cubic feet of photo albums in the basement.
So, unless you're storing one image that can never be touched, never be copied, never exposed to light or brought out in the open then yes, print and archival and store it in a glass case. For anyone else, buy a $40 DVD spindle and shut the hell up.
Thanks for expressing your concerns... even though we don't give a crap. Unless that treaty involves gay marriage, Christan evangilism, stem cells, or guns it doesn't fall under the term 'morals'. Environment, military, genocide, WMDs, international law, these lie outside the moral sphere of disbelief. Please list you concern in one of the following categories for quicker processing:
Things we can lie about (ie: war, terrorism, economic outlook, new legislation) Things we can ignore (ie: Environment, global opinion and respect, facts, the Constitution) Things we spin in our favor (ie: religious zealots who believe what they are told cause dubbya talks directly to God, any nation with more than 3 troops in Iraq) Things to make us rich (ie: irresponsible tax cuts, no-bid contracts, drilling wherever the hell we feel like it)
Or call back if you have something that threatens the right wing agenda but rest assured we've lulled enough of the country to sleep for your concerns to matter.

You can't copy games to your Gameboy. It's a technical limitation. Valves CD shit is an asshole limitation.

Gee golly gosh, when I want to install Windows XP in 5 years, what if Microsoft is bankrupt? OH NOS!
You smack yourself in the head for considering doing such a thing and then cheer the demise of the great digital devil.
