  1. Re:Future Litigation... on Install An Xbox/Linux Media System In Your Car · · Score: 1

    > the new ban prohibits eating, drinking, cel phone use, faxing, and reading while using your car.

    So drivers there can't read mmm... speed limit panels? that's great! :P

    What should be banned is TALKING to the driver... in particular cars! It's soooooo annoying

    > They use established lithographic techniques to get rid of tubes that are pointing in the wrong direction by zapping them with an electron beam. That leaves only those that are hanging down towards the opposite wafer.

    So amount of storage capacity will vary between two Nantero's memory unit of the same model?

    That would a ludopathic component when buying one of these... :P

    1. No way to put a system monitor in the panel


    1. If you only want cpu usage + memory usage + swap usage, try adding an applet called "System Monitor" (panel menu | add | applet). If you need any other info try KSysGuard applet, this one can display from CPU temperature to network data... anything you want. Both come with the standard KDE distrib, one is in kde-addons the other mmm dunno... kde-admin maybe?

  4. Re:load of bull on Cell Phones and Air Safety · · Score: 1

    Now! thats the first sensate reply i have read in this thread

    Some years ago i heard a passenger's GameBoy activated the fire alarm for all 4 engines of an aircraft

    In the VERY unlikely case that's not totally FUD then that plane shouldn't be allowed to even take off anyways! Its equipment is VERY broken!

    The next logical step is banning GameBoys, cellular phones, notebooks, etc.. because these are Weapons of Mass Destruction TM. pfff what a world

  11. Re:I'd pay more for a solid state drive... on Getting Rid of the Disks · · Score: 1

    Need more than that? Mobo already filled with 4G and you need another 4G? RocketDrive DL (www.cenatek.com) : a PCI card with slots for up to 4 1G SDRAMs (PC133) viewed by the system as a drive. Retail price $900 plus the $1500 or so for memory (specifies high quality RAM.) So maybe $2500 total to add 4G to the system, and you can stack them if you want more than 4G via software RAID across multiple adapters (ie. 4 cards would be 16G of SSD for $10,000.)

    PCI bus should be a bottleneck in a system like that no?

    If you want more than 4gb ram, in a PC, wait for 64bit processors.
    AMD will launch their Athlon 64 in september right?

    The SL500's by-wire braking system, the first in a mass-produced car, equips the driver with a more sensitive, computer-assisted response to crises. The usual hydraulically controlled brakes are no longer prime; the brake pedal you push is like a mouse click to a computer.
