my experience this weekend 1. buy $30 retailplus wireless usb dongle with zd1211 chipset 2. install ubuntu7.04 (or fedora core 7 worked same way) 3. install zd1211 driver module by checking it off in Synaptic Installer 4. install updates by saying yes to update manager 5. reboot 6. bliss
Component cables are the same as stereo RCA cables from 25 years ago (I'm guessing on that age). It is the data being transmitted that makes it component. (ie: don't waste your $125 on "component" cables)
Here is what canadian shaw basic analog cable looks like on a TV with a good resolution scalar. I called shaw, and they did not know the resolution off hand.. it is like 330x262 interlaced to 330x525 or something. There is no motion artifacts, clayface, pixelation, strobing going on. As a matter of fact, using a geforce2mx and 640x480 and in Zoom mode, YouTube looks very good on this TV. On a twice as inexpensive acer 32" HD LCD everything very unwatchable, even DVD's. Sony might be evil and there are lots of TVs with good scalers, but this is two years old already, and it was money well spent. Sony 32"..XBR1 LCD with wega engine=scaling processor.
Exactly. And if he is born in December and you get to choose whether to send him to nursory school at age 4 or age 5, pick 5. An extra year or bliss is the best gift you could offer.
Based on how I felt when I was a programmer for an engineering office, I would say Theo is embarrased and wanted to cover his arse and is mad at the person who spoke the truth. I used to pretend to the managers that my program was perfect, and the users were so happy with it, that they would praise it and I was happy. Then when a bug came up, I would always keep it quiet and patch it right away. I never wanted it to get to the managers.
I've never heard of you before, but have broadcom wireless in my HP laptops. You forgot to say in that thread, that we stole the linux code and are sorry and will not use it anymore. Duh. This won't get me to ever look at OpenBSD now that is for sure.
Offtopic, my friend landed his helicopter on a lighthouse in England, and burned us a DVD of the video. He sent us it, and my stupid Sony DVD player refused to play it here in Canada. Not due to PAL, but it said Region Error. I thought we were a colony?
Woo! Hoo!.. All the buttons I tested worked. The volume, mute, play, internet, email... all worked on Dapper Drake. I wish they had noted that on the outside of the box.
Holy crow, thank for posting that! I just hit my volume up button (Ubuntu 6.10) and it worked. I always hated the idea of installing drivers for keyboard, so in windows live without them.
Ok guys, honestly, I've not seen an XP system that was flakey due to sound drivers once, and I build and repair peoples boxen since win95 was out. I love my linux but come on.
They probably did--that's probably why they are confident that it would work on there. They just don't want to actually claim success since it was done illegally
From reading and watching old movies, I got the impression that you were not to accuse people of things unless you could prove it, lest you wreck their reputation, etc.
Personally, I think anybody who needs the government to trick them into getting up early is a moron, but morons' opinions may differ...
OK, but some people work and can't pick their office hours. If you are outside in the morning, you are working. If you are outside in the evening, you are BBQ'ing. So, you deserve the light in the evening.
The Egyptions did not sit around all day staring at their computers. They stared at rocks. Chances are if you can make a complex computer program, they could make a complex pile of rocks. Brains haven't evolved much since they got complex. ie) they were like us. No aliens required.
Then you can see in detail what he is talking about. The animations work in linux with firefox and no plugins here. It looks like a way to pile rocks into a pyramid using brain power and not much else. Wonderful. I bet it might be right. No concrete required.

For anyone with no windows experience, you can reinstall it to a blank hardrive (that it came on originally) and use the windows key code on the sticker on the back of the Dell to reinstall it and update it with windows update. You need an OEM cd though and that did not come with the computer. What did come with it, is the ability to back the hardrive up to several dvd's. Consider that, and document what hardrive it was because that is needed. Annoyingly, restoring from those dvd's will hose any dual boots you had going.

Geek, get a better computer. They are stable these days. So is linux, so is XP. Maybe try underclocking instead. Perhaps its you have mis-matched ram.
oh yeah, the laptop had no working wired card due to borken...
step -1: plug usb printer-style cable from cable modem to usb port
step 0: get online for updates and even while installing from cd!!
who knew that usb port on my cable modem was for anything?
my experience this weekend
1. buy $30 retailplus wireless usb dongle with zd1211 chipset
2. install ubuntu7.04 (or fedora core 7 worked same way)
3. install zd1211 driver module by checking it off in Synaptic Installer
4. install updates by saying yes to update manager

Dear Theo:
I've never heard of you before, but have broadcom wireless in my HP laptops. You forgot to say in that thread, that we stole the linux code and are sorry and will not use it anymore. Duh. This won't get me to ever look at OpenBSD now that is for sure.
2) Burn a CD/DVD...
Won't the Sony RootKit prevent that?
Offtopic, my friend landed his helicopter on a lighthouse in England, and burned us a DVD of the video. He sent us it, and my stupid Sony DVD player refused to play it here in Canada. Not due to PAL, but it said Region Error. I thought we were a colony?
speaking of Dapper Drake, my orthdontist gives me rubber bands labeled "sail boat" and "skateboard" and I say you mean 3.5 mm and 5.0 mm?
Woo! Hoo!.. All the buttons I tested worked. The volume, mute, play, internet, email... all worked on Dapper Drake. I wish they had noted that on the outside of the box.

Sorry, I live in a mall.
How can the USA even consider such a communist idea? Why not just set everything free and let the central government decided who gets what?
"Can you give me a good reason we should prop up an obsolete business model besides nostalgia or personal preference?"
1. A semi-trailer with 10000 boxes costs less pollution to ship than 10000 separate courrier shipments. There is no contest.

"the NYPD did nothing legally or morally wrong."
Like if they got into your house undercover and then arrested you for something.

There is no way a grade 2 student did this. They can barely read.
