I actually recomend an agressive inline skating backpack. They are (almost) universally well-built (rugged even) and many have built-in laptop compartments. I have owned several over the years (worked at a skate shop), so I can personally attest to their kick-assness (is that proper grammar).
If you are going to go this route then I recomend you check out the Ground Control bags. They're extremely well built (moreso than most laptop bags), have AMPLE storage space, are very comfortable for extended periods, and DO NOT scream "I HAVE A LAPTOP!" Distant second choice would be a Reign bag.
you know... they are vesa wall-bracket mountable. quick search of google (I'm feeling lucky) brought me to this store. they're are plenty of optins for people who still want this. only now they can move the whole computer around with the same ease that before left them with a bulboub base on their desk. you also know good and well that there will be some pretty/appley wall mounts for this thing soon.
here's how I did it: 1) find screwdriver (preferably big and flat-headed) 2) gently insert it in the space below the CAPS LOCK key. Make sure that the screwdriver is parallel to the keys. 3) Move keyboard to the edge of the desk so that the screwdriver is hanging off several inches. Ensure that the screwdriver stays properly aligned while doing this. 4) Apply generous amounts of downward force on the screwdriver with your hand. I used the "karate-chop" method. The more damage, the better. 5) If you can find the key, then collect it and put it into your recycling bin (the real-life one).
damned my inability to correctly use the previe feature... here's what I ment to say:
so, why does The Matrix (2, or 3) soundtrack cost the same as the DVD? Am I supposed to believe that the music is worth the same as the movie (greater than 100 million USD budget)?
I agree with you on the movie thing... movies are worth about $4/hr, but music? No, it's vastly overpriced, almost reaching extortion levels.
P.S. I will argue that alot of DVDs are too. come on, The Apple Dumpling Gang for $15? Gimme a break Walmart.

how was that a Troll comment? the top pic is of a bunch of people thumb wrestling with their arms making the shape of a swastika. it may not have been funny, but I sure as hell don't think it was a troll either
when I first saw this article (out of the corner of my eye) I thought it was talking about these and I was thinking to myself "now THAT'S 'News For Nerds'"
since a slashdotting is almost inevitable here's the article's text (don't have anywhere to post a mirror right now):
Well, I can say it truly is a miracle. I never thought I would be able to install Mac OS X 10.3 on my supposedly "inferior" x86-based AMD machine. Well, for most of you mac-zealots, you were wrong. It actually does. And I've got the proof right here!
The installation was not really that hard; the PearPC website has done an excellent job in providing you with information. And, just days after the 0.1 release, websites all around the world posted howto's and installation guides. I'm not going to explain how it is done in this article; that is not the purpose of this article. The purpose of this article is to simply show you that it can be done, and I will do this through a number of screenshots.
After generating.iso's from the Mac OS X install disks, it is time to boot PearPC by issuing a simple "ppc config.txt" command. PPC itself does not really have a GUI (only the "change CD" button) so the first GUI stuff you'll encounter is the Installer:
[image removed]
My hart actually skipped a beat; I never really thought it would work; not necessarily because I thought PearPC was vaporware, but more because my computer is getting kind of, well, old.
Of course everything was not running very snappy; on their website they warn you: the emulated processor is about 40 times slower than the host processor. Still, I was amazed at what I saw: it worked!
After a painstaking process of creating a bootable "harddisk" (grab a bootable.img file from the website; it saves you a lot of time), the installation started.
[image removed]
It took, in total, more than 5 hours. And that was just the first cd. Since I had nothing else to do (PearPC took 99% of my processor and all the RAM it could possibly find), I actually started to clean my bed/computer room. Thank you, PearPC.
After the installation of the first disk, PearPC had to be restarted with the harddisk image file as the master, and the second install disk as slave. This was a point of frustration; Mac OS X would not boot. Luckily, I was not the only one having this problem. It turned out that the installer put the Mac OS X partition in third, while it should be in second place. Again, take a look at the PearPC website, the solution is out there.
After the installation of the second disk was ready, I was finally able to boot into Mac OS X 10.3, Panther. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a very strange moment. I now know what all those people must have felt when they were abducted by aliens (not that I believe in those stories, but still).

Well, just when I was ready to start "Enjoying my Apple Computer", a weird bug appeared: I was dropped into an infinite Finder crash-loop. Well, not really infinite, 15 minutes or so later, the loop ended. Mac OS X 10.3, Panther, was actually running on my Athlon machine!
[image removed]
The only glitch left was the Dock. It also encountered a crash loop, but this one was indeed infinite. I am confident that these problems will be resolved in later versions of PearPC.
Conclusion:
I am truly impressed. I do not really have anything more to say than: thank you, PearPC, for this, well, enlightened moment. And for my clean room, of course.
Test system:

5. If you read the material, you see that the smooth underbody for water use is achieved through moving panels. In land mode, the panels are retracted. This likely disrupts airflow under the body and reduces lift.
the reason sports cars have spoilers, under-body kits, and the like IS to reduce lift... what you ment to say was something like: "This likely disrupts airflow under the body and produces lift." if it reduced lift then all the rice-burners would be putting v-shaped hulls up underneith their cars (thus forcing them off the road while calling it natural selection would then be useless)

except that it wasn't... it was "we the electoral college" that did it. remember, he lost the popular vote (our votes).
um... it was a joke?
I was thinking "are you ever going to fire me?" Hire the one who says no. Instant job security :)
"most importantly in tourism, weather stations, corporate websites, airports, sports clubs, construction sites and private residences"
so, basically, everything?
