  1. I've had problems with mine, but it's still great on IBM ThinkPad X41 Tablet PC Reviewed · · Score: 0

    I've got one of these and pretty soon will use it as my only machine while I'm living in a dorm. It's good, but I've had some problems. First, it took me 7 weeks to get it, but I did get it as soon as it came out. I had the system board replaced because the battery was not charging, and plus the hitachi hard drive has developed bad sectors (from shipping?) which still needs fixed. Also, there is an issue with these things where the mouse curser jumps around like crazy and closes programs, supposedly related to EMI from the digitizer. This makes it hard to do anything on it. Despite having all these problems, I still think it's a well designed machine for what I'm going to use it for...college.

  2. Re:This is available in BIOS on Another Stab at Laptop Security · · Score: 0

    I ordered the IBM X41 Thinkpad Tablet a couple weeks ago, and got the bios-based 3 years of computrace along with it. I got the CD, but I'm still waiting for the tablet. It says that it's an activation CD, so I'm hoping that you can activate it via windows, but have it work without worrying about the OS.

    System Requirements:
    Windows XP
    Internet Explorer 6 And Above

    I wonder how much you could get paid to solve the Y10K problem?

  4. this is easy on A Simple Note Taking Software - Which One? · · Score: 0

    A tablet PC would be perfect for the job. (If you don't mind windows). I find MS Onenote and Agilx Gobinder to be perfectly cable of taking handwritten and textual notes.

  5. won't be used at colleges on Google Scholar: Not Ready for Prime Time? · · Score: 0

    At least mine. Unless the colleges start showing it as a option, only the truely geeky of us will know of it. And those of us who do know of it would probably rather use something else.

    I know at my college, people use only two search options: the ones they are told about by the librarians, namely Academic Search Premier, and plain vanilla Google.

  6. folding@home on Largest Privately Owned Supercomputer · · Score: 0

    So who wants to rent this bad boy out to fold for team slashdot on folding@home? Then you can brag about your score to the.... um.... like 10 slashdotters who actually fold.

  7. Re:They Will Not Acknowledge They Change The Rules on MMOG Currency Seller Owns Media Network ? · · Score: 0

    How is it different from an amusement park where you have to wait in line for 3 hours for a 3 minute ride? Would you rather pay an extra $25 you can skip the line and go straight to the fun part? Some amusement parks are doing this, why can't online games?

  8. This is why... on China Rewards Porn Snitches · · Score: 0

    I'm proud to be an American! I mean, who is going to fund innovation when there's no pr0n? Must be why those Swedes are so smart ;)

  9. Spoilers alert! on A Liquid That Turns Solid When Heated · · Score: 0

    This material is just from the new T-1100 from Terminator 4. :)

  10. Re:0 comments and already slashdotted... on Linux Standard Base 2.0 released · · Score: 0, Redundant

    just add nyud.net:8090 to the end of the url and all will be good
