I built a spankin' new computer not too long ago and threw on Redhat 9... Everything set itself up just swell. Back in the RH7.3 days though, drivers were hell.
Now, if they'd set up Samba and all the web services i need (Apache, PHP, coldfusion, and mysql don't play well together) and... I'd pay more than for a windows box. i dont know why, but for me samba is hell.

Q: If I register my number on the National Do Not Call Registry, will it stop all telemarketing calls?
A: No. Placing your number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop most, but not all, telemarketing calls. You may still receive calls from political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors or companies with which you have an existing business relationship.
I think the allowed types of organizations are a lot more tolerable than someone trying to sell me into a book club.
I tried doing the same thing you're doing a couple years ago. The problem is that old people always assume that you can be paid in milk-and-cookies. No kidding, a lady actually expected to pay me with cookies she baked.
The main problem i had was proving that something wasn't my fault. You go to someone's house and fix their CDRom. no problem, you leave and it's fixed. A month later their modem goes bad and they assume that it's your fault. As far as they know it's the same thing, and you were the last one in there, so it must be your fault.
As long as you 'own' the cd, you can have the mp3s, right?
Does it matter where you buy them from? I can go to a garage sale a buy a cd and it becomes mine.
Are you only allowed to have the MP3s while you own the CD?
It'd be cool to have a place where they had bunches of cds, and when the RIAA tries to go after someone for MP3s, they could give the CDs to that person just to prove ownership of some kind. Even if the cds were bought for $.01, they'd be theirs. After the RIAA leaves that person alone, they send the cds back and it all starts over. any good?
the dominant story in the us right now is the bombing of a UN building in Iraq.
I'm sorry to say, that unless tech news has the words Microsoft, virus, or Hack in it (sometimes all three), it won't even get back page coverage. TechTV may have something about it, but it'll be most likely a combination of comments Leo read on Slashdot.
I've been wanting to build a system that'd use cameras to find the lines on the road and keep my car between them. Now GPS would probably be an easier way to guide a car down the road, but i'd still like to see if it's possible, safe, and reliable.
Before I read the last line of your comment i was going to ask you to send me or post a copy of some of your documents. If you start a website though, that'd be swell too.
What it'd be is an organized real-life DOS attack... how legal would it be? I never heard of wasting someone's time being a crime.

For that, we need some way to make sending bulk email costly to spammers
This argument has been used over and over again, and it's just plain wrong. Think about it. Telemarketers have the cost of using the phone, fax-spammers (network marketers) use phone lines also. Bulk snail-mailers pay postage. For some reason, they're all still surviving. Why?
Because the cost becomes built in to their business model. it won't stop, it will only hurt regular users to charge for email/services. Sure, their profits may be cut a little bit, but that's not going to stop them. if anything, they'll do it more, because if their profit margin is smaller, they'll have to spam harder... right?
i get the fast busy with alltel all the time, plus they'll disconnect me after about 15 minutes. I'd switch, but i'm locked into the contract for another year:( Being only 18, they made me promise to stay for 2 years.
They'll spin it like they're playing nice with the other kids, but all the while, they'll just be taking everyone for a ride.
Exactly right. This is one of those things where you know if you say something like you just said in public, people are going to look at you like you're a crazy conspiracy theorist, but you know you're right... then they win again.

Or you could take the displays and hook them up to a wearable computer and make some crazy system of mirrors to get a cheapish display...

wearable display cost has been holding me back on making a wearable computer
