You need a Lifebook P-Series. I have a 2120 and it runs winxp pro AND RedHat flawlessly. There is a ton of information at LEOG.net about putting Linux on the little P-Series books.

Agreed, I clicked it like 4 or 5 extra times, and maybe once more after I post this! Its fun, you gotta try it!
This is going to challenge Google's search, which will entice them to cut loose some of those really cool google labs concepts. Froogle, Google News, and all of the other cool things that they are working on are great services and are going to be the focus of innovation over at Google.
Also, Looksmart needs to develop and release an API for this system. You can only use the google api for 2,000 searches per. day. If they allowed unlimited usage, it would get a lot of developer backing.
I develop 'AMP' solutions and IMHO this book, in addition to the PHP cookbook, are the best two books you can buy on the subject. You can really tackle most any problem with these two books and if you cant, there is always IRC or as a last resort the documentation:)
IIRC it is not the entangled particles(electrons in this case, photons in more common cases) that do the computations. The entangled particles are used to etch the materials used in making the chips. For some reason, after you entangle the particles, they can etch the surface of the die at a smaller size than their width. In other words, they can make a cut in something less than thier size (and it gets smaller as the number of entangled particles increases). However, I could be totally wrong, in which case I hope that this didn't help:)
I'll post my full system specs, then the score. Asus a7m266-d motherboard, 512mb corsair cas2 pc2100 DDR, 2 Athlon MP 1600+, 1 Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card, 1 Nvidia Geforce Ti4600, NEC usb2.0 card, Aopen CD-RW drive, Aopen DVD+r/+rw drive, WD 'Special Edition' 80GB 72000 hard drive, IBM 40GB 7200 hard drive. I think that's it...my score was 14,532. I couldn't get more than 3 or 4 FPS on some of the benchmarks. I was very pissed off that I couldn't perform better with the hardware I have. I understand that the dvd and all that crap doesn't do anything, but the core system is pretty strong.
BTW: A similar system (same card, same amount of ram) with an Athlon XP 16000 only scored 13,XXX.
However, I'm glad that this is happening to boards that end up in the hands of tech-savvy individuals that can spot the problem. People who buy ABIT, Asus, etc... boards expect a lot from the product that they recieve and are usuially knowledgeable about the equipment that they run.
I could only imagine if this happened to a major computer company, how it would be swept under the rug (which it may already have been). I see that IBM is named in the article, so at least they are willing to accept the failures. IBM is one of the only computer makers that I trust anymore after the way that they handled their hard drive failure issues. Yes, they tried to fix the problem by changing the uptime specs, but in the end, they got the problem worked out without too much hassle to customers (hardware zealots excluded).
I would like to know if this problem has been documented by any users that aren't using products from the manufacturers listed in the article and their expierence with the equipment, service and support.
President Bush: Let me get this straight, tax dollars that isn't going in our pockets?
Bill Gates: Unbelievable right?
President Bush: Even though I can not pronounce their name *giggle* hasn't stopped me in the past *giggle*, i'm still going to add this Deeev-ess to the Axis of Evil.
Bill Gates: and make them run Windows? *fingers crossed*
President Bush: Yeah i'll make some sort of anti-terror law about free something or other.
Steel is stronger than plastic, and more importantly 4 layers of carbon fiber layed together with honeycomb skeletons and epoxy is 4x stronger than steel. This is strength across the board too, not lacking in one area but great in another like ceramics.
You think that they couldn't build a reliable car? Why havn't they taken apart a 1990 civic and figured out how Honda does it? The truth is that America can't afford to build engines/cars with the same precision and to the exacting tolorances that Japanese cars are built. Why is this you say? It is because of the strength of the Auto. Unions in the United States. In Japan the workers take pride in their work, not their paycheck. Flame me for this if you want. However, remember this, my friend comes from the "rich" section outside of Detroit where the car executives live and 8/10 of the American car company execs. drive foriegn cars. Apparantly the car of choice for American car execs. now is the Audi A8 with its heated steering wheel and aluminum body.
This is very true. I live in New Jersey, a state that can be admired for its colorful drivers and its amazing road system (we take our roads very seriously). Take for example, the NJ Turnpike. The parts that are older concrete are in great shape (but you get that *thump* when you hit a gap every 40'), however the paved sections have to be redone constantly because of the number of cars/trucks that NJ pumps down the Turnpike. The seperation of the truck/car lanes between exit 17 and 13 helps a lot as well. Also, the Parkway is always under a state of repair to keep it in its immaculate shape. However, the Parkway has the benifit of not allowing trucks to tear up its surface.

Take a step back, who is really more embarrassing for? The 11 year old your playing with or you?
If you stold a Linksys acess point, you still paid the right price.
Who will be the first to take a picture of their "naughty bits" and zap them up to the big screen?
Wait, if these cost $30 - $50 wouldn't that bump the price of the endabled product up about $1,000?

Oh my, sorry, that was 1,453 and the other system did 1,3xx I was looking at the wrong numbers...

On the other hand, there is that guy that builds the rail guns, and potato cannons that can lauch a golf ball into orbit.
I'm proud to say that, so far, it wasn't my debit card! The balance still reads $6.95, just like the last time I checked.
