  1. seems kind of bulky though on A Practical Approach To Shushing Your PC · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'd like a quieter PC, but space is at a premium here and I don't want a PC which is 5'x5'.

  2. summer job on New Dell Clickthrough Software License · · Score: 1

    this would be a fantastic job for me. particularly the bit about contracts agreed to by an intoxicated person being void...

    2. accept 2000 EULAs per day
    3. get paid for it
    4. profit!!!

    actually the as/400 uses 5250, though applications such as x3270 can have a keymap for this

  4. that would really hurt on T-Shirt Cannon · · Score: 1

    i certainly wouldn't want to be hit by a machined aluminium potato

  5. me too! on IBM 600 Series Laptops and Flaky Batteries? · · Score: 1

    I used to work for an IBM business partner, we all had thinkpads of various kinds. We all thought the battery lives sucked.

    I usually worked at a desk, I'd use mains power (and charge the battery all day, then next morning turn it on and use battery power till it beeped at me when I'd plug it in. On a new thinkpad this was about an hour, after six months it was 10 minutes, after 8 months it had about 30secs of life.

    I had a 380 and then an iSeries 1500, both the same.
