I run debian and xp on my laptop, what I do is install lilo to the partition, xp's ntloader installs to the partition, then i set linux as the active partition, and use debian-mbr
if i want to start xp, i hold in shift at boot, and can pick which partition to boot off of.
if i want to start linux, i just let it start
usually when installing, windows doesn't overwrite the master boot record, and the acrive partition at the same time. if it overwrites the mbr, it'll boot into linux with no choice, and i'll have to reinstall debian-mbr to go back into windows. if changes the active partition, i can boot into linux anyhow (thanks to a nice mbr) and fix it. if it changes the active partition and overwrites the mbr, i can use vmware and floppy images (or find some floppy images) and fix it.
i imagine boot magic (from power quest) would also work, but this works without paying for additional software.
I've got an E500 here, and its pretty good with battery life... depending on what you're doing
(if you forget to turn of distributed.net your battery power goes out the window)
With two batteries (thanks to the battery recall), I can go to all my classes and don't need to worry about battery power. My school day is about 8 hours, but its in suspend/hibernate a good portion of that. Somedays the second battery doesn't get touched, and some days, its almost drained.
The E500 is somewhat fragile, and with more than the 1024x768 screen, the screen is larger than the base, which is asking for trouble.
The second battery goes in where the floppy drive goes in, and a third (not of the same type) can go in the 'multibay'. The floppy drive is mostly useless for me anyhow, i've got an LS-120 multibay drive (and a dvd-rom i can swap out too) that reads and writes floppy disks a lot better than the pure floppy drive could, and the drive door didn't crack on the ls-120 either:)
#1, even if it works now, they may update their configuration to exclude people who are not users of their network from running queries on the internet at large with their servers. Its not that hard to configure it that way, and its an easy way to reduce network usage.
#2, if there is any problem with that server, it may be difficult to resolve
an easier/more reliable step to take is make your own caching server that will go ahead and hit the root-servers for pointers if your isp's aren't working
In order for peer to peer mode to work, you have to have some idea who to send messages you want to get to a certain phone. Which means your phone needs a routing table, and possibly a very large one. Not to mention that all the possible routes need to be sent to every phone. Also, if you send your message to somebody's cell phone, who then leaves the network (power off, phone drops in water, etc) for a long period of time, the message disappears, this possibility might encourage people to just keep trying for a voice connection for messages they need delivered.
I personally have no ear for quality of speakers...
I can tell if they sound really crappy, but paying more than $10 filters out most of the really crappy speakers.
What I look for is everything is individually connected and disconnectable. Ideally speaker to speaker wires are disconnectable on both ends, at the least it should be disconnectable on both ends.
If I wanted good sound, I'd use digital out to a real speaker system, but i don't care:)
teh way lcd screens work is (through magic) they seperate the white backlight into vertical bands of red, green, and blue (not necessarily in that order).... so you have three sub pixels per pixel, each one is individually controlled.
(that is what microsoft's cleartype(tm) leverages... since, the order of the subpixels are known, you can render to individual subpixels by using color values... and stuff)
i thought the article said it was keeping the last frame in a buffer, so it can compare it with the frame coming down the wire, and use the appropriate voltages for the transition...
as an example, most digital watches use LCD technology and when you take out the battery, everything turns white (or greenish, or whatever color it is:), but when you have the battery in, some areas are black
the voltage 'turns on' the liquid crystal, and blocks out the light
I know of at least one internet company (name available on request) that mostly killed itself by trying to do an IPO.... the ran out of money in the middle of the waiting period, and couldn't make it to the IPO... and mostly sucked from then on.
i believe the point is that even with out a response from the defense, fucknetscape.com was not transfered to aol/timewarner/netscape, showing that the panel can make sane decisions.
i do beleive that in absence of a defense, giving the domain to the complaintant by default is completely within the terms of the domain dispute resolution policy;
having the server on a gigabit and clients on 100 meg won't cause errors... tcp/ip was designed with the thought in mind that not all network connections are created equal.
(simplisticly) the client will only ack as fast as it recieves data, and the server will only send data a certain amount over what has been acked, so the server won't saturate its network connection if its saturating the client's
In wisconsin, if you submit forms (and money) in person, you have to pay an extra processing fee, that you wouldnt' have to pay if you mailed it (its like $3 i _think_) which makes sense.
I think government agencies charge credit card users extra to offset the costs of people disputing charges as well as the processing fees, but thats my personal opinion.

bash has a built in help for commands it defines internally....
these include all the directory navigation things, and a few other useful things
this may be somewhat helpful
i wouldn't use just any dns server...

i think it was just the e500, but i'm not sure, i'm biased because thats the computer i've got :)
actually compaq had a battery recall about 6 months ago.
:)
I like it when they do recalls, it allows me to get free new parts for my laptop
upstream would be relatively easy...
keep track of which phones report they have an uplink, and send through them
assuming some sort of circular route pruning, it wouldn't be too hard
my point was downstream (to the phones) is going to be difficult anyhow
For sending messages to the base station, routing would be easy, yes.
But what about recieving messages?
In order for peer to peer mode to work, you have to have some idea who to send messages you want to get to a certain phone. Which means your phone needs a routing table, and possibly a very large one. Not to mention that all the possible routes need to be sent to every phone.

I believe there was a lawsuit several years ago about copying lists of names and phone numbers to make your own phone book.
And it turned out to be legal, however only copying the information is legal, copying the formatting (probably ads as well) is not.

I know some banks do some really odd things to available balances....
i.e. you deposit a $20 check into your account, and up to $60 of the money in your account is placed 'on hold'
shouldn't happen when money is taken out of your account, but who knows.
if your bank has decent customer service and hold times, it might be worth calling and asking.

yes, but the headline says 'macromedia flash client for linux?' the previous poster probably didn't read the article very closely
i think thats part of what the poster is doing... the difficulty of the initial switch is definately a cost, and may be the most significant cost.
