lindows could always have people mail them a signature.. it looks like they had pretty much had it worked it beforehand though.. im kind on the other side of the coutry though i almost tried claiming something but i decided not to on the last page
a few years back we got some dead classic macs and dug a big pit and smashed then and soaked them in gasoline... and inhaled vapors that are proably still affecting my head to this day.. but it was fun..
yeah. its called the ipod. and most likely the ipod is better considering dell always has problems with build quality. and their support sucks beyond belief... apple's support has to be better than dell's.. i own mostly pc's so its not that im a mac freak (well i am but im equally divided) but yeah i just dont trust dell
I've never really liked dell at all and still dont.. although i have to say the axim is probably their best product.. for the price its amazing (especially compared to my ipaq 3630)
i like the erotica package detailed on their site.. sounds pretty good.. i dont think my girlfriend's parents would too much approve of us utilizing such facilities though and it probably costs more than the $2 that belongs to me. college. blah.
I havent yet invested in wireless input devices since it seemed strange before that although the atual dvices werent tethered you had to have the reciever thethered- this is tru wireless. too bad my fastest mac desktop is a 333 g3 and my fastest mac laptop is a partially dead 5300 and i didnt get the bluetooth option in my acer travelmate 800 lci since my ipaq 3630 sure as hell doesnt have bluetooth...
I'm in college and I've chosen not to own a cell phone because i am still afraid of possible health-related side effects. however just about everyone else i've seen is constantly clutching the darn things to their ears and it is here that i recently realized that it is hard to avoid exposure to it. can also goto other countries and find a control group depending on what is being researched....
I got a sparcstation LX and sparcstation 2 a little while ago and got the optical mice but not the pad.. so i went around the house searching for surfaces that would function until i got the pad and ended up using assorted pots and pans.. they worked, not exceptionally well but they worked
hey smalltalk was invented by alan kay... everyone should read dealers of lightning.. btw I MET STEVE WOZNIAK LAST NIGHT! I have a pic of me and woz now..:)
Theres something a little strange about that... you pay for your ISP you dont pay for kazaa.. and if theyre in a housing authority apartment what are they doing spending that money on something like that?? They must be paying $30/month for internet because you'd have to be really incompetent to pay for kazaa. As far as not knowing that the RIAA thinks its illeagal- even if the girl was maybe too young to understand what was going on when napster was around if her mother is internet savy enough to input a credit card number to 'pay for kazaa' then certainly her mother would have heard something about the mess and debate that napster started!! It doesn't go together right. Age has nothing to do with it. I was downloading stuff in 7th grade and I knew what i was doing and i could have been on the honor roll if i didnt think computers were more important, theres no reason a 12 year old girl who is intelligent enough to be on the honor roll wouldnt be competent enough to understand that possibly a $30 fee wouldnt be enough to cover the equivalent all those downloads would be in store bought cds. Its crazy..
yeah but i figured it would be interesting if ms's site went down due to slashdot effect.. lol although im sure theyre running on more than one server....
xp home even! home! home is almost as bad as ME.. well not quite since ME isnt even an operating system and even xp home can run stable for more than 10 minutes... i hate hard drives.. there is no reliable form of mass storage out there at all and that pisses me off... my friends cd burner shorted out his 120gb drive when it had a buffer underrun once and killed the logic board which we're replacing soon.. i've returned 3 75gxps and my one of my 60 gxps today started to make clicking noises every few times it starts up but its kind of suprising that it lasted pretty long which was nice.. my wd1200jb which is almost new last week startyed making funny noises so got an advance rma and left it off for a few days and now its sounding fune but im using it now as the boot drive since i had to use partitionmagic to copy everything from the 60gxp so i can send the 60gxp back although it appears to be working fine now i dont like risking it with hard drives.. wd doesnt pay for returnm shipping and ibm used to so i hope hgst does or ill be having some chats with their tech support.. god i hope its still in warranty
One of the greatest books of all time...

Dealers of Lightning
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I'm 17 and I read this book in '98 when it first came out. It was actually at a library so this i tried to go buy it but It had to be special ordered because I guess its actually out of production now which made me really sad... so everyone that reads this should go and buy "Dealers of Lightning" and maybe we can put enough orders in for them to reprint it!! It is the most definitive guide to the complete beginnings of the real computer age and is the whole history of was quite possibly the largest convergence of wonderful awesome genius ever in the history of the world!! inspiring, motivational, well written, and actually interesting and worth every cent. buy it now!!
