No I don't understand completely how they interact with my body, but I damn sure read the directions on the bottle and follow them, and I'm not very likely to stick anything in the wrong hole -- thats far more than we can expect from the average user.
I work at an elementary school in Florida -- this is a godsend. I've been trying to keep Windows usage to a minimum, using flash based distros to create web terminals that can go to educational websites, but still a good amount of windows machines are needed to run kids programs.
Now when we need new computers, I can just get mini Macs -- the whole Knowledge Adventure Jumpstart series is available for OSX. Its cheaper than the eMac, and I can hook it up to the existing equipment (minus the PS2 keyboards of course, but I can get those off of ebay for 12 bucks).
Also, I hear that these things are very quiet and generally don't use their fans. Quiet is good, because no one needs noisy machines whirring in the background when you're trying to read a book to the class, and no fan is good because of DUST. Good lord kids are just giant dust factories.
"and by the time it gets supported it's several years down the track"
I was using Gentoo last christmas on my Athlon64 (on an MSI K8T Neo motherboard with Promise SATA and the gigabit ethernet). And in 64 bit mode. Some hardware may take a few years to be supported. Some is supported very quickly.
You misunderstand -- it was not my intention that free software be unavailable except for a price (as it is plainly forbidden by the GPL). It never entered my mind when I was phrasing that bit of text you quoted that it might be misconstrued as such.
First off, the cost of Click-N-Run *is* far too high. But "don't pay money for software" -- thats a dangerous mindset for the industry. Just because its FOSS doesn't mean you shouldn't pay -- especially if you happen to think the developers deserve it. It's more like a donation to a cause that you support. I also think commercial software has its place, and obviously should be payed for. I'm sure people who program for a living would agree with me.
Next time you retire an old PC, dont give it away -- keep it around and mess around with Linux. If you want an easy experience, try SuSE 9.1. I am very impressed with it.
I guess that depends on how you write an essay. Or maybe what you consider an essay. I approach creative writing and technical or factual writing totally differently. I think creativity allows you to think in a more comfortable way in that you don't restrict yourself to a single way that things must be done, which probably subconciously locks off many resources.
No expansion modules, sorry. Lucky for you, all you have to do is exercise it, promoting the growth of neural pathways in this area. Try sitting around thinking of very complex images or something. Maybe the old oranges trick -- think of one orange, then think of two, five, ten, thirty, fifty, 100, 1000, a million.
If I recall correctly, you can see some interesting results with this -- as you get higher, people begin to group the oranges in order to be able to comprehend them all at once. Usually people see a truck carrying oranges when they reach a million, and a barrel at a thousand.
Try viewing as many of them as you can without grouping.
I'll definitely support them with my money and you can download and install it free over the internet if you have wget installed open a terminal su to root and type in... without the periods of course:) and their sleek installer will download and launch.
Ok, now... breathe...

Certainly noy THE wal-mart cheap PC we're all thinking of? Because I don't recall it being much of a success.
They're using the Netscape brand to push an ISP that competes directly with NetZero.

Now the cell phone companies can rape my bank account on *two* fronts.

Pretty sure its the fake one that the little midget used to scare everybody in the episode with the 'corbomite reflector'.
I like your sig, it says it all. That is what that last part was, right? Oh sorry, I just assumed...
I can hear it screaming from here.
More SPAM!
Ah yes, my brain is only running at 1600, but its performance rating is 2500+++!!! So there!
What a crappy acronym.
Intelligence is too broad a term to be applied to any of this. Just because a person has a perfect photographic memory doesn't make them a genius.

Gentoo is releasing a tool called Catalyst in their next version which allows you to build LiveCD's.
Or hey, I could buy 2 copies of Windows. Right.
For 1400 I could put a godlike non-noiseless sound system in my car, so that would be a no.
Where do I put all my coke cans...?
