    I'd only use it for backup, why waste limited backup space on porn? Porn is already well backed up by everyone else.

    This makes me sad I didn't pulled my shoes off and let them rest of the backside of the chatting womens in front of us at the movie once. Or smacked their heads or kicked the back of their seats every time they wouldn't shut up.

    Sure, just chat on, but rest assure you'll get my feets in your face each and every time.

    Fuckers, everyone who mess up someone else experience should get punished.

    I love Blizzards anti-cheating policies, ethical correct or not.

    +1 on all of it, no chance in hell I'd buy an OLPC for the cost they ask from normal people, which is closer to current netbooks than $100.

    He probably mean that if normal people could buy ONE cheap instead of having to buy one and give the other one away he'd have more orders from normal/rich/whatever people, which would raise the production amount and his income which eventually would lower prices even more.

    IPS and MVA can to so ..

    S-PVA would be a great choice for anyone actually doing something useful at the machine though.

    Guess dual screen setup with PVA + TN is ok to, one for image work and another one for gaming, and both for everything else (well, maybe movies and browsing on the PVA to... Btw, how does movies work on it? Do you get unsynced audio? VLC and such can fix that but anyway, maybe you never notice it. Add 30-40 ms delay on the audio as default? =P)

    Bredbandsbolaget charges 349 SEK for this including telephony (which normally cost 125 SEK by the regular network.)

    But the problem with S-PVA is that I will want to play sometimes and I wouldn't feel good with 30+ ms input lag, even if it may not affect my performance that much.

    So MVA or IPS it is.

    I'm comparing LCDs, I don't give a shit where they sit.

    It's not impossible to use MVA or IPS in laptops, it's just that no-one seem to make or use them.

    TN panels is shit no matter where they sit, and laptop TN panels in general seem to be even more crap than desktop ones.

    And then I just mentioned some panels which don't seem that crappy but still has decent price.

    And Apple uses TN in their 20" iMac to, there cinema displays is quite well regarded but then again you can get similar performance for less from Dell so I'd never buy one.

    Nah, it was stupid off me, what I meant was that it was stupid to buy an Airport Extreme/Express when you could buy something else or roll your own with the same or more functionality.

    For the later to get Airfoil to work I guess you had to run Linux, but if it's ok without I'd probably run Solaris and set up ZFS and iSCSI for Timemachine and such.

    I don't know if it's possible to get the source code for Airfoil speaker and build that on Solaris.

    Anyway point wasn't "let's install OS X on all this", point was "Don't buy Apple hardware for this."
