At lunch, my parents can call me if they're not at work to tell me to eat somewhere else. If I didn't have a cellphone, they wouldn't be able to. PS, I use it for about 10 minutes a month, and no SMS...
This might be the place to ask for some help getting internet access at school... they recently improved security, and can now disable internet at computer classes whenever they want to. All computers there are networked, and the ones in the library do have permanent internet access. How can I set up a proxy and lower the chances of getting caught?
PS: they say they record what we are doing, but I don't really believe it (plus we haven't been given personal users yet)
This will either lead to people hooking up their DVD players to their stereos or to the appearance (sp?) of small DVD-audio players to hook up to the stereo. I guess those small, portable DVD players could get slimmer and replace the walkman.
When I bought my PC (every part proudly chosen by me) they installed XP, although I assume it was either a pirate copy or OEM (because no one buys windows here). I got a CD with windows 2000 and installed it inmediately. I think it was worth the trouble.
Interesting... we could start a project to produce cheap prints (what's their name?) and make dirt-cheap books, in the order of 1 to 3 dollars. Hell, we could start a project to give the kids' parents jobs, so the kids can go to school instead of work! Let's go even further and give the teachers decent salaries so kids don't lose 10% of their schooldays because of teacher strike!
MHO any state school that isn't using Linux and OpenOffice at least for general purpose computing (ie. web browsing, paper writing, etc) is wasting the taxpayer's money
Well, we aren't allowed to browse the internet* and we have to write assignments at home, so...
*This started when they put new machines with properly locked down win2000. Before that we could browse the web and even see the transexual porn (I AM NOT KIDDING) in the vice-principal's computer.
The value of a story lies mostly in its comments. Sometimes dupes are interesting because new points are brought up, etc. However, if it's about evolution, you can give up any hopes of progress right.... now.
Pretty much anyone can do cleaning/construction (once minimally trained). Plus, even if a dollar is worth 3 argentinian or 30 uruguayan pesos, what costs 1 dollar in the US doesn't cost 1 peso here.
My point exactly. We could use a floppy-based distro and put a slim browser on that (slimmer than firefox). youOS runs kinda slow on firefox on win2000.
By OS independant I mean it doesn't depend on an OS. That means, it's its own OS. Unlike firefox.

Actually it's wakey-wakey, eggs and bakey, but the snakes would eat the eggs and leave you hungry and rime-less.

I'm willing to bet the people at LIGO noticed it...
B&W laser printers are under $130 here. At that price, you can buy a print server and have money to spare.
BOOKS! We've learned with them for ages and it works! Problem isn't lack of laptops, it's:
You put the quotes in the wrong place. Let me rearrange that:

Does linux run pikavoley natively?
PS: I'm not sure 3.1 runs pikavoley, we started playing it at school when they upgraded to 95 or 98.

I thought many of them bought contamination credits (whatever they're called)

You forgot XP, so I assume you're with me in the group that stayed with 2000
Should we reach the conclusion that Vista is *gasp* worse than ME?
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOooooooo...
Stupid me, I meant "We're not one of those fancy college-title nuclear scientists"
To this, the researchers answered with an article titled "We're one of those fancy college-title nuclear scientists"

You know, any decent construction or cleaning job will get you a lot more than pennies a day.
My government spends 100 million dollars in notebooks and there isn't even a mention in the newspaper? WTF?
You do realize it runs on your pc, right?
