Speaking of limited experience, have you seen other older laptops (aside from Thinkpads) that do this? Seems to me I have not but, admittedly, my experience is with only what I was issued at work and some crappy other laptops (CTX, for example).
I wish I were trolling... my old Dell just ain't up to the task. Other than that, my Toshiba (albeit VERY old) doesn't do it either. Seems both responses I received were about Thinkpad's which I have never used.
That would be great if laptops had two video heads. Every one I have had will only display the same image on all ports. I suppose there has to be some out there that can do that, however.
Personally, I like KDE because it is more Windows-esque (ducks) but I think it is simply a matter of which I started with. Had I used a distro that defaulted to GNOME I would be stating the opposite here. My theory is that with Mono/GTK# on the horizon that will be the choice to cross-platform apps. At least that is what I will choose myself. But what is nice is that'll still run under KDE. If this whole compatilibity stuff between the environments stuff takes off there will be a refreshing ability to CHOOSE (as in you actually HAVE a choice) between desktop environments.
Well Put. If Microsoft has done one thing right that has been VS.Net 2003. It is the one tool that is actually worth the money they ask for it.
Given that the original poster gave very little information about their project it tough to say what would work for them.
At face value, yes. But I am sure the publicity the winner's have received along with the licensing/purchasing of their technology is going to make up the difference very quickly. Heck, Virgin has already done that. Trust me, they are not going to be in the hole for very long.
Just too bad you can't vote here. I fear that Bush will get voted back into office. The world will hate him (and us) more and that will make the world (and us) a more dangerous place.
It has happened to me a couple of times but that was Dell PC in a corporate world so who knows what's going on there.
However, what if you bought the PC used from someone? Did they keep that key for their own use but not remove it from the back of the PC? I could see that as a problem.
I don't think you are an outlier. Myself included, I know many people that perfer PC gaming (i.e. your reference to FPS's).
As far as shelf-life of the DVDs I'll have to disagree. I have never had a DVD go bad on me for years. Now the DVD player itself is a different tale. I had a 1st gen DVD player that didn't last long at all but when I get a new DVD player (a Sony, coincidentally) it played all of the DVDs my last player had troubles with. When I did have problems, I cleaned the lens and it worked fine again.
Now saying that VHS has longer shelf life than DVD is just cray talk man.
Exaaaactly. If a small business relies on AOL for their ISP/road-warrier needs then chances are they really aren't aware of security issues. One good spin on this is it is exactly these sort of people that will buy into to this... bad spin being that they will indeed bleed information (credit card#, account logins for banking) via some other orifice.
So I decided to search for "Alexa" since the web search results were "enhanced" by Google and Alexa. Along side the search results were the image results. A naked "Alexa" appears as the first results.
This is a damn good search engine for that reason only (ha). Good thing I was at work, though...
Even more so than that most email systems have a configuration option (sometimes even per-user) that can disable public/internet email exchange. Even Microsoft Exchange has that!
At my company, internet email is actually turned off by default until the user takes a "training" course on how to use the Internet properly. Interestingly enough, the words "spam" appear nowhere in that training.
Not that I can really do that much better but if you are "publishing" your paper on IPV6 on the Internet you might want to get someone to edit it for you. There are many many errors in that paper that would not pass a high scool writting course.
Can you imagine what would happen if all the Comcast retards were straight to the Net with their own IP on each computer?
I thought "Comcast Retard" and "Public IP address open to the world" were synonyms.
But seriously, I would assume that the "retards" that have more than one computer did not setup the router themselves or have used one of them there Linksys dohickeys. Which means they are using NAT without even knowing it but I get your point regardless. Aside from those blank admin passwords we're safe for now.
True. But the level of compatibility is higher than that of OO.o or AbiWord. However, I haven't had any major difficulties with it (OO.o) as it is usually only minor things (for my work, that is, anything more complex will probably yield worse results).
If you would have stopped after the first sentence, people may have believed you and possibly even modded you higher. But c'mon! There's NO WAY you made a GIF of the resolution... AND with a donkey. Let's be realistic here...
Not too mention that Belgian Ale's taste good warm as well as cold... unlike the mainstream crap that we have over here (like Bud, Coors, etc).
Go Delerium Nocturnum (I am sure I mispelled that).
At least they said it was optional. But then again, that just means they'll raise your rates and the "discounted" rates will but what you WERE paying before you decided not to install the little black box.

All I needed was "Synergy" ...

Yeah, but what the heck would the color scheme look like on that? Oh wait, it's green and white just like to front page.

I didn't mind the content, however.

Parent should be modded higher because he used a creative way of pointing out a spelling error instead of just berrating the grandparent
That would be a capital "e" as in English ... that is the extent of my knowledge of the English vocab.

That too sounds like a conicidence and not irony... not that I can come up with a good example ... we'll have to call George Carlin in for this one.
