Hi, try dark gray background and black text - Not a bright background (like white) - that's a big glowing thing that hurts your eyes, but you need enough contrast between the text and background.
However - as annoying as this may be, your eyes will probably be happier if you increase the size a few notches.
Why would anyone, anywhere, ever let a website pick what font you see? That's almost as bad as letting a website pick what colors the text and background are.
Did anyone happen to see if these chipsets support ECC ram? The hardware review sites didn't mention if they do or not, but that's usually not something they seem to check. (Or if they do check they just whine about not being able to overclock or something)
AMD also claimed they were going to release a 35W version of their AM2 3800 processor last June, but as of yet it's still not available at any retailer. Only 7 months late so far! So, take what they claim with a large grain of salt...
Don't forget gentoo's habit of reqiuring libraries Y to upgrade package X, only for library Y not to build...
It has been my experience that upgrading anything "big" (i.e. firefox) almost never works without hitting a broken build for something in the dependency chain.
Even with no offshoring, IT is a dead end career. You can reasonably expect to top out within 4 or 5 years, and after that, the only way for your career to grow is to go into management. And if management is your interest, you would be better served studying business in college, rather than IT.
An easy solution, IMO, would be to have two switches/hubs - one 100mbit switch that everyone starts on, and then a 10mbit hub for the people who's computer's are being a problem. When someone has a computer that's doing a flood ping or whatever, migrate them over to the 10mbit hub, and let them stay there. That'll limit the bandwith they can take from everyone else, and will be really cheap to implement.
The article didn't mention it, but maybe someone here knows: Is there a way to set control-U in the MS Windows to work like it does on X? (clearout the URL line, instead of opening up the source view)
Wouldn't a USB to PS2 adaptor (without a keyboard attached to it) be enough to fool the BIOS that there's a keyboard present? Those can be fairly small, not quiet dongle sized, but maybe close enough for you?
The 5 (or so) year old SGI 1600sw doesn't seem to have any ghosting artifacts with games or movies, why can't so many more recently produced displays do the same?
I tried pulling the fan out of a power supply in a case with good ventilation, and it worked. For about 10 minutes. Then the power stopped working and started making the "dead electronics" smell. The system was fine with a new power supply though.

I was wrong.

Is there a way to filter out slashdot posts that are just links to the NYT?

Advances in capacitors??? How shocking!

Has anyone spotted any benchmarks of kernel compile times (or any other gcc based compile time benchmarks for that matter) ?
Try fictionwise for pdf versions of (some) books: http://www.fictionwise.com/, and select "multiformat". I've bought a lot of books through there.
So, you're saying that "other than all the people who died younger, people lived just as long back then"?
People have junk they don't want. People pay other people to take the junk. A third group of people whine.

How strange, I think I read something similar recently: http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/01/1 7/0342224

Nah, homosapiens should have been #43... The list is alphabetical.

#1 - Cygwin ... Can't think of any others...
#2 - Some flavor of mozilla

Speaking from experience, that's not true. :)

If you're interested in a silent (fanless) 350W power supply, check this one out:
