I have actually tried yoper. I didnt find it to be that poor of a distrobution. I do have complaints that it's precompiled packages are very limited. It was one of the three I seriously considered recommending to people. The other two are SuSE and ubuntu. SuSE finally won out because it handled "my" hardware better than the others. Yoper is a solid distro, and if I wasn't so..... used to using SuSE (its what I learned on and I am biased) I would recommend it over fedora core, and knoppix hands down. I might even recommend it over ubuntu.
While I agree that the placing of the mics isn't something to be taken lightly..... I personally wouldn't have an issue with it if it was the same type of mics they use in spl, or db drag competitions. Those are only good for measuring sound levels.
I would almost agree with that statement. Lately, most motherboard I have seen go bad have been because of bad capacitors. It depends on when he bought his board. Ever since about 2000 I have ran into more bad capacitors (either leaking or bulging tops), to be specific, of the 6700 uF varity.
While the power supply may be the culprit, and I do agree with getting it checked.....I would recommend looking at the caps on the board even before that. ASUS and Giga-byte both had a couple of bad batches of boards becuase of the cheap caps they used.
Mwave, TigerDirect, Directron, Newegg....there are many sites that provide these barebones motherboards. I have never seen one for less than 80 dollars though. I have found all in one integrated boards for much cheaper. If you are looking for a barebones system though, try Tyan, MSI, or Giga-byte. ASUS tends to pack everything onto the board, soyo and abit are the same. I havent heard or had much experience with epox, dfi (they also have good reviews, and I believe the lanboy is fairly barebones but expensive). Do about 20 minutes searching and you can find what you are looking for. I personally recommend a Giga-byte board. I have had nothing but great luck with them.
Best of luck in your search.

My bad, I missed the very last part (cheaper hardware, but software is about the same).
The hardware is getting compararable in price now as well.

It is cheaper to buy programs for XP???? Please explain. OSX - ~$70 XP - ~$300 MS Office is about the same (I wont use it, I use OO.org) games - more selection for MS Firewall OSX - free (iptables) XP - 40ish (Mcafee or Norton are the most common)
By the looks of it, XP still is more expensive for me. Ill stick with Linux or OSX.
Thank you for your troll. (if you have to dl a ton of software in order to make the os usable, why not just go get a good distro and have it usable out of the box). Linux -90ish for Novell full edititon. XP 300, you can even go any buy a better graphics card for what you save.
believe it or not, you can land a quarter on the edge as well.
I was really bored one day while at work, so i started flipping a coin to see if I could controll how it landed, trying to land it on the heads side, it landed, rolled and came to a rest on its side, it wasnt a high flip, but the dishwasher i was working with had to take a break to get all of the waitress, the boss, the buss boy, and the owner to come get a look. I have had that happen twice to me, dont know how, and I wouldnt bet on it ever happening again.
seriously, why are we throwing such a fit about using the ipod as a cd replacement when if you read the summary, we can use the pinnacle of alphageekdom (sorry, couldnt help the made up word)(who has the largest thumbdrive if you couldnt guess). Most of us have thumbdrives to run this stuff from, quit complaining just becuase someone found that this works on the ipod, and realize that this could be more/less helpful than a slax or knoppix cd (pick spinoff as appropriate). Most of my live cd's cant boot off a usb device, so this can and will have a niche market of tech support lackies that dont want to carry around a cd wallet, but a thumbdrive instead.
How do you place a tax on something that is free (oo.org anyone)??? Point being that it would be really hard to determine what is being downloaded (especially if you use encryption) in order to tax it.
Not gonna be feasable without breaking a few laws to do it (intercepting communications that have a reasonable assumption of privacy without a warrent ???? maybe) Circumventing encryption (dcma i think) or I could just be full of shite

If you are worried about the electric bill, build a mini-itx based system. They can be ran off of a 60 watt power supply (some require 90) and would make a great dedicated music server. They are not powerfull enough to worry about your electric bill.....and some can be nearly silent (no fans) except for hd and cd noise.
I wont drink and drive.
Secondly, no near misses/tickets/moving violations in over 5 years.
I do understand that cell phones can be a distraction, but a person has to be able just drop the phone and they cant forgo the basics of driving( checking mirrors every once in a while, using your turn signals, not speeding) for the sake of a conversation.
This study, no matter how many people they studied is beyond inaccurate (much like my spelling).
I will say that people that allow a conversation while driving are distracted...but...that doesnt mean that they are poorer drivers.
I have always been able to concentrate on the road while on the phone. The reason is simple, if my wife (the only person that calls me in the middle of rush hour while im on 95) knows not to get into a serious conversation. I can't count how many times I have said hold on, or what did you say because the road had my attention.
People that give the phone more attention than the road drive like drunks.... but that is far from everyone.
They didn't (sorry if this is a dup submit, winblows got jumpy on me), they were bought by nvidia.
Who says that the 6600 isnt designed for multi core? They own the research to do it, thanx to 3dFX. Who wants to bet the sli infrastructre is based off of that tech.
and the first multi chip card was way before this.
I dont know if you want to count daisychained voodoo II's or not, but the two chips did outperform one. But i dont think that should count.
I had a Rage Fury Maxx. I never had that issue with the black screen and no reboot. I had issues with the performance. I had a Rage Fury, and it performed as well as the Maxx did. I did get it to work once, but then I rebooted.
Also, there are the 3dfx cards, voodoo 4 and 5 like everyone else has said.

Suns Java desktop system is like that. I would highly recommend that the sysadmin removes all references to the install cd or any other source other than his dedicated ftp server. That server better be locked down tight.
With that said, these will work with yast (the jds is based off os suse, as well as novells offering). The solutions are out there, but they are designed for the office only, and great care should be placed in testing the patches before they are posted on the server for the users to automatically download. Hell, that could be done with a cron job and a script.
