I have an old Acer motherboard, Pentium 166 with 64MB of RAM - and you know, back when that computer was manufactured, that was a crapload of memory, man, you could never use all that up!!!!! oh wait, windows 98:(
Its main interest to me is that without a hard drive, the only moving part is the power supply fan. The processor just has a big heat sink. So I wonder if there's a way to use it by adding a floppy drive and possibly a USB key for extra storage - what can it do? DNS? web? Will a 1GB USB flash drive provide endless possibilities?
also a bit like the plot of Ender's Game...not many original ideas in literature. Of course even Shakespeare stole plotlines shamelessly so what the hell.
What about people who live next to state lines? Surely there are other cases where people live in one state and work in another. (it reminds me of that puzzle about which four states one can walk through in a day...i forget the answer though.)
Not super fast but will cruise at 90 all day long on the highway. One of the most solid cars I ever owned with the exception of the AC... Big, comfortable, still gets 25 mpg...I heard the 300SDs do a little better but have no evidence. There are lots of people converting them to WVO because of the big trunk and the completely mechanical fuel system.

I used to work at Dell's refurbishing center where all the customer returns arrived, including warranty returns.
1. Customer dropped laptop in ocean. Result: salty laptop. 2. Puppy peed on laptop. Result: salty yellow laptop. 3. Customer left laptop on car, and made it to the freeway before it fell off. 18-wheeler ran over it. Result: garbage bag of fragments. 4. Wild frat party with blowtorch present. Result: hole burned into (unfortunately not through) laptop. 5. Laptop dropped in river. Result:wet muddy laptop. 6. Customer was an extreme smoker. Result:desktop packed full of brown, moss-like dirt. 7. Laptop stepped/sat on. Result: Broken LCD screen...quite psychedelic when turned on.
Don't forget there are two locations, the Udvar-Hazy center at Dulles and the location on the Mall.
that being said, I couldn't find it either by the keyword search.
Whenever a new area of freedom opens up, eventually government seeks to control it. We are never really free, just constantly staying one step ahead of the beaurocracy.
Most casual web site designers use whatever design tool they can get their hands on, and that's usually Frontpage sinec it's bundled with Office (I think).
I used to work for Dell's refurbishing center (while between real jobs). I had access to the customer history for the computers I repaired, and man was that ever some depressing reading. There was more than one instance of a person with a new (and broken) computer being offered a refurbished replacement, and of course the next line in the records would be "Customer is extremely irate". They seemed to be under quite a bit of pressure not to send replacement parts or systems, but instead get the computer in to the repair depot or get a service tech out.
Of course there were also some instances of people having the computer for a few months, then buying the super-high-grade warranty and then it would show up at ARC having mysteriously been dropped in a pool a week later.
The BBC actually had to go out and hunt illegitimate copies down in order to make the DVDs that they're now selling.
Not quite. The complete episodes that have been recovered were all (as far as I know) sold for broadcast in other countries, and that's where they have been trickling back from.
Also the destruction was not deliberate, it was just a result of bad storage techniques and organization. (A case of "I thought you backed it up!")
Many people are sticking with Win2K because of the draconian licensing and validation process required with WinXP. They will begin to lose a significant portion of the browser market as people realize how easy it is to get Firefox and the benefits it offers over Explorer.
Dell is really good at taking people's money and selling them someone else's product with their name on it (which is not a bad thing if the product is good-quality and well-supported). I doubt that they ever really own their inventory - they just transfer it from one place to another.

And they are still going to scrap this suck-ass telescope, right?

Because, you know, the NEXT TRACK button and ejection button are like, right next to each other.

So where is the problem here?
"I understand HOW - I do not understand WHY."
CS teaches you why. Once you understand why, picking up how any number of times becomes routine.

hmm now that you mention it...
Myself, I bet it was the Crips.

Hey, taking 20% of the market from a monopoly is a hell of a deal if you ask me.

Now we know where all those lost socks end up.
