I've always liked Compaqs. I had one with a busted LCD that I actually full-on stomped on. It kept ticking, after a badblocks. It was a much older model, a 486 with 16 megs running 2.0 kernels, but I managed uptimes of over a year (I wrote a kernel module to patch the ptrace vulnerability on the fly, and some firewall rules took care of most of the rest:-)).
I currently have a Toshiba Satellite (for some reason) and a pre-Lenovo Thinkpad A20m, and my girlfriend has a Compaq. The Thinkpad and the Compaq are pretty solid. I'll let you know about the Satellite.:-)
As far as getting something that isn't made in China, I'd say, offhand: you're screwed.
Geez. At least you let Canada off relatively easy. Russians get kicked in the face, Americans get punched in the balls... wait, wouldn't that be easier the other way around?
I say you kick the Americans in the face and punch the Russians in the balls...:D
It's nice to see that Putin is trying to bring back the good old times of the Cold War, MAD and Europe as ground zero for Russia's battle for world supremacy. Anyone else read that and immediately think of MAD Magazine?
In fact, to make it work with HIV, they had to cheat and add tags to the HIV sequence. So what happens when they figure out how to automate the process of adding tags to the HIV sequence?
Lucas, by the way, says he is readying "Clone Wars," an animated series for TV that's derived from "Star Wars." Many "Star Wars" characters appear in "Clone Wars," but voiced by other actors. Okay, so, Spiderman 3 is out, but he's "readying" Clone Wars? Is there a new version of the toon coming out, or what?
You do get to have a defense. It's even a seperate command in the Air Force. I believe it's the JAG for sailors and Marines.
Thing is, the available punishments go up as you go towards a general court martial. A General can impose the death penatly if the crime warrents it. Can't you work your way up? If they keep judging you guilty, you eventually get to stand a general court martial, if you keep refusing the verdict? And I believe, at least for Marines, you can refuse summary courts martial, except aboard ship. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Any reboots for patches done late at night so no one sees them and viola.... users NEVER complain about network access. Unless late at night in your time zone is late in the afternoon in the users timezone. Or the user is type of person who likes to answer his mail from home at 1.30 AM. Ten points if you have a load balancer, twenty if you take it out of the rotation to upgrade it, fifty if you automate it. Two million if you have a test site.
Chuck Norris is sixty-seven. He's probably more interested in Viagra/Geritol cocktails than kryptonite. He's Chuck Norris. He probably secretes it naturally.
If that is so, they why don't they consider the possibility that this evidence actually could point to the existence of God? Ockham's razor be damned, I guess.
Occam's razor could also go the other way. How complicated would you have to get to explain god? Everything just happening by chance seems less complex to me.

Obviously, the laptop is on fire.

Unless I'm already infected. OH MY GOD, IT'S LIKE SUPER-AIDS!
At least they're not doing it themselves... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipatoni
Hey, whatever it takes to improve wireless signal...
Guh. And he'll replace all the lightsabers with walkie-talkies.
(Yes, I know it was Spielberg.)
I wish it was more common practice.
Not sure how I feel about that getting modded down as a troll.
LOOK! A 7-DIGIT UID!
I feel like I should mention that I started doing innerHTML because that's what I saw Google doing.
Hmm. I just do or and document.getElementById('whatever').innerHTML = "...";
Am I wrong?
Cue the quantum physics geeks...
