actually having one kid and another on the way I can say that while kids do cost money, you save a bunch because you no longer go out to eat, ever, or go to movies...
Not with the stock SuSE 8.2 KDE and Konquor. All you get is an icon that looks like a piece of film (perhaps because they are XviD?).
Even if it did, the boy would has an easier time picking 'james and the giant peach' if the icon is a picture of James, than if it is some illegible (he's only three and cant read) movie title.
It's sort of funny....

reading other's comments that dis the author for merely dumbing KDE down to a kiosk... I presume those folks don't have kids. My son LONGS for the day he can 'use' a computer. He struggles with lack of freedom he sees in having to ask for help in using the computer (when his parents do not).
It's important to allow toddlers the illusion of freedom, it helps reenforce the idea that curiosity can lead to great things.
I've changed the icons on movies my Son likes to watch to images he associates with the movie.
I've already set the defaults in Mplayer to be compatible with the TV, so when he needs only click on icons to navigate to the movies he wants to watch...
I did after getting burned buying an LCIII before I got the memo they wouldn't support whatever bus they were using, effectively killing any possiblity of upgrading the sorry-assed thing.
As SuSE is an alternative OS, not a previous version, you analogy is incorect.
It has been my experience that SuSE installs on a wider range of hardware than RedHat... I have no explanation as to why this may be the case, but that is my experience.
I'm not in IT either, but aren't they at the forefront of that whole 'don't buy the hardware, buy the service' movement that has been taking off in recent years?
I knew a guy who lived in OH and commuted to Manhattan to cut hair part time in the village.
He claimed to make a lot of money, and was actually quite happy... I personally think he was running dope on the side, though, so what the hell do I know?
I've thought about making wooden cases, but my concern is that there may be a problem with the wood expanding more than metal when it heats up, causing cracks inthe MB...

after this writeup in cnnfn, I'd think twice about that one bubba... He might end up getting paid about as much as he already has.
Nah, they were probrably downloading textbooks because the 'no child left behind' act took all their money away to buy physical ones.
How did you get all of that from the article posted?

at 10% interest, compounded monthly over 14 years, he'd have to be putting away $38,483/month after taxes to accumulate $14M.

dude, you could have just filled out the form included in the original post... you didn't have to humiliate the guy.

Oh... Right, he favors a mac... never mind.
Consider this quote:
NEC is also developing a recharger for the battery that can be used at home
if it was electricity, wouldn't the creation of a recharger be trivial?
Most 'random' number generators are actually pseudo-random numbers. And actually have a pattern.
or is he just the 'friend' of this guy?

Try SuSE next time...

yeah, we'd better start shorting those stocks, since it's only going to create yet another glut in bandwidth.
It was a joke How in the world could boycotting linux in anyway affect SCOs cashflow?! it's free, you ninny.
His schedule was two weeks in NY living in a rent controlled apt., then two weeks in the suburbs of Columbus, OH with the wife.
He'd make the commute in this POS tan dodge caravan that he'd put something like 400K miles on...

Am I nuts?
