I don't normally reply to AC's and this one maybe trolling but PC2-6400 (DDR2-800 SDRAM) runs at 200Mhz. Also running your FSB at 400Mhz is taking you back to P-IV levels.
Did you forget about Witty Worm ? I know it didn't attack the Microsoft windows operating system but it did randomly erase parts of the hard drive until the systm crashed.
Actually I was wrong, the Mach, Xnu, Darwin, or what ever they call it kernel is in the 5.x range. Only the OS is 10. OS 9 used a completely different kernel.
I thought the same until I tried to hibernate. My Distro's hibernations writes the memory to the swap so it doesn't work. Good thing you can make a swap file now so I didn't have to shrink a partition.
Since the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is only 385 parts per million by volume the engine would have to suck huge amounts of air to get enough to run.
EBS isn't worth a shit. All it does is replay a canned warning message with the counties under the warning, and at the end of the message it says tune to your local channels for more information...
Strange, in NY State it tells the speed of the storm, the towns it is projected to pass through and the estimated time of arrival for each town.
Granted, where I live towns are huge, so it may say my town is in the path, but I won't even see it from my house.
One thing to note too, UHF stations (which what all television will be living in after the transition) require more power than VHF (usually by a magnitude of 20x - 30x) because of the frequency difference (higher frequency => more power for same output).
That is a urban legend. Binghamton NY, where I point one of my antennas at has only one station that will broadcast in UHF, the rest are VHF. This will not change after the end of analog.
Strange, I had the exact opposite experience with DTV.
Setting up an antenna for analog took me a long time to adjust to receive all the channels from a city. Even then only 1 channel was clear, the rest had snow.
With DTV, I installed 2 antennas without adjusting, I just pointed them toward the middle of the blob of light pollution and received all stations perfectly.
With analog I received 4 stations from one city and 3 stations from the second. Now with one channel carrying many signals I receive a total of 15 unique channels with more promised by stations after the change over.
There is even a 24 hour weather channel, which was the only thing I missed from cable.
um, that heat really does you a lot of good up there on the ceiling, that 60 watt desk lamp is probably too far away from you as well.
Um no, incandescent lamps also produce infrared heat which travels in a straight line and heats objects. They work great horizontally from an object you want to heat. No need to have it under it.
Even worse,
Frontiernet.net does the same thing, from a bookmark the correct URL sometimes gives the search page, and even better, the URL is number 10 on the search list. I guess you have to keep those paying customers highest no matter what.

Is there another NoScript-like extension that will allow me finer grain control than just "No JavaScript! Lockdown!" vs. "All JavaScript! Unsafe!"? I'd love to disable things like popup windows, loops, status bar changes, right click blocking, and other annoyances.
The fine control is built into Firefox, try preferences/content/JavaScript/advanced ( It may be different in the Win32 port). Also type about:config into the address bar, and search for java and javascript, you may find more options there. This will be for all sites even when scripting is enabled with no-script.
Wouldn't it make more sense to make electricity directly from the solar energy and not involve the coal at all?
Actually a lot of area's do not have enough sunny days a year to even make the CO2 reclaimer work well, let along a full scale solar power generator system. I can't find a link but I believe the area I live in, near Binghamton NY, receives about 100 sunny days a year, that reduces any solar devices output by 1/3.
Yes in NY state the bird kill is getting so bad the even environmentalist are taking notice. The flicker from the turbines in the morning and evening is starting to force people to move. I guess they won't be stopped unless the almighty deer population is affected.
Once again something is touted as zero pollution. They compress the air using electricity, which in the case of Hydro, and wind causes environmental damage, and solar which causes pollution to manufacture the solar cells.
Hence nothing me make can be called zero pollution.
Everyone is different. For myself DSL means it's harder to get the kids to bed in the summer at a decent time, and I have to wait longer to go star gazing. I personally think DST should be reversed, as in the time is standard time in the summer and moves ahead an hour for the winter. That way I might get to spend an hour home with daylight, instead of now where I get none.
I never seem to have problems with wireless in Linux, either it just works or I use Ndiswapper.
On the other hand I have had nothing but trouble with Microsoft windows. Problems range from Microsoft windows saying my WPA password is the wrong length, random disconnects, to having to repair the connection at every boot. To much hassle for me.

All of the Linux distros I've seen pack in much more than that, which seems like overkill to me. I'd also have to think that the group would find a whole new slew of anoyances with Linux as well. Especially if they can't playback music or watch videos (does YouTube work w/Linux?).
Why wouldn't YouTube work with Linux? YouTube runs on Linux. http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=youtube.c om
There is a Linux version of flash, it was behind for a while but YouTube still worked even then. I have no problems playing videos on Linux, I do have problems with friends using Microsoft Windows playing anything I send them that isn't a Microsoft Windows media player file.
so Cable is really the only option most people may have.
Really? Where I live a lot of people's only option is DSL as there is no cable. Slow DSL at that, they just reduced my speed to 320 b/sec download. Still better than dialup.
HP seems to fully support their printers and scanners in Linux. They might be a little slow with new products so it would be best to check their website to make sure.
Unfortunately HP has not created a front end for xsane and xsane just gives too many option for most users. You may want to see if there is a simpler front end for xsane that your users can handle.
I forgot about that. Malware could just create a launcher that can run a script. Noexec may still stop a binary from running. I will have to look into this further. Maybe there is no hope after all.

Otherwise all Linux distros would be at version 2.6 something, and OS X would be OS 8 something.
Ubuntu supports the server version for 5 years.

Hmmm,
I live in NY and can live fairly well on 40K. Do you mean NY City? Most peaple don't seem to know that 98% of NY State is not NY City.
