How about just not doing anything wrong in the first place and putting some belife in the judicial system, im not sure about you yanks, but i know that i generally trust the judicial system over here in the good ol' UK.
Hell, if they are searching me im pleased i dont know about it, as if i did, and i was some guy planning to blow my self up inside a place with lots of other people, i know i would try alot damn harder to NOT let them know im going to.
I dont move it for a few weeks or months, infact, i've got though two pc's in the time i've had one desk. So i've added more cables and taken very few away. Plus they are running up the side of the desk which i cant see.
Cheers for the tips guys, gone for the blink system tray icon.
Btw this is in linux not windows, but im not exactly pro at this yet;) Ill see how it goes for awhile and if it doesn't work ill look for some other fix.
Ek the internet is evil. or is it just accruate?

Anyone concidered that people have always been addicted to this stuff (blogging is just online voicing of opinions which is pretty much the same as people adicited to writing into magizines (hell i was addicted to writing into a page which displayed on teletext at one point)), its just now that its all digital and online, its far far eaiser to gauge numbers than ever before.
Just pretty much like however they survey anything, and then get a "real" number from somewhere else, the "real" number of people effected by something is always far higher than any survey has ever said. This is party due to facts like people like to questionaires and other forms of monitoring dont always catch people who are out of the system (1.5million homeless in london anyone;?).
The true geeks tool. I have 2x4plug powerstrips behind my desk, this has my monitor and pc plugged in then many more others.
I have just ran these altogether around the back of my desk, and coming up the side. Then i've banged aload of masking tape over the lot, holding it all perfectly in place. I can't charge everything at the same time, but i never normally need to.
however, i haven't found how to stop the windows stealing focus when they first spawn (i.e. someone talks for the first time in a long time) as this interferes with UT2004. Not sure if its Ut's or gaims fault (no other games have such a big problem, but they aren't full screen.
Oh and im lazy, how do i use google talk with gaim?
I prefer audioscrobbler.com (not for those afraid of having stuff logged).
It has a small opensource client which runs in lots of mp3 players, it sends the info of the songs to their database giving you a massive list of which songs you listen to etc etc and reccomends more etc.
Sony hired someone to stop people doing the dirty with their cds. What happened was they got someone (or some company) who either dont have ethics or morals, or are just plain dumb and gave sony exactly what they wanted. And now sony are paying the price.

Well i just did...
# make="cdinstall" emerge -av ut2004
It checked for the cd in the cd drive, and copied the files over, according to the ebuild. It then informs me that i must edit a file to prove i've read the elua (remove the #read from the bottom) and i may play...
six months later there is a update, scary times, what should i do? Oh yeah, update silly:
# emerge sync && emerge -auD world
wow, it updated ut2004 package for me:o AND it still works!:o WOW! So hard to install linux packages, it makes me almost cry..... Oh and it installed all the dep's too, i love gentoo:D
Why on earth did they bother asking us what we think at the end of the artical, i mean how many of us actually know exactly what this would mean. Yes the site explains it but still to most slashdotters, its irrevent what we think should happen.
Everyone sees windows bugs, and half the time there is a patch somewhere, but no one has applied it etc. Admins ARE the problem, sack them and give me a job!
Well, i pay *2.50 (not sure what this is in dollars) when i go to the cinema with my girlfriend, we get one ticket free (indicating the LOW) price, so i wouldn't really pay more than this.
"As Lost Circuits points out, power consumption worldwide has been exploding as more CPUs come online and the CPU power requirements increase so a significant power reduction will reduce the burden on electrical grids everywhere."
Erm? As more cpus? Or cpus with stupidly high power usage.
Someone once told me that 7/10ths of the world doesn't have a phone line, let alone a computer. Now your telling me that the power usage of the world has increased due to all these people getting computers? I seriously doubt it.
How about all these people are finally getting electric to their houses? They finally have eletric kettles, ovens, irons, microwaves...
Im not saying that a lower usage cpu wouldn't make a difference, but im saying its going to make a very small difference compared to somethings.
Plus its going to be a LONG while before we see any difference. The only chips really to take the pi££ when looking at powerusage are the top end P4s, not like teh A64s etc are as bad as these?
As newer low powerchips are already out i doubt the p4's are going to make much of a impact either way.

Actually i had a look at this patch, and all it "actually" does is stop the shutdown process for 3 seconds.

MASKING TAPE!

Works for me even if it does look crap!
This is another WOOP for gaim.

Well my GF plays nintendogs wirelessly with her supervisor? Is this some form of wireless which isn't WiFi?
I haven't looked at the specs in the manual or anything, so i have no idea?

Anyone realised its not a case of the world getting warmer or colder. its a case of climate changing.
The poor old UK will sink, the equators are going to cool down, while the artic is going to warm up. Looks like this bet was fixed after all.
