  1. Re:Why not nvidia? on LinuxCertified LC2430 Laptop Review · · Score: 1

    Hp pavilion zd7000 is customizable with a Gfx go5700 128mb ddr2 dedicated video ram. I actually bought one for an ingeneer friend (it runs autocad2005 like a charm).

    As for Linux compatibility, Knoppix runs nice on it, so I guess other distros should too.

    You will have to pay the M$ poll tax though.

    The USA are self-destructing. Let them do it, the world will be a better place. Look at history, and tell me the fate of all militaro-industrial complexes.

  3. the only truly geeky answer on Home Defense, Geek Style? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why don't you build yourself a vomit-inducing microwave gun? Or play a diarrhea-inducing infrasound mp3 using a motion-controlled mp3 server? There are loads of useful non-lethal options to explore, some of them may be illegal though.

    Blast the thief with a vomit-inducing dose of microwaves. I'm sure there must be a way to build one of those.

    A sign that says "automatic GPS tracking System installed" on the vehicle.
    A visible camera (fake, to cut costs).
    An exploding permanent dye capsule.
    A vicious dog

    I had the same problem. I had a "legit" copy and a "legit" key. But When I tried to do the udates, Microsoft refused to let me have them...

    then I checked the date on the box...it was set to 2005. Changed it back to the right date in 2004 and "voila" all updates flowed right into my box...
