If I had them, I'd mod you up. I've played around with laptop LCD panels before and never even got off the ground. I know this is impossible unless you drop a crapload of cash into an ADC and somehow tweak it to work with the panel. By far NOT an easy thing to do.
Mandrake would have my vote: mp3 and DVD playback work out-of-the-box.
Sorry, but I had to download libdvdcss to get DVD playback working. Maybe you are using a 10.x distro... But in 9.2, I had to do some downloading to watch my movies.

A bit taller than 16 feet, my friend. Just a bit.
I hear this come up a lot these days: "Ethanol is wildly inefficient," but I see nothing to back it up. Doing some quick research yields some wildly different results. Can you list some sources, maybe a study or two, that can back this claim up? I am very curious as to find out just how (in)efficient this stuff actually is.
I am not a robot scientist, but I would think that if you were to get to the point of playing around with with mapping where the robot is at, you should probably set up 3 simple transponders that you can "ping" from the robot. This should be enough for you to get a pretty good idea of where you are at in the yard. You could possibly even cut it down to 2 transponders if you can differentiate between the two. This could also be useful for transmitting remote commands to the robot (eg: it looks like it's going to rain... back into the garage!)
Using a system like this could also help you determine when the robot gets stuck. If the wheels are turning and we're going nowhere, then save fuel and power down.
A nice idea, but that would requrie Microsoft collaborating with a new IP standard to happen. And even then, they are already developing their method of trusted computing...
I know it's a shady method, but why not write a spyware app that broadcasts a computer as "tainted". The program would keep track of how long it has been installed, and not broadcast this "flag" until a set time has passed. These addresses could be kept on a centralized server. The only pain would be dynamic IP addresses...
I copy my CDs to listen to in my truck. I simply refuse to leave hundreds of dollars worth of CDs in my vehicle just to be stolen. Just last year, a coworker of mine had her car broken into. All they took was her binder of CDs. I think she said it was about $300 worth of CDs.
Now, if this scheme somehow puts a limit on how many times I can dupe a disc, what if my copies keep getting stolen/scratched/go bad? It has been proven that CD-Rs don't have an infinate lifetime. Am I going to have to go buy another disc to get the "licence" to burn X more copies? Hell NO!
As redundant.
As someone else has pointed out, they just copied and pasted someone else's post. Honestly, finding an origional opinion is getting harder and harder these days...
I think a better word would be disconnecting the battery, not disgharging it. I don't think shorting out a battery is very good for it. Current is bad, yes. But so is acid from blown-out batteries.
Put them on a dremel (use a sanding drum) and spin them as fast as they go. I hear that the CDs will fly apart at a fast enough rpm, but I've never been able to do it with a 10krpm dremel. They do roll away *quite* fast when they do come off of the sanding drum. Hitting them against bricks at that speed does shatter them, if you really want to see some schrapnel.:)
2.6 now looks for/etc/modprobe.conf instead of/etc/modules. Try copying modules to modprobe.conf, or maybe even make a symbolic link if you switch between kernels often.

4/8"... ahh yes, 1/2". And yes, I am anal-retentive. :)

Ever hear that you only see the top 10% of an iceburg? I assume that this lake is below sea level...
Yes, we like to call that the slashdot effect around here.

One could have some real fun with this stuff.
Ok then, call me stupid, but... Where can this contract be found that I'm agreeing to? Am I not allowed to read it first?

Guess the "oops" department is right on track today...

I think that by law, they can't use your Soc Sec number (or any part of it) to identify you. They'd better get to changing that soon. :)
Linux does what Microsoft wants?
What is this world coming to!?

The 2.6 kernel looks for /etc/modprobe.conf, instead of the old /etc/modules.conf
Hope this helps. It took me a good few hours to track down why my ethernet card driver wasn't loading on boot.
