With the possibility of public schools handing out tax dollars to students. As it is, I don't go to public school or have any kids and don't think I have any business paying for it. As it is, most public schools spend over $10,000 a year on each student. For around half that, you could give a child a quality private education. As with most things, if you want to pay more and get worse results, get the government involved.
I'm usually the first to spot problems like that. I definitely know the difference between lose/loose and there/their/they're but stuff still slips through sometimes. Are you interested in a full-time position checking my posts?
and I don't care where it comes from, is outside, daytime maps. To be sure our 4 survivors didn't sleep all day and only make a run for the next safehouse at night! I want to fend off a horde in the broad daylight. I want a well-lit look at the face of a Tank. I want to see zombie flesh rotting in the sun!
I didn't think it was worth $50 either. I waited and scored it one weekend when it was half off. After playing it daily since then, it's worth every penny of that $50 to me.
It's the only game I've liked since Counter Strike Source and I bought DODS and TF2 and demo'ed COD4 because that's what the same crowd seemed to have moved on to playing.
I hated all 3 of those other games. L4D feels and moves almost identical to CSS. Everything in it feels natural to anybody who's played CSS before. Hopefully one day you'll score a copy someday. I'm sure you'll like it.
those...that were actually doing the work couldn't do 'the right thing' because it would only screw them within a couple of years because managers and politicians up stream are so broken and stupid that they reward wastefulness and punish efficiency.
It's not just IT. Your description matches the maintenance shop I work in as a carpenter. In the few weeks before July 1st when our fiscal budget starts over we buy hacks of plywood and 2x4s, cases of lights, etc. just so we don't loose that money the next year.
I've used it before. I'll check the latest version out again though. The functionality of EeeCtl is beyond that of the standard range of most hardware control. http://cpp.in/dev/eeectl There is a setting that makes the backlight up to twice as bright as normal.
to Linux on my Eee if there was a program like EeeCtl for Linux that would let me make the screen ultra-bright when I use it outside. I don't think I'd use the crappy factory Xandros, but most other distros don't boot nearly as quickly as it does.
(And it boots only slightly slower than XP which is only slightly slower than Windows 7, which is what I'm running now.)
It is probably "power users" who are returning these

Power users are putting Windows and other distros on them and getting them to do tricks the manufacturers wish they had thought of.
No, the people who are returning them are probably confounded as to why the unit came with a DVD but no DVD drive. Or they spend 10 minutes squinting at the small screen and can't stand it anymore.
That said, my Eee 4G 701 is running XP SP3, goes everywhere I do and gets used daily.
I hate using a "Start" button. I like everything I use regularly to be on the desktop. Being able to add and remove desktop shortcuts would be nice, wouldn't it? You can't do it with an Eee running Linux. (Okay, you can with a text editor, which should never be necessary to modify a GUI, or a third-party program you have to download from an unverified source outside of ASUS.)
Every distro that comes out has the same tag line. *NEW* Linux! Easy to use, just like Windows, for all ages, etc.
What it boils down to is the fact that the stuff people want by default is rarely included or impossible to include: iTunes, DVD playback, ATI/nVidia drivers, etc.
It won't be on the shelf at Best Buy. If MS had any interest in something like this, every WalMart would be selling copies of Windows for Legacy PCs. It will, I'm sure, be available online at a site that rhymes with "riot day". Heh heh.

Everybody had problems back in the 90s when MS first integrated IE into the OS. I've never gotten a virus from Java or Flash.
The last time MS gave a browser the ability to run applications.
for their TF2 customers. Too bad us L4D players have been hung out to dry.

Absolutely not. The solution for DRM is not other DRM. Content creators must wrap their heads around but two facts:
1. Customers pay
2. Pirates don't
When you make life difficult for your legitimate customers, they too will leave.
On Bittorrent and cracked well before it's released.
That spams refresh. And everything will be okay. Providers make too much money keeping us online. Market forces will take care of things.
Exploded with joy when I finally got my modem to work in Mandrake 3.
It's certainly not a big truck.

I saw him punching a kitten in the throat once.
Can't terrorists just blow up the blurs?

You sort of have a point, but I don't think you've ever actually used the bastardized version of Xandros that comes on an Eee.
Huh. I wasn't aware of all that. And this is the same Ken who created Ken's Labyrinth, no?
Build code is from Duke Nukem 3D, which has nothing to do with the Doom games.
