  1. They are SO SLOW... on The End of a Floppy Era · · Score: 1

    I remeber when i had to use a boot disk when i had Win98se. First you started up and nothing but a blinking cursor showed up, and you wonder if somethig went wrong. Then it would say Windows is starting up, 3 years later it would ask you if you wanted to install CD-ROM support, if you did you would have to spend another lifetime at a black screen.

    Actually if you notice the same applys to electric tooth brush heads. Lets say you but the Super CrossAction brush for $7, with a replacable head. The Super Dupper CrossAction Plus heads cost $9 for a pack of 2. The more expensive heads will fit on the less expensive motor. So theres no need to buy the more expensive motor.

  18. I might not be old enough to understand this but.. on German Railways To Get WLAN RailNet · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This might possibly play out the same way the widespread use of cell phones did. If you have a cell phone you are expected to be reachable and therefore maybe called upon more often "just incase". Once everyone gets a cell phone everyone is called upon more often. Now if the company knows you have Internet access on the train and notice an increase in your productivity. Do you think they may expect more of you?

    Unless its for a class about Linux, or your plan on teaching the kids Linux its best to stick with Mac for elemantary students and Windows for secondary ones. One problem Linux does have is that its written fro geeks by geeks and although some Microsoft programs are buggy and what not the reason they cost $ is because MS researches the best way to buid a interface.
