Let's say one is travelling out of USA, and lost his/her laptop/notebook in a foreign country like Spain. Is it still a good idea to contact police departments over there?
I know the chances of recovering is very low without phoning home method, but there ways to increase the chances even if it is very tiny. Check eBay, Craig's List, Google (e.g., with serial #), etc. (including international ones if stolen outside of USA). Report it to police, where it was stolen (e.g., airport), etc. Anything else else I missed?
But how does one know that it is thiers? Sellers are not going to post serial numbers. If there are decorations (e.g., stickers), then probably remove them or use company's photographs.
I binded my Winkeys for K's Start Menu in the past, but it caused problems with VirtualBox with Windows XP Pro. SP2 guest. KDE and it fought. One time, it made my X not respond correctly. Killing failed to fix it. I had to reboot Linux/Debian.:(
I had no problems with VMware Workstation v5 with Windows 2000 SP4 guest.
Has anyone had this problem before or know how to fix it?
Would you rather me be unproductive with a soft keyboard? I can't stand those notebook/laptop and natural keyboards. I only have four fingers and no thumbs. I type much faster with clicky types.
At work and in the past from female co-workers who sit near me hate my typings since they're loud and sometimes fast. One of them instant messaged (IM'ed) me this morning:
[11:48] co-worker: what r u doing???? [11:48] co-worker: ur so loud [11:49] antd00d: bah typing duh! [11:49] antd00d: don't make me type LOUDER [11:49] co-worker: keep it down [11:49] antd00d: NO! [11:49] co-worker::-P [11:49] antd00d: haha
A few weeks ago, another one said "Stop killing/abusing your keyboard!" Bah, I say! Computer geeks love these clicky keyboards. I noticed all females non-computer geeks hate clicy keyboards. Hmm! I hate soft keyboards though and I can't type well with them.:(
A few years ago, another woman said similiar thing and suggested I get a soft keyboard. WHATEVER!!
I need to get one of those old, steel, IBM keyboards (Model M) to drive them even more annoyed. Currently I just use the cheap generic ones and from Dell. They're old too and still work. One of my college friends said that I type like a machine gun.:)

I think I will order Das KB! I can't use those natural keyboards due to lack of thumbs and four fingers on each hand.
During summer with central AC not blowing all day during the crazy heat waves (100+F degrees) and my room is like 85+ degrees with it! Including fans blowing! And of course having computers on doesn't help.:/ I know a friend who has to spend $500+ during those times. Yikes.

How were they recovered? Is it from phone software? Lost & Found? eBay?
Chairboy! :D
No problems at home and work. I wonder why other clients had problems.
Sure. Would you like to pay the lawyer fees and all that? They're not cheap!
I can prove I type faster when louder. I type hard. If I type soft, then I am slower.
What did He do to her donkey? [grin]
He probably can't get broadband where he lives though.
Sometimes, I don't look at my screen when I type. I only look after it. :D
That would be me! My college friend said the same thing about my typing being like a machine gun. :) I guess we can't work together then!

For me, ergonomic keyboards don't work due to my disabilities: small hands, four fingers, and no thumbs. :( And I love loud clicky keyboards.
What's Pespi? [grin]

From most residential AUPs, working from home is not allowed. :( That's what business packages are for.
How about a dancing egg'ed Steve Ballmer who is throwing a chair? :)
I did a while ago. :P
We want NATIVE Linux port. No WINE!
Dharma Initiative">Dharma can take care of that, especially in a tropical jungle!

Or better, use VMware, VirtualBox, dual boot, etc. Clean and easier to maintain.
So, the planes will have androids that is like Samuel Jackson?
