His desktop crashed, I'd venture to guess that the kernal was still running and ctrl-alt-backspace would have put him back in without rebooting, and of course if he is at runlevel5 he'll be thrown right back into x-windows.
That's a pretty funny story, I've got one similar, I used to have a lot of trouble getting up for school and regular alarms just wouldn't do it for me, So i stole the smoke alarm from the living area and hooked it up using the coffee how-to to my parallel port. But the dorms frequently had brown outs and I later got in trouble from the RA when my 'alarm-clock' made a big ruckus with-out someone to turn it off. (also for steeling the smoke-alarm) (I didn't get in trouble at first because i jumped up to turn it off in the morning)
Side-note, it is near impossible to sleep through or ignore a smoke-alarm, which quelched my initial fear of desenitising myself to the noise and ignoring it in a real fire.:)
Much better would be to take a look at the coffe-howto on linux.org. Using the simple diagram I was able to turn off and on all the appliances in my home.
May or may not be safe if you're not an electrician. Just go to home depot and get a couple electrical sockets and mounts then wire the relay(always open) to the sockets. Not to difficult, relays are the most expensive part, 20 a pop at radio shack, but 3 - 10 bucks at one of those mom and pop electrical parts resellers.
Wasn't a difficult project, but don't forget the diode between your relay and parallel port. It'll work without it but there's a small chance of making your mobo become black and smelly (parts of it anyways)

Similar to the way that an Athlon 1600+ is faster than an older 1600mhz Tbird, the VIA C3 processors are nowhere near as fast as equivalently clocked Pentiums or Athlons. I'm highly skeptical that a 900mhz C3 is close to the performance of a 900mhz Crusoe, which by most accounts performs as you would expect a near-1ghz processor to do.
Good point, but for the $100 bucks it costs for an 800 mhz (optional fanless config), VIA mini-itx make a great super small desktop system (for non-gamers) They've also got great linux support and tv-out works great with RH pschye. Also for around $300 you can get a complete mini-itx system including case, hd, cdrom and memory, I'd say these systems would work as more than just hobbyists' toys. Seems like these would make great workstation and desktop boxes.
So by the time senior year came around I began looking for a "real" job. I checked all the papers, company websites, monster, etc. and realized that there really are NO good jobs out there for biologists.
May be a little OT, but, I think there is a moral to this quote. When deciding on a career path, take some of the steps you would to land a job after you get a degree to get a better feel for the field.

What, ask everyone on the sidewalk if they want to buy your old network cards/computer parts and if they like long, moonlit walks on the beach? Seems silly to me. I don't think it's a justification at all, and it seems to me that this technology *would* get people talking!
If you're telling o-s programmers how to get jobs and their prospective employers how to find them (and they both end up reading the article) just skip all the advice and give them a street address of a mall they can get together at.:)
I think we're better off improving the features (like removing pop-up adds, etc...) than to try to squeak out another.01seconds to render the pictures on a screen.
I think we should do both, but the latter doesn't need a front page post on/.
Wish I could offer some advice, but it worked immediately after compile for me. Although this was a while ago that i got it working. Maybe try an older version. But, even better than compiling, if you're in RH try rpmfind.com and test a few different versions.
I'll definitely buy one if it hits the store shelves, just hope they offer a left handed version, the drawing in one of the links actually shows a left handed device.
Sorry to ask an off-topic question, but-- on my personal info page, it very recently stopped giving a number for my karma and replaced it with the much less exacting "positive".
I'm asking you because your sig looks like my info page now.
Any chance you'd let us use them even though you hate the idea?? Great, thanks.
Really weird how many people have mentioned that people who look silly in public should have their ass kicked. That's some open minded shit.
I read a post from some AC marked as a troll about his miserable life, sounded like he had OCD, lived in mom's basement, had to be in front of his computer as much as possible to try for first post. With a wearable comp he'd be able to go to the park!:)
but seriously though, I have a pair of AV-in eye-phones and they're great for laying in bed watching a movie or playing video games with, but what i think would be really cool is a one of those daeyang E&C 4500vp eye-phones a cappacino computer and keyboard (happy-hacker size that splits in half) you could fit a desktop type useable system in a freakin' lunch box! Even if you don't wear it on the subway, it'd be nice to have a useable/portable computer display.
I'm not suggesting a law be made that let white middle class males and grandma's be excluded from airport search.
While my last comment was admittedly half-baked, I do find it frustrating that a mother and her to very young children (they were black, if that matters or is relevant) would be subject to the random search. Just what the fuck ARE the terms for their supposedly random search?? Like I guessed in my previous comment, I don't think the idea is (pick people at random to decrease security holes) I'd rather guess it was (pick some people who couldn't possibly be terrorists and everyone who does look like a terrorist in an effort to avoid heat from minority rights groups). But that's purely a assumption, which is the reason I pointed out that my last post was half-baked. Still, If you were to ask me if over politicly correct policy (a result of a wave of frivolous lawsuits) was bad, my answer would be yes.
Regardless, I'm a young (21) white male, so I have absolutely no say in this matter. I do believe my statement but for the aformentioned reason, my view has very little credibility (for good reasons). I agree with your point as well; my last comment was not intended to be inflamatory.
I don't know, I can think of one example where some terrorist profilling would make things a little more sane. After the twin tower thing I flew up to see my dad in NC, just about everyone in the line at the security gates was being checked. It was like trying to go through customs coming from Columbia. Specifically I saw a young white woman holding a toddler in one arm opening up her bag for some jackass security attendant with the all while trying to tend to an upset baby in a stroller next to her. I'm all for racial, gender, sexual preference equality, but has an expectant mother or an little old grandma or teenage girl EVER hijacked a plane or commited an act of terrorism?! I'm only assuming of course that many of those types of people that I saw being checked, were checked because of politically correct reasons.( For all i know the security guy could have seen loads of C4 peeking out of the mother's baby's anus. )
Maybe at the very least we should be able to return a product for refund if you don't agree to the EULA. Only problem is it'd open another door for abuse by pirates. e.g. Getting money back, instead of in-store-credit after doing a 'Burn-N-Return'. (just because i've gone so far as coining a term for buying a game, then copying and returning it doesn't mean i've done it!.. much.:)
Pretty cool looking, I think it's a shame that the 'cityscape' isn't visible from the 'bay window beside the dining table' (hypothetical, I haven't been in this man's house.:) The view is a little less impressive coming from the inside of a homely looking kitchen window. (No disrespect!, I'm currently living at home with my mother after losing my job in the i-net/.com debacle, So I guess I don't have room to talk about living in a classy place:)
I wonder who actually starting calling "prohibited copiers", pirtates. I mean, if it wasn't them, they sure took it on as their own. Just go to any 'warez' site and witness a plethora of silly pirate parefenalia(sp?). Well, i've heard, anyways:)
Not that I personally care but I noticed this lead in to the forum discussion on booth babes -- What happens to these women borders on prostitution and solicitation in some cases... In several cases, drunken and stinking men would come up and hug them, grab their [expletive], or just try to grope or kiss them without so much as asking. Men wearing wedding rings for crissake would give these women hotel room numbers, phone numbers, and keys! All this on top of long days wearing next to nothing, having few (if any) breaks, and being paid cash or check as they walked out the door at the end of the conference.
And yet they've got a whole big gallery of them to slobber over?
I'm just guessing about the latter though, it was/.'ed into oblivion:)
Slashdot Mirror
What we need is a nice looking gnutella
:::googling right now:::
client for windows that looks like napster
and kazaa. That'd make the gnutella network
a lot more useful.
Is there anything like this out there?
I haven't heard of the game either, but there happens to be a link to a description of the game right above your post,.. how handy.
The Bandits game looks kind of cool, since when did a linux user care what's in some mainstream windows centric pc gaming magazine?

"Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody is watching you."
The philosopher who asked if trees make noise when noone's around to percieve it would probably think there's no such thing as integrity.
