Velcro strips to bundle the cables work quite well (IMHO). The desk furniture I use (ikea) has room between the desk frame and the surface to thread the velcro strips through to hold it close under the desk.
I've used velcro in racks too -- very convenient when you are constantly changing cabling.
Any chance that the ath5k driver will be fixed for the Acer Aspire One (8.9")? It's getting better -- the machine no longer hangs with the capslock led flashing..:) But updating to the RC and attempting to do large transfers still results in the occasional buffer corruption (invalid CRCs).
Have they solved the problems of wired networking on the AAO? Since they broke it with a patched up Intrepid (though the original unpatched Intrepid works).
My biggest complaint with KDE4.x is the loss of support for multiple X screens. My configuration is 3 monitiors on 2 NVidia cards. 2 of the monitors are configured as XScreen 0 with TwinView, and the other is on the second card configured as XScreen 1. KDE 3.5 handled this perfectly and I had the desktop spread across all 3 monitors. KDE 4.X doesn't have support for multiple XScreens (and last time I looked nobody was working on it).
It's not like we're located close to Downtown Galaxy. We live out on the edge. There's probably some galactic equivalent of AT&T or Comcast that is telling everyone else "We'll be providing them with service 'soon'. So our monopoly is justified."
Either that or the installer showed up and we were too busy/unaware to answer the door. So they said they'd be back later.
With the economy the way it is our representatives in congress need to earn a living! So clearly the RIAA can score big since they've got deep pockets.
The problem I have is that the eval version only has x86 and ARM support. I'm more interested in using it for 68k.

I used to use IDAPro a lot -- but then they went to the new pricing model which increased the cost dramatically. So while it is a great product it really isn't affordable for people that don't have a corporate expense account.
I wonder if the employment contract BG signed with Microsoft had the usual clause of "everything you've previously thought of, are currently thinking of, or will think of belongs to us" ?
PLATO had a game/training program called "Bugs and Drugs". It was a 2D dungeon game where you ran into various organisms and had to prescribe the correct medicine to kill them. The best group to be a member of was the Bedpan Commandos.
It was written back in 1978 by Mike Gorback, Dave Tanaka and Paul Alfille.
I've owned an Aeron for several years. I used to sit in it for 8 to 10 hours a day working. After a couple of years I started experiencing the symptoms of RLS. Very annoying. I went to docs for the usual diagnostics/drugs. Nothing really helped.
One day my wife was talking to the manager of a Relax The Back store and my RLS came up. Upon hearing that I used an Aeron chair he said "That could be the problem. The way the front area of the chair where the legs go over is designed can cause problems with circulation and such." (I heard this second hand from my wife). I switched to a more traditional office chair. Within a month my RLS symptoms were gone.
So no scientific proof and I haven't felt like switching back to see the Aeron was the problem. But I'm a lot happier now.
And who would the "proper authority" be in this case? His management doesn't care.
Apparently PCI Compliance doesn't allow for input from the "little people" -- or would someone care to post a link that allows for submitting information to them?
An example is the defibrillator. It used to be that only medical professionals were able to purchase/use them. Now there are several such as the Phillips HeartStart that are sold on Amazon. The units are designed so that the average idiot can use them. Slap the pads on the victim's chest, hit the big button, and the unit figures out if the victim needs a shock, and if so gives it. Otherwise it doesn't.
Slashdot Mirror
Did they fix the ability to specify a geometry when starting an app (like Konsole) AND have it honored?
In 4.2 you could specify it, but it was ignored.

As I understand it they went to FISA to get a retroactive warrant. A nice little provision of the law.

I got in trouble for following the despair.com naming scheme for our test servers:
failure ...
crash
burnout
apathy
mistake
stupidity
I thought the test reports were entertaining. Management not so much.

Found stamped on the bottom.
Why not just store it in a couple of locked cache lines?
As the previous author mentioned these cards are available on ebay.de but it appears nobody is listing them in the US.
Does anyone know of a source for them (at a reasonable price) in the US?
Is there a spice model available?
If you want to make things more interesting for the sysadmin you can always set a time bomb..

Farscape covered this at the end. Just ask John Crichton.

Everybody seems to do Light Cycles. There are 3 other games in the arcade game - Grid Bugs, Tanks and MCP Cone. Anybody doing an update of those?
So you put on a blacked out helmet and the prof shoots you with a taser which you try to block with a staff?
