Agreed. I get home from work at 6pm and don't have to plugin til between 11 and midnight.
(for reference I'm on an IBM Thinkpad R40)
Sure better battery life would be good, but 5.5 hours is longer than most flights, bus rides, etc.
You're exactly right. For $40 CDN (pennies american) I have a 30 gig external 2.5" drive that I can store any driver, software package, patch, update, etc on.
Saves me a lot of time at client sites because I don't have to download anything while I'm there.
If any one of those files becomes corrupt due to bad sectors its no big deal, and just forces me to download it off the net.
I've been using the same drive consistently for 3 months now and have never had a problem with it. Obviously I'm not going to store my email or my porn collection on it tho.
I work for a tech company and we are always having "failed" laptop drives come through. Run a lowlevel format on them, and then throw them into a 2.5" enclosure. Works great as long as you don't mind the fact that your data could become corrupt at any time.
has a really good selection. If you're looking at USB enclosures, make sure you get one that either has an external power supply, or has a second USB/ ps2 connector to draw power when you're not on a powered USB hub or are on an older laptop.
The hot keys are configured for the Linux operating system and desktop applications, simplifying actions such as cutting, copying and pasting text, and moving between Web pages.
Isn't this just as effective as using xkbd with any dell/logitec/etc keyboard that has hotkeys?

yes but you most likely have to pay for each outgoing message that is sent, regardless of the fact that you think you're only sending one.
this looks similar to stumbleupon which "lets you channel-surf pages recommended by friends and peers"
who the heck has more than five err.. yeah.. thats a really good point, this will really help me easily let my fans know where i'm going.
