  1. Hey, I need the compose key to properly type my password! (Not really, but I am using a Sun Type 6 at work these days).

    For being parsed by RSS readers and appearing in the title bar? And that it is still considered proper to capitalize titles?

    Actually I remember reading that Windows 8 ignores certain entries in the hosts file - this was an article a while back on Slashdot.

    I quite enjoyed Vikings.

    Except commercial software has been able to do this for years. I've used quite a few static linked applications, that usually are packaged as .bin or .run (some have even been .rpm).

    FWI:A high protein diet, especially when not balanced with an extreme amount of exercise, greatly increases the risk of renal disease later in life, which is already greatly increased by being diabetic.

    I'm glad that you replied to clarify what you meant though. And yes, cholesterol is a concern, depending on the types you are consuming, and once again, activity level is a key component of the equation. My body seems to not discriminate what it's burning ( 10% body fat, normal protein levels) so I have to balance my diet carefully, or I suffer hypoglycemic reactions when doing activities (lawn mowing, lifting, driving to work, etc). And for me, nothing is quite as scary as the low blood sugar feel, especially when you start to lose focus.

    Except you can install it on the system unlimited times, and on any system you own. Yeah. Just like activation.

    I interpreted him to be claiming that carb reduction/elimination would be a "cure" for Type 1. I too suffer from T1, and keep my meals to ~45-60g carbohydrates (doctor's orders originally). Just because you can eat more and take more insulin doesn't mean it's the best idea. And advocating just a primarily protein or fat diet ignores the risks that go with them. The body needs balance, which the OP seemed to ignore.

    And thus someone doesn't understand Type 1.

    Hey - I really liked KDE 3.5. Although I'm surprised to see GNOME 3.6 in there.

    Last I checked (which was kernel 2.6.18 IIRC) HFS+ was supported by the kernel, but only if journaling was off.

    I'm going to assume it's a Tualtin P3? As long as it doesn't have the Intel graphics you should be running fine. I've got a Dell C400 that I use as a netbook (P3 1.2GHz, 1GB RAM) that does great until something tries to use the GPU (which also excludes modern Linux. Still runing RHEL 5 on that thing).

    Depends on your area. I currently have 15/2 Mb/s D/U, and that's being phased out for 50/25 (a friend of mine has 150/65, and is probably going to jump to 300 soon).

    Kernel 2.4 is a completely different beast then version >= 2.6.0. That was why the version went from 2.4 to 2.6 - back then the second number incremented for super major changes.

    I have to agree with that - I loved the keyboards on my Latitude D610 and C400, and on Inspiron 7500, 8000, and 8100.

    That's what my Saturn says too (I have a 95 SL1 and my other car is an 88 Mustang LX). I use the manual gears for the occasional mountain trips, and for those pesky occasions the brakes don't work right.

    Mine's a little beefier then that - 1.2GHz Pentium III-M, 1GB RAM, and an 80GB HDD (ok, it had a 40 in it when I got it, but still). RAM and graphics are definatly better on the S4 (PC-133 and an Intel i845....Linux doesn't even support the i8xx series anymore).
