I've been thinking of something along the lines of a mini-ITX board along with a G4 Cube casing. The only real problem seems to be to find an external PSU powerful enough.
No, no, no. It should obviously be "Bong". And while they're at it, maybe change to logo to some form of star shaped leaf.
I think that really would raise Microsofts credibility.
I too would put in a word for the NSLU. The Sheevaplug is obviously superior if you can get hold of it, but the NSLU doesn't do a bad job at all. I have one running Debian Lenny on a 1TB drive with lighttpd, rtorrent, nfs etc. Works like a charm unless you have like a dozen torrents running.
More like put him out of business, who needs illusionists when you can make your car disappear by yourself. Which also would make this the perfect thing for insurance fraud.
Funny thing is that I attended a presentation on robots today, at which this was one of the ones they talked (a little) about.
And now they're being canceled.
Must be cosmic irony at work, because I'd really want one.
Huh? Can't speak for Vista, but XP normally feels a lot more responsive than my default (GNOME) window manager. But then again, the last time I tried KDE 4.X it ended in disaster and agony, so you might be on to something.
The only two advantages it has over other similar notebooks is that it a) looks good, and b) runs OS X. But with those specs I'd rather get a Lenovo X61 or Panasonic W7. And integrated battery? Come on, it's not a freaking wrist watch, even if it's thin enough to be one.
Scandals, server specs and new features is all very interesting to read about, but when will for example the Amarr get a new emperor? The lack of ingame events and essential halt of certain ongoing ones (the Gallente election for example) has done nothing but to diminish the immersion factor of the game, which certainly is a shame considering all the material the backstory contains. Anyway, it would have been nice with some sort of update on what the future holds in that area.
Don't know if you read this, but there is some evidence (according to wikipedia) that it isn't completely harmful for companies, and even can be quite the opposite in some cases.

S: No. W: Aah. Now, I understand you want us to advertise your washing powder. S: String. W: String, washing powder, what's the difference. We can sell *anything*. S: Good. Well I have this large quantity of string, a hundred and twenty-two
thousand *miles* of it to be exact, which I inherited, and I thought if I
advertised it-- W: Of course! A national campaign. Useful stuff, string, no trouble there. S: Ah, but there's a snag, you see. Due to bad planning, the hundred and
twenty-two thousand miles is in three inch lengths. So it's not very
useful. W: Well, that's our selling point!

I see a television commercial-
There's this nude woman in a bath holding a bit of your string. That's
great, great, but we need a doctor, got to have a medical opinion.
There's a nude woman in a bath with a doctor--that's too sexy. Put an
archbishop there watching them, that'll take the curse off it. Now, we
need children and animals.
There's two kids admiring the string, and a dog admiring the archbishop
who's blessing the string. Uhh...international flavor's missing...make the
archbishop Greek Orthodox. Why not Archbishop Macarios? No, no, he's
dead... nevermind, we'll get his brother, it'll be cheaper... So, there's
this nude woman....

That it makes the dumb dumber and the smart smarter.
And bit by bit everyone an asshole.
That read the title as "Bill Gates feeds 'Emergency' Powers to Secure Civilian Nets"?
Confused the hell out of me to say the least...
No, no, no. It should obviously be "Bong". And while they're at it, maybe change to logo to some form of star shaped leaf. I think that really would raise Microsofts credibility.
Maybe they used a really small font size?
Also, lots more info here: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/

No. No they didn't.
So english is like the bastard child of european languages?
Since I couldn't bother with RTFA, I'm gonna go with a definite maybe.

There are, we generally call them Goons.
Someone should make a poster of it.
Also, "Hitler vs The Internet" would make a great B-movie.
All that DRM actually means that EA _wants_ us to pirate games?
I know I'm interpreting it like that.
Lies and slander, it's actually me.

Argh, food PILLS is what it should say. Where's the edit function when you need it...
Yes, we thought it would be best to skip the entire 21th so we could get straight to the flying cars and food.
