There is a decent amount of it. I use Mueller's book, Tom's Hardware and similar, plus with hardware manufacturer websites.
There is also this: http://cr.yp.to/hardware/build-20090123.html
If you can afford such an apartment and this is that important to you, what the heck are you doing searching the web for free info and asking Slashdot for free info?
I am 100% certain that there are qualified and competent folks out there who can provide you with accurate information, for a fee.
I have had my share of BS from godaddy, and that is why I stopped referring my web dev clients to them. I now send all my clients to siteground. They absolutely rock. Their tech support people are highly competent, quick, and polite . . . they are actual geeks, not fucktard sales dept rejects that have been put through some bs support course for mental defectives, like gocrappy.
I can't say enough good things about them, sorry if this sounds like an ad, but, they truly rock.
No unfinished biz with the law, but some past biz in another country long long ago, no violence or anything that bad but . . . last year I had an immigration attorney in BA email me basically telling me that I would be granted residency when the devil ice skates to work:(

The more I read about your country, the more it looks like heaven to me . . . I am stuck living in Colombia, which is the worst hellhole on the face of the planet.
If it weren't for some legal problems that preclude me from obtaining residency in Argentina, my God, I would be there right now! I only wish.
Congrats man, your country absolutely rocks, I wish I had been born in a decent country like that.
If you know a good immigration attorney (or someone else that can help) and want to do a good deed, drop me a line . . .
Does anyone have any info on what might become of OpenSolaris?
The more I read about it, the more I want to explore it, however, I am loath to invest time into something that might be put out to pasture in the near future. Even though the code is open, from what I have read it will probably stagnate if its paid developers are pulled.

Good Lord, and to think that the unfortunate soul who ended up with the drive is probably being waterboarded already for his/her troubles, as I write this.
I believe that his only flaw is his failure to articulate his points in a more elaborate manner, something which - regardless of many who seize upon that weakness to counter his initiative with their false dichotomies and caveman logic - does not invalidate the gist of his conclusions and arguments.
Yes, his personality can be abrasive at times, yet - as I have said in relation to ESR - let the first hacker/geek/techie/nerd/propellerhead/[INSERT FAVORITE TERM FOR US] with the all around pleasant personality cast the first stone.
Stallman continues to produce value, decade after decade.
I have said this before, and I will say it again, this is EXACTLY what Stallman meant to say on the topic, he simply could not articulate it in a rigorous manner, but, that does not invalidate his point in the least when he said "it's a trap"
I agree wholeheartedly. I use SOME "cloud" apps, and use them in a calculated and limited manner, but, I will resist having my computing resources under the control of a bunch of filthy Suits someplace (because, ultimately, the major "cloud" apps ARE and/or will be under the control of some Suit swine)
I think my first interaction was visiting webpages served up by Apache/GNU Linux.
After that, a Mandrake Move GNU/Linux Live CD I ordered online.
Some time after that, I ordered an Ubuntu GNU/Linux CD, after that, I downloaded my own Ubuntu install CD
It's been a great experience thus far, although I do wish some guys would have exercise more pride, integrity, and responsibility in their work related to many of the applications . . . that's what gets me, I am neither talking about an "ugly" GUI (who cares) nor asking for rocket science so to speak . . . stupid little fuckups that are never paid attention to . . . I have said it before and I will say it again: I would shoot myself if MY product (in any field of endeavor) were that shoddy! Never. Better not release than release something shitty, I don't mean an early release, I mean releasing something decent, even if in Beta.
I had the misfortune of ending up with a web development client who is a former Microsoftie, her husband was also VP of sales there for like 14 years, and I can honestly say I have never come across a worse backstabbing, double talking, two-faced, cocaine addicted, paranoid, clueless, arrogant, abusive, cheap, thieving, ignorant, asinine, imbecilic, life sucking leech . . . many of them Microsoft people are the scum of the earth, and I can say that from direct experience.
This has been bothering me for along time, I have begun to see people covering up their sheer, unforgivable incompetence by claiming that it is the Linux way. Hard to use? Makes no sense even to Linux users? Stupid little two bit bullshit fuckups (I mean, that's what pisses me off, it's a bunch of little things that do matter, but are not rocket science damnit) left and right? just plain sloppiness and neglect?
"Oh, you should learn how to use it!"
"it's the Linux way!"
Makes me want to projectile vomit!
I swear, if my stuff were as shoddy as some of the bs I have seen on this ubuntu install (just STUPID SHIT!!!) I would shoot myself, some people have no dignity, no pride, no BALLS to do shit RIGHT goddamnit! If you are going to build something and release it, be responsible and get your shit together!!!!!!
The FLOSS/GNU/Linux way does NOT EQUAL INCOMPETENCE!!!! How come *BSD is fucking clean and tight and slick and stable and highly usable and beautiful!?!?!?!?!!?
I find sloppiness and half-assness to be unnaceptable! I have seen worse fuckups in some FOSS GNU/Linux than I have seen in M$FT stuff! That is disgraceful! Dishonorable. A travesty.
My goodness gracious, I about went through the roof upon reading this. My God, what has America come to? I am glad I no longer live there, even though I miss my City of Angels and my family and many things, my God.
I can't believe this. I hope to God the Feds go fucking psycho on them hick shithole cops, the Feds can cause some major, major damage when they feel like it.
I wish I could do something . . . I wish someone would email me and tell me how I can help.
This crime may very well go unpunished, however, I have hopes that the Obama administration will make an example out of those fucks. This is why, this is why, EVERY TIME I hear/read about a cop getting blown away, anywhere in the world, I LITERALLY hoot and holler and cheer and say GOOD, GOOD RIDDANCE, I AM SO GLAD THOSE PIGS GOT BLOWN AWAY

Thank you bro . . . if I make it I'll look you up and buy you a bottle of vino or two :)
Cheers,

Thanks bro!
No unfinished biz with the law, but some past biz in another country long long ago, no violence or anything that bad but . . . last year I had an immigration attorney in BA email me basically telling me that I would be granted residency when the devil ice skates to work :(
Ah, I think I will get a second opinion
Thanks again, cheers

I am paying the equivalent of $50 USD per month for 2 Mbps ADSL - and I consider myself lucky that the quality is decent.

Ok, back to work, this is too depressing.

Stallman is - once more - right about this!
I believe that his only flaw is his failure to articulate his points in a more elaborate manner, something which - regardless of many who seize upon that weakness to counter his initiative with their false dichotomies and caveman logic - does not invalidate the gist of his conclusions and arguments.

Hmmm
I looked at many of your previous comments . . . you are a little ASTROTURFER aren't you?
How pathetic, I knew there was something wrong with you.
(sigh)
Seriously, are you new around here?

http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/S/suit.html
Yeah because the term "Suit" is surely not figurative or something.
Hooray
This made my day.
Nothing better than to see a Suit get his/her just desserts, PARTICULARLY at the hands of other Suits.
I love it!
LOL
Actually, I was "baptised" as Moe by a friend while in HS, it was his idea of short for "Mauricio"
Ow WOW!
This just blew me out of my chair . . . a bit sad in a way . . . I guess I would have would have rather seen IBM buying SUN
Just - WOW
