I run Hoary on a Pentium II 350 w/192 MB RAM at home, and it runs respectably... Nothing lighting quick, but very usable.. Your system should be more than sufficient..
My laptop recently died and I haven't been able to get it repaired yet (anyone wanna PayPal me?;] ), so I schlepped together a desktop system with some old crap lying around.
Pentium II 350, 192 MB RAM, 20 GB SCSI HDD, On-board RAGE video
Typical low end POS.
Installed Win2000Pro and Ubuntu 5.04 on it. Win2000Pro ran OK, not too bad (although the requisite virus scanner slowed it down considerably). Ubuntu, however, really breathes life back into it. It's a very useful workstation (especially running Opera). I wouldn't go re-encoding DVDs with it or anything, but for general surfing-the-web kinda stuff it works well enough, and rather better than Win2000Pro. This is pretty astounding, considering the vintage of code.
Here in the Cincinnati area is one of the strongest AM stations in the nation. I've picked up the signal in Florida while on vacation before. Their old transmitter was used to send transmissions to troops in Europe a couple times during WWII.
a) Global warming would cause the polar icecaps to melt, thus lowering the mean temperature of the world's oceans.
b) Bush *did not* send *MOST* of our Guardsmen to Iraq. The affected states have a 55-65% readiness (in other words, 35%-45% were send overseas). Last I checked, "most of" meant "greater than 50%". And incidentally, my roommate (and several of my friends) are Guardsmen.
Actually, from what I've read, global warming would cause the polar ice caps to start melting, which would lower the temperature of the oceans. Lower ocean temperatures would yield fewer hurricanes. This is, in effect, the exact opposite.
Theological language is a very precise language chosen for its accuracy in "splitting hairs" (hence the use of Latin, or in this case Greek-derived Latin). Hence the subtle differences in transubstantiation, consubstatiation, et al. One does no justice to the subject when trying to paint ones' opponents with the "I'm superior, you're an idiot" brush.
In this particular case, heresy refers to the rejection of a revealed truth (hence, "to choose"). Dogma is revealed truth formulated in the light of reason. Ergo, it is asinine and insulting to merely presume that something is labeled heresy because it is an indefensible position that knows no logic.
If you posit that dogmas are founded outside of reason, I suggest you read the Scholastics.
No, actually, heresy (airesis) means "to choose", and refers to those who only accept the parts of revealed religion that they want to while rejecting the rest.
Leave your elitist and isulting definitions at home.
Remember, though, that RU-486 and its ilk are a pretty recent development. So you're saying that someone who has spent most of their life working as a pharmacist (after going to school for years to become one) should be obligated to quit their job if they don't want to sell a product (which wasn't even around when they became a pharmacist) that goes against their conscience?
..I can flip the coin and present it in terms that the other side urges for.
I hereby mandate that every store owner must sell firearms. After all, we don't care if you're morally opposed to selling them - we have a right to bear them granted by the second amendment. Who are you to decide that your morality overrules my right to bear firearms? Who are you to decide that following your conscience is more important than fulfilling my desires?
If a pharmacist is morally opposed to being a conduit for chemical abortions, who are you to decide his morality is inferior to yours and compell him to act against his conscience?
Yes, but can you say that the picture is one of the dev boxes? It's way too non-specific to believe that. It could be a picture of some other motherboard.
Not that I think that the person who posted the picture is trying to troll, but the picture given doesn't lend much credibility. I'm sure there are many other motherboards out there with an Intel chipset, Infineon chip, SST BIOS chip and SATA ports.
Insurance companies are out to maximize profit and get whomever they can.
Consider my situation.
A few months ago I moved from Ohio to Kentucky. I moved exactly 12 miles from where I lived before. I drive the same car that I drove before with the same driving history. I live in the same type of area as I lived before (in fact, both places are run by the same management company). I am the same person.
My insurance went up 63%, and my coverage limits were cut in half.
Last time I checked, the abuse of illegal drugs was not a right enshrined in the constitution. And if you want to play the "pursuit of happiness" card, then I assume we should just let paedophiles pursue their "happiness" as well.
Abortion is the direct termination of another's life. The child has its own unique DNA and exists (parasitically, given, but the same could be said for any point during first years of the child's life) apart from the mother. The child puts his or her own defenses up to keep the mother's immune system from attacking.
I would think that you would rather assert the rights of the most vulnerable life in our society if you indeed really care about liberty.

Umm... We were too poor to buy CD-ROMs back then? :)
..further on the low end stuff..

OK, a couple points.

or rather,
because it contradicts an indefensible position that knows no logic
Delving further off-topic, but hey..

..the bots became self-aware..
Don't get all jealous just because I've been talking to hot babes online all day..
Strangely enough, a comment about Washington in an article about Australia probably doesn't refer to Australia.

Or maybe even Neal Armstrong. :)

Your concept of indulgences is grossy misconstrued. Here is a good place to start, quickly followed by this.
Here is a good discussion of the Galileo controversy.

You have reached the end of the Internet.
Please go outside now.
FYI, here is an old link to the K6-2 PCI cards for those who don't rememeber.
I mean, that's one of the few logical extensions left, right?

All for moving 12 miles across a river.

Yeah, I noticed that as well.. His wife is around 50 or so if I calculate correctly..
