Searchengines consume an enormous amount of bandwith while only indexing small parts of the web.
I think, distributed indexing is the way to go. Give everyone with a website a tool, which indexes her site. Create an open index format to ensure, that sites with dynamic content can create an index in that open format.
Send compressed indexes to the searchengines everytime relevant content has changed.
The problem: the common index format (while I think that the harvest-project produced such a format: SOIF). The searchengine companies will never cooperate on this - the users have to do it.
But as long as the searchengine results are 'good enough' [tm], nothing will change.
Absolutely right. The mindcraft pages have a faq, which points to some microsoft pages dealing with nt vs. linux. All tests mentioned on those pages were done with pcs using 2 or more nics. So here comes the basic rule: if an nt vs. linux benchmark uses pcs with more than one nic linux will fail. By
I really like the tp600e. But to go without a windows partition we need at least that tp configuration software (or support for the tpctl coders).
And I want the *%/\ing modem working. Do it IBM. Otherwise my next laptop will be a Powerbook (if the modem is supported).
BTW.: I recommend to load the sound modules dynamically. Thus they will most likely survive an apm suspend. Loading them via script is not the way to do it.

I'm sure, that it has already come up - but wouldn't it be a cool feature, if you could encrypt the contents of your harddrive with aes or blowfish.
...
Wouldn't that be possible, if there were 'hooks' in the hard-disk firmware, which would allow the use of various crypto algorithms?
I'd like to have that especially in my notebook

If you need help installing Debian on the tp600e see Debian on a ThinkPad 600E.
