IBM and Sun both have their versions that run very smoothly indeed. I just updated my Star Office to Star Suite for free (Vers.8.9) and it works a treat. No one actually needs Office 2007 unless someone else has Office 2007 and One Note works without running Office at all.
Can't do that too easily. Those old motherboards/processors have addressing limits on the max HD size you can plug into them. A solution is to use something like easibios that allows you to use large capacity HDs with old processor/mb combos. Not a pretty solution. I rather go with the VIA solution.
Yep. After paying for PClinuxOS, installing it (after reading glowing reports), then deciding it looked to much like Windows, reverted back to Ubuntu. Why? Well if a desktop looks too similar to your standard XP gui, you half expect to get property sheets and other info. The gui is made to look like XP, but doesn't react the same. Windows is always there in the back of your head when your operating PC/OS. Ubuntu's gui on the other hand is different enough that you have to learn the way the gui operates. Its easier to do that than learn an XP variant. Maybe it's the difference between KDE and Gnome?
the goal is page views. There are 4 ads (including a popup) on that page, not counting advertising for other parts of PC Mag. Counting self referential ads, the number jumps to over 40 And (apart from sheer laziness), that's why no-one on Slashdot RTFA!
lol I've got ICDL (International Computer Driver's License). They told me that every one using a computer in government organisations would have to have one. It would look good on my resume, but it's got such a crappy name that I'm embarrassed to list it.
Even though it wasn't in Computer Science, I know what that feels like. A new university opened up here in Australia in 1975, and blow me down, a whole gaggle of Profs from Oxford and Cambridge (History, English) turned up a spent a sabbatical or three, lecturing. I got a top quality education from brilliant minds; from those that 'wrote the books'. Apparently it happened in other disciplines as well. I was told at one point that it was rare to have so many visiting profs and emeritus, and that it signaled a true birth of a university. During my course, I travelled to a well known uni and attended some lectures and tutorials. I was astounded in the differences in comparable coursework. I understood that motivation played a very important part in education, and if the lecturer could impart that, then the work was very live and engaging. Strangely enough, it was through history that I became re-acquainted with sciences and later, computer science.
I found a way of getting the point across. Put it in terms of youtube videos. Point out with bigpond they might be able to watch a couple of youtube videos + their normal usage with bigpond compared to hundreds or thousands depending on which other isp.
I told my mum that the plan she agreed to was like a 'soup kitchen during the Depression'. She understood and is very careful when she uses the net. 200mb is useless. She's so aware, that when her brother or grandchildren visit, she monitors them carefully, not to download Utube etc.
They sunk £779 million pounds into the Millennium Dome, which was open for only a very short time before being demolished. Are you serious? They demolished it? Does that mean that the BBC has to re-shoot the intro titles for Eastenders?

Thanks for the Ebay tip.
I've just ordered on.

Now at which point does Ford Prefect turn up and abducts you to go to a local pub for 7 beers and chips?
Geez! I'm fearful of "Butties" myself!
I've had a Chip Buttie, but evidently there's more flavours to choose from!!!!

You guys might just have to re-calculate.
Don't the HD manufacturers' determine that 1000MB=1GB?
So 832GB doesn't translate into a power of 2.
Someone else do the calc. My brain is fried.
Do you know how to get the 6288 backlight remain on for more than 2 secs?
Is there a hack for this?
10 GOTO 10
or
10 X=1
20 FOR N = 0 TO X
30 X=X+1
40 NEXT
Simple really!
Now if you consider X to be a rotation of the Earth, then that should answer your question.

At least it wasn't tagged redundant.
S.A.M. Spin Access Memory (® © (TM)) is my idea!
And I too, want to be next in line after you in giving the person responsible for "blog" a kick in the nuts.
Agree. It's not redundant!
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these!
You think this is irrelevant?
Well you're right! It was meant to be posted in "Dinosaur Fossil Found With Preserved Soft Tissue"
Damn those tabs!
Preserved tissue?
I bet it tastes like chicken!
Mammoth steaks anyone?
Yes but we don't have antennae do we?
We can't all afford to be vegan. After all, we need all those crops for biodiesel.
Hey! That's a hot cow~!
Can I do the 'I for one, welcome our Methane-Eating Bacteria overlords'?
Does that mean that the BBC has to re-shoot the intro titles for Eastenders?
What about Gong or Faust? Can???
They're culturally significant!
I suppose the point being is that anything that adds to 'culture' is significant.
