Intel has promised Centrino Duo drivers for Linux in Q1 2006. However, until then you will need a separate wireless card at the minimum. (I'm not sure about X as of yet... I haven't gotten my laptop yet and didn't look at the research for that.)
I'm resigned to using XP for the first few months.
Sometimes I get this feeling that Microsoft is a bit like the New York Yankees. Somehow the whole is less than the sum of its parts. For as much high level talent as they attract, you'd figure that they would be able to do revolutionary things.
and Franz Ferdinand is more influenced by INXS than similar artists. I mean, it's like Modest Mouse is influenced by Talking Heads, though they aren't similar per se.
Then stop listnening to the stuff from the radio.:)
I'm hard pressed to tell apart tunes from Coldplay, Franz Ferdinand, Travis and the like.
Franz Ferdinand sounds like Travis? Wow. Nor did I ever think of Travis as anything close to grunge. FF has much more in common with INXS.
Besides, it's hard to blame FF and the Killers for having fifteen bands signed that sounded just like them. (I'm still not sure how The Bravery ever got a record contract.)
So how about The Arcade Fire? TAF isn't my favorite, though others love them. Check out the latest Bruce Springsteen. How about the new My Morning Jacket? LCD Soundsystem? Kayne West is putting out quality music in the Hip Hop genre.
Honestly, I'll place this decade as the best in music since the 1970s when all the gems are discovered.
Why do ethics depend on any deity? I can give you a half dozen atheistic systems of ethics, Secular Humanism and Objectivism being the most prevalent.
A basic common ethical system makes society work. I'm not talking Christian or otherwise, I'm talking about the basics. (No premeditated killing, no stealing, the simple stuff) Without that reasonable expectation of society, we see the dissolution such as in Afghanistan, where the rule of law is might makes right.
You and me and 10% of the music buying populace does not a major market make.
People listen to Nickelback and Britney and such because they *like* it. We can ramble on how they're overproduced, overplayed, and trite, but there's a reason that people aren't out buying Neutral Milk Hotel and other 5/5 reviews off of tiny mixtapes.
It's challenging to get through Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. You can't sing along. Not only are the lyrics often obtuse and obscure, but the music has been created with complex layers that may not reward on the first listen. This population doesn't worry that the song only has a shelf life of 100 listens, because there's always more down the pipeline.
I mean, try listening to LCD Soundsystem and "Losing My Edge" and realize that most people don't know where Ibiza is, much less the first Can show in Cologne. or who/what Can is. (I don't. *laughs*)
I think the best way to explain the phenomenon is that modern popular music is like candy - it's sweet, it gives immediate gratification. Independant music is more like a fine wine - you have to be trained to appreciate the difference.
You really should speak with the academic office at your college. They can arrange for interpreters (which may not be useful to you depending on your ease with ASL) or people to transcribe the notes for the class.
Put the Fark kitten/domokun and the official Ninja webpage on instead of Friendster and Jib Jab, and move #2 down a bit... Otherwise, CNet came close to a good top 10 list.
For all of Bush's faults (and they are legion), space is a safe science outlet to him. Frankly, he's pro-science as long as that science isn't biology.
Besides, maybe he thinks if we get to space, we can get high enough to meet his god!:)

1. If Linus has a strict copyright assignment scheme, noone would have contributed. I'm assigning copyright of my code to some university student in Finland?!?
uh, no.
2. Even if people do, if IBM contributes its code we still have the same exact problem with SCO.
Apache and Php were largely written and optimized for (GNU/Li|U)nix. (I can't say, but I expect the same for MySql but would have to see benchmarks.) This makes sense, as there are still more LAMP than WAMP users.
Were they written with Windows in mind and ported to Linux, you would likely see the same result.
How about right-click on footprint, menu editor? Why can't there be something like that? And that takes you to some sort of application?
If the poster -- or more appropriately, average user -- can't figure it out by the first three guesses, it's not obvious and by extention wrong for a gui.
Heck, there's someone who asked for the comment to be modded up because he couldn't figure out how to remove an icon from the menu!

It's closer to INXS than Coldplay, for sure.

As for music, it's even worse.

You've heard of the social contract, right?
The Unix acolyte asked the master, "Why are so many interfaces designed graphically when command line interfaces are so much more powerful?"
Master Baz said nothing, but typed a few commands into his terminal and turned up his speakers.
"What do you want me to type?" yelped an elderly woman.
"C as in carl, D as in david, then a space bar, then the slash key on the same key as the question mark."
"What?"
"C as in carl, D as in david, then a space bar, then the slash key on the same key as the question mark."
"Okay, it has a squiggly line and the cursor."
"A squiggly line?"
"Oh, you know, the one above the period?"
The acolyte was enlightened.
Guess what?

They often need to do projects for their senior projects. That might be one in which someone is interested.
What's wrong with this approach, mods? Or do you not have the faith of a mustard seed?

Are you kidding? That's part of the voyeur excitement! Send it through some online ordering system, and who knows the difference?
I know someone who works at Walgreens, and she has developed photos of sex acts before.
The new tech has 4x6 prints for .24 cents according to HP.
.25 cents a print.

Even counting shipping and handling, you have to print out a lot of pictures, more than the average user, for such a purchase to make sense.
Yes, it takes longer to get to you. Most of the time, that's not a big deal. (Or you can go to a Kodak kiosk in many locations for not much more.)
Except for those who print out reams of paper, printers just aren't worth it.
Close.
1) Get some spare time
2) Find bug annoying me
3) Find someone willing to pay me to fix same bug annoying them.
4) Submit fix for all
5) Profit!

But then, I'll forget what I was going to look at later!
(IE I'm at work and I want to remember to check out that site about the beowulf cluster of hot grits... how will I remember that when I get home?)
Exactly what JDO implementation do you use? You sound like you've had better luck with your implementation than we have.
Mepis for one.
(I swapped them out for the Microsoft fonts, which I prefer.)
There's a simple answer:
That's where the jobs are!
The majority of custom business software is database-driven with a web interface. When I look at what jobs are out there, that's what I see.
Sure, I'd rather be working on more interesting software in my professional life, but there isn't as much of a demand.
Remember, they're old VMS guys over there ;)
You know, except for IE, you don't have to put any of those on the machine. There are install options to both not install and uninstall them.
I can answer that one.
