I'm envious of my friends in Tulsa that have Cox with those speeds. I'm paying the same price to Cable One for 8/.5, this increased within the last two weeks from 5/.5
I've got a Dell Inspiron 6000 that is a bit over a year old. It already has some sort of lo-jack built into the bios. I don't know the name of it but it says that if you turn it on it can't be turned off. I would assume that it is OS independent.
I myself would never turn something like this on because I like some of you am a paranoid freak. I would much rather some thief owned my laptop that have some unknown entity know where I am at every time my laptop hits the net.
I'm sure their only motive is that they do not want to pay people who have the knowledge to troubleshoot hardware problems in a *nix environemnt, but...
I had a Dell Lattitude C640, that had some bug that would cause the fan to stop working. The laptop would subsequently get very hot. I went through 6 or so hard drives before I bought a new laptop, dumped windows back on the C640 and passed it down to the wife.
As a linux user, I am used to being treated as a second class citizen. Right or wrong, I've come to expect it.

You gave up a perfectly good "You insensitive clod!" joke?
There is flash you want?
Bah, veryone knows all of it is fake and filmed in a Hollywood studio.
