It really depends on how and where you listen to your music on which iPod is right for you. If you're a runner or a bike ridder, etc the iPod mini is perfect, it comes with a belt clip and you can buy an optional arm band. Not saying you can't do this with a full size iPod, but the iPod mini is alot smaller and is perfect for someone on the go.

I use mythtv, I have 1 backend server with a Hauppauge pvr-250 and a OLD win-tv card in it, it has 1GB of ram, 3x120GB harddisks, and an amd2500+. The two cards allow me to record two shows at once, lets two people on two different frontends watch two different channels, or picture in picture. This computer has more power than mythtv needs, you can use something with alot less power. Especally if you get a hardware tv capture card.
When I am recording off my old win-tv capture card and I am in gnome running mozilla, etc. I can tell a big difference in video quality as when I am not doing anything on the computer. So if you have a slow computer, you want to use X/mozilla/etc, or just want better video quallity get a hardware video capture card (happauge pvr 250/350). A pII 400mhz would do very very well with a pvr 250/350.
My main frontend is a Xbox with gentoo installed. If you have a Xbox and you are as disappointed as I was with the games the xbox is your best bet for a front end for a TV. It "fits" beside the tv, I mean who wants a tower computer beside the tv anyways? Also some guy made a xbox-linux/mythtv distro. I haven't tried it but it looks really neat.
My other front end is a laptop with 802.11g card in it. I must say mythtv does QUITE well wireless.
Eh, you wouldn't have to format under windows. Almost EVERY OS out there has some kind of FAT tools. we got newfs_msdos (*BSD, Mac OS X), mkfs.(vfat|msdos)
Yeah, but bloatware runs very well on newer hardware (which lots of people have and use). You don't always have to use the latest and greastest software to get something done. Like you said XFCE works great for you on a p133, but so does gnome 1.x. gnome 1.x may be old but it runs well on a p133.
After looking at this picture i see a zip drive, floppy, and cdrom in every computer. I can understand a cdrom and maybe a floppy but why does EVERY computer in that cluster need a zip drive? seems like a waste of $ to me

Mac OS X is 90% of the reason I have PPC.
If Mac OS X was on x86 I'd have a x86.
Here is the Changelog from 1.6 to 2.0
You can do this with a single prop plane, it'd be hard to beat 25sec but you can get a good 10sec 0 gravity in one.
well, they did.
If you need more than 2GB of RAM than you should probably just get a power mac.
How is that the original if it was posted a day later than the eetimes article ?
And its true, I have a Athlon 2500+ and 2000+ and they only differ about 50MHz but the 2500+ has double the L2 cache which makes it a lot faster.
CPU: AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2500+ (1831.26-MHz 686-class CPU)
Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x6a0 Stepping = 0
CPU: AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2000+ (1786.27-MHz 686-class CPU)
Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x681 Stepping = 1
Just shows MHz isn't really everything, L2/L3 cache, ram speed, bus speed, have a lot to do over-all speed.
(What does Stepping = ? mean anyway??)
but I think I almost had a seizure around minute 5 with all the turns in the road.
if you live in the USA you and I pay the electric bill =x
I burnt many 4x dvds at 8x and never had a problem with any on a pioneer 107d.
Some drives may or may not work with 4x dvds.
that happened to me when my speaker wires were too close to the lan wire.
thats what is made for.

Argh! and i just paid 20$ for it on tuesday!
Be sure to read the hardware requirments!!

YES WALMART!

> 2. $2000 USD is practically nothing in terms of software development costs.
Yeah but 0$ is alot cheaper.

Actually he wasn't missing the point. He said
I don't need to see the source code. I just want a system that works.
and Mac works for him, linux works for other people.
you can

here's a pretty big list of games for mac. Just because best buy doesnt sell mac games doenst mean there aren't any.
Maybe, maybe not. maybe there is some sco code in there also.
