Not to be only a wet dish rag, when the Asus EEE_PC 701 came out, I was one of the early adopters. I thought this first deviation from the desktop PC form factor might have some utility for fun and work. There is a program called USB Modem available for my Treo 755p and that enables me to connect th...

I was listening to a radio news story in the truck this a.m. Something about the same guy who hacked the iphone to unlock it to use more apps, a good, user-empowering sort of thing, imo, has hacked the ipad with the same exploit. Then, the point about HP claiming to have a tablet better than ipad. I...

I am not sure what you agree or disagree with. The happiness I describe is a fundamental, fulfilling happiness all parents, birth or adoptive, hetero or gay, can feel from nurturing the child. It seems to be in the DNA. I have not felt that, except to some extent with my cats, but I perceive the phe...

I threw in Afghanistan as it was a certainty we have been lied to about it. On the whole, my sentiments were that what happened on 9/11 was a terrible act and a military response was justified. It was touching to see photographs from all over the world of people, many children, commiserating with Am...

viking60, I speak for myself, not Americans, and you don't know me. I don't know you but, perhaps, you are talking about something like this: 2 a : sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own b : the act of allowing something : toleration I think that...

Bush is a wet-brain crack head.

I start out giving everyone the benefit of the doubt. If I don't like something, subsequently, I tend to be outspoken about that, let the chips fall where they may, the fur fly!

It's a party!
This thread is funny.

From what I hear, beware of the network manager plasmoid; it can cause the desktop to crash. I myself can't verify this, not running KDE. With only dsl, set up on the router, sent to my box over lan, network is pretty much a set and forget deal, automatically configured at install. It's been a long...

Yes, it's my first 64-bit installation, so I don't have any history to compare. From what I gather, x86_64 is pretty much up to par with the usability of i586 and, except for some inconsistent usability across a variety of web java applets, they, also, mostly work and I don't have any problems.
