What the hell is a nettop that does not use local storage doing with a 64gb SSD harddrive!??!??! Also what the hell is it doing with 2gigs of ram!? I'm calling bullshit until we get some real info. If these are real they could cut the cost in half by using a 16gig ssd and 1gig of ram and see zero performance hit this isnt a gaming rig ffs.

ISOs? Who needs those when you can install your whole system with any arbitrary livecd and an internet connection?

Oh look, my namesake. ^_^

Some day they will find out that we've been faking it. Don't EVER let them find out about "first order approximation" or we will be sitting around trying to explain Taylor's theorem to them for the next 150 years >_.

Try to call anything else a "pie" and I will show you cheese and crackers with a layer of tomato sauce inbetween.

See, linux is great because it means your hardware is always cheap. That is of course if you are smart and only buy the 4 year old parts that actually have kernel support. Go go ATI drivers.

Sadly I've had to resort to playing L4D2 at (holy crap wikipedia doesnt even LIST this) 732x458 or something since my gtx8800 cant keep > 60 frame rate for anything larger than than >_.

The real badguys already use proxies, so way to go google, punish the stupid wannabe badguys >_. Well I guess social darwinism is still in. Also, they may say it, but they still index it. That said there are ways for google to really increase privacy but then the wouldnt get their precious data and they would fall behind so its a damned if you do and damned if you dont. Also, after reading the old somethingawful leaked AOL searches I think we can agree that sometimes it would be better if you could just call the police when you saw search logs.

I personally have found that you can use fluxbox's keys file to bind just about anything, so I have keys bound that launch a script which calls xrandr with the right options and modes for my monitors, works prefectly.

Thank god someone else realized this. Did everyone miss the part where this stuff is basically grown from cow extract?? If you stop raising livestock you remove the primary food source for this monstrosity. Sure you could view it as an increase in efficiency for livestock industries since otherwise useless blood and serum can now be turned into muscle, but as far as the whole PETA thing goes, they are completely off the mark.

Welcome to the internet, please enjoy your stay or GTFO promptly.

Don't we already have one of these? I think its called the "Power" button unless I'm very much mistaken. There's even a key-combo for it "alt-f4" or "ctrl-w".

In that case working for microsoft doesnt count as conventional.

This sucks.

I'm sure if you cooked up some algorithms you would have no trouble finding out so pretty darned interesting things about yourself, google doesnt give you those, it just gives you the raw data, which is pretty much useless by itself.
