It sounds painful. , Like "wound her."

I do 3D printing and I have a post on my site about the plastics commonly used in rep-rap and makerbot type printers:

I'll be watching you through your window tonight. I'm sure you have nothing to hide because you aren't doing anything illegal, right?

Yes we are! :)

Fry's is amazing. If they ever expanded out of the West and to the New York area I would probably go bankrupt. ICGAC about Best Buy.

You had me. You really did - until you mentioned, "but when you look at just how much hardware they support, and how well it works, ". While I agree that most, if not all hardware is designed to work and has drivers for windows, it is not Microsoft that is doing the 'supporting'. How much of that hardware would automatically install, activate, and provide every feature designed if it weren't for the drivers from the OEM. Why do you think all those printers, mice, cameras, biometrics, etc... come with a CD? The OEMs decide what to support, and they typically choose the most widely used. It used to be that everything came with a "designed for Windows" logo, even though they provided their own drivers and supporting software. You now see Mac logos included as well and rarely you see all three MS, Mac, and Linux.

I did not lose power, but did lose internet connectivity. So for me it is worse.

How much I pay for my baggage at the airport?

Sometimes Linux errors aren't that useful. Granted they are more useful than most Windows errors.

I've started collecting some of the less "useful" ones just for fun. http://www.solar1.net/index.php?pid=5

...this kind of system is fscking *hard*,... Perhaps they should not power it off so abruptly next time.

FTW!

Inconceivable!
