Skype works perfectly on the Asus eee. I've used the video conferencing on the stock OS as well as Xubuntu to chat with my wife. She was on a windows box and I was on the asus. I did upgrade my ram to 2 gigs though, but it should still work.

Ok, so here's what ya do. Empty some of our land fills into New Orleans, then use the city as target pratice for our Military to level the city. This should add a good 2-3 feet to the city. Then fill it in with whatever other crap we can gather up, top off the last 4-5 feet or so with rocks/dirt and what have you, then build ontop of that.

The good.. we lower down some of our landfills, city is now above sea level, lots of jobs for rebuilding.

The bad.. the city is known as a the 'landfill city'.. but then agian, that's not really a new name for it either, in fact I think it would be a bit cleaner even with all the trash 15 feet down. ;)

Irony is identifying a gene that garbles and confuses with a various mix of numbers and letters that are equally confusing and garbled to the rest of the world. There ya go folks, that's what a dyslexic reads! I am sure to the science community it makes perfect sense but if you are trying to address these mind boggled but brilliant people ( I am modest too :) ) the least you could do is name it Gene Bob or something easy. Dyslexics of the world UNTIE!!!
