Well I laughed. Thanks for posting that Clocker, I haven't laughed out loud in a while now that I think about it. Hope that event was for charity or something ... would have added a nice touch. Still funny as heck though. :)

Did I miss news of this somewhere? If this review is for real, it looks like Dell is introducing a follow-up to the 3007WFP, the 3007WFP-HC. From the article:

Thanks Merc!

Blast from the past: Does anyone know if you can stick a 100MHz FSB Slot 1 Pentium II into a motherboard that's expecting a 66MHz FSB Slot 1 Pentium II and come out with some kind of normal functionality (albeit in an ancient sort of way)?

. What, no cat pictures?! I'm seeing 75-80 KB/s, which is the best my connection will do. Glad you got them to look into it and resolve the problem. :)

Second non-vote for a Macintosh here.

I don't know enough about Outlook and Exchange (I'm just an end-user of that garbage), but I do know it's possible to create a distribution list with Exchange. One address could therefore reach multiple recipients. Would that solve your problem?

True, with the exception of the most indestructible material known to mankind. I am, of course, thinking of the chicken at the average fast food restaurant.

Would you believe ... the original Get Smart is back? It actually happened. They released the full Get Smart series on DVD! Apparently the release date was last month (November 15th, 2006 to be exact). And for whatever reason, Time-Life is the company that is offering it. The set includes...

Centrix is selling off a nice, older-model Logitech optical mouse, specifically the Logitech M-SBF69, for $5.99 (and they're new, at that) with volume discounts available. A possible drawback is that they're PS/2 only. Also, if you tolerate 3Com products, in another deal they're selling off...

I guess I'm more suspicious than most. I always assume that the store managers intentionally tweak the settings to bring out the best-looking images on the televisions that they make the biggest profit on. To hell with any other consideration. (At least that's what I'd do.)

What did you end up getting?

Woohoo ... I posted too soon! I found the discussion! Note that it's a side conversation in a discussion titled, "Root Exploit For NVIDIA Closed-Source Linux Driver". (Yikes. Have I mentioned that, regardless of manufacturer, I prefer the open-source video drivers? :) ) The open-source...

Note: I didn't start looking into Linux graphics capabilities in any sort of detailed way until this summer. Prior to that I was usually happy with one monitor working at a standard resolution, using any bland 8-year-old analog video card with a DB15 RGB connector. As a result, any useful...
