I've read several ebooks using my PocketPC and Microsoft Reader. It's good on the PocketPC, which has a scroll wheel to flip pages. But most of that reading has been done in short stints (at lunch, on a plane, etc.) As far as sitting in my favorite chair at home with a hot cup of Earl Grey...

He is not the deble, mama! (Blatant reference to The Waterboy) I like it, too. Everything is very clean, straightforward, and pleasing to my eye!

Looks like a 5-way tie for first, so far!

Just something I've been meaning to share with everyone:

Looks great, Doug! And it is much faster. My load times from dialing up at work are much quicker. I noticed you are using AshNews. I've been using it for about two months on my site and like the ease of use, editing, etc.

:)

How can you refer to our queen (and her avatar) with such irreverance? (Sir Dozer blazes into view, sword drawn)

I think the dancing bull is funny, mostly because I don't visualize it as something Tannin would pick for himself :) Which is sort of the whole point of this, eh?

Your picture prompted me to do a search of the F-22 (Yes, I'm a bit bored). Interestingly, I found out about the YF-23, which was produced by a team from Northrop/McConnell Douglas, competing against the team from Lockheed, who produced, and eventually won the contract for the F-22. Here's a...

BTW, I rather like my new Avatar, too (although Dozer was a nickname given to me for a different reason). But I lke it nonetheless. Thank you, Tea.

Zir? Have I been knighted? Oh, wow, gee, I uh I uh...I don't know what to zay, I feel very honoured. Thank you, Your Highnezz! :D I am humbly at your zervice.

No experience with the 604 but....704 has worked like a charm. I bought it from Clippy about a year ago, and it has been so easy to use. Support seems pretty good...I upgraded the firmware about a month ago and gained some decent new capabilites (eg. DMZ, VPN features). Very easy to...

Interesting feat by this guy...a minimalist linux system for his car...he uses it to play mp3s. http://www.ryanspc.com/carmp3

Tannin, I'm not sure if it was big in Australia, but here is a link that explains both of my quotes: http://www.tootsie-roll.com/memoriesSpots.html

I think there were articles on both Gene Kan's death and Cult of the Dead Cow, which would explain those hits. #16, I have not a clue!

Classic commercial of all time...Tannin's old Avatar should certainly appreciate it (remember Mr. Owl?) :lol:

Question: How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie roll center of a Tootsie Pop? Answer: The world may never know

Exactly where I'm at. I have learned much about Linux in a short period of time just by tinkering, researching, and experimenting. Heck, that's how I've learned everything I know about computers to this point. But you definitely must have the time to tinker with it, and tinkering isn't always...

Yeah, sometimes it's better to take a breather and come back when you have regained some patience again. I've done that with many a project. Usually I come back to it later, fix the problem immediately and say, "Why the heck was it so hard three days ago!"

I had to open up port 10000 on my router/firewall to get it to work. Can you get Webmin to run on your local machine? (either http://localhost:10000 or https://localhost:10000). Depending on how Webmin was configured at installaltion, you may have to type https://localhost:10000 to get it to run.

Webmin is really easy to install and use. I installed using the RPM for Mandrake, then pointed my browser to http://localhost:10000. It's got a detailed user interface that allows you to configure lots of Linux applications and processes (you can install applications remotely, reboot, kill...

This is indeed strange, Clocker. I've been running Samba on one of my machines for several months now, accessing it with XP on another machine. I did most of the configuration through Webmin. Yesterday I set up Samba to run on a dual-Pentium machine in console--took awhile to get it all...

Question: What does a drive-by shooting on a horse sound like? Answer: The Ondioline.

Me too, c'mon guys, let me play, pleeeeaaaassssee!

Question: What is the full scientific name for a wild boar? Answer: The Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee

Tea, am I dyslexic, or did your avatar switch with Tannin's?

Tea, Perhaps it's just a sick sense of humour (or at the very least, warped), but I thought it was quite funny, as well. Gave me a smile on a rainy day here in Chattanooga!

Here are my pics (some will look similar, but I think I took some different shots than Clippy): http://planetdozer.dyndns.org/gallery/uploaded/seattle/index.htm The trip was much fun, yet way too short to see both Vancouver and Seattle. I would like to go back to Seattle and visit Mt. Rainier...

I agree, it's much easier to configure a computer with the advent of Windows. But Linux IS free (for the most part), and once you get used to the way things are done in Linux, it's not too bad. I'm sure that it was not as easy to configure/install programs back in the early phases of its...

Try KDE System Guard (Under Applications-Monitoring on my Mandrake 8 system running KDE 3). It shows all of your running processes, memory %, and allows you to kill processes (very similar to Windows). I totally agree--upgrading/tweaking is not for the faint at heart, nor the average user...

Jake, While not an end-all source of public opinion, the site below does give some interesting information about public response to the Iraq situation, President Bush's job approval ratings, etc. http://www.pollingreport.com Mercutio, You're absolutely correct. While I would tend to side...

I am definitely a Mandrake fan. It was fairly easy to configure, and runs very smoothly on my PIII-800. I am running Lycoris on another machine, which is supposed to be more like windows, but I wouldn't recommend it as a customer solution as it seems to be quite sluggish. I agree with both...

Oh yeah, I forgot: 6) P90 Toshiba Satellite Pro Laptop which is currently on loan to a friend in school--it's very, very sloooooooooow.

I have 4 machines total: 1) HP Vomit box at work--mostly for e-mail, web, documents. 2) XP-1800 at home - gaming, F@H crunching, Photoshop, general use 3) Frankenstein (PIII-800 Mhz SGI guts in a Dell case :) ) - Mandrake webserver 4) Celeron Dual Processor - currently just F@H crunching...

Nothing wrong with that, Mercutio. Everyone has their own tastes. I find Clancy interesting because I like political thrillers and the technical detail that he goes into. I know plenty of friends who just can't get into it, and get bored with all of the detail. OTOH, I dislike Charles...

Well put. Sam does stay consistent in who he is, never tries to be anybody but Sam. I admire that. Perhaps a commentary on what people we admire IRL?

Doh! Should have hit preview instead of submit. Sorry about the italicized type where it doesn't belong.

Here is my two cents worth: Another vote for Black Hawk Down, LOTR, and anything by Clancy (my personal favorites Without Remorse and Rainbow Six) For the adventurers out there: View From The Summit by Sir Edmund Hillary (his autobiography) For the kid in you: [/i]The Adventures of Huck...

Sam is such a true friend, never leaving Frodo's side. You have to admire that in a man...er...Hobbit.

Hehe...only in a Jeep!!

LOL very good! I'm recommending that to our company today :)

Or if he ever gets jaundice, green!

Hehe...maybe you could partition and run Linux on it :D (Hey, it works on the Xbox)

When Cliptin and I are in Seattle, we plan to head up to Vancouver for a day or so...any ideas on things that we should definitely see? So far, I see that you can rent sea kayaks in North Vancouver, which would be pretty sweet! But I know that there must be other highlights in that city that...

"Good Afternoon, East Chattanooga Window and Door, this is Bill, how may I help you?" "Yes, this is <insert idiot>, do you carry light fixtures?" Silence.... :roll: I rest my case.

Along the same lines--check this out: http://koti.mbnet.fi/~soldier/towboat.htm World's Largest Eskimo Roll!!

That one gets my vote as well--makes me laugh every time I read or think about it.

One third slower is way better than the no third that I'm running right now. Thanks for the info, Steve.

I can run F@H okay, but it just sits idle. Clocker was having the same problem. He finally switched to RedHat. I'm planning on upgrading, and I hope that it will resolve my Folding problem. I really like the Mandrake distribution of Linux, but I'd also like this machine to fold, so maybe...
