Cool beans!;D Just keep us posted:D

Off topic:
It would be great if there was a menu bar at the bottom of the page as well.
The same as the one in the top right corner, with the login, search, etc options. Just a thought...::) Well, there is, but I do not see a login option on the bottom...:'(

I just spend time with my GF while stuff compiles
Though I'm afraid she is taking over, I haven't actually updated my install in weeks

I have a PlayStation 3 to play while stuff compiles.

I don't know if I'd be willing to camp outside a store for hours... I hate shopping. I suppose if it was the only way I could afford something that I really wanted I might do it, but otherwise I'd probably just wait.

Smart people read the advertisement and compare the minimum guaranteed amount of items to their position in line.

As far as time being worth money, I feel I got my money's worth out of my time. I saved $772 on the stuff I had to camp out for, not to mention the additional savings on buying stuff that I would have paid full price for. Also, I earned $70, so strictly benefits from the 14 hours I was there, I got $842, which equates to $60.14/hour. Considering I did it for fun and the savings were a side effect, and that I wouldn't have been earning money during that time otherwise, I'd say those 14 hours were worth $60.14/hour.

Geeze, if that's the case, you must be very very stupid.

Wow, you really are stupid.

Yup, I was right.

FYI, emo is about "Woe is me".

My mobo doesn't seem to recharge the CMOS battery, so when I power down I have to fiddle with CMOS settings. If I forget to disable the SATA option then Windows XP yammers about installing device drivers. I only have IDE drives.

I guess there will be a lot more Gentoo users out there soon after the sub-$300 laptop relese

yeah, it's going to be a failure, most people don't want to wait around for hours for their computer to finish compiling an application. Great business model.

People will wait for hours for Windows to install apps, but won't wait for it to compile?

I realized how agonizingly slow some stuff is on Windows now that I'm running OSX on a cheap spare box. OSX on this 1.6ghz Celeron with a gig of ram feels a lot faster than a fresh Windows install on my Athlon64 3200+ with a gig of ram. The whole freaking OS installed in about 12 minutes. XCode, which takes a couple gigs of space (more than Visual Studio IIRC) installed in about 5-10 minutes, whereas Visual Studio took close to an hour on my fresh XP install. Go figure.

I haven't noticed any "slowness" about Winduhs file access speed, but I have noticed some really stupid ways of going about file access.

For instance, on a Winduhs install onto a freshly fdisk'ed hard drive, why does it take 10-15 seconds to "check for available disk space"? The damned thing's EMPTY!

And I've tried to install the 2008 Express C++ and VBasic stuff, only to find out I've downloaded multimegabyte installer programs that need to access the web to get the actual programs. Or are they "check to make sure it's not a pirated copy of Winduhs" programs? I copied Media Player 9 installer to CD, brought it home, it said it had to access the Web to make sure I had a valid copy of Winduhs, when it couldn't do it (because I'm NOT ON THE INTERNET) it tried to access the Internet AGAIN to find out what the problem was! I'd better shut up now...
