If this doesn’t have other really bad side effects it will revolutionize surgery.  Article goes into more detail than I have seen elsewhere today.

What includes Jesus, the space shuttle and two American flags, and is payable in six easy installments? Why, the ultimate collectible, of course. In Table of Malcontents.

Contains profanity.  Go, watch, roflyao… 😉

Back and done

Other than moving the stuff from my old home directory to this one that is.  This thing is a LOT faster than the other one.  Has a faster bus speed for one thing.  Now to run another ethernet cable to the other room so I can get to the files on the old machine.  So close… 😉

New Linux Box

The processor is an AMD Geode(tm) NX  1750+ running at  1394.898 MHz.  Or that’s what the pclos info tool shows.  As far as what kind of machine, it’s a damn if I know. 😉

Seems to be a no name assembled with assorted parts, mouse and keyboard are Harmony multimedia products.

It just finished reformatting the hard drive and installing PCLOS on it.  Now for configuring.  Back when I am running from the hard drive.

PCLinuxOS: Downloads

PCLinuxOS: Downloads

Just finished downloading BigDaddy 0.93a and am burning it to cd now.  Have a new computer with XP home just itching to be removed from it that I am gonna use in place with this one.  Not quite state of the art but at 1.5 ghz is better than the 1 ghz that the one I am now on.  The new one has 512 mb memory so will upgrade that a bit.  Also has a built in dvd burner.  May have to add a cd burner, will see if the dvd will also do the cds first though.  80 gb hard drive.  Onboard video though also has a video card slot.  May move my present card depending on how it does.
Just finished burning and is checking now.  Closer and closer to bye-bye XP. 😉

Group Warns Of More Junk E-mail – International Business Times –

Judges that sit on this kind of case need to be at least a little tech savvy.  Obviously this one wasn’t and isn’t.  And e360insight sends out massive amounts of unsolisited email which in my book that makes them a spammer.  This ruling needs to be overturned.

Getting closer to no moving parts in the input control for computers.  Much closer.

Techdirt: Diebold Machine Didn’t Count Votes, But Diebold Says Not To Worry: They Can Tell You The Actual Vote Totals

Paper and pencil or pen doesn’t have this problem.    Just a pain to count.  But there IS a trail there unlike the electronic machines.  Now we get to watch yet another election get stolen thanks to Diebold and the asshats in power.  I still say lets vote them ALL out and start over!

To hell with the US mint.  I’d use them if there were places around here that accepted them.  Anything to show my nonsupport to this nonwar that the nonprez has the country in.

Linux.com | Task management made simple with todo.txt and Tux ToDo

Tux ToDo is a lightweight, fast and simple todo list manager.  Just downloaded it and after decompressing clicked on the executable and it launched within a second.  Basic interface but it seems to have everything needed to keep a todo list up to date without much overhead.  Just what the disorganized person needs.
