I found this article interesting and disturbing: The Cost Conundrum. If you see this Adcadet, let us know what you think.

If they need the Cisco VPN client, they offer one for Linux. It only supports IA-32 though. Otherwise, there are other VPN clients available. I would be surprised if Ubuntu doesn't come with one out of the box. Fedora does. For a Quicken replacement there's GnuCash. I just checked, it's...

I think Linux is the best idea here. What do they need to dual boot into Windows for?

Aren't you working in Photoshop a lot of the time? You could move all of your tools to the other monitor.

I have had 2 monitors at work for the past 3 years, I find it indispensible. I recently setup 2 monitors at home and it's very helpful there as well.

Paugie is from the Philippines and he's not a spammer.

Doug, please make someone a mod.

These spammers are getting pretty annoying.

Fill the tank up. Run the engine for a set period of time. Fill the tank up again and see how much gas it takes to fill. There's your number.

0 miles per gallon.

I like the new mobile theme. It's much faster on my blackberry. One thing I would change is when clicking on new posts it would take me to the first unread post, rather than the top of the thread. The other problem I have is when viewing the default theme I can't switch to another theme without...

I'm using a BlackBerry as well. I agree that detecting user-agent is probably the best way to go.

Doug, have you considered installing a mobile template? Something like this would make viewing on a smart phone much easier.

I got my X-25M G2 on Thusday, but didn't have a chance to install it until last night. I also figured out that trying to shrink then clone a LVM volume in linux is more trouble that it's worth. I ended up do a new install of Fedora on the X-25. Then I tarred up most everything on my old boot...

You could convert your desktop to a file server.

The price is back to $299.99 now. It's still sold out though.

Did you end up getting one?

I assumed as much. I meant currently.

Newegg is sold out now.

I finally pulled the trigger.

Jerk. It's 41 degrees here.

It looks more expensive than the alternatives. I know there are ways to get the bill lower, but those come with concessions like not having unlimited texts.

Great news. How was the Cubs game? I was there on Sunday to watch them lose in the last game of the season.

Why not sell it on eBay? You can use the proceeds to pay for your incredibly expensive AT&T bill.

Well, if they work at all I would copy the data off of them and take them out of service.

The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.

No, still holding off a little while longer.

The G2 just dropped in price to $289.

DD is the only one with hope of ever catching up with you.

Have you considered purchasing a used washing machine for cheap, then when you have ample cash you can get a new one? There seem to be quite a few available.

I have a stacked GE washer dryer combo. It looks like this. It came with my condo when we bought it. It seems to work fine. It's nothing fancy, but my clothes get clean enough. Based on when my unit was first sold, it's probably about 5 years old.

I don't drive to work. So, I walk to the train and then walk to the office when I get downtown. I do this even when it's below 0F and when there is 6 inches of snow on the ground. No one bothers to shovel their sidewalks here, so the snow gets packed down into some really slippery ice after a...

Their weather is worse than our's though.

You could start selling computers with a Linux distro installed. Your licensing fees will then be 0.

I don't understand Merc's distaste for push email. My Blackberry is setup with GMail's IMAP server, so maybe I don't qualify.

I would order one, but I've spent way too much money this month. Maybe next month.

Now I feel bad.

You could install a Linux distro on your servers for free. I don't know what you're doing with them, but that might save you some money.

Maybe we could add a couple moderators to delete the spam a bit quicker. I will volunteer for this.

It says temporarily out. Guess they sold out.

I think Chrome feels a lot faster because it's UI is not so damn slow. I don't think JavaScript performance is nearly as big a deal as everyone has been making it out to be. I am running Opera 10 and it's JS performance is not nearly as high as FF 3.5 or Chrome, but for some reason it feels just...

Are you referring to Old Style?

Well, at a grocery store we can buy 8 hot dogs for a few bucks too.

They're only $4 there.

I think taking the El is definitely an experience for tourists. I actually prefer the Italian Beef over the Chicago hot dog. You could try out Al's Beef. There are plenty of places to get a Chicago style hot dog, either near Wrigley or downtown.

I'll wait for Samsung.

Well, at least on the train you won't be sitting in traffic. I don't know if there are express trains on the South Shore line, but taking the Metra out of the city around rush hour is almost always faster than driving, especially on a Friday night. If you took the El to the northside you could...

That was a scary couple of hours.

I feel naked without access to GMail.

You could put the Fedora 11 Live CD on there and see how long it takes to get to the desktop. If you have multiple drives it will be repeatable.
