The thread formerly known as the laptop thread but is now about random tech.

That seems pointless. Very pointless.

Okay, maybe that was a bit harsh, I can't blame the hardware (much (okay, I can blame it)). Maybe "A pointless console" would be more apt.

Well you can write off computers very easily and some people just burn money for fun.

Come on now. Seriously.

Really? There's no point though. You can get a full sized laptop with several times the power for that price. With either the same features or better ones.

I know, I'm referring to the laptop. As far as the PSP goes, I still think it sucks.

Okay, that's funny, but what is it from?

That's where I got it from. Dunno where your thinking of.

No, I mean what comic is that?

www.questionablecontent.net

I can't get the link to work properly.

Why not?

It puts "www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/" in front of my URL. It annoys me.

That's strange, how have you been typing it?

Then entering the address. Then ending the code

(You know, minus the spaces in the code)

I got it to work. If you type out the HTML for linking it does that and I don't know why, but if you copy and paste the URL from your browser address bar, it works.

Maybe someone in the IT department *cough*Virgil*cough* should fix it.

 

[Radelaide]

I think it's just my small knowledge of HTML. Hey Virgil... Wanna teach me?

No, I tried it too and it didn't work. It's goofy like that.

 

[crimson5pheonix]

Basic HTML seems to be working again, thanks Virgil!

So, to get this on track (once) again, apparently that old Toshiba Tecra that I have, which I thought had only 256MB of RAM, turns out to have 512MB, and I only noticed it when I was booting up Linux from GRUB. Double the memory that I thought it had, but still no graphics acceleration, and the WiFi still doesn't work in college. I'd curse it, but I think I brought it on myself for using Debian on a computer which was never built to support Linux instead of something easier like Ubuntu or openSUSE.

Haha. I've never really tried Linux. I mean, it seams like something I would do, except that I'm into games.

Anyone know anything about how the "$100 laptop" project is going?

What's that? I've never heard of it.

It was a project to create a laptop that could be sold for $100 and given to third world countries. Look it up.

You mean the OLPC? http://laptop.org/en/ Seems successful enough for what they doing.

As I read the last 2 pages I can only think this:

'Wow, crimson5pheonix your derailing powers are impressive'

Please, you give me too little credit.

Impressive is an ungodly understatement.
