They're actually quite decent knives, although not quite on the level of Wusthof or so on. For someone just moving into an apartment, or a wedding gift etc, this is a great buy. I'm considering it just to save until someone I know gets married, heh.
I switched my order to "ship as soon as possible", and then back to "make as few shipments as possible", and it switched me from one shipment to two, still at free shipping!
Still, none of it will be here for a while, but quicker.
Logitech's wireless things use RF (radio frequency). So, it's not line of sight, and although there are still things that will block the signal, wood is not one of them. This should work just fine...
This kit is for people who want to learn about programming for PS2 hardware, but can't afford Sony's DevKit, as they are far more expensive. This will not make an effective general-purpose workstation; the PS2 architecture is designed for gaming, and its memory is not sufficient to sustain the...
One nice thing about the extra buttons is that they're programmable. I have the Logitech Optical Mouseman Wheel, and have the thumb button programmed to minimize all windows, which I find quite useful. A good friend has his programmed as the "enter" button, and he swears by it...
I also have experience with cheap cards failing. Some of them work right, most of the time. However, you get into all sorts of problems at times. Take Linksys, some of their cards come with the advisory "We recommend you do not use the TCP/IP protocol with this card". WHO would...
The screen is indeed 800x600, and it is TFT, not HPA (I would never consider an HPA screen, I can't stand them!). For some reason, IBM's webpage won't let me browse their ThinkPad selection, but I have seen this model elsewhere (usually for $1500+)
I went through with the order, and have my order confirmation. I brought the price over with a spiral bound notebook (which I need for next quarter's classes anyway) my total is:
$901.57:D
IBM does tend to make nice hardware, and their notebooks are no exception. However, make sure to avoid the HPA screen (this one doesn't have it). Also, note that the pointing option on these bad boys is one of those little pointing sticks... IBM makes them a bit rough for a tactile sensation...
About DSL and phones... the data for voice and DSL are on entirely different frequency ranges, but the DSL range does add annoyances on the voice level. The preferred (for me at least!) method of dealing with this is to simply have a POTS (plain old telephone service) splitter installed where...
There is Linux support for PPPoE. At the moment, a good choice is the Roaring Penguin PPPoE software (available freely). For the future, PPPoE support will be in the 2.4.x series of the Kernel, currently slated for December. Any linux distro will do really (they can all be configured to help...
The FPS2000 has support for Creative's proprietary digital out on the Sound Blaster Live!, and the FPS1800 does not... The difference between digital audio and analog can be signifigant.:)
