Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wget worked like a charm, Rick. Developer is all hooked up.

What tools do you guys use for web log analysis? For privacy reasons Google Analytics is pretty much off the table. Discussion here has centred around WebTrends and Unica Netinsight, but I was wondering what else was out there at the top of the market, especially something we could sample.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, typically netbooks don't even have CD *drives* let alone burners -- but we bought an external USB burner that we swap between netbooks and optical-drive-died laptops with 3 OSes, and it works perfectly, plug/play on all of them. I'd vote netbook for mobility and one or two externals at a central location if you *really* need it and it's not just make-work.

Also, we have a lot of weird/mismatched/half-dead hardware. This is probably not news.

So what makes it a netbook? Size?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Any recommendations on digital picture frames in the $50-$70 price range? Amazon has a lot on sale right now, from Opteka, Pandigital, Coby, and Kodak.

So what makes it a netbook?

There is another distinction. A netbook can get a special OEM price for Windows if it meets certain hardware restrictions, which is why so many netbooks are restricted to 1GB of memory. There are some that don't use the special pricing so they can have more capability, but they are the bigger and more expensive netbooks, typically with 11" or 12" screens.

I'm thinking about getting a GPS system. I need something that can give me a speed display all the time even when I'm not programming in a destination (maybe that's all of them, I don't know). I'm also not wanting to spend a lot. Any recommendations?
