BTW, cool Podcast ND.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. We're having a blast recording it. We are watching Ice Pirates and Terror Firmer on Sunday to prep for the next episode.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Treo running Linux appeals to me, and perhaps a fair amount because it'll come with Opera. I'm kinda easy that way.
Then, the iPhone is just so freaking sexy, but there is the lack of keyboard thing.

Yeah, I'm curious about the keyboard thing on the iPhone, but historically Apple gets UI very right, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's going to work quite well.

Hey. New board.
ita, where are you finding information about a Treo with linux? I can't find anything about such a device in my googling...
Because that sounds cool.
Signed,
Wants an iPhone very badly but will not be switching back to Cingular until I can pay $20 a month for unlimited internet or less, and I keep hearing we won't be able to unlock iPhones.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I can't find the exact article where I learnt about Palm and Linux (you're harshing my mellow, Scola!), but it was a result of searching for info about running Opera on a Palm (it's lovely on my phone, but too small), and apparently they've licensed their software to Palm for a new set of Treos. That would be Linux-based.
Fuck--if my router can run Linux, why can't my phone or PDA?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

So the printers.conf file apparently doesn't list the Dave mappings in it. I ended up just spending the morning deleting and recreating the printers on all the Macs. At least it's done. Thanks for the attempted help.
To answer the question as to why we're using Dave, I was told it was because Tiger apparently has some authentication issues where Windows print servers are concerned. The other work-around they tried was to add the Microsoft AD username and password to the printers.conf file, but that meant having to redo it every 90 days on each computer when the users AD passwords expired. Using Dave was easier.

How do you get rid of the folders of OS uninstall info in Windows XP? I'm pretty sure I'm not rolling back 95% of it, ever, and I'm looking desperately for space on my C drive.

More questions--man, I'm having a troublesome May.
I have a dual monitor setup (nVidia Quadro, HP L1940T, Dell 2001FP), but the system insisted on setting both monitors to the same resolution. Because I'm pretty sure it doesn't have to be that way (ran 2048x1536 and 1400xwhatever at last job), I decided to uninstall the drivers and start from the beginning. The nVidia nView looked especially problematic.
Is it possible to install your monitors before the card? When I click through to Advanced it shows me Default Monitor and no way to install drivers.
Or maybe it's the 2001FP driver set--there are three files (INF, CAT, and ICM) and I can't follow their instructions since I can't install drivers from the Driver tab. I try doubleclicking on the INF file, nada. I try Add Hardware from the Control Panel, and that location doesn't contain information about my hardware.
Right now I'm running singleheaded on the HP monitor, and it's the same deal. No indication that it found new hardware, and the list of resolutions supported is independent of the monitor's actual ability.
Googling is of indeterminate use so far, although I'm iterating through various possible useful search terms.
Any tips?
