A coworker brought in his OLPC the other day. It was adorable.
Kaylee: H-how did you... g-get on...? Early: Strains the mind a bit, don't it? You think you're all alone. Maybe I come down the chimney, Kaylee. Bring presents to the good girls and boys.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm seriously excited to see the thing, but I have to let him play with it first. Wah!
He's been needing something very portable, but not PDA/smartphone portable, and this has gotten some great reviews from a few friends of ours. Definitely not suited to be anyone's primary machine, but especially if you keep your documents and such online, it's brilliant.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I read somewhere that the Eee PC has been hacked to run OSX.

All is well that ends in pizza.
BTW, I am two days now running Firefox 3, Beta 4.
Seems solid.
I'm not too thrilled with no choice on the theme without downloading one.
And of course, the breaking of addons and extensions until they are upgraded.
...but overall it's shiny.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Have you noticed a speed increase?

yeah, in some sites it seems smoother to load pages that were clunkier.
Also the download boxes come up crisper. They were lingering in the latest v2.
I've added the link to the betas to my previous post.

Any DocBook users in here? I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between keyword and subject elements for metadata. DocBook documentation is not very specific:
Keyword: One of a set of keywords describing the content of a document.
Subject: One of a group of terms describing the subject matter of a document.
Is there really any difference between the content and subject matter of a document??

Maybe keywords are individual words and subject can be compound things, i.e. a keyword is "slash" or "writing", while a subject is "fan fiction"

Maybe keywords are individual words and subject can be compound things, i.e. a keyword is "slash" or "writing", while a subject is "fan fiction"
Also, keywords could be user entered, using any words to describe the content. (Like tags or keywords from Dublin core metadata.) while subject could be from a controlled set of descriptors, like standardized subject headings.
