Anyone watch Private Practice last night?
I watched a few minutes of it with the intent to watch Dirty Sexy Money afterwards, but it hit me like 100mgs of Demerol. Did anything happen after Addison and Joe Hackett decided that they shouldn't make out anymore ?
Private Practice: in the scene where Violet was naked and Cooper was getting naked, the body double for Violet was TOTALLY A DUDE! I mean, it *had* to be, or Amy B. has a very masculine looking body.
Happy birthday sumi!!!
Matt, the whole rest of the episode happened! That was only like ten minutes into the show!
empress, I didn't notice, but I was running around like a mad thing
wanted to know if any of you have any info on the laptop itself?
It is a bit of an appliance, it runs Linux (a modified Fedora Core OS) so no iTunes, and additional software is limited to Linux. There's lots of software for Linux, but I doubt the OLPC is designed to add much. The specs aren't really sufficient to run a full featured Linux desktop in any event. OTOH, no serious threats from malware.
It's a cool piece of hardware though, I'd buy one just to have an ultra efficient laptop for travel and Internet access around the house. I don't think it would be very good if it was your sole computer.
Happy Birthday Sumi!
Gud, even if you are 8-years-old? I mean, I guess I'm trying to figure out if I should get one after donating one or just donate both? And if I get one, it would be okay enough to give to a kid in my life?
As long as the 8 year old isn't expecting to run Pet Vet, Math Blaster, or whatnot on it I think it would be just great.
That laptop intrigues me. I try and see it in the context of Jamaica, and it's not quite snapping into focus. I forwarded it to my cause-oriented sister and we'll see what she makes of it.
It is way too early for me to have already finished one meeting.
