<title>Pitiful Power - Best Buy's Power Supplies</title>
<link>http://newbieslinux.com/forum/?webtag=DEFAULT&amp;msg=4842.1</link>
<description><![CDATA[While it shouldn't come as any surprise to readers of this forum, Best Buy isn't the best place to buy computer parts. For their latest trick, they now have a "house brand" of power supplies. [H]Enthusiast has a review up on the poor things if you're curious, but the long and the short of it is they're grossly over-rated, unattractive, under-regulated, inefficient, noisy, hot, and over-priced with short warranties. Other than that, they're great. Still interested? Read on...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Mint is an offshoot of Ubuntu, actually. Mint 4 works a lot better than the previous where I could not use it for that same reason on the laptop. 4 works fine, and it saw and downloaded the WiFi and graphics drivers. I'm still planning on keeping Ubuntu on the desktop, though, I'm used to it there! I might break down and put it on the lappy, but I like Mint there... Mint does trash the OSD built into the laptop. but it duplicates everything I need to know, so it is no biggie, most distros do the same thing on it.]]></description>

<title>Distribution Release: Fedora 9</title>
<link>http://newbieslinux.com/forum/?webtag=DEFAULT&amp;msg=4841.1</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am grabbing two of them. I am downloading the big DVD on my fast Lenovo laptop and I am downloading the KDE Live CD on my old Dell Dimension 4100, plus I am running torrent on the Dell, and I am doing my work on the Dell Latitude laptop. On top of that, I have my work Lenovo Thinkpad T60 still turned on, though it is closed and "resting", but "on the 'net". Giving my Belkin G wireless router good exercise, and it is doing a good job today.]]></description>

<title>*Buntu 8.04 Ready</title>
<link>http://newbieslinux.com/forum/?webtag=DEFAULT&amp;msg=4776.1</link>
<description><![CDATA[This particular release is really good, at least from my perspective. Fast, better looking that the default KDE appearance, and you can still, if you want, load any KDE apps that you like, though they are not on the CD. In fact, you can load all three desktops: GNOME, KDE, and XFCE, plus lots of window managers, just as you might do in Mandriva or openSUSE or Debian. In this case, I won't. I already have two KDE instances plus a Live CD, so on my new box I made it XFCE, and I like that version best of all.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I seldom listen to the Radio except some rock or classical on the way to work. Ain't much around here. Lots of country and western. If it was not for the University and a couple of rock stations, it would be pretty bleak.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I paid a couple of Young men to work all one day, and almost made a dent. Rented a chipper shrewder and made PILE of wood chips < And that was only the back yard. By the end of the day I was wore out At least one more full day, and then a lot of raking and mowing. But I have some BIG trees. A few less than I had before all the ice storms. 2 BIG maples and 1 smaller, a Gigantic Ash and Pine both with trunks your cannot reach around. A big Oak, 2 Elm, about half a dozen large 20 to 40 foot around at the ground ornamental evergreens, Couple of smaller pines in the back yard. 3 mulberry, I had 4 plum and 2 cherry trees. Some grown up sassafras along the back fence. And one beautiful 25 year old tree a neighbor lady planted thinking it was on her land out front I can't remember the name of off the top of may head. she missed by about 10 feet. Her and my wife later became friends. I guess so she could visit the tree . < probably missed a few. As I type, we have a hail storm knocking the leave off most of them. About 5 minutes, and now rain....again, or should I say yet. Rain is slacking off now to a slow sready]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Most reporters aren't smart enough to be reporters, let alone know anything about what they're reporting. Be that as it may, we're still talking about a very old scam. And like all scams with any lifespan to them, it's based on a few facts and a strong need, so it's relatively easy to make a convincing presentation to a willing audience. Keep your eyes peeled; there'll be more and more of them as gas increases in price. They'll almost always be accompanied by side stories of how the Big Oil Companies bought up the idea to hide it, or the inventor got mysteriously killed, etc. Oddly enough, it's usually the tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theory crowd who is the most easily taken in by these scams.]]></description>
