So the widespread use of emojis these days kinda makes forum smileys pointless, yeah?

Alright, cool, Thanks c0Ld. That's mostly what I was wondering, but, does your machine have the option to change the boot order to boot from the USB before the Hard Drive?
Yes, I've booted from usb with it before.QuoteI saw one of these at a store a week or so ago. I tried to type on it and thought it would fucking annoy me with such a small keyboard if I owned one lol.
I got used to it pretty quick.
Yehaw. You got me, I'm going to get one.

Hello, I'm looking into buying a new asus 1000ha eee pc. I really like the fact that they are so cheap, but I am worried that I will sacrifice important features, for a lightweight frame and an inexpensive computer.
Part of the thing that concerns me is that I have noticed that some of the websites have confusing, and often wrong information. For example, this website says that it has a 160gb hard disc drive, and later says it has a solid state drive.
I also just read that the 1002ha has wireless 802.11 n, and bluetooth. The 1000ha has wireless 802.11 b/g, and also more battery life (about 1/3 longer; 6600 mAh, versus 4400 mAh)
The computer also doesn't have a disc drive, I'm not all that concerned about that, 'cause I was planning on getting an external drive for when I need it. But, do you think that this computer's BIOs would boot from USB, or even a USB CD drive?
What are your thoughts? Are the features like bluetooth, and wireless n really that important? Would most modern day routers let the b/g connect, as well as the n?

« on: December 25, 2008, 09:56:33 pm »One cool thing about it is when the battery reaches 0% it turns off the radio signal, but leaves the phone on for a matter of hours before it dies completely.I don't know if they've improved it, since I have an older Blackberry model, but that's quite possibly the most annoying thing about my BB. So many times, I've carried it for hours without getting an email, then realized that the radio had turned off last time I charged it, and it'd stayed off. Unless I'm using it for more than pulling email (which I rarely do), I never notice the radio automatically turning off.

I agree with that, it sucks when you need to use it and you realize the radio's turned off. It is also good if you do use it as an organizer, or just use it to play games on it to kill time.

I have a BlackBerry Pearl, I know it's a different phone, but I would imagine that they have a lot of similar aspects. One cool thing about it is when the battery reaches 0% it turns off the radio signal, but leaves the phone on for a matter of hours before it dies completely. I don't know if it has a GPS chip, mine doesn't, but I think it would be a plus. There are a lot of cool things at the website www.handango.com.
The support for the blackberry's is quite nice, too.
Sorry if my post has very little useful information, but that's all I know on the subject. That's also why I did a very broad review.

I was about to retract my post because I went there a minute or two after I asked.
Do you, or any others, do any thing special on the 26th? Are there any traditions that you, or your family has on boxing day?

What is the original tradition of boxing day? What started it?

« on: December 24, 2008, 05:25:59 pm »What is it traditionally?And for those of you in Canada, maybe you can explain Boxing Day to me? It was a bit of contention with my friends in Canberra, but that's ALL the commercials have been talking about. Boxing Day this, Boxing Day that, blah blah blah blah blah, sheesh.
Boxing day is pretty much like your American Black Friday thing, except on the 26th of December. This helps stores clear any stock they don't want after the Christmas rush is over, and allows consumers to get their hands on stuff cheap.
