Clicking a few buttons is a lot slower than simply typing the whole thing into a console window. The second time you need to compile, just press up arrow and <CR> instead of clicking a few more buttons. I have complex commands all automated into shell scripts running under gambas. So I only press one button for this kind of stuff. Under windump OSen, thats gonna cost you $1000+ and a lot of time clicking licensing buttons and a whole load of proprietary nonsense before you are anywhere near ready. Under Linux and Ubuntu, synaptic its just four clicks and 2 minutes. And I can install this across a dozen machine in under 30 minutes which would otherwise have cost me $12000+, a lot of management time getting POs authorized, a week to get the stuff delivered, and several days to get all the machines operational because each machine will fight you with some nonsense that requires further tech support. In any case the tech support would be worthless and not professional. No one has micoshaft source code to support windump OSen or its products. Its all based on ad-libbing nonsense. You really can't pay for that. In all give me Linux, I will bash out the brains of windummies with it.

Did you try that? In the /dishwasher/? Are you serious? I really can't imagine putting my HHKB in a dishwasher. I just take it apart a couple times a year to clean it out. I don't think the USB hub in it can survive a dishwasher. -- BOFH excuse #182: endothermal recalibration

I took it apart to see if all cards were seated properly and all fans were working. The woman and her boyfriend watched as I spent about an hour trying everything I could think of. Then I said I'd have to take it back to the "shop". As soon as I unplugged the keyboard and held it vertically, a *lot* of soda spilled out! She glared at her boyfriend (who was a big drunk and she soon threw out) and asked him if he has spilled one of his drinks into the keyboard the night before. At least he gave her an honest answer and said, " I don't recall doing so." LOL

Did you try > that? As long as you don't expect it to work afterwards -- sure, you can wash it in a dishwasher. Heck, put your Windows computer in there as well, to get rid of Microsoft crud, viruses and all the other rubbish usually found on Windows computers -- although most users won't notice any difference afterwards. Joking apart, I see a dozen or so drenched electronic devices annually, from cell phones to iPods to audio mixers and power amps, and often the only way to prevent a total loss is to disassemble it completely as quickly as possible, clean and dry out all separate parts -- preferably using a compressor to blow out any water from between crevices and other inseparable parts, and then assemble again. Sometimes, a hot-air gun can be useful to heat up the whole shazzam just over the boiling point of water, but this method can be quite risky if you don't know what you're doing. Most keyboards have these fragile conductor patterns on foil substrate, which can dissolve within mere days when wet, or even hours with electricity connected. The preferred method is to very gently peel apart the (usually three) layers of foil as far as possible, and dry everything. So in case of a 'little accident', proceed as follows: - Immediately disconnect the device from any source of electricity; this includes removing the battery. - Find a repair technician ASAP, or (if you're handy) disassemble the device ASAP. Waiting for even a day or two, three can make the damage irreparable. - Clean the parts, paying special attention to trapped liquid between layers of foil or PCB's and chips. Use a compressor and/or a hot-air gun to blow/boil liquid from between parts you can't separate. - Assemble and test. Richard Rasker -- http://www.linetec.nl

This does remind me a bit of those early days when all the AOL users first "discovered" that they could post e-mail and usenet news via e- mail. For quite some time, we were getting inundated with spam, multilevel marketing "opportunities", chain letters, and offers to help some nice lady in Nigeria cash a check for dead husband's oil company. Many of those early users didn't know any better. In the same way, most of the new Windows users won't know about bash, python, ruby, or even how to code PHP pages on Apache. On the other hand, they will be able to use many of the thousands of point-and-click applications WRITTEN IN python, java, Ruby, and tcl. That talk to back-ends they don't even need to know about.

Shiny perfect > sparkling white." > http://birdhouse.org/blog/2006/10/23/keyboard-in-the-dishwasher/ These people have been quite lucky; each year, I have to chuck quite a few devices because of dissolved conductors, caused by plain water spillage. Then again, there are indeed cases where just letting things dry up have been successful -- one guy once asked me to repair a TV he had literally fished out of the river, set to dry for a week or two and then switched on -- and it worked fine first go. My repair was resoldering some bad connections, a year or two later, and I could indeed see traces of water and algae in the cabinet. Pretty amazing. But disconnecting the power source greatly reduces the speed at which conductors get eaten away, so with a bit of luck, any water has evaporated before terminal damage is done. >> Heck, put your Windows computer in there as well, to get >> rid of Microsoft crud, viruses and all the other rubbish usually found on >> Windows computers -- although most users won't notice any difference >> afterwards. > > Replace it with Ubuntu... give yourself a good soaking. I couldn't agree more. Switching to Linux sure felt like a wonderfully warm, clean and pleasantly scented bath after leaving behind the noisome cesspit called Windows.
