totally just picked up the Aspire one like a week ago took some getting used to and some tweaks on the software side mainly user error : ( but other then that its a dream. except i dunno if its just the lack of wireless networks or what but when wardriving it doesn't pick up to many networks and when i sniff the WEP encriptions (My own ; ) or thats what im telling everyone lol.) around where i live i get no packets at all. not sure if the built in wireless is supported but have to defiantly look into that cause if not looks like an external car is the way to go unless there's a way to mod a new one in there. i have been using NetStumbler and Airsnort. also the point that dan brought up about no optical drive, just get power iso. make an iso of the disk and mount it. though there's no way to boot from it yet. need to see what i can do about triple boot. you really think that it will support OSX? i hope so .

Really? I don't find the lack of an optical drive all that upsetting.
I figure it's really just a sign of the times, what with cloud
computing and all. I can remember my first PC without a floppy (both
5.25" and 3.5") and that wasn't a big deal.

The only time I'd really need an optical drive is to install and OS
and even then most linux distros have USB versions and if they don't
its not difficult to burn an iso to USB anyway. Windows gets a little
trickier to install from USB but not by much.

As long as you have another machine with an optical drive, a few good
sized USB drives and a LAN you should be good to go. If sneakernetting
install files from CD via USB doesn't float your boat there's always
sharing out the optical drive of another computer on your LAN and
getting at the media that way.

I love my eeePC(i have a 900 series), but you did bring up some very good points. And the price is very nice to start with.

The thing that plagues sub-notebooks, or ultraportables, or whatever you want to call them is the lack of an optical drive. And each one seems to be picky as to what drives it'll recognize fully. Hopefully this will be totally standardized soon.

I really like the glossy look of the Acer.

The refrigerator is really big and nice one, but I can't guess that why that stove is giving such a distinct flame color. What is the use of having so many LCD in your room? it looks like a warship's cockpit!

@l337virus:
i thought that by defenition a sim wasn't real, so this MUST be a sim. other than that, is her cooking skill beg enough that she doesn't start fires, or does she need to study more? (i presume the latter)
(btw, it might be an idea to change the icons of the ppl... i don't think that she is blonde, wearing sunglasses, and has a beard as suggested by the pic with the blue box around it...)
other than that... VERY GOOD

Curses...I can't control this sim. It's like she's on total auto-pilot. :-P
And for some reason the "flood" disaster option is disabled. What's up with that?

Wow, I haven't checked out the Sims series for a while, but they have gone a long way to ensure that the graphic looks realistic!

Morning. Just found Hak5 and your blog from a friends twitter bot that scrapes local users. If you like Galaga alot and that machine is not in your house... I highly recommend these guys for a good cabinet <http://www.arcadeshop.com/galaga/galaga.htm>. If you scroll down to no fire cheat, you can see how to get an unlimited score too. ArcadeShop is awesome... that is where I bought my multicade <http://actionmoniker.com/dl/new_multicade/>

Cheers,

Might I also suggest some beer from Big Boss Brewery (formerly Edenton Brewing Company). Current line-up is Bad Penny, Angry Angel and Hell's Belle. They helped out a lot in our latest production. Not that I am just advertising for them, we contacted them about the help since we already loved their delicious adult beverages.
