Linux and the PalmPilot
My brother and I share many things, not the least of which is an interest in electronic gadgets. I tend to go big—new computers, new monitors, new expenses. My brother thinks small—Personal Digital Assistants, also known as PDAs. He's collected a few different models over the past couple of years. Right now I think he's working on a PSION or possibly one of those Redmond atrocities known as Win/CE PDAs. My brother says of these that "wince" is about right.
I had mentioned sometime back that I wanted to get a PDA and thought a U.S. Robotics PalmPilot (now 3Com) would be the one to get. I had read somewhere that there was Linux software for use with the Pilot and that meant I could download and upload data directly to my Linux system. Fortunately, my little brother was listening that particular day. For Christmas this year he gave me his old PalmPilot. Okay, it's used—but it's still a cool gift.
The PalmPilot actually comes in four different configurations. The earlier versions are the Pilot 1000 (the version I now have) and the Pilot 5000. The newer versions are the Pilot Personal and the Pilot Professional. The older versions don't have a backlit display and come with significantly less memory. They can, however, be upgraded. My brother had upgraded the 1000 to 1MB of memory prior to giving it to me. Besides more memory, the new models have version 2.0 of the operating system, and the Professional has a TCP/IP stack and e-mail tools.
If you're going to use a PalmPilot with Linux, you need to start with its HOWTO document. The PalmPilot HOWTO is available from the Linux Documentation Project (LDP) as well as from its official site. The HOWTO, written by David H. Silber, is quite easy to follow and offers all the information you need to get started. I should note that I managed to get the software working using only the HOWTO—I didn't need to subscribe to any mailing lists or scan weeks of newsgroup archives. This is a credit to both the HOWTO author and the simplicity of the PalmPilot.
The HOWTO points the reader to the primary software archives from which you can download a variety of packages. The packages of interest to the new user are:
pilot-link: The main package of interest, it includes the pilot-xfer program for transferring programs and data to and from the Pilot and Linux along with a host of other tools. The current revision of this software is 0.8.9. Note that the HOWTO links directly to the 0.8.2 version. The software archives list this package as pilot-link.x.y.z.tar.gz, where x.y.z is the version number.
PilotManager: Graphical interface to the Pilot for UNIX/X systems. Handles most of the tasks that the pilot-xfer software does from the command line, but uses an X-based interface. This is a Perl/Tk application.
MakeDoc: Turns text files into a document format better suited for the Pilot.
prc-tools: The package you need in order to develop software for the Pilot.
The first package to retrieve is the pilot-link software, which contains a collection of about 30 programs. Most of them have very specific tasks such as uploading or retrieving "Memos" or "ToDo" lists. Of these programs, the most useful is pilot-xfer. This program is used to back up and restore complete programs and databases, even the entire Pilot system. It can even do incremental backups automatically. All of the programs in the pilot-link package are command-line programs.
PilotManager is a Perl/Tk graphical interface to the Pilot. It apparently works with CDE's Calendar applications, but since I don't run CDE I didn't try this feature out. The list of features states the PilotManager has four primary features: uploading new applications and databases, synchronizing the Pilot with the CDE Calendar application, uploading text files as Pilot Memos, and backing up the Pilot to your UNIX system.
MakeDoc is a tool for converting ordinary text files into a compressed format. This format can be read by Rick Bram's PilotDOC reader, which is now a shareware product known as AportisDoc Trialware 2.0. Rick developed this reader because the Pilot's document handling was limited to relatively small documents.
Finally, prc-tools are a set of tools for building applications for the PalmPilot. This package is necessary only if you intend to do development work. If you go this route, you'll need to get the GNU gcc, gdb and binutils packages as well. All of this is explained in the HOWTO.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

I started with this turtle neck sweater. I bought it for the color. I never did really like the shape or the way it fit. It has just gotten worse over time. It is boxy and unflattering. So it was perfect for this project.
Here is what I started with.
And here is what I ended up with.
Then I put some burlap roses on it.
Originally, I made it for Abba to use as a library bag but.......
while she loved it and was excited to use it.
Once we put books in it, it really hug low......
in short it is to long for her to use with books in it. She couldn't even walk, but bless her she tried!! I however can use it just fine. So, I now have a cute new sweater bag, and had to add making one for her to my to do list.
Thanks for hangin' out.
I will be linking up here and to the other fantastic party's in my side bar. Please check them out if you get the chance.

A United Nations expert panel said last Tuesday that the world's poor need about $86 billion dollars to adapt to severe weather events caused by a warming planet and most of this money should be coming from the richest nations. Co-author of the report by the UN Development Program, Claes Johnasson said that "they much have help from the rich world. Climate is forcing people into human development traps." According to the study, half the cost or $44 billion would go for climate-proofing the developing nations and their infrastructure and the other half would be to help the poor adapt to how they live. A small $2 billion dollars would go to strengthening responses to natural disasters. In a not so surprising recommendation, the report suggests the biggest share should be paid by the United States and other rich nations based on aid targets, financing calculations developed by the World Bank and the G8 nations. In the United States, the Bush administration said that one of its top priorities is 'to alleviate poverty and spur economic growth in the developing world by modernizing energy services.' This report was published, as it is done annually, by the name of Human Development Report. This Report compares nations by life expenctancy, literacy, and other data. This year, not surprisingly, the focus was on climate change. It adds a calamitous economic perspective to previous UN Scientific findings that carbon gases as well as other green house gas emissions must stabilize by 2015 and then decline. The report goes on to say that without this financial aid to the developing and underdeveloped world, the planet will become warmer and a stall or even reversal in human develop will be seen. A staggering 2.6billion people live in these poor countries where they live on less than $2.00 a day. The science of Global Warming has shown that the global temperatures have raised an average of 1.3 degrees in the past 100 years. Impacts like extreme weather events, rising seas, widening drought, disease, harm to fisheries, forests and farmland will have an unnoticed effect in the financial markets but will impact the economy of the poor countries more in the later future. Some other numbers from another expert claim that 600 million more people in sub-Saharan Africa will go hungry, 400 million people will be exposed to malaria, 200 million will be flooded out of their homes and a huge estimate of costs will go into the insurance payments for weather related damages. Developed countries, meanwhile, are failing to meet their targets under the current climate treaty, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, for cutting greenhouse gases by 2012, the report said. France, Germany, Japan and Britain have reduced their emissions somewhat, it said, but the European Union is falling short of its goal of a 20 percent cut by 2020.

Behavior Status 3.0.1 is Out
A couple days ago, I released a new version of Behavior Status, Version 3.0.1 with the following new features.
Specific Behavior Tracking
Specific Behavior tracking came out of a conversation I had with a parent of an Autistic child. The parent was affiliated with the Jenny McCarthy's Generation Rescue program. After talking to the parent from the east coast for an hour, we came up with several additions to app. The new features were geared primarily at those who are trying to rescue a child with autism. And thus Specific Behavior tracking was born. Essentially what it allows you to is not only track the overall behavior as it did before, but you can now list behaviors you want to track. The list of specific behaviors are per child, thus each child can have their own list. As you may need to track different behaviors for different children. In addition, you can enable this feature on a per child basis, making it easy to only use this feature for the children you need too.
Other Updates in this Version
- Major Performance Improvement on the Home screen for users who have lots of child in the app
- New Calendar Preference to make it easier to see which days have data and which do not.
- A few minor bug fixes
While I do have an overall vision for where this app can go, new features are largely driven by requests from users, parents, teachers, etc. Be sure to keep the feedback coming!

Feb. 15, 2011 — If there was ever a time to get involved in the business of the Susanville City Council that acts on behalf of the citizens of this community, it is this week.
We encourage everyone to change his or her plans and attend the Wednesday, Feb. 16 public hearing on what could be a fiasco waiting to happen. At 7 p.m. this Wednesday, the council, made up of five elected officials, is soliciting your comments on "the possible temporary borrowing from the restricted Water Capital Improvements Fund in order to refund the Plumas Bank golf course note, or a portion thereof. The council will be considering the use of the other available monies as well."
The Water Capital Improvement Fund is a restricted fund, meaning it can only be used for improvement of our aging water system. Citizens may need to be reminded the minimum base rate for water increased in 2008 by more than $5 per month to establish the fund, and Mayor Lino Callegari stated at the time it is designed to ensure we continue to get the quality of water we have come to expect. It has taken nearly three years to raise $795,000 in what can also be called a contingency fund. Last spring there was a major break in a Cady Springs water line, and money from the fund was used to make repairs.
At its Dec. 15 meeting, the council approved using $230,000, of the Water Capital Improvement Project Fund to work on Phase I of improving the city's water infrastructure. The council did briefly consider balancing the city's general fund budget with the fund, but the council eventually said it wasn't going to touch the restricted fund. However, calling this public hearing suggests the council may have changed its mind, it is in such dire financial straits that it has no other option than "stealing from Peter to pay Paul," or as acting City Administrator Peter Talia told this paper it has no other avenues to pay off the note except temporarily borrowing money from another account.
We realize the city-owned golf course bank note is a problem the council needs to address. Talia said he would recommend the council not use those water funds, but instead use other funds. He also said if the note is not taken care of, the city would have to sell the golf course. The council agenda does indeed call for the use of other reserved funds to the tune of nearly a half million dollars. But if water capital improvement funds were not really a viable choice, why was the public notice written that way? Is saving the golf course worth the risk?
If you can't attend to the 7 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 6 meeting at 66 N. Lassen St., Susanville, you can submit written comments to the above address at or prior to the meeting.

Major Richard Winters, whose leadership of the division known as Easy Company during World War II was depicted in Band of Brothers, passed away on January 2nd from complications related to Parkinson's disease at the age of 92, his family said. William Guarnere, an 88-year-old veteran who served under Winters in Easy Company recalled, "He was a good man, a very good man. I would follow him to hell and back. So would the men from E Company."

Alternative Fuel
Posted May 31st, 2007 bySugar – to – Hydrogen Technology Could Lead to Fuel Independence
Researchers at Virginia Tech, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the University of Georgia have proposed using polysaccharides, or sugary carbohydrates, from biomass to directly produce low-cost hydrogen for the new hydrogen economy.
According to the DOE, advances are needed in four areas to make hydrogen fuel an economical reality for transportation: production, storage, distribution, and fuel cells. Most industrial hydrogen currently comes from natural gas, which has become expensive. Storing and moving the gas, whatever its source, is costly and cumbersome, and even dangerous. And there is little infrastructure for refueling a vehicle.
Using synthetic biology approaches, the researchers are using a combination of 13 enzymes never found together in nature to completely convert polysaccharides (C6H10O5) and water into hydrogen when and where that form of energy is needed. Polysaccharides are used by plants for energy storage and building blocks and are very stable until exposed to enzymes. Just add enzymes to a mixture of starch and water and "the enzymes use the energy in the starch to break up water into only carbon dioxide and hydrogen," said Y.H. Percival Zhang, assistant professor of biological systems engineering at Virginia Tech.

The Republican Party as constituted now wants to tax and spend just a tiny little bitty less than the Democrats. Those of us in the Tea Party wing want Government to tax and spend a whole lot less.

For some reason that i cannot fathom, the press seems to think that this grand bill will suspend the fundamentals of economics, right our ship and provide calm seas for smooth sailing. Yet, this bill did not address the core problem, we are spending 30% more than we take in.The debt will continue to grow, and our anemic recovery will fizzle as a result of capital being withdrawn from the private sector to pay increased taxes. While China has been a buyer of our debt, it has done so in order to support its exports to us. As our economy continues to contract, our purchases of consumer goods will contract as well.Additionally, as the Euro-Zone dissentergrates, Germany will recover as it is decoupled from the PIIGS. The press can bray all the want about policy and Bills, but if the fundamentals remain flawed, there is no affirmative change. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

I want the cliff back. I want anything that will stop the United States federal government from bankrupting us and the world. Sequestration had one huge advantage over what we have now: It did what no human being in Washington is capable of doing. It cut government spending.Obama won this thing the moment the Republicans let him tie his tax increases to the sequestration cuts. The Republican position should have been: We need to stop government spending. Until we get a President and Senate that can pass a budget, we´re going to have do it the hard way. Sequestration stops spending, and that´s got to happen whether we like it or not. In the meantime, the President wants to raise taxes. We´ve tried to stop him, and passed multiple bills in the House to stop the Obama tax increases, but he refuses to listen. The President believes that raising tax rates will solve the spending crisis, so he´s going to do that. That´s his plan, not ours. We cut government spending; he raises your taxes. If you want even more taxes, vote for his party in 2014. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

Sorry but you´re all a bunch of idiots.This plan is worse than the public showing of Plan ´B´, but probably not any worse than what Plan ´B´ would have been once implemented. Remember what Boehner did with the last Debt Ceiling deal?The Washington Reality is that Washington Elites do what they want to, to acquire power. This is merely rubbing our faces and our Conservative member´s faces in that reality. The way out of this mess is NOT to punish those who stood on principle, or reward those who have slapped us in the face.Our founders risked everything to give us freedom. Most ended up dying in the gutters, betrayed by people like these Washington Elites (who, by the way also enshrined slavery in America in those early years). If we want liberty we may have to fight for it - and I´m not talking about ´political maneuvering´. If they won´t stop spending, then we have to discover ways of starving the beast. We also must understand that IF we successfully starve this government monster, we must be prepared to defend ourselves when they come after us. They will come after us with Media, and with guns. They will kill us, if we successfully pose a threat to their plans and power.This is the beginning of the end of America, or the the beginning of a a renewed America.It is our choice.

The Republican party is a sham. It provides the illusion of choice and serves as the scapegoat for Democrats. Republicanism = socialism + militarism. Boehner´s goal was to protect our bloated military budget. The GOP has never reduced federal spending, has never eliminated a single socialist program. The history of the GOP is an almost uninterrupted series of retreat and surrenders. Unlike the Democrats, the GOP has never resolved the inner conflict between the Teddy Roosevelt/Nelson Rockefeller eastern big government progressives, and the western advocates of smaller government, who stay with the GOP, but almost always lose.

The Ongoing Disgrace That Is ObamanomicsPresident Obama has led America into an accelerating downward spiral. Destination: Argentina. Last Friday's calamitous jobs report was just a signpost on the way.Argentina enjoyed the world's fourth highest per capita GDP in 1929, on par with the U.S. at the time. But then the nation lost its way through its embrace of a leftist, union allied government, which took control of the economy and imposed wildly irresponsible taxes, spending, deficits and debt. After World War II, the hugely popular Juan Peron came to power and institutionalized the madness. It has been all downhill for Argentina ever since. Sound familiar?Today, Argentina ranks 53rd in the world in per capita GDP according to the International Monetary Fund, 57th in the CIA World Factbook, at a level less than one third that of the U.S. But its national debt at 51% of GDP is actually less than that of the United States under the Obama Administration, where we are rocketing towards 70% of GDP by the end of this year, and 200% in 25 years, according to CBO.

We're looking for a few good members who've run pre-workout supps before to test Animal Pump, head-to-head, against Shock Therapy. Both are pre-workout, creatine-based NO supps but in many ways are very different.
Animal Pump is a "pack" supp like all Animal products--pills inside a pack. The stims in Pump are milder, smoother but more sustained.
Shock Therpay is a flavored powder that comes in grape and punch. It provides a faster, bigger "kick" than Animal Pump.
Among fans, there are long debates about which is better. Here for example: Animal Pump vs Shock Therapy and/or Storm? - the F O R V M
For this mini-promo, we're looking for solid AM members who have ideally run a pre-workout supp before and would be interested in keeping a two-week sponsored supp log here. The goal is not to see how our supps compare to our competitors, but instead, how Animal Pump compares to Shock Therapy. We're just lookin' for more feedback... By doin' it this way, maybe we'll also avoid some bias. We shall see.
Anyways, we'll select 20 winners who will get 5 packets of Shock Therapy and 5 packets of Animal Pump. Assuming a 5-day split, this will work out to a week on each product, for a total of a 2-week log. The protocol will be to run Animal Pump the first week and Shock Therapy the second week and compare. Ideally, winners should get off on their supps a week in advance--especially those who are on comparable products. It goes without saying that the sponsored supp log should be honest. At the end of the two week sponsored log, a summary of your thoughts would be awesome.
So if you're interested in running this two-week sponsored log, let it be known here. Tell us why you'd like to run this comparo. Thanks fellas.
Gotta have a U.S. mailing addy and be at least 18.

Or the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Sounds like the government you know -- houses and be able to -- chips but here's the -- The school said OK you can Wear the ID card without the chip.

I'll wind on Twitter after this whole thing people are tweeting my address I didn't publish -- -- address yeah which is true but here's what he really wrote he wrote quote.
Because the NYPD is more interested in raping and or eating ladies in spying on Muslims and it is an honoring public records law.
The list contains only the names are not the addresses of the licensees so clearly he would have published -- -- the address is it just that they weren't there yet exactly -- So -- put in a little fat guy.

Wendi, today's society lacks civility, manners, deceny and common courtesy. Comments on the internet takes it one step further. And by the way, I've heard many people 'commenting' to one another in public, things that would rival anonymous internet chatter.
I think you know all this and I agree with some of the other readers, you should've included more diverse examples. I think you knew that too.

Hello, all. I am on day two of bedrest and I've been going crazy finding out as much as I can on pre-e. This is my first pregnancy and don't really know what to expect. I'm starting to think googling pre-e and having her early and the thoughts of preterm delivery at 31 weeks is increasing my blood pressure.
I have an ultra sound appt in the morning and I've been reading up on what to expect. I'm being seen twice a week. Monday, my midwife called and said my blood work came back wih numbers that concerned her.....although she never told me what the numbers were even though I asked.....is that a bad sign?? My blood pressure was 145/98, but after laying down on my left side for a few minutes, it thankfully wend down to 116/78. So far no headaches or floaters.....I have a mild/annoying pain on my right side - this started Saturday, I think.....and I did let her know what I'm experiencing.....
Pre-e does run in my family - my sister had it with her middle child. I don't remember if she had Sydney early since I was in college when she had her. I'm on 400 mg of Labetalol. The most medication I've ever taken my whole life is a claritin!!!!
I suppose I don't have any specific questions, I'm just glad I found this website and will continue to read up on what I can. Say a few prayers for me and baby E!!!

This may look like a petite little shoulder bag, but it is actually quite roomy. Measuring 23cm x 10cm x 5cm, it has a structured top with zip closure and multiple strands of pretty gold chain for a strap. A little bit of pleating adds even more dimension to the soft textured leather and the color is - well, I am not sure what you call that color. Salmon?

10 Dec, 12:23
Ireland's John Lacey will referee his first ever RBS 6 Nations match in February, while Alain Rolland is also included in the Elite Panel in what is his last season.
Robbie Diack did his rising stock as a first choice back rower no harm whatsoever with a try in each half, topped up by scores from Rob Herring and Ricky Andrew as the province's performance significantly improved as the match wore on.
On paper, the Ulster matchday squad was significantly strengthened by the inclusion of several members of the extended Ireland Six Nations talent pool.
Declan Fitzpatrick and Chris Henry, who both featured as replacements in last Sunday's defeat to England, came straight back into the Ulster team, as did fellow international Iain Henderson. Elsewhere, John Afoa returned to the replacements bench after a short stay in his native New Zealand.
Ulster could have burst ahead on the scoresheet within the opening 30 seconds, as Luke Marshall bravely charged down Daniel Halangahu's clearance kick, but the pace on the ball carried it into touch before the chasing Darren Cave could reach it.
The next home attack proved an even closer shave for the Italians, as Chris Cochrane's left boot grazed the touchline a fraction of a second before he grounded the ball in the left corner, the culmination of a move started by a fine individual charge by Ruan Pienaar with Andrew Trimble providing a deft final pass.
Zebre's luck ran out at this point, however, as an easy Ulster steal at the resulting five-metre lineout allowed hooker Herring in for an eighth minute try, converted from a tight angle by Pienaar.
The match lulled along at a sluggish pace for 20 minutes or so after this bright opening, with Zebre more than holding their own in terms of possession. Indeed, the visitors were next on the scoresheet courtesy of a central Halangahu penalty.
That 34th minute concession served as a wake-up call for Ulster. Good recycling from a well-worked lineout asked serious questions of an Italian defence which proved more than capable as it offered several minutes' worth of stubborn resistance.
After a pause to allow the injured Luke Marshall limp off and be replaced by Stuart Olding, Ulster benefited from a combination of guile and good fortune from Pienaar as they built for a timely second try.
The scrum half latched onto Trimble's punt forward and beat several men before seeing his attempted return pass to the winger bounce off an back-tracking Italian defender.
Luck shone on the Springbok, however, as the ball rebounded back into his grasp and he was able to set off a chain of cross-field passes which finished with Diack grounding the try in the left corner. Pienaar's conversion spun wide, but the lead was a clear nine points at the break - 12-3.
With Afoa, a half-time replacement for Fitzpatrick, using all his power to break tackles as the second period got underway, Ulster looked in fine fettle.
Henderson was unlucky to fall inches short of a try in the 46th minute as the Italian upright prevented him reaching over the line under several heavy challenges.
Three close-range scrums followed - the first two illegally turned by the Zebre pack - and while the third worked according to plan, Pienaar's pass as the ball was hooked out was much too strong and flew into touch before its target Cochrane could get near it.
Despite this setback, Ulster's dominance was now clearly marked. It was not long before Diack's second score of the evening came about on 57 minutes.
It was thanks in no small part to a fine cross-field line and dummy from Trimble, followed by sharp recycling and an astute pass from Cave to find the number 8 in front of the posts. Pienaar converted to make it 19-3 to Mark Anscombe's men.
As Dublin-born winger Neil Walsh came on for his first appearance in white and red with 15 minutes remaining, Ulster still had plenty to do in order to secure the bonus point.
Replacement scrum half Michael Heaney made a valuable contributionwith a darting run, reminiscent of Paul Marshall, through the Zebre defence.
Ulster pressed from a subsequent scrum and it was another rising star, full-back Andrew, who displayed the requisite power and craft to beat his man and cross the try-line for the first time at this level.
Pienaar's angled conversion split the posts to raise the home tally to 26 points and complete a satisfying night's work for the Ulstermen.
The bonus point could yet prove of the highest importance as, with Glasgow scoring a hatful of tries tonight against the Dragons, it keeps Ulster seven points clear of their nearest rivals. They meet at Scotstoun Stadium in the next round.

My question is can this computer be upgraded and if not why? This is just a temp computer right now until we get more $$$.

If you were able to educate your son a lot, how do you not know the answer to the problem? As above, more specs are needed to arrive to a conclusion.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/iBUYPOW...rive/6979787.p?id=1218818468711&skuId=6979787 FX-4100, HD 7770, 500GB HDD, 8GB RAM. For a prebuilt, I suppose it's alright. An FX-4300/6300 would be better but good luck getting one of those at Best Buy. The GPU seems to be a good match for the rest of the system at the least.
All you had to do is google the model # http://www.bestbuy.com/site/iBUYPOW...rive/6979787.p?id=1218818468711&skuId=6979787 Is upgradable but as with all Proprietary builds its questionable as to how much it will cost and how much work. They use cheap power supplies, and other parts to cut costs so if you want to upgrade the GPU your looking at a power supply also. The CPU upgrade would be a shot in the dark but should work. Same with memory. This is the problem with buying a system like this your not sure what your getting. For slightly more you could build your own and control the parts you will get. A qualitly PSU is the heart of any build and would allow for upgrades in the future. This is why most of us here have expensive power supplies so we can swap parts and not worry about stressing the PSU
i think ibuypower will charge great amount for shipping of the pc. i would say buy parts from a micro center if nearby, or other usual store such as bestbuy. mostly microcenter has great prices. Edit it seems they charge less than 100. Still self build pc is going to be better priced
multiquote is your friend! I agree. We were doing research. He bought an HP Envy and the graphics card sucks. Thing is he wasn't there when his stepdad who doesn't know computers picked it out and now is mad. Supposedly the salesman told him it was the top of the line Gaming desktop and only paid $1,000. I think not. There will willing to give him $500 in a trade toward another computer or upgrade Vid card. I agree about starting from scratch, that way you know what your getting. Didn't say I was a genius but am fairly educated in the field. I didn't know the answer so thought because of the lack of information Best Buy gave someone would know since they didn't have any pics of the inside of computer
I believe you be better of keep saving and when the time comes build it your self's and make a project out of it .. Buying low end is going end up just costing you even more.. However if you cannot wait maybe second hand parts ?, which there is TPU members that have some good prices.
I looked at the link and I still don't know the mobo or the psu. I'd avoid that. Spend 600 at a place like ncix or the actual ibuypower website so you know what you are getting.
This is why you should never buy cyberpowerpc or ibuypower both are the same bad comany... Exploding Computer Power Supply - Solid Gear "480... http://www.psudatabase.com/solid-gear-sdgr-480-480w-atx-power-supply/
Don't buy computers from salesmen. you must know a supa nerd in the family that could throw together a PC for you.
ibuynotsomuchpower-pc Build it yourself, its a good learning curve experience. There are people on here that can build to your budget and even assist with the put-together. The result will be an altogether better PC that wont be made of cheap knock-off components that will last, not to mention decent warranty, and probably more power.
+1 totally. @waspman3 I wouldn't buy this either like the others here, as it will turn to be a false economy. This is one of those times where you've just got to byte the bullet and spend a bit more to get something decent or you'll regret it.
708$ with 25$ rebite cards +3 free games. way better then bestbuy offer. edit: toke me about 15min digging in newegg. with a little more time in online shops you will probably get even better prices
Hey I used to be a computer salesman! But I'm a super nerd like most of us here. Well there is always an option to go a pc off the shelf and replace the psu and put in a gpu.
Ya but by then for the same money you could do something like the newegg screenshot above and come out ahead. I say build it yourself, even if it ends up costing a few bucks more the end result will be better. Plus you get a chance to pick out exactly what you're after all the way around, and for me at least, most of the fun is putting it together lol
Take the $500 and buy a new PSU and video card. Heck, for $500, you could also get a SSD and really speed up his system. For $500, you could buy the 3 items AND have BB install them, which would most likely make the non-computer people more comfortable. Ok, might have to drop the SSD. Don't start over with a cheap (and most likely cheaply made) computer.
I second this. A new graphics card , power supply and your set for any future upgrades. You can't plug anything in wrong (unless you force it) and there are plenty of YouTube videos and all of us here to help

A report by the National Academies, which advises our country on science and technology, last fall found that the U.S. ranks 27 out of 29 wealthy countries in proportion of college students with degrees in science or engineering. It called on federal and state governments to improve teaching in math and science by targeting early childhood education, the public-school curriculum for both, and by supporting teacher training in crucial subjects.
1,000 Scientists in 1,000 Days, a program that Scientific American is now launching as part of its Change the Equation initiatives with our parent Nature Publishing Group, aims to help with all of those goals by making it easier for scientists and teachers to connect. The idea is simple. We seek scientists who are willing to volunteer to advise on curricula, answer a classroom's questions, or visit a school—for instance, to do a lab or to talk about what you do. How much you choose to participate will be up to you.
In another education activity, every year young scientists and Nobel laureates gather in Lindau, Germany, to exchange ideas; we're pleased to announce that the Lindau Meetings are extending a special invitation to the scientist attendees to be a part of 1,000 Scientists in 1,000 Days. (If your organization is also interested in such outreach, please let us .)
Scientists, mathematicians, engineers: We hope you will consider participating in this worthy program by volunteering using this form.
Teachers: To start searching for scientist volunteers in your area sign up here.

Oregon wildfire updates: Holloway slows, Barry Point grows
EUGENE, Ore. — Several lightning-caused wildfires in central and southern Oregon have grown dramatically, prompting fire officials to enforce closures and evacuations across the state. Firefighters have had to deal with difficult terrain, dry weather conditions and thick vegetation at many of the fire locations.
There are thunderstorms predicted for Sunday night in some parts of the state. The weather forecast for the area where Oregon, California and Nevada converge calls for hot, dry weather through Friday.
The massive Holloway fire in southeast Oregon continued to grow, but only marginally, wildfire managers said Sunday.
The fire has burned 279 square miles of brush and sagebrush in Oregon and 218 square miles in Nevada.
No occupied homes are threatened in the sparsely populated area, but the fire concerns a ranching community that lost much of its summer forage in the recent Long Draw fire. Fire spokesman Jack deGolia said several abandoned homes are threatened.
Another fire representative, Alexis West, said there was not much growth in the blaze Sunday but adds that a shift in wind expected later could test fire lines.
Lightning has been a common theme in the cause of dozens of fires in Oregon started last weekend.
One of those fires is the Buckhead Complex fire, made up of 15 fires burning in the Willamette National Forest near Oakridge. Flyover surveillance taken near Oakridge Friday gave fire officials a better glimpse of the fires started Sunday by a lightning storm.
The fire has caused local road and trail closures, as well as restricting traffic to the Oakridge airport. The U.S. Forest Service currently lists the fire as 515 contained and burning 136 acres in the area north of Oakridge. There are currently 216 firefighters and crew members fighting the blaze that is burning through the difficult timber terrain.
The Barry Point Fire has burned nearly 36 square miles, or 23,000 acres, as of Sunday near the Drews Reservoir area in southern Oregon. Authorities have issued a level three evacuation for residents around the reservoir, because of an "immediate threat to life and safety" from the lightning caused fire.
Fire spokeswoman Renee Snyder said an evacuation notice remained in effect for about 15 homes near Drews Reservoir. Residents in another 30 homes have been advised they might receive such a notice and should have a plan in place if the situation worsens.
The National incident Management Organization plans to hold the current fire lines while continuing to mop up the western and northwestern lines, with winds predicted blowing the fire in that direction early next week.
They also are preparing contingency lines to stop the fire if it breaks past current lines.
The fire started Monday about 20 miles southwest of Lakeview and is listed as 25 percent contained on Sunday. There are 1,112 fire crew personnel and resources working the fire.
Ten Mile Complex:
Along the Idaho border in the far eastern part of the state, firefighters said they had established containment lines around some of the fires in the Ten Mile Complex fire south of Vale, listed at just over 9,000 acres.
Officials issued a level two evacuation for residents in the path of high winds Saturday night. They cancelled the evacuation orders Sunday morning.
There are primary fire burning in the Ten Mile complex is the Banana Lake fire, which has an area of nearly 5,000 acres. Firefighters have the fire completely surrounded, but dealt with flare-ups along the fire lines throughout Sunday.
There were 100 personnel listed as working the fire Sunday, but more firefighters were arriving throughout the weekend to assist with the fire.
