Why would you publish a private document not meant for the the public, one which you do not own? This is like showing your neighbors bank statement on your facebook page. Very unethical and irrresponsible. How would you feel if this was your company and your document? Nine Quake, he didn’t leak this, someone else did. He just analyzed it. I found it interesting that the form factors list didn’t include “Desktop.” It almost looks like Microsoft is anticipating the desktop becoming obsolete in favor of the other 3 (All-in-One, Laptop, Slate.) It will be interesting ... Read More

Jack of all trades, master of none - that's how the saying goes. But Samsung seems to have created a machine that defies that phrase. Packed into its R580 HD notebook is a Core i3-330M (2.13GHz) Intel processor, 4GB memory, 320GB hard drive and a DVDRW drive, for the (not insubstantial) cost of around £592 online . Samsung has also squeezed in an Nvidia GeForce 310M graphics system to make sure that video and gaming are trades that it also masters. Naturally, that hardware makes it a seriously quick machine. So while cheaper models might look like they offer a similar spec, it might be worth investing a little more to get ...

The breaking news coming from America that ten Russian spies have been arrested will for many come as a shock. After all the cold war is over and American and Russian cooperation is better than ever. However what this demonstrates is that even in peace time the worlds superpowers try to keep a close eye on their allies. As a detective agency , hearing about this is very exciting because it briefly highlights the murky world of spying and espionage between major governments. This case is particularly interesting because of the length of the spy operation conducted, the long term surveillance by the FBI and some of the spying ...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Kind of a new problem. I'm using grouping in this chart to hide data that is totaled in the column before the grouping. I have about 4 of these because I would end up with 40 columns or so. It's easier to display only the major catagory. If I use protect sheet and column locks to save formulas from prying fingers, I can't ungroup or group those sub columns without removing the sheet protection. I want to protect the formulas, but be able to group and ungroup sub-data cells for data entry and analysis. Can this be done. Hey, your doing great. Thanks for the help so far. Randall Chapman ...
I think Ubuntu would have a hard time in 384MB of ram. It would still work but it would not be as nimble. I would first try SAM Linux. It's a derivative of PCLinuxOS. I would download the Live CD and give it a whirl. It has most of the multimedia codecs and plugins baked in or at least readily available with the package manager. The next step down in hardware requirements is Puppy Linux and after that DSL (Damn Small Linux).
