After reading an older article on the Domain Blog, I thought that it was worth reposting here.
A Chengdu college student named Shi Kaisheng spent all of his tuition money and savings on an unsuccessful investment in domain name registration, Chengdu Wanbao reports. Shi had registered more than 30 domain names since the second half of 2005, including stonesea.com, dayunhui.cn and libaiqing.cn. Every registration cost Shi a 60 Yuan registration fee and a 1,800 Yuan trademark registration fee per year. However, Shi has so far failed to sell any of his domain names. Shi said that he has no money for college tuition and may be denied a graduation certificate for defaulting on his tuition fees.

I noticed in an earlier post of yours that you recently switched from windows to Ubuntu and are using a Compaq 5017m monitor. I am in the exact same position, but I have found that my monitor will not stop flashing the OSD locked alert at all times. Do you know if There is a good place to update the firmware, or if my monitor is just broken?? Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a monitor issue. Test it out with a known working version of Windows and that should determine if its OS or monitor problems.
