Wow. I'm so glad to have heard this for the 3rd time this week.
But seriously, these things will be great for handling all that bandwidth. Y'know, for the first time in the week when Slashdot posts about it being possible. Then for the second time when Slashdot editors approve a story that says it is rumored that one is in development and has been for some time. And then for the third time in the week when it's unveiled.
I'm glad that Slashdot delivers my advertisements to me in such an intuitive way that I don't even realize I'm being advertised to! It's kind of like the Home shopping network, only the remote on this form of media isn't broken, and I can change the channel. Which I'm going to do now.

convincing me to put a vibrating blade near my neck costs about a billion.

Ok, so what's with treating corporate names as plural? Cisco have a new router? I've never seen this used when referencing other groups of people (i.e. countries). You never hear "Britain have nice cars". Why is this suddenly the style du jour on Slashdot?
If you're talking about the corporation as an entity, shouldn't it be treated as singular?
Seriously, could someone explain this? It's been bugging the hell out of me.
