The packeteers are also *very* expansive for a private person to use on his dsl-line.:-)
If I'm not mistaken, the least powerful version scales up to 45MBit/s and costs about $20000.:-/
But on the other hand, a thing that large would probably be used mostly as bulk-storage.
And if you need to get to the data more often, you could put a fast raidset in a server with lots and lots of ram to work as a cache for your set of 12TB storageunits.;-)
Hmm...
I think I'll just wait for Sony/Ericsson to finish their P800.
Seems very promising.
Nice size, good screen and it's gui seems to work pretty well.
But, as usual when it comes to cool gadgets, it will probably be out of my pricerange.:-(
And they *have* to release it in other colours than baby-blue. x-p *brrr*
But if you'd be using Openoffice, Gimp and Mozilla at school, you'd be able to give the students a cd with the Windows, Linux and Mac versions of the software. That way, they'd be able to use the same software regardless of what OS they're using at home.
It is supposed to be used as a mp3player at home.
Don't tell me that it is impossible for you to build a 10Mbit network from your stereo to your computer.
The cost is that of a 10 year old networkcard and som leftover cat3 cable.
I'm thinking of buing one so that I won't have to connect my Archos JB6000 every time I want to listen to mp3's in my livingroom.
I could of course run a audiocable from my mixer in my bedroom, but then I wouldn't be able to change music from the livingroom.
And regarding ogg. This is what their FAQ says:
"Other codecs (Ogg vorbis, WMA, raw PCM)? The SliMP3 supports MPEG 1/2, layers 2/3, for both VBR and fixed data rates up to 384Kbps (the maximum for MP3). The SliMP3 server software will soon support automatic endoing/transcoding from other formats, but the player will still speak MPEG."

I'm sure this is redundant as hell, but there is also Nectarine, scene music radio.

You can always do what I did. Resign. :-)

But on the other hand, the situation might be just as bad at your new job. (If you get one, that is.
I'm sure this is redundant, but it *is* a movie with rather young children as one of the intended audiences.
And young children are often to slow at reading to watch subtitled movies...
It's not off topic. ;o)

You'll have to take the system by surprise.
Do something unexpected and then switch kernel while the system is still confused.

What you're saying is making a lot of sense.
But if you'd be using Openoffice, Gimp and Mozilla at school, you'd be able to give the students a cd with the Windows, Linux and Mac versions of the software.
That way, they'd be able to use the same software regardless of what OS they're using at home.
On the other hand, not even the x-box costs one third of what your "running Max Payne at 1280x1024 at over 80fps" pc costs. :-)
I do agree with you that it'll be hard to get a ps2 to compete with pc-graphics though...
Well... It'll be perfect for everyone who's bought the ps2-linux. :o)
You've got ethernet.
You've got keyboard.
You've got mouse.
All you need is the EQ gamedisc.

Fibercables are expensive, and the tools used for welding contacts, etc, are *really* expensive.
:-)
(You can forget about running pre-made cables in your walls.
It's better to stay with the cat until you really *need* fiber.
When that happens, the technology might have dropped a bit in price.
Will probably be a while until then, considering that you can run 1GBps over cat6.
And while we're at it, why not get rid of the idiotic smtp-protocol.
Replace it with something that *doesn't* let you fake your return-adress, or that dump mail whose return-adress isn't valid...
Well... Actually, a "mil" is 10 kilometers. :o)
