Rossey ended up signing a two-year, $450-per-month contract for a T1 line that delivers 1.44Mbit/sec. of bandwidth. He pays 10 times more than the cable provider would have charged and receives one quarter of the bandwidth. Sure he's not getting the speed that you would get with a traditional cable internet connection. But on the bright side, he gets a static IP address, more reliable uptime, better upload speeds and he's not bound by the whole "Thou shalt not run a server" thing that most cable companies impose on customers in the TOS.
If monthly cost is a concern, he could pay the $7000 outright and get lower per-month billing and the cost-savings per month could pay for the installation.
How many lawsuits is it going to take before Sony gets it into their head that rootkit=bad? I, for one, am going to fight against our new malware overlords.
Now I'm kinda riding the fence. I've loved John Goodman as an actor since The Big Lebowski; but Susan Sarandon is one woman I absolutely cannot stand. Who knows? Maybe less of her will be shown and things will balance out in my favor.
Wasn't there already a story on the next generation "series of tubes" a few weeks ago? It's supposedly supposed to be run on thousands of distributed networks and run on fiber and weld and create life and bring world peace.
India has the most English speaking people of any country in the world. Fluently... that's another story.
I've worked with several people from India and their English was quite good and their grammar was impeccable. (better than mine at times) But basic turns of phrase, jargon, acronyms, and slang would leave them confused.
They, like most people, can learn to adapt to those kinds of things over time. Of course the people I worked with were either immigrants or here on student visas. So they were in the country for a good deal of time to absorb all of this extracurricular English. I can tell you one thing: the ones that will return to India aren't going to work in any call center.
I could post something equally out of the realm of known science, such as Dyson Spheres, and be modded Interesting. But when it comes to something that is not out of the realm of possibility, it goes largely mocked. Tesla, Dyson, Einstein and Galileo were all scientists who didn't achieve greatness by sticking to known science.
Keep an open mind and don't accept every theory you hear out of the scientific community as fact.
I'm not saying it is at all; but couldn't this be some sort of large, slow-moving comet with the fusion characteristics of a star? It could happen. The universe is a large place.
It's amazing how much Gene Roddenberry changed the world just by making it all up. If we're seeing Star Trek gadgetry now, I'm in awe/wonder/terror as to what it's actually going to be like in the 23rd century. There is a documentary out there on this topic called How William Shatner Changed the World by the History Channel.

Only in the world of the good Dr. Seuss may you ride in the bambulance.
More like they got caught in hypocracy. Therefore pwn'd.

In deed. I know after looking at all those other guys, I could use some eye candy.

Couldn't just merely reading /. posts be filed under "Continuing Ed."?
You mean they will send in the Boy Scouts of America?! *shakes in his boots*
This is obviously an attempt to FINALLY find some hardware fast enough to support Vista!
Then what good is it? (waste of time)

Does that mean that in the interim, we might actually get a REDUCTION in the size of the WMP11 download?! As an admin, that would just be a godsent.

As someone who is dealing with a frivolous lawsuit right now, don't tempt me.

AMAZING! In all likelihood, English was their first language too! I think I'm going to break-down and cry from all this excitement.

Enron folded after some financial misdeeds. The investors still had someone to sue. There is always someone to sue.
*knock knock on your mind*
