True. Film has its benefits. I wouldn't dream of photographing landscape professonally with digital, although it is getting close. However, for magazines and newspapers, you can't tell the difference. And printing today is digital anyway, so why add the scanning step? As for cost, digital is just too much fun compared to film. Instant gratifaction, no waiting for the development, excellent platform for training. I own 2 digital cameras, both costed about the same as a good SLR body, my next camera will be Digital SLR, and I expect to spend USD 1500-3000 for the first step. And digital is cost effective, I have read many stories on dpreview about wedding photographers who have paid for their equipment in few months. However, I still have my 20 year old OM-2, it is simply a work of art.:) J.
It's more like finding out people or places near each other. Your homepage can be hosted in some other country, but maybe you would like to keep your personal location. And the DNS is only for each server, with this system, each page can have it's location.
"Already reeling from a stagnant economy and the illegal but widespread downloading of copyrighted music from the Internet..." Does that mean we are winning? J.
I want the opposide: A cell phone station that plugs into my land line, so I can use my mobile phone on land line rates. (Cell phone rates here are criminal!) I can't see any technical reason why this wouldn't work. J.
Aren't SMS already taxed? You pay for each SMS message, it shows up on your phonebill, and then the government adds salestax or value added tax. End of story. I assume that phone companies pay taxes there, like every other businesses.... J.
Looking at those 2fps videos (Videos in Flash? What's up with that?) I guess it could be pretty scary. Slamming you face down towards the floor, etc. And do you REALLY trust a robot for your life, that runs on Microsoft Windows?;) Have the 3 principles of robotics been imprinted in it's brain? J.
Apart from all the moronic comments about sturdy computers (Nice going Irishman, trolling in the story), Isn't this a clue about the silence in space? You know, the Drake equation? How strong must a signal be, to be heard? Pioneer is only 2x orbit of Pluto away from the Sun, and already impossible to listen to. Nearest star is 4.2 light years away, and nearest galaxy is "just" 75,000 light years away. How strong signal would be needed to communicate these distances. I know the Pioneer signal is only a few milli (micro?) watts, but still... J.
Mr. Lee never intented that the URL should be visible, and these days, when search engines have become "powerful enough" to find about anything, the domain name isn't that important anymore. Personally, I use Google to search for "someproduct or company" instead of someproductorcompany.com, I started to do this in the glory days of AltaVista. I think we should just allow any 3 letter top domain (aaa-zzz) and be done with it. 4 letters could be used for special purposes (.kids?) and 2 letters for countries. I can't see any technical problems with this, except that IBM would claim control over the.ibm domain.:)
But let me ask you this: What are you paying for each time? Service? Can you call something service that involves nothing from the service provider? Surely not Ms. Spears service, she did her work in the studio. The publisher? Ditto. For the enjoyment of the music? Here we are going on very slippery slope. I sincerely hope that it never comes to that I will be charged every time when I listen to my favorite song. The very thought is giving me shivers. It is too close "The right to read" story. J.
I can totally recomend them. Prompt service, simple billing, (basically $10/month for everything), and everything you need: unlimited mails, space, transfers for small sites. They only need IMAP support, I have been begging them for months now...:)
Where in heck does this #"$& soviet jokes come from? Did it originate here, like the "insensitive clod" and Natialie Portman? Or is something like "All your base are belong to us"? J.

This could be the thing I have been looking for. I'm trying to bridge a 12KM gap here.

You wankers!
And people who only regiesters domain names for redirects or "buy this domain for $1000" should be flogged in public!
