It's a joke about how (insert number here) should be fast enough.
With no incentive for a company to offer better service to the customers you end up in stagnation. And while it might be enough today for most users it will halt the evolution for higher internet speed.
I'm a happy owner of an Asus EEEPC 1000H. The CPU or Ram are not the problem, the disk is.
As soon as the SSD disks come to a reasonable price / size I'm going to do upgrade my little one.
P.S: I'm currently using the netbook as a server(XP, since I need some app running only on this OS), but my network card is suffering and sometimes I need to reboot the system. Any idea?
Of course, today the virus spread made impossible to keep that system in a safe way.
I still remember the time when I was an admin in a small student PC lab. Every Win95 had his own public IP and no firewall. Today you would be called mad to have a setup like that, but back then it was the norm.
If you don't like the developed world, you can go and live in Africa*, they don't have any stock market there to ruining their life.

I mean the most underdeveloped African countries,
Erm... You do realise that games don't scale well past two GPUs, don't you?
Depends on the drivers, the 4850x2 are so exotic there are virtual no benchmarks in CF mode for modern games.
But you can get a used one for 120E now, hopefully will be well under 100E once the 6xxx series comes out. The power consumption and case space might be a problem tho.
Not everyone just gets their kicks out of drooling after graphics cards. Like e.g. I've got HD 4800 and still all the games I play run perfectly well at about 60 fps at max. details. There simply is no benefit in buying yet another card.
But alas, each to their own.
I have a HD 4850x2 and I don't get enough FPS.
But since the prices are dropping maybe I can by myself another 4850x2 and CF them together.
GPU's are lagging behind games right now, not like the Intel CPU, when you o/c them there is no game yet to need all that power.
but we all have occasions where we need to stop in a bus zone for a minute to drop something off
No, we don't. Unless you live in a village, your "one minute" stop is influencing hundreds of cars, creating a collective loss much greater than "one minute" that you're imposing on the society for egotistic reasons.
The one and only effect I'd enjoy of camera traffic control (being completely against it) is that it would reduce the dozens of "one minute quick stops just to drop something" that make me lose hours per year.
Stopping in the bus zone is completely legal (Slovenia) if you don't obstruct the actual bus. As for other cars, they are in no way disturbed, since the bus stop is an actual extra space on the road.
Every time I manage to replace one with a Linux box, I get an asshole who installs 2 new. This shit is spreading like plague in our VMware environment.
The problem is, most of this stuff I presume it will be turned ON and you have to waste your time in order to turn most of this shit OFF.
Like Facebook was fine when you shared your stuff with close friends, now when everyone is using it, it has become a PITA, like RL is when you share your party picture.
Hey hey, slow down Johnny boy. This is not how democracy works. The big corporations, using corrupted politicians, create new laws that will never ever benefit the working class. Now in return the working class has to pay through taxes or higher internet fees all the new expenses that comes with this new type of regulation.
And while the ISP is working his ass of to respect the new laws, a couple more legislation comes in order to track more user activities online, after all they are already monitoring what we are doing and if we didn't give a fuck the first time, why should we care later?

I already have a dual boot, but some applications takes too much time to be setup in Linux.
I guess I'll have to try it again, it's just that with so many server application I installed on this system it's a PITA to make a move on another OS.
Sure:
Low speed 33.6k with packet lost > 50%.
Hight speed: 56k with the same shit of packet lost.
Price:100 - 300E.
Since you don't have a choice what are you going to do?
This smells like communism in the worst form.
P.S: I don't mind communism, just the 80% of stupid monopolistic ideas.
I feel your pain. The patch will solve this, it must, it has to, .....

It is, if you don't use workers.

XP without SP and anti-virus can use as low as 40MB Ram to run.
Not every likes his OS to be a bloat-galore fest.
Free market at last.

In 2 years Apple will make a 3D TV and everyone will want one.
The key to this success?
1. Increase price
2. Fancy design.
3. Marketing
4. ????
5. Profit!
P.S: I always use open source whenever it covers most of my needs.

This is obvious. But if they earn money by selling phones, the more they sell, the better.
Windows? Fairly easy to remove.
Easy you say?
Every time I manage to replace one with a Linux box, I get an asshole who installs 2 new. This shit is spreading like plague in our VMware environment.
When they are selling the iShit for serious money, why would they care what you do with them?
Now, if they decide to sell their hardware for cheap, like the console market, then they would be pissed about it.
Why do we need to go away when we still have to colonize about 80% of our planet?
The fantasy to live on another planet is irrational.
