wow! that's a good one. I won't refer to the tech wow! that's a good one. I won't refer to the tech value of the 'innovation', but I will comment a bit the spirit of this article. the yanks and other pals from the west cannot know but I bet that ppl who grew up in a communist country in the 80s (like Romanians, Hungarians, East Germans, Russians, Bulgarians) recognize the classic propaganda pattern. It really makes me sick. If you translate it in romanian and put it next to an old communist party document, you' won't tell the difference!!! trust me, I WAS THERE!
I just don't get it why the yanks stick to analog phones. what the heck, that's the most advanced country in the world (communication wise speaking) and they don't even have a digital cell phone network. The GSM 900 & DCS 1800 digital standards are cheap and virtually the entire European territory is covered, including eastern Europe. There is no global provider but there are 3 - 4 in every country and they have agreements. When you travel abroad you get roaming access. You just have to tell your provider which counties you'll visit and your phone will find the new network and use it. You're still reachable at your regular phone number. Depending on the provider, you can read your mail & browse the web directly on the phone, with no extra device attached to it.
in france I pay 400 francs =~ 70 US$ for a 512 kbps incoming, 128 outgoing ADSL line, with dynamic IP. 1mbpb incoming / 256 outgoing with static IP costs 1200 francs = about 200 US$ It's rather cool, to take you less then 15 minutes to downlaod and install start office on linux @ ome:)
just imagine yourself in the car: your car mp3 player (or laptop, or rio style device) is connected to your cell phone and you're listening to shoutcast & icecast streams. That's cool.

I just hope it doesn't HAVE to run as a windoze app. I want to install it on a partition like a real os. If not, it will spoil all the plesure!
the article says: "The Linux operating system is generally installed on partition type 83 (Linux native) or 82 (Linux swap)." I might not be great at English but I think this means you can find linux installed on a 83 partition but you can also find it on a 82 one. I just wonder how they did it to install linux on a swap partition....:) and yeah, it's nice to see they found out people start installing linux instead of windoze....

choice. may have features the gimp hasn't. More good apps on linux can only be good news.
I just watched mtv news @200kbps. works like a charm.

looks like (350 000 accounts) * (5$ / month) = $1 750 000/month sure money for uunet. :).
this makes it $21 000 000 / year. yep, that's cool
