'Consumers might not be responding well to paying individual subscriptions for single online games, but might react better to cable TV-like pricing in which they get access to a number of offerings for a flat fee.'
What happened to NO SUBSCRIPTIONS?
I'm still enjoying Tribes 2 online for only
the cost of being online. I'm not sure I'll
ever buy a subscription online game.
It's probably 2 years old, but I'm still stuck on it. Nothing newer has held my interest. It's available for less than $20 bucks now. Great multiplayer FPS.
1) How many of these "hiring startups" layed off more people in the last year than they plan to hire?
2) How many of these startups would it take to cover for the Lucents out there?
The Preferences Toolbar is a great add-on
for Mozilla or Firebird/Phoenix.
It has checkboxes to disable Popups, Java,
Javascript, Cookies, Proxies; to kill Flash, set the
user agent string and
much more.
(Killing Flash is only partially successful.)
Search for it.
Keen: there was an original film that "12 Monkeys" was based on called "La Jetee" [imdb.com]. Anyone seen it?
Yeah, it's on one of the Short Cinema DVD's.
It's not a conventional film at all.
It's a series of still images with naration
-- only a few minutes long.
IIRC, it covers the basic time travel paradox element,
but doesn't address the "Army". It was interesting, but "12 Monkeys" is much more accessible.
I was waiting for
this -- networked, progressive scan
dvd player that plays audio & video media files off
a PC. Even a PCMCIA slot for a wireless card!
They have a lifetime subscription option ($250 now?). Consider that amount part of the price
of the box and ask yourself if the combined price is reasonable.
If so, buy it and never pay a monthly fee.
If not, let it go and quit whining about the service change.
Tax software, unlike just about any other software, has a useful life of 4 and a half months (you wouldn't use it earlier than Jan 1st, and probably not later than April 15th) and infact, it's something you use exactly once.
...
If TaxCut proves to not be flexible enough for what I need to do ( a lot of contractual work, etc. Not a simple W-2 scenario ) then...
Uh, that's 3.5 months. Good luck with that complicated contractual work.
When Windows XP came out, I gave it a fair shot. I didn't boot Linux/X/KDE for 3 months. Outlook was a giant pain, compared with KMail. IE was a nightmare, and I had to install Phoenix to escape unwanted programs and scripts. Easy CD Creator had me longing for X-CD-Roast. And XP crashed way too often.
You're judging MS's apps, not XP.
XP + mozilla works pretty well, plus
I can play my games and use other MS-only apps.

Absolutely. She literally stopped moving her mouth for one line as she was leaving the crowd. (I double-checked with the Tivo.)
Neal Stephenson: Snow Crash, Diamond Age, Cryptonomicon (as many have said)
Ken MacLeod: The Fall Revolution series: The Star Fraction, The Cassini Division, The Stone Canal, The Sky Road. Lots of socialist and libertarian politics!
S.M. Stirling: 'Nantucket series': Island in the Sea of Time, Against the Tide of Years, On the Oceans of Eternity. Off season Nantucket island is suddenly shifted to ~1200 B.C. No one to fill the Piggly Wiggly. Learn to farm now!
Sheri S. Tepper: Where to start? Grass, Sideshow. A unique voice. I read a couple of her books and was confident in buying 6 more.
Connie Willis: To Say Nothing of the Dog. Time travel gets ugly.
Mary Doria Russell: The Sparrow, Children Of God. First contact handled by the Jesuits!

By the way, SAIC bought Telcordia (Bellcore) a while ago.

So what did you use?

How well does the pedometer work when
you're crawling on your belly?
You can push on the IBM trackpoint too.
Thanks, that trick is way cool!
Are there similar links to various
Slashdot panels?

-- Let's go do some crimes.
-- Yeah! Let's go get sushi and not pay.
-- Put it on a plate, son. You'll enjoy it more.
-- Couldn't enjoy it any more, Mom.
Seems like a great play to me. No MPEG4 though.

Why is anyone reading anyone else's daily adventures?
Seems worse than reality TV (which I hate). Ugh.
Actually, this is kind of disturbing -- varying content based on the referring page.
If I put a spice on something, it's to make it taste better. Is that insincere or deceptive or something? What's the issue?

Check out the Nebula and Hugo lists.
And the total is probably about the same or less than the price of the RCA box.
If it's the same GUIDE+ that comes on RCA TV's,
the ads are MUCH more intrusive -- over 1/4
of the screen while using the gude.
I saw a 42" plasma Sampo at our Costco. I think it was about $3K
