If you want to see the inside of how "dot com" falls apart. Watch this movie, it gets long at times but if you've ever worked at one you'll get a feeling of deja vu.
I've been using Sprint's voice dial service since it came out and its pretty effective. I occasionally have to repeat myself, but I've uploaded my whole address book and it is very good at figuring out names.
For those of you unfamiliar with the system it works like this.

Its super convient when you are in the car or running through an airport and don't have the time to look down at the phone. The reason I'm impressed with it is because you don't have to "train it" to your voice.
Who said they are using YOUR bandwidth? Isn't it possible that they run two lines to your house, one is yours and the other belongs to the AP. I wouldn't trust my connection if anyone with netstumbler could get to my internal network and I'm sure that they wouldn't trust letting you have the ability to monitor all subscribers that connect through your AP.
The weekly e-mail from the Motley Fool website states they've decided to make the majority of good information on their site only available to paying customers for 20 some dollars a year. My first piece of "Foolish" (free of charge) investing advice is save yourself more than $20 a year by getting info from other web sources.
The CIA bugs everyone regardless of if they are our enemy or not. As a US citizen I'm a little worried that the CIA is slipping and got busted, I'm sure that a lot of my hard earned tax dollars funded this mishap.
Great now I all I need is for MS to merge with Disney and I can choose between my Porky Pig (AOL-Time-Warner) and Mickey Mouse (MS-Disney) OSes for my computer
I installed on an x86 box a while back but hardware support was such a joke. I figure that if I wanted *NIX on support on x86 I'd *BSD or Linux. If you _really_ need Solaris you are best off running it the all hardware supported Sparc line.
I look it at like this, Mac OSX looks good, in fact from what I've seen it looks pretty good, and I've read about the x86 port of Darwin, would I install it? Hells no! Because when the OSX has features added or changes made, how it affects the x86 port will be an afterthought if given any thought at all. If I want to run OSX, I'll buy a Mac. If I want to run Solaris, I'll buy a Sparc.
I worked for the University of Wisconsin, my deparment mandated that IBMs were the ONLY PC to be purchased, mainly because of the consitency of the parts that they used, and we had a lot of microchannel (MCA) token ring cards. 1997 was the last time I saw an IBM PC in use.
It may also be because the they were priced at a premium, but I've also noticed that no stores distrubute them any more, COMPUSA, Best Buy and even Radio Shack used to carry IBMs. I wonder whose decision it was to remove them from the shelves.
I haven't bought a major label CD for almost a year now. The only problem I see with not buying from major labels is when the sales numbers drop it will be blamed on the "evil" MP3 users and _not_ the fact that people are boycotting their practices or are sick of hearing all the crappy, color by numbers music they produce anyway.

Ahh, I remember plenty a night camped in front of the C64 playing "Hacker" and then later "Hacker II"
As I remember Hacker was all text and Hacker II included the text based hacking and a strange part involving moving a robot around a Russian (remember the cold war?) office building without being detected.
I'd be willing to bet that anyone will be able to login with SCOTT/TIGER and SYSTEM/MANAGER so it won't be too hard to figure out what data they are collecting.

My wife made me promise that computers wouldn't be involved in my proposal.
How long before I get e-mails letting me know I should register "yourname.con" before its taken for only $70 a year?

I wonder how much of the FBI's new an terrorist power was and will be used to pursue this.
I hate e-commerce.
Great now all my downloads of adul^H^H^H^H research content from the Netherlands will get to me faster.

You would think that for a pop rock radio station KPMG would have a better theme song.

I know the easiest way to bring a token ring network down is to put a card set for 4mb/sec on a 16mb/sec network or vice vera.
