Why not 36 keys, or 26*2+10 [a-z,A-Z,0-9]? Where's a nicely designed keypad so that this would be feasible. If one can be assigned alphanumeric identifiers of ones choosing I doubt that L^Husers would complain quite so loudly. This damn 10 digit handset is going to follow us to our grave if something isn't done about it. Boycott the phone!!
Well mostly because companies like Look, for example, aren't really offering wireless to home. They offer wireless download but rely on a modem for upload. Gag! I heard they were supposed to be offering 2-way wireless but as far as I know it's still vapourous. Then again I could be full of shite since I haven't looked into this for some time.
Wireless is bound to be FUCKING HUGE one day, it will be as ubiquitous as radio. Hopefully sooner. The problem with companies like Look is that they are entering a market that isn't quite ready for prime time. The hardware for wireless laptops and palm devices or cell phones is just around the corner for widespread usage.
High speed wireless is the answer to the goddamn phone companies and cable companies (even though I have no real beef with my cable provider)
They should provide a forwrding service for a year until everyone has reconciled their address books.
I've never trusted any of these 'free' services for anything more than pseudo-anonymous mail holes. The only long term solution is to register a domain and host it yerself.
The Olympics, or rather the organisation responsible for the Olympics and everyone associated with them, have become a singularly evil bunch. I've not watched an Olympic event, not intentionally anyway, since the 1988 Olympics. Continue the Boycott, no question. Boycott Coke. Boycott McDonalds. Boycott Mary Hart.
That was 2 years ago and not matter what I do I'll never break 100 seconds. I originally thought I'd never get past 180 seconds, then 120. If you can do the Intermediate in 59s you should have no problem getting the expert level. It's the guesses that'll kill ya.
Mercury Meteor not Ford Meteor, division of Ford.
So a Mercury Meteor crashed through the guys windscreen and melted his dashboard? I remember my dad frying an egg on the trunk of his neighbour's Meteor though. I always liked that car.
More FUD from sun. Sun is getting right up there with Micro$oft and Apple for the quality, and quantity, of their "dire industry warnings". Like talking heads from DC yakking about what's going to happen next in Floriday or economists trying to predict the next big upturn (or more likely, resession), any and all utterings from someone with the title COO should be ignored. Damn pigeons.
Saying that linux has fragmented without qualifying the statement (kernel, gui, desktop) is just such utter nonsense that I am at a loss for words.
In this industry management don't have their programmers by the short and curlys. These days there aren't enough programmers to go around anyway. If most of your cohorts feel similarly then a work stoppage/walkout should do the trick.
And if you negotiate well you may even be able to ensure that overtime is fairly charged in a flex time enviro.
In some countries only the most well off can afford to buy a computer. Does that mean that we shouldn't discuss computer issues since it is not truly international in scope? Of course not. Instead of whinging, join the discussion and maybe add whatever you know about the subject - nothing apparently.
Me, I am clueless as far as the issue goes but have been considering buying one of the damn things, which is why I was reading the topic.
Why, I wonder, is Quicktime loading the png in your sig. I am so fucking sick of the fuckwit companies stealing extensions just so that their stupid plug-in gets a bit of fucking airtime. And why the fuck can't I list plug-ins by extension rather than some assholes conception of how they should be described. Fuck Fuck fuck fuck fuck. F.u.c.k. And why do they insist on installing icons in the fucking windoze system tray? Burn in hell assholes.
Children are pure psychopaths. Adults normally learn not to be psychopathic, although you'd never know it if you ever rode your bike along the same route that I ride every day. Teenagers, on the other hand, have their judgement impaired because of hormones, coke, beer and drugs - I know because I was once a teenager. I'm down to beer and the occasional toke now so I tend not to do quite as many stupid things. Of course, I'm usually drunk whenever I do do something dumb.
Not to worry, they can still eat lawyers with their heads down. I'd put forward Ally McBeal with those spindley legs splayed out of the toilet when she forgets to put the seat down but I doubt there's enough meat there for a small mammel let alone a big honkin' dino!
And its because of people like you that the corps control the world, and not, as you like to pretend, the government. Capitolism is not a form of government -- in theory.
You either haven't eaten poutine, or you've never had a good poutine. Me, I've forsaken the eating of this manna for the sake of my waste line but if I could (read: if I were 20 years younger) I'd eat it every day, just like the little kiddies at the University.
Great, here it is, 6:58 EST and I'm craving a tin full of frites, cheese curds and gravy.
Ha ha ha. Ftp? Why the hell hasn't ftp been relegated to the dustbins of history? Anon ftp, okay, that I can see a use for. But user ftp is just sooooooo bloody dangerous. And if one more person suggests scp as a replacement for user level ftp I'm going to... well... I don't know exactly but it ain't gonna be pretty. I can just see trying to train 5000 employees how to use scp to move a file to another server. Might as well suggest smbclient as a replacement for Windoze explorer in a samba environment.
Why isn't there a good, secure, easy to use, general purpose replacement for ftp? So much has been dealt with in the last decade but there remains that damn ftp monster.
If you'd take the time to pull your head out of your ass and read what Nadar actually has to say here you might find that he is anything but a communist. In fact, your broadside is just what the fuckwits (cf. Dubya, ne Gore) in Washington want you to think whenever anyone presents a dissenting view other than that of the status quo (that's fancy talk for the stance of the two big parties.)
Take, for example, Governor George Dubya Bush: vetoed the right of the convicted to legal representation within a 20 day period. That's sounds more communist than anything that Ralph Nadar has ever proposed, if you ask me.

Boycott Coke!

That would explain the monthly dusting fit that mrsfiddlehead throws.
Thanks for that link, asshole.

I like the play on words in the opening flash, "Welcome to the Twenty Fast Century" ... now say it with your best "Knify-Spoony" accent.

The good thing about Libertarians is that they agree with everybody else. The problem with Libertarians is that they disagree with everybody else.

But that's because Canada controls the UN. The yanks would control the UN but they forgot to pay their bill.
No, but any money there was republican money involved in the production of those same ciggies.

The end is nigh.
