I am relieved to find that I am not the only person who thinks the voice quality sucks. I couldn't belive how this expensive 2.4GHz phone was bested by an old Panasonic that wasn't even 900MHz!
There is a Wal-Mart in the mall closest to me, and it is rather large. However, it took over the retail space vacated by Woolworth if I'm not mistaken.
If you would like to see the biggest big-box that you have seen in a while, take a trip up the I-5. I can't remember where it is but there's a goddamn huge Wal-Mart on the right side of the highway coming down from Vancouver.
Wal-Mart sucks ass. I bought an egg beater there and it broke within a week. It was a gift too, so I felt so embarassed that I bought a tweleve dollar egg beater as a replacement.
I totally agree. What's the point of reviewing a movie you know will be a complete waste of your time?
I really wanted to just walk out of it. I stayed because my friends were with me, and they were the ones who wanted to see it.

I live in the same province as the Ask Slashdot question comes from. Telus almost never goes down, almost never is pig slow, and almost never jerks you around.
The only real problem is it's so popular the damn unionized workers can't get their fat asses in gear to install more lines.
Some comment has been made about vendor initiatives for thin client solutions, but nothing mentioning Sun. The Sun Ray series is an excellent solution for mid to large installations. Mind you, this doesn't address the question posed but is still a "because it's cool" solution nonetheless.
Sun Rays have all sorts of neat features, like Hot Desking. This means, you pull your smartcard out of machine A and plug it into machine B. Up comes your StarOffice document like you never got up off your seat! In fact, you never even "log out". It keeps your session open.
Of course, the only problem with the whole bunch of kit is that it is only economical for upwards of 25 users.
True, but the linked story states quite clearly that they tested a pre-release motherboard from Tyan running the AMD 760MP chipset, running two 1.2GHz Athlon CPUs.
Please check your facts before shooting your mouth off.

I can offer the status of the situation in Western Canada, specifically British Columbia. The monopoly telephone company, Telus, offers six consumer level packages. These are the cheapest of each speed grade:
$39.95 - 1.5Mbit/512Kbit
- Two DHCP IPs
$79.95 - 2.5Mbit/640Kbit
- Five DHCP IPs
$164.95- 4.0Mbit/640Kbit
- Five static IPs
- Domain registration
Telus uses 3Com HomeConnect ADSL Modem Ethernet.
There are also other very competitive ADSL providers. I don't know why, but BC has the some of the best 'net connectivity anywhere.
After reading a comment mentioning an IIS server error, that got me thinking. Where did I see that before... YES! Windows NT 4 comes with Internet Explorer 2. When I tried to download a later one, www.microsoft.com gave me the same error, to the letter! (Their own products don't work with each other, sheesh)
Also, I tried viewing another webpage and instead of it I got their web hosting provider. I think it has something to do with the HTTP protocol and get request format. If there's an option in NS6 to turn off HTTP/1.1 requests, you could try that.

I was there too and can attest to the inferno in the conference center. My CPU was running at 70C for four days!
I can't believe that I snagged 20GB of porno there. I would have got more but I ran out of space.
Er, have you bothered to look over the rest of that site? Don't you find it just a little bit odd that all the stories are about sex?
What I find the most disturbing is that all those stories could be true!

I was originally planning to play flamebait, but now I've got a different version of my original comment.
What about *nix DHCP solutions that interface with the Windows 2000 DNS server? MS' own can dynamically update IPs for DHCP clients.
