just to correct you a bit, but ISDN was deployed in the US in 1984, not 5 years ago (1997). maybe in japan, but here in the US ISDN has been around for a LONG time, at at under $150/mo.
to awnser your question that has already been awnsered multiple times, it has to do with population density. nice troll.
hey wow i got modded as a troll! i thought i'd get modded as informative for that... yeah, i'm serious, i know nothing of the publishing industry. photoshop is merely a toy for me. judging from the somewhat vauge explination of quark, it seems to have a vast reach in the publishing industry. nifty.
i agree. my dad was the project manager for king county's municipal fiber optic system. he went into great detail about planning for the future. did you know that putting fiber through downtown seattle is an absolute bitch? you have to figure out where you can run fiber, and how to get it across major highways in downtown. this involves permits, buyouts of pipelines, co-leases and whatnot. you expect 400% increase in bandwidth annually for twenty years, and as a result, put ALOT of fiber in the ground. when the demand increases, you light up a new strand of fiber. it only costs about 10% more overall to pull 40 (or 200, or however many you need) strands of fiber instead of the 2 you actually need at the time, once you factor in the cost of engineering how the hell you're going to put it there in the first place.
is that what the troll demographic is? man, i'd hate to be in his position. classic theroy has always been that those kinds of posts come from 13 year olds. hunh.
i missed somthing - what exactly is quark, and what does it do? it couldn't be terribly important for the average home user, as that title rarely comes up in my online reading, but it must be at least marginally important, as they seem to have apple's balls in a vice.
maybe it's how i have my slashdot prefs setup, but both you and i are posting at 3. i think you might get an extra +1 tacked on to your next post after recieving a mod point, which is how i post at 3.... not really sure, but that's how it comes up on my screen.
i was researching distilling my own whiskey. it doesn't look too hard. it won't taste great, but supposedly a crockpot w/holein lid, copper pipe, and recepticle makes a cheap still, especially if you get it at goodwill. distilling your own liquor is illegal in the US, as we tax the hell out of it, or at least used to. i'm under 21 and don't check the local prices of liquor that often.
why is it that stills in the old days used to blow up? you see this happen in an episode of the simpsons, but they don't explain why. otherwise i'd have set up my own distillery in my dorm by now...
no, the camry is a nice, affordale, dependale car that everyone else already has. the jaguar is the expensive car that has a tendancy to break down but when it does run, the user enjoys using it tenfold over the camry. people driving camrys are envious of the people who can afford the jaguar, so they come up with reasons to not want the jag so they feel better about themselves. the comment, itself, is a load of bullshit, but people have been modding up my tounge-in-cheek comments the last couple of days. it's bizzare.
there's a suprising number of girls in college who use photoshop to crop/resize their digital photos, because they ask their friends "what should i download to fix my pictures?" and about 3 minutes later they have one of the 5 cd's floating about the dorm floor with photoshop 6 or 7 on it, and in another 20 min, have it installed. but you're right, the same thing happens, except with men, and at the office. people aren't willing to pay $600 for any photo program, because at most the average user will never spend more than 4 hours using a photo editing program, limiting any program of the genre's value significantly. i wonder, would adobe be doing better or worse if they marketed the gimp for windows as a free alternative to photoshop, so it wouldn't "eat into their potential marketshare", although that sounds highly counter-productive.
i'd just like to apologize to anyone reading the parent post; i was just talking out of my ass, although i'm fairly sure it's true, there is in fact no basis for truth. i pity whoever gave me mod points for that. suckaz.
yeah in theroy you could underclock a 2.4 ghz to maybe 1.4 ghz or so, at which point you could probably passively cool it. intel still makes p3's though, for applications such as this, and as a result the 1ghz p3's of today run alot cooer than they did a year ago.
i think it's pretty obvious why apple has decided to nix it's mac worlds, now that apple has OS X out the door, it doesn't need mac worlds to sell it, planned obselecence should do that nicely. starting around 2000, people started catching on and letting other people in on the big secret: don't buy hardware in the month(s) before macworld, you're gonna get screwed. mucho true. apple's hardware sales slow to a trickle, and then gush once new hardware is released, making it so that there's a ton of spare inventory laying around they have to sell almost at used prices. this is bad buisness. so they're getting rid of announcing new hardware at mac worlds, and more or less randomly announcing things as they come to frutition. i suspsect this makes hardware design deadlines more flexible, allowing for smarter and better designs also. the new iMac was the last big macworld announcment, the eMac was the first big non Macworld announcment.
if you live in suburbia, or downtown wherever, you're good to go. the problem is that somthing like 20% of the population lives outside of suburbia, but somthing like 5% of those people "in the country" are still close enough to the repeater that it's not a problem. dsl and cable internet, everyone in the DFW area (texas) (who has kids) i know has it, sans the older people in their 60's
where does one go to sign up for somthing like this? seriously. i just hit the 100 gig mark about 2 months back... of course, i probably already have most of what they're sharing (non porn, at least)....
probably the same thing as leaving your contacts in for long periods of time. increased risk of infection, more noticable irritation, and eventually your body adapts to having it around and the side effects become less noticable.
yeah, in theroy, it's good practice to wear one size too small boxer briefs wend thurs and friday night if you plan to get lucky. might cause the opposite of a penis enlarger, though.
freedos is free. it's about 3mb, with all the options installed, and runs on current hardware, and supports neat things like USB and (i think TCP/IP). then you don't need to port anything, and it runs on current hardware (or, at least my 5 year old amd k6-2 300, so probably anything that supports x86)
if all you're doing is running a console app in dos, and your infrastructure is built around this, it seems far simpler to just go the way of freedos

i have yet to enter the industry, i'm 19. what's a PHB?
i do agree, that there is entirely too much middle management.

once you hit X amount of karma, you post @ 2. one you hit 26 o 27 karma, you post @ 3, like me.

yes. i'm too lazy to google it for you though. sorry
or run winxp, or your x86 OS of choice, and then VNC into it from OS X.
so a stable equilbrium is like a ball at the bottom of a bowl (3d), or between two hills (2d)?
do they emit beta radiation when in the plastic bag? or only when lit? what's in them that they emit radiation?
this sounds like the same (very true) argument of someone who can't afford a jaguar and instead opts for a toyota camry. nice troll.
