That's unrealistic though. The ISP needs to be really huge to offer that amount of bandwidth... just think... if they have five hundred subscribers with RF T1, they'd need 17 T3 lines just to keep up. That's a cost of more than 1 million dollars a year for htat many T3 lines. To be really competitive you'd need to charge less than $100/mo... with 500 people you'd be in huge debt at the end of the year.
First, let me say that KDE is my favorite thing currently out there. I like the widgets more than any other... er... I don't want to say window manager.
Without looking at the programming aspects, I find Windows NT/9x the nicest interface. This doesn't really deal much with the question at hand... but I wanted to state that. The Windows widgets are small, yet work well (when the OS chooses to run anyway:).
I find too many borders and oversized task bars in Linux. I have a large monitor and run at 1280x1024 resolution... yet I still find the task bar and border space consuming.
I am sitting here on my workstation, and comparing the UI to my Windows laptop.. maybe it's the font support, maybe it's the icon size.. I can't put my finger on it.
And as far as the programming goes... I've really only used Perl/TK and hacked up various KDE apps. I have nothing to say about the code... I'd rather have my code fit in with the "window manager". That way one only needs to hack just one config file to make my apps look pleasing to them.
Did Linus get anything? I'm sure he got the letter...

Yea, over the years I've upgraded and replaced.. but I've yet to throw anything away that was totally broken.
I've only thrown away one monitor (after it was dropped and smashed) and one computer (386... by the time it broke the 30 pin SIMMs were only good for keyrings, the motherboard was fried, the case was non-standard...). But all parts were sold to a recycling centre (only a couple of dollars each however).
Give me GOOD true type support, less bulky widgets on most programs, and game support and I'd be very happy.
I made the switch to 100% linux six months ago, and I'm not really looking back. (seven months ago my primary machine was windows and I did a hell of a lot via Exceed to my secondary machine which was Linux based)
I'm starting to see game support... q3 seems to be the best linux game I've seen. But not enough for my liking.
The 16mm Mike had at the end doesn't record sound. Mike had a DAT recorder around his neck most of the time.
The video camera was recording sound...
But then again, it is only a movie and they had other sound people doing the sound. The cast and crew included more than just three people. Just look at the credits at the end!
All I can say is if there are any dark woods with a utility road within a few miles from your theatre, GO THERE.
It's the most awesome experience to go see the movie and right after it drive into the woods and turn off the engine and the lights in the car.
I did that to my friends when we saw it (we went to the 12:35am showing on Saturday). One of my friends was really freaking out by the dark woods with the wind causing the trees to sway and light to bounce off the various metal objects dumped in the woods.
Compared to many other reps, Microsoft doesn't sink that much money into the guy.
I think he's a typical rep, he doesn't alarm me any more than any other.
This is also sorta bad for AOL. Since AOL is going to roll out DSL (so we hear), that means that if I want DSL from AOL, I don't have to subscribe to their service. I can use a different ISP.
It needs to be capable of multiple users. I also need to be able to restrict access to certain protocols and commands.
Until then, my users won't see it on the system.
I played with it on my workstation though... it's neat. But I can do the same in Perl... over the years I've simplified many of the module calls like rebol.
Hell, I'm sure we can write a rebol code parser in perl.
Vlinto is being used for a variety of uses from a geocities like site to corporate file sharing. It's commercial though. (waits for the reader to finish rolling his/her eyes)
If you are wanting an Apache extension/module... I think WebDAV is better, although I haven't used it (yet).
Well.. I suppose it's worth a try, I don't use mine that much...
I'd like to see an infrared scanner for the palm pilot.. one that plugs in and will actually show the infrared picture on teh screen. That's be pretty cool... make it part of the Star Trek tricorder program.
I guess I am the sad type of person to notice all of it but...
Did anyone else notice the computers were mainly mac based... but that they had DOS boot screens, and when they shut down they went to the infamous C:\> prompt?
And all the computer software boxes in the background.. they could have gone to developers and gotten real boxes, not really old versions of dBase and stuff.
All movies do this... can't they get a consultant to get it right for them? One movie I saw not too long ago must have had a consultant because all the screens were Linux... damn, I wish I could remember the title... too many movies on Sundance Channel.
My question is how much power does a server need now? Let's say a web server... many of those Sun servers that are in IT room closets are far slower than anything I'd realistically use today, but they did pretty damn well.
What do you think? Celeron 300a overclocked to 450 running Linux as a web server?
That's all I want.. prices... and based on that I then want to know if they're naming it with a name to make fun of the Xeon (an over priced chip, but a good chip I think)... then, does this mean the performance will be similar too?
If this chip came out for $200 for a 500mhz version (or higher... lower power, means cooler, means faster in my head).. I'd get one even if it was a proprietary slot!

The audio was from the DAT.
The 16mm Mike had at the end doesn't record sound. Mike had a DAT recorder around his neck most of the time.
The video camera was recording sound...
But then again, it is only a movie and they had other sound people doing the sound. The cast and crew included more than just three people. Just look at the credits at the end!
Also, take a look at the IMDB: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0185937
Er, it's a MOVIE. Not real.
Fake. Bogus. Phoney. False. And NOT based on a true story.
All I can say is if there are any dark woods with a utility road within a few miles from your theatre, GO THERE.
It's the most awesome experience to go see the movie and right after it drive into the woods and turn off the engine and the lights in the car.

The movie WAS actually filmed on just 16mm and NTSC video camera.
Remember, film students have access to fairly good VHS and Betamax cameras.
That's why this movie will make a huge profit since it cost pennies to make.
What good is a gateway machine that you have to reboot every six hours, eh?
I know of commercial solutions for Solaris (FW1E for example) that are EXCELLENT.
Novell has one too that allows quake and stuff too. I haven't played with that one much.

This is also sorta bad for AOL. Since AOL is going to roll out DSL (so we hear), that means that if I want DSL from AOL, I don't have to subscribe to their service. I can use a different ISP.
Basically, it's not ready for use yet.
It needs to be capable of multiple users. I also need to be able to restrict access to certain protocols and commands.
Until then, my users won't see it on the system.

I vote that we point DNS for internic.net to localhost. This is rediculous. They're using internic for their own personal profit.
I didn't really mind that one company controlled com/net/org, but this is just rediculous!

I wanna hear prices...
That's all I want.. prices... and based on that I then want to know if they're naming it with a name to make fun of the Xeon (an over priced chip, but a good chip I think)... then, does this mean the performance will be similar too?
If this chip came out for $200 for a 500mhz version (or higher... lower power, means cooler, means faster in my head).. I'd get one even if it was a proprietary slot!
What measures are they taking to stop the body from rejecting the chip? It isn't natural... but that's not to say it's wrong.
I've been looking for that URL for weeks... I stumbled upon the site, but didn't bookmark it.. thankie!
