I've got something like this. Every since I was a young teenager, it seems like my body wants to be up for ~22h and down 10-12h.
Having to work on a 24h schedule is sort of hell. I usually feel like shit the first 6 hours of the day or so. When it's time to sleep is right around when I'm firing on all cylinders. Once I finally fall asleep, I can never wake up.
Compared to NT4, Windows 2000 was "bloated" and slow - the former needing a 33Mhz 486 with 16Mb RAM and the latter a 133Mhz+ Pentium (~8x more) with 64MB RAM (4x more).
Somewhat true, but it also brought things that were kind of necessary in the 21st century, like, say... USB support, for example.
Then XP came along, and didn't really add anything of substance to 2k, mostly just fluff.
I had 2.6.30? on a geode gx1 recently, which is mostly i486 as far as I can recall. I think it has some pentiumisms but doesn't duplicate the full instruction set or so.
(it did run a -i486 kernel). I don't seem to recall any problems other than it being slow, but, slow is rather expected for ancient tech.
Just because "kitchen sink" is the default install on most distros, doesn't mean you have to install everything.
This is one reason I hate Windows 7: even more fluff than XP and runs everything slower. I want Windows 95 simple but with a better kernel and security, and no "extra" features.
It means fringe parties would get less seats than in a full proportional system. They would still have more power than the current (US & most of UK) plurality system.
Playing baseball - boring. Watching baseball - very boring. Playing a video game of baseball - even more boring. Watching someone play a video game of baseball - kill me now.
in Edmonton I have Telus and Shaw both colluding to give me ridiculous rates.
FTFY.
$55 for "up to" 15/1 is a far cry from "reasonable" IMO. Especially when that 1Mbps UL turns out to be less than 512kbps on a good day, in the same city, no less. [60gb cap also].
I kind of vomit when I see that I could get 100/10 for the same money in some parts of europe.
Whereas previously it was in the realm of 600MHz the P3s topped out at, they started shipping 933MHZ P3s in rather short order. Clearly Intel was producing chips that could work faster, they simply didn't bin them higher because there was no need. Game them a way to bring out speed improvement for not cost later. However with AMD's competition, they had to do it sooner.
Yeah, they also had to pay off retailers to keep them loyal.
Things could have been considerably different today, with athlon beating PIII's (in performance and price), as well as netburst being a major fail on release (and arguably during it's entire lifetime). Crooks.
$8 "connection fee" for 100amp err... 10Mbit service
$0.07 per GB.
But then people that just check email would only net them $8.07... can't have that, can we? $1+ per GB is insane. In civilized countries you can get 3G internet for that sort of money.
I guess browsers should start rendering non CP-437 characters in a different color (in the address bar), to make it apparent if someone is cheating. Shouldn't be hard to implement.

You forgot to exclude the 100,000 fart apps too.
You notice they tend to use lead to shield ionizing radiation, and not thin aluminum sheet?
I wonder why that is.
I thought it fizzled out years ago. I had no idea it still exists.

Redundancy costs money. If it costs more than downtime, you don't get it.
I've got the one in the article, or very similar, and it has no problems on debian. It 'just works'.
>The USB model cannot currently be shipped outside the USA.
Damn. I wonder what that's about. A model M with nipplemouse would be ultimate.

NT4? :-P
The regulation would be to keep things the same. To prevent things from getting worse. Not to change the internet.
Apart from a few shows I download on occasion, I'd be completely oblivious to the fact that TV is down. Bring it on.
Now if it were to interrupt the internet, that would be a different story.
They're more reliable because they have big dishes, so weather isn't as much of an issue. (and is not an issue at all for local channels).
Of course if the satellite falls out of the sky it isn't going to work.
Because S60 sells. Nokia has something like 40% of the global phone market. That's huge. Apple can't even dream of having a tenth of that.
Fast processors and lots of RAM in a phone (eg, N900) are always going to be niche. Most people, world wide, just don't have that sort of money.
Symbian just got open sourced too.
Which die-hard apple fanboy modded this troll? He raises some valid points.

Proportional representation would be nice.
FPTP breeds a two party system generally. Kind of evil and broken.
The most boring possible video game genre.

Price it like a utility then.

Flash is evil, but at this point support for it is a necessary evil. That makes sense, doesn't it?
Well, since .com is for commercial (afaik), the slavicized version of this word is komercijal, which would be .kom in either latin or cyrillic.

2 car keys, 1 house key.
why do you need 3 keys for your girlfriend's place? You have 3 girlfriends?
