Anyone know what Goodyear is running for their POS machines in the retail garages? I bought new tires this week, and noticed that they had an X screensaver running. Looked like 101-key keyboards as well.
Comcast@Home in INDY has claimed a 128kbp upstream cap since I signed up in Aug 2000. It's only been a reality for the last few months.
Downstream still screams, although not quite as fast as a year ago. I get 280-300kBps (yes, bytes) downloading from good servers, whereas a year ago 350kBps+ was not unusual.

Really, now, you know people won't really pay attention to the real meaning oy Christmas until they have a Mr. Hanky rubbed in their face to remind them.
Wouldnt it be cool if they found an easter-egg in the "instructions"?
There already is one in the Y chromosome. It waits until the perfect moment to mortally embarrass the teenage male, when it triggers an erection that just will not go away until it has been publically noticed.
Well now. Let's get it in gear and get the whole Windows-using world playing Solitaire at once.

But is it faster and more fun? I'm still waiting for that promised Windows 95 feature to be implemented in ANY version of Windows.

Perhaps he brought in 7 of each sex of each animal. Then he found the one of each sex of each animal that could do the most amusing trick, and took that one into the Ark.
I was wondering what that bright flash was. Just wish they had warned us to put on 9999 SPF sunblock. Still, at least I know who's to blame for being sunburned extra crispy: Blame Canada! Blame Canada!
Thank God it wasn't left in the laptop containing all known weaknesses in National security that disappeared yesterday. Or the laptop with the NORAD blueprints on it that was "misplaced" last weekend.

Notice that it does not say explosion resistant.

You may want to reconsider CCBill. Apparently, in March 2001, they were notified of an insecure CGI that exposed their merchants login information. They removed the CGI, but didn't tell their merchants, apparently hoping to sweep it under the rug.

Well, with Windows 95, you don't have to do anything. Just wait, and it'll go down by itself.

using 7 qubits to do basic math is impressive.

7 qubits!?!? Sheesh, Noah's Ark was 300 qubits long, by 50 wide, by 30 high. And seven is supposed to be impressive thousands of years later?
