I'd personally tend to disagree. I think it's very much like comparing gnome to XFCE. Then again, Antico doesn't even use KDElibs so they'd have to try really hard to make it even close to as heavy as KDE.
People who tether transfer more data per month than people who do not.
Yeah, it's too bad that even if the average user will use more data that they've already bought that same data. If I buy X amount of data, why can't I use X amount of data in whatever way I want without paying extra? I'm fine with the company sabotaging themselves with shitty plans, it's the excuses that aggravate me.
I really think at this point in KDE4 that they need to work on bugfixes, sure new features are exiting, but what's the point if they don't work?
There's a reason why I don't use KDE as my main desktop, it just sits next to my gnome/xfce/e17/whatever desktop, and every once in a while I boot in to KDE to play with it.
When I tested KDE 4.4, it wasn't the most stable desktop I'd used, let's just hope they've been working on that... I honestly have to wonder why they keep adding features, they have plenty as it is, and from my experience KDE hasn't been the most stable desktop as of late, I really think it should be a high priority to make/keep the desktop as stable as possible, with new features as an afterthought.
I can't believe this is on/.
This is completely wrong!
BIOS Will not die, the UEFI Website itself says it.
"Q: Does UEFI completely replace a PC BIOS?
A: No. While UEFI uses a different interface for "boot services" and "runtime services", some platform firmware must perform the functions BIOS uses for system configuration (a.k.a. "Power On Self Test" or "POST") and Setup. UEFI does not specify how POST & Setup are implemented." -- From their website, if you don't believe me, http://www.uefi.org/about/

I'd second this program, it's very good-- not FOSS, but it's also Linux-compatible. It's a very good program, I used it while taking networking in school (cisco's curriculum)
Interesting, I'd love to see this tested in a more controlled manner (but I doubt it'd ever happen.) I'd still tend to argue that a large chunk of the speed issues would have to do with environmental conditions-- If an event's going on, there's got to be a decent increase in the amount of interference-- But again, these are just some hypotheses of mine I could be right, I could be wrong, I could be a little of both.
Ah well, the world may never know.
Yeah, I know what you mean. 250 GB is a lot (assuming they don't stream multiple movies a night on Netflix-- Or even pirate movies) and I can understand that cap, but something as low as 2 GB is just terrible, even for a mobile device. Given the fact that it is a mobile service, I could even understand something like 5-10 GB, but 2 GB's is unimaginable to be limited to in my mind. I'd also love to know what they charge when you go over the limit, it's probably some preposterous amount that they only intend to use for profiteering. At this point in time I'm glad I don't use AT&T, and as it stands I never will.
It wont improve your speed (Or at least within a noticeable amount)-- Your speed is limited by your device, which is 3G (if not worse.) The fact of the matter is that even if the network does become less congested, your max speed is your max speed-- even if it your speed does increase marginally, you aren't going to suddenly jump up to 30 Mbits/s just because casual youtubing has stopped, and well you're probably much more limited by the fact that it is in fact WIRELESS internet, you're unlikely to hit max speed, no matter how little network congestion there is. Of course it's possible, just not likely.
Just think of how much Video streaming you can do with an ENTIRE 2 GB a month! And hey, the iPad/phone/touch don't support flash, so you don't need to worry about ad's eating up your bandwidth! All for just $25 (2 GB plan) a month, or an extra $20 if you want to have tethering. (great deal, amirite?)
I can only feel bad for the people of habbo hotel, losing their fake furniture that they paid a totally reasonable price for. I wish the for the police working on this case to catch those evil criminals, and of course for their safety. It's a dangerous job catching internet tough guys, and I can only hope that these police return to their families in one piece.
Okay so let me get this straight, rather than regulating the maximum amount of salt you can put into food, this guy wants a straight up ban of it? I think I smell a genius.
Well, there's few if any linux viruses out there. Windows 7 (while slightly less so than Vista) is a major ram whore, introduces new features that the average user wont miss, oh and the fact that 90% of Windows 7's ui is completely different than XP's-- With all that given, maybe a new platform wouldn't be out of the question...
(As a side note, I've used windows 7, and enjoyed it-- but for people who are used to, and want something lightweight and simple like windows XP (And maybe more secure without the need for bloaty antivirus programs) Something like LinuxMint would be great.)
Hey guys, I have an idea... let's make child pornography illegal- that will stop people from making it, and watching it (I mean, hell the prohibition was successful, right?) then, let's continually lower the rights of the people to ensure it's properly enforced-- for the peoples protection of course. Besides, looking at child porn is very harmful to that child, the actual event is virtually nothing in comparison.
Yeah, and ubuntu 9.10 doesn't have any(ubuntu specific) audio issues with the ioquake3 engine... Y'know like it just suddenly breaking out, and stopping on multiple hardware setups, making the user check the forums, and tweak their system so it works they way it should... Yeah Gentoo saves time, Debian Stable is rushed software, Fedora is easy enough for grandma, and opensuse is perfect for home users who are afraid of "do it yourself" work, and simply mepis, will confuse even the most nerdy linux-guru with its bleeding edge Debian stable package base, across a completely out-dated kernel.

$20/mo to enable tethering?

When I read his post I was about to search for that link, then I saw yours-- hasn't development stopped for Antico though?

So does this mean I can't use GTA as an excuse as to why I robbed my neighbor anymore?

I'd really hope not.
