There was an article in the Toronto Stars @biz section of Monday November 20th paper on the high cost of service from Rogers and Bell Sympatico, and their more than crappy service. Now having DSL myself and having to deal with Sympatico's dial up manager is better than using a dial up modem, except for the fact that I am dialing customer sevice more often than I am logging on to find out why their service sucks... Oh well perhaps others have had better luck. Is anyone else out there on Sympatico getting a inordinately high number of bios port probes by sympatico users? It is almost like sympatico is playing with distributed networking through the access manager or something. Anyone with info on this one would be a light at the end of the pipeline.
If they don't pay you they don't own it. You go to University, pay for lectures, labs, supplies, textbooks, research and a host of other things then you don't own what you produce... if the school wants to keep the work you produce they should either pay for it or reflect your ability in your tuition fees.
It just makes more sence to me if they would combine things we actually need or want together, like (out of date) mp3 player with a cd, cell phone with digital camera, PDA with phone dialer, leather seats without the heated mirrors, K-Y and wet naps... The list goes on... see what you can come up with.

doesn't it make sence that US citizens don't know about their domain suffix.us? They would like to believe that.com.org, and.net are the US suffixes... and that.uk,.ca etc are just baby brothers to 'their' internet, feeding off what some American created...
would it not be easier to just add a fifth number to the IP address? Or perhaps a qualifier to the begining of the IP address string... ie ca.145.47.96.221, or 123.221.64.3.uk ?

Jeh riiiiight, as soon as it is gone something else will pop up as it always does... like using IRC or ICQ to trade files. Funny though, My Jazz is always the first out the door... must say something about the age range of the people grabbing free music. I would buy CD's if the price was a bit more reasonable, but knowing what it costs to manufacture a cd... $1.25 CDN or so... I can't see clear paying $18.00 CDN for distribution. Oh well there will always be live FTP lists I guess.
I'm running a SGI flat pannel, but Im not sure if you can use it on any platform other than the 320/540 nt boxes by SGI. If you ca, go for it, I will never go back to a tube again. You can also take a look at http://www.tomshardware.com for reviews of everything tech.

Whats that about Natalie Portman getting down with a troll in the cruiser?
One would think that Apple would have first shot at the one click patent.
Why is so much effort put into getting off this rock rather than making it a better place... Utopia is not in the stars, it is where we make it.
They are not interested in the home pc market as is Bill. jus my $.02
