DSL competition always? I recall that a group of ISPs, possibly as many as 12 , had to light a fire under the CRTC over Bell's control of DSL.This would have been back in '98, IIRC.
I hear you - I'm notorious for have multiple windows with dozens of tabs each and until I found Tree Style Tabs, I was losing my mind trying to keep track. It sometimes causes script errors that'll freeze a window for a long time but, when it's working, it works really, really well.
Port multipliers don't cover all bases - I have an eSATA dual-bay dock connected to an PCI-E port multiplier. Works fine when in Windows but I can only boot from the drive in slot HDD1. I'm not sure if the problem is the PC BIOS, the add-in card BIOS or the dock itself but I haven't found a solution besides swapping drives each time.
Not quite - they BECAME part of Oracle; that's not the same thing although corporations like to sell the idea that just because they acquired a product, they somehow reached traveled back in time and invented it, too.
You could play Tetris in the installer while installing Caldera - one way to pass the time on a long install. Too bad I always did suck at Tetris; at least it meant the install would get done at some point.
And, I've always hated DOS but DrDOS / OpenDOS was almost bearable.
For the last 1.5 years, the Republicans seem to have been pretty good at reaching consensus - if Obama wants it, it's bad for America and must be stopped. Now, as for your remark about Slashdot, I think we can all agree that you should put down the crack pipe.
I've long been disappointed with Konq not moving more quickly to Webkit but I think this is a tipping point for them. Especially now since KDE 4 has matured.
Fox News upped the ante in a big way by allowing people like Beck and Hannity on the air. And I'll start cutting the Right some slack when they tell Limbaugh to STFU.
If you check the entries on the page that you're linking to, you'll find this - https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33044 On that page, there are already some patches that have been submitted, although not yet reviewed and developer resources have been allocated to having a deeper look at the issue of getting Java applet support working.
Getting Webkit in is a big first step; the rest will come, in time, and quickly, I'm sure. I would expect to see a fully functional Konq+Webkit by this year's end.
I think you're missing the point - that's exactly the kind of sensationalizing the far right has been so good at doing in recent years. Has everyone already forgotten the fuss about Obama's schooling in Indonesia?
find a police jurisdiction with a bad record for beating up people or one where a large demonstration is about to happen. Could make a nice chunk of change.
I guess not but neither is copyright infringement. Perhaps an advocacy group for missing persons can start ridiculously inflating the numbers to get the FBIs attention. On the other hand, Disney can pay to put a homeless Mickey Mouse being consoled by Sonny Bono on milk cartons bemoaning how devastating copyright infringement is
Is that standard procedure for the cops where you live? My local finest would probably haul the young punk in for a good browbeating - hiring an ex(pensive)pert would be way down on the list. And our courts are happy to waste time - they just don't like other people, who aren't judges or politicians, doing it.
Oh, please, you need to take a course in fantasy - I want thought-controlled,nanite fusion reactors that are powered by background radiation and can transform dirt into unobtainium while simultaneously doing point-to-point teleportation through transdimensional wormholes to planets inhabited by nude Brazilian supermodels.
Trouble with the all-electrics is that, based on where you live, they may RAISE the amount of carbon released due to the fuel sources used to create electricity. See this Scientific American article - they show a map of the entire US with the percentage mix of fuel sources by region with projections as to how much more or less carbon will be emitted by plug-in hybrids.
I've held the belief that, at least for the next decade, something like the Volt will be the vehicle of choice for North American buyers - but the price will have to come down quite a bit. And, the shift to low-carbon fuel sources must accelerate by at least fivefold, everywhere.
So, the EEstor is a non-starter? Too bad, indeed, that could have been a game changer. It's good to see that there are folks out there who are doing everything they can to make electrics as convenient as petroleum vehicles, e.g. building charge stations, like Better Place or battery swaps in Tokyo. I've heard a lot of naysaying about the space and hassle of swapping batteries but would it be anymore space-consuming and impractical than a busy car wash?
Slashdot Mirror
I know what you mean - I've worked for a healthcare organisation in Ont; I've heard the jokes.
True. Every time I mention the CRTC to a non-tech friend, they start talking about their mortgage.
He's not riding her - the husband is pimping her out to all and sundry and he's figured out how to cut in on the pimp's action.

No failing grades? Have we already forgotten "No child left behind" and how that worked out?

If he hitches a ride on the Millennium Falcon, he could be hiding out in the Kessel system in about 12 parsecs.

Care to back that up? He's good at pandering to the ignorant; if that's your idea of having a clue, you're welcome to it.

And, of course, are free ( both the nanites and the supermodels )
