i used to have a static ip when i was with @home. They sent a letter to me a few months ago asking if i wanted to keep my static ip or switch to DHCP. I wanted to keep static because i was too lazy to change my linux router. They allowed this, but when they switched over to AT&T they switched me to DHCP. I did not want this, and now AT&T forces me to have a dynamic ip
I dont see how well this could really work. Outside of using it for the once a year trips to somewhere, little jimmy would have no use for this. I doubt that it would even work that well on a road trip, how do you balance a cube that has a 5.3 inch screen sitting on top of it? It might work fine on a desk, but i dont see how you could play it in a car where there would be no sturdy surface to rest it on.
they can't make it so you cant record the sounds from a speaker. I'm sure there is someone out there with a very good audio system that will record the CD and upload it and you wont even be able to tell the differnce.
yuck, the reason why they don't work are because they're slow and don't benifit any. Even most 'regular' people don't want to surf the net by clicking through an interface that looks like a town. Even if it does look nice, the fun wears off after running around in your own little virtual town when you notice that it takes twice as long to find information.
I think this could actually help turn the economy. The home pc market has become too bloated, and the way most people pick their new pc is just by the brand name they're familiar with. I hope this goes through, the market is way too crammed with too many pc makers
This doesn't seem like the right time for them to go out of business. They are getting more and more customers every week so how could they be going out of business now? I would have expected them to go out of business after laying a bazillion miles of cable. It's not like there's very many competitors too.
seems like microsoft would want to disable quicktime, after all they have the windows media player format. Just as microsoft pushed their browser by foricing users to use this that don't know alot about computers, they're doing the same thing with movies. Now my grandma isn't going to want to download some movie that she has to find where she saved it and open it up. She would rather have the movie play right in the browser. And this is true for most people. I think this is a way for microsoft to gain a stronghold in the media player sector.
just take screenshots of your screen. The texts can't be that long, because most people aren't going to read a novel in less than 10 hours unless they don't have anything better to do:P
Now all the technology that was cool is biting the dust. Sure it would be cool to be able to connect anywhere, but the high cost could not justify it. There aren't that many uses for this technology. I believe that this technology will come back at a later date where there will be more applications for it at a cheaper cost. And to answer the question, to fill this gap we have 802.11. Sort of the "open-source" wireless where it's made by the people. Also if you think 802.11 doesn't have enough service just use your cell phone. You can always plug a cell phone into your laptop and be able to use it to surf the web. With phone prices getting cheaper and coverage areas expanding, i think this is a very good option to consider.
In the first article, it is obvious that this was faked, because the company admitted it and released a press statement. It comes straight from the company. On the other hand, the thing with the missle defense article is written by someone at salon who said that someone at MIT got some papers from someone and on and on. If this is true that it actually is faked, i want to see a press release by MIT saying that there was GPS in the system and they're dismissing the guy that was working on it. Slashdot always seems so quit to criticize the republican government. An article written about the past government that was a "He said that he said that he said" article would not have been published on slashdot.
I think the reason why so many people pirate tv is because there are no choices. You have to buy this package or another package, you can't get the 4 tv stations you want. I've been switching back and forth from cable to dish because of better prices for each. I myself don't pirate, but to many people it is probably very tempting. Like in order to get the 4 stations i wanted (TechTV, TLC, Discovery, and MTV2) i had to buy the package of 50 stations from dish. I probably never watched any of those for more than 30 minutes. The reason i got the dish was because at the time i bought it, they said after one year you could pick 10 stations and only pay for those. Well after a year of using the service, i called up and it's no longer avalible. If people could pick the stations they want, i think the number of pirates would go way down.
Finally i can fake sick to stay home from school and i can fake my parents voice. Kids across the world rejoice, you can now stay home from school and don't have to fake your parents voice!
This brings up an important problem, how will they be able to read our information in the future? I mean, electricity will be nothing like we know it now 1000 years from now. How can we store information so that future generations will be able to read the data?
There's been rumors for the past few years that Apple was in on Palm with some sort of new OS incorporating the Newton OS that the Apple Messagepads used to use. The messagepads ran on an ARM processor. I wonder if this is a step towards something bigger
how much shock can this take? They said it's single platter, and with the data being squished together so closely i wonder how they make it so it's safe from shocks, such as carrying in the bottom of a backpack
The real reason has been found why they forced the U.S. plane to land on their soil... they had a PS/2. I would think that the technology from the plane is alot better than the PS/2. Not to mention spying that has been going on for years.

are you going to start killing adults now too?

What software should i use for this? They don't offer anywhere to download any, can i use the distributed.net client?

Joe Sixpack doesn't care, because he's most likely not making copies of his cds. He can still listen to what he wants, just not make copies of it.
Why does it need a P3 @ 850mhz? I would think that at most a 50mhz machine would do fine. Sounds like a waste of money to me
