It doesn't. Not correctly, anyway. Not even with the "compatibility update." You know, actually, this might be a good thing - Bungie has always been (very) long on art and short on execution.

Heh heh heh, I spoke too soon. But honestly, Microsoft isn't *really* gonna split.
Are you EMP protected? If I'm a Government who wants to take you out, my first thought is EMPing your haven. I realize that you can't go into details, but how would you avoid this?

The subject of this news item makes it look as though there is something actually happening with IE and BSD. (In fact there isn't and probably will never be.) A better subject line would be "IE for BSD???"
Think about it - while roaming on your cellphone may be expensive, it's downright impossible on your landline. If you want to make the argument for "one phone," you need only consider what it costs you to make and recieve cellphone calls *at home*. I have had only a cell phone for about 5 years now. Initially it was because of the work I was doing, but now it's because I am rarely home, and when I am, I generally don't want to talk on the phone!
No landline phone, PROS:
You're not in the phone book. No telemarketers. This is a huge benefit.
You have only one voicemail number to check.
There are months when it's actually cheaper, depending on your lifestyle.
No landline phone, CONS:
Cellphones, quite honestly, suck. I often drop connections. This is improving fast, though, even in michigan.
You're not in the phone book. No friends.
You're gonna have to figure out another method for internet.
Filling out forms for the doctor/employer/IRS is a little bit complicated when you only have one phone number.
It freaks Grandma out.
Guests have trouble figuring out how to make a call on your cellphone. (okay, that could be good)
I see this argument for Napster and its ilk quite a bit. "I'm a poor (college student, single parent, heroin junkie, whatever) and I don't have money to buy stuff. Thus I download it, free, regardless of the law. Screw The Man, anyway." People get really passionate arguing this. One would think listening to the latest Garbage single was a life-or-death situation. It isn't. Your plea might garner a bit more sympathy if you were using Napster to download bread and water. PS: I'm too poor to buy a Lear Jet. Should I go steal one?

I know it will take a while for the tech to trickle down to Nextel service, but I am truly looking forward to a higher speed of suckiness.

I have *never* had a telemarketer call any of the three cellphone numbers I've had. Hmmmm.
Internet Access:
I live somewhere where DSL, Cable, and ISDN are not available yet for the home. Really.
