Most don't. Yours is one of a very small subset. For the price of that, though (and I've never heard of a 750zip, so it can't be that popular), you could get a USB hard drive. Stores a LOT more and is faster.
USB keys and CDR/RW do the same thing, but better. Especially with full bios support. And what do you mean the keyboard is fine? I write or speak to my computer now.

Hey, I thought Shatner's answers were great. Sure, he was making fun of slashdot in a roundabout way, but I really got a kick out of it. Especially Wheaton's one.
And the recording artists did not bring us Salt7, Mosseisley/Mushpot Conspiracy, and and Silverfox. The crap to good stuff ratio in music is high, and not really something you should use to compare like that. Your analogue is flawed too. If many individuals or small groups of them made planes, in addition to Boeing, it might work. But there is no parallel to the independent artist. Perhaps more appropriate would be something along the lines of "Hallmark doesn't bring us gift cards, its employees do."
It's because of the difference between analog DID and ISDN. Analog lines are cheaper (market forces I guess, I dunno), but the technology limits each line to having a separate phone number (each line has a unique ID, but the only way to ID an analog line is with the number). Of course they could take a hint from packet switched networks and reuse pools of privately addressed numbers . . . but that would require they do something "different". Any way, with ISDN, the fields are separate (at least for a PRI - for a BRI, there's a series tag - they all have the same number, but have different "extensions", though you can't really call them from the outside).
Any way, it's a limitation of archaic technology, poor marketing and sales, and monopolies not willing to change.
I usually appreciate your insight, but this is not one of your better trolls. Mylar is so light it's used to make solar sails, but so flimsy they have to deploy it in space, becase gravity will tear it. I don't think you'll be able to spin the disc ("platter"?) fast enough to gain significant rotational inertia.
This happened because you're a consumer sheep. Make a reasonable effort to tell them exactly what you do and do not want (eg uncheck the boxes once). If they still charge you, call your bank/credit card company and request that they remove the fraudulent charges, and state that you'll be happy to serve as witness if they choose to pursue litigation.
Of course, this is what you get for supporting a closed and the shady company that pushes it.
Probably the biggest attraction is more flexibility. You have a lot more leeway with putting together "systems" (currently, to operate under Part 15, you technically have to have your entire system - transceiver, cabling, and antenna - certified together). With a licence, you're considered more responsible and somewhat less subject to rote as opposed to making sure you don't exceed your signal max spec. Also, you could transmit in that band in up to 100 watts, whereas "powerful" Part 15 equipment is only at 200 milliwatts.
I really don't care for the whole WISP idea. I don't believe that it's proper to be using public resources for personal (or even worse, corporate) profit. If the WISPs want to have a for-pay service, then they can participate in the band auctions just like the TV stations and cellular carriers.
I was at the Houston Wireless Users Group (HWUG - http://www.houstonwireless.org/) meeting last night and this was our primary topic. One concern we had was stations supervised by licensed operators and classed under Part 97 communicating with Part 15 Unlicensed (eg Joe Sixpack WiFi APs) stations. I believe the consensus is that you're not supposed to communicate like that, but I don't think anyone has proposed effective access controls for it. Any suggestions?
Right, so running a brute force/dictionary routine is just an everyday normal part of browsing. I totally forgot that the vast majority of users out there have a "Obtain root/admin functions" button on the top of their Internet Explorer toolbar. Isn't that what being a skrip kitty is about? You download something, push a button, and a minute later you're in? I'm not saying it's a defense, but as I understand it, the spirit is to gain access without knowing the mechanism.
Extremely useful might be a "last contacted" field. Of course there is potential for abuse, but I don't think that will be significant in the near future.
They're selling advertising. You pay them to list your "guaranteed quality" node in their database, and it reads back like the yellowpages. Expect the equivalent of full page ads soon.
believe you when you say you're not Karma Whoring (I really don't have a problem with it anyway, I get to read the article and/or get other relevant info) but all you had to do was check the "Post Anonymously" checkbox. Takes less time than typing in a disclaimer.
Yes, but then it's posted below threshold, and plenty of people will miss it. Same reason I posted the disclaimer, the average moderator is not responsible (see moderation to the parent of your post for an example of this.
Oh I understand that just fine. I thought I was the only one though. It seems that if I don't add a disclaimer like that though, people think I'm karma whoring and mod me to hell (I'm at cap, so I get no benefit from positive mods, but I believe that post to be useful to others, so I made it).
Bah, Google has no cash. Here's the text. Don't mod me up, I have plenty of karma.
what is the demoscene?
The computer demo scene consists of programmers, artists, musicians and enthusiasts who enjoy creating and/or being entertained by computer graphics-and-sound demonstration programs. These "demos", as they are called, are much like music videos for the computer and are often created by people in their late teens to early twenties. Many of them move on to careers in the computer/video game industry, or professional electronic art and music composition. demoparties
Every so often, demo creators and fans alike get together for a few days, inside places ranging from school gymnasiums to sports arenas. They compete head-to-head with new demo, music, and art creations, exchange ideas, and most importantly, to have fun! These are some of the most popular hotspots for demosceners. The Gathering (Norway, Easter weekend) - Held inside a hall built for Olympic speed skating in 1994, with a roof constructed out of a giant viking ship! The Gathering has a reputation of being the largest LAN party in Norway, but many veteran Norsk sceners who were there when it started a decade ago still come back. Breakpoint (Germany, Easter weekend) - Held at a large abandoned military depot, this new party is a replacement for the legendary but now-defunct Mekka & Symposium party. It is expected to attract visitors from many countries with many computer platforms, even old 8-bit machines like the C64! The party will have a social atmosphere and will try to keep out pure gamers. Scene Event (Denmark, July) - Formerly known as "Summer Encounter", this Danish party is more known for its outdoor activities (tent cities, bbq) than indoor.. a Woodstock for computer geeks, if you will! Of course, it still has all the usual demo competitions. Assembly (Finland, early August) - One of the oldest demoparties will run its twelfth year in 2003, and some of the organizers have been there since the beginning. It's been known to attract some of the finest talent in the demoscene, and these days it attracts some of the finest company sponsors as well. Add seminars, live concerts and their own net-broadcasting TV station, and you have one of the most popular youth culture events in Finland today. demoscene links

That term, I don't understand it. "Legitimate popups"? That doesn't parse.
Funny, I just tested this on a stock install of win2k sp0, and got nada. Perhaps you changed your security settings?

It's VIA Epia and VIA Eden, but otherwise yes. I'm in love with my VIA Mini-ITX systems (and I can run them off 40 watts, IIRC.

Actually operating systems are built on standards too. But thanks to ncc74656 for slapping you around with a cluestick on the larger issue.

Yes, but the concern was that the usage rules state you can't broadcast to the general public. I believe that was the part that snagged us.
