Having the dead tree version gives you those collectible Absolut images on the back cover. Might be kind of cool to rip the back cover off each issue and frame them and hang them around the game room in a house. Or use it as wallpaper for the "man's bathroom".
Not much of a comparison. Wired publishes their entire magazine online for free. Not sure what the reasoning is behind that move, but they're still alive for now anyways.
Hell yeah. I spent the day trying to write a unit that could detect an internet connection (LAN or DUN) and if one wasn't present, start up the default DUN, and it had to work on ALL versions of Windows, and also handle Windows doing an AutoDial during the LAN detection phase.
I did an initial flow chart of how the detection should work. Of course after spending the day running a floppy from machine to machine to test the unit, and numerous hours in the newsgroups, it finally works nearly perfectly. Of course now I have to create a new flowchart to match what the unit ACTUALLY does now. Although I can keep two of the processes in the diagram (terminators for "connection good" and "no connection")
That's something that's always bugged me. Why is it that the heads are allowed enough flexibility to touch the heads in the first place? Why not make them rigid enough so they stay in a fixed location relative to the platter regardless of air movement?
Why not develop a speedy drive that can slow itself down if it starts to generate too much heat or if it's not being used (as opposed to shutting it completely off)? I assume it's probably much easier to create a single speed motor than a variable speed one, but what would the disadvantages be?
Of course there may not be any true advantages to such a thing either, although I tend to think that if could run about 4 times faster than normal for 10 second while it loads a single big file it might be worth it. There's also a chance that these alredy exist and I'm just out of the loop;)
Well, they're off to a bad start on reform if they going to try and take away the technical jargon. That will simply make the process too vague and would allow it to apply to much more than it should be.
The answer is not to dumb things down, it's to hire people that can understand the technical jargon in the first place.
Jesus won't be on slashdot because he refuses to switch from Windows to Linux. Apparently Jesus never loses his data when his Windows box crashes because he always saves.:P
This is 2002. Everything, including achieving balance between body and mind takes place in zero-time. Well, except for Slashdot posting, that takes 20 seconds.
ADVICE: Just don't download the Lilo & Stitch movie and let your kids watch it without checking it first. Unless you let your kids watch orgy filled vampire movies.
Reminds me a customer that called our ISP to sign up. He asked if he could get the Internet on floppies instead of a CD because he didn't have a CDROM drive.

And eBay will pay for this enormous undertaking by raising their commission to 90%?

They seem nice to me too.
Matter of fact, I get e-mails every day from this lonely Russian women that's just looking for a good American man to marry her.

Pfff. What are you? A professional.
Real developers jump in and just write.
Then when you're done, you write it from scratch again after seeing all the mistakes you made the first time.
Then you write it a third time and add comments since you can't remember what the hell you were thinking at 3:00AM on the last rewrite.
You think I'm wrong? Look at Windows CE.
I'll bet you were. That's a pretty small icon to notice it, but there it is. There's not 50 stars on it. I'll be damned. ;)
Just kidding, I know you're talking about the stripes.
That didn't come out right:

I have improved my eyesight substantially
How did you improve your eyesight? Lasik? Staring through pieces of paper with little pinholes?

I want the first one off the line. Moller just needs to wait another 20 years so I can save up enough money for one.
Multiple version of Windows wouldn't be redundant. Each new version brings exciting new ways to crash it.

Yeah, from the article, about a year to get them all installed.
Or is it so realistic it just blew your mind!

I'm using Adelphia too. I've never bothered with DNS as I work for an ISP so I just use their DNS servers since Adelphia's have problems staying up.
If you work for a place that functions as your ISP since your job requires internet access, then you should probably be able to afford $35/month.
I assume you're saying the you run your own DNS and mail for your home network and don't run them for the outside world, right?
I wouldn't mind running my own mail server if my ISP would allow me to purchase a static IP and they didn't block incoming port 25/110 packets.

I don't know about DSL, but Time Warner and Adelphia both offer cable modem service for the first 3 months at $20/month.
