consider the cost of ownership of a ten passenger van versus the cost of ten segways. The segways win compared to the cost of a new van. Moreover the segaways have better access. Still the segways cant be used just anywhere like this.
consider the cost of a ten passenger van versus the cost of ten bicycles. you get the same features, and can take an awesome trip around the world with the money you save. plus the passengers lose weight.
In particular, shouldn't cookies be handled via a whitelist? Let the user affirmatively accept cookies for sites he cares about (slashdot, nytimes) and delete all the rest when he quits mozilla. That would be better for privacy and also reduce unnecessary bloat. Who really needs 20 cookies for servedby.advertising.com - and has time to individually blacklist all of the ad servers?
Actually Lucent was spun off in 1996, and it spun off Avaya later.
Just for yuks, here is an incomplete list of companies that have been spun off, or have acquired spinoffs, from AT&T since divestiture:
Verizon (ex Bell Atlantic, acquired GTE) SBC (ex Southwestern Bell, acquired Pacific Telesis and SNET) BellSouth (the only independent among them) Qwest (ex US West, acquired by Qwest) Telcordia (ex Bellcore, formed by the original RBOCs, now owned by SAIC) Cingular (formed by BellSouth and SBC) AT&T Wireless (soon to be acquired by Cingular) Verizon Wireless (formed by Verizon and AirTouch, which itself was spun off by Pacific Telesis) Lucent Avaya (spun off from Lucent) Agere (spun off from Lucent) NCR Comcast (acquired AT&T Broadband) AT&T (what's left of it!)
There are more, but these are the major ones. Owners of pre-divestiture AT&T stock who never sold anything have some of all of these companies now, except Telcordia, which was always closely held.

Now it says "bah come back later". heh.
What's next, slashdot reporting on traffic jams on the Beltway?
That is all.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Then you'd better file electronically, or when they get your grease-soaked 1040s you'll have an audit on your (greasy) hands.
Sounds like a fun project though. The warnings about the various poisons certainly got my attention.
Glad to see that wishful thinking still has a place in the corporate world. Next ad: "The Network IS SO The Computer!"
I was hoping for "PCI X-Rated."
NO CARRIER
And two Service Packs per program, available at random intervals.
As for the rendering at home, "coolness" is not sufficient reason to do it. Give me a free DVD, I'll think about it. Otherwise, no dice.
I didn't know that. Will switch to that method going forward.

Ex-innovators. Under Carly HP is a shadow of its former self.
There is a sucker born every minute.

Dark days for Apple those were.
No wonder you get so much spam.

In place of English class, apparently.
