I have had a pump driven machine that broke a few years ago and have been using a stovetop espresso machine ever since. The flavor is not quite the same but it is a close as I can get without paying 4 dollars for a breve at school.
Seriously how long until we can download every single TV Show and Movie ever made over a weekend? Will they still be able to even call it piracy when it is so easily copied?
10 mb/s down and 2 megs up in Southern Oregon for 70 dollars a month. Last month we downloaded 70 Gigabytes of data, mostly educational videos my GF uses.
I remember when each generation of games cinematics would be a preview of the gaming graphics of the next few generations of games. At some point when ray tracing and 3 month compiles on render farms were required to get 30 minutes of cinematics I sort of missed the point. It is not like we are going to get real time ray tracing soon.
I'm sorry but CRTs are still around even if the more popular Trinitron tubes are no longer being manufactured. Me and my girlfriend get migraines and we prefer a cheap used 17" monitor for long sessions at the computer than our 20" monitors, for one while the CRT has hummed along without complaint from moving around the house and the country, both of the LCD monitors have had to be returned under warranty for problems with holding a specific resolution or just turning on. When LCDs are as rock solid as my 12 year old 21" Sony Trinitron, maybe than I will switch completely.
Problems arise when you use some ink cartridges over and over again, I had to superglue the circuit board on my brother ink cart after about 5 refills. It just fell off during printing one day.
Agreed, when you can get color for 10 cents a page at most college campuses why bother with inkjets? I just bought a Brother 2070N a 100 dollar networkable printer about 3 months ago, and have printed over 1000 pages without changing the toner cartridge, which costs 45 dollars.
The last printer I was using was a Brother 3240 all in one and I was spending 100 dollars a month in cartridges with color evaporating and black cartridges lasting 100-250 pages. Truly one of the most awful printers in existence.

The last house I lived in I had RJ-42 jacks in every room, it took 2 days to snake the cable from the upstairs to the downstairs. Wireless for me is good for outside and not much else. I guess if you live in an apartment you really can't but what geek here can't go get a 500' spool and wire their house in a weekend?
The voodoo 3 sold more copies than the other two. You can still see them in Fry's Electronics every blue moon it seems they find 10-12 more of them to sell for 20 bucks.
The problem is with their high quality products losing support after 2-3 years. No reasonably well-informed audiophile or geek is going to spend 200 dollars on a standalone card that they have to replace every 2-3 years. Musicians get used to the midi quality and quirks on each sound card they use and many geeks are too thrifty to buy Creative's sound cards. I know I am.
Fry's Electronics in Sunnyvale was selling them for 10-12 dollars from day one. Not much has changed besides the cost of the DVD player themselves and 5-6 dollar bargain DVDs.
I live in the middle of nowhere. It would cost me half the price of the movie to ship it back to amazon, and pry 10 dollars in gas to make it to town and back.
Same, downloaded a movie quicker than I could of ripped it that would not play in my DVD player and got a letter, and I own the damn DVD and VHS of the media.
Almost same experience. I use XP x64 bit to run my CAD and EE programs atm, but a few weekends ago I gave ubuntu64 it a try. Grub error right off the bat, but no biggie I had a linux and a windows boot disk. An hour later still no Linux, put in windows boot disk and back to windows for awhile. Do some research and find an old copy of partition magic, no workie. Went into town and bought the new version 8.0 and it finally boots without error. The Grub bootloader is still needlessly arcane after years of development but boot magic just works.

I've never had any on sprint in almost 10 years of service.
Windows XP was the same way until 2 gigs of system ram and 256 megs of video ram became standard.

Been doing this since my first decent 56k modem could handle 100 faxes a day.
Don't blame the technology of using computers in the classroom. What is needed is better educational programs and collaboration software.
I can't find the paper anywhere.
Why bother with the mediocre writing of game novel hacks when you can go straight to Niven?

As someone who likes lighter roasted beans such as Kenyan AA, I abhor Starbucks. If you like that charred French roast taste than bon apppetit!
So it is devoid of life, culture and civilization in other words.

What I see killing the DVD market in the future if they do not keep up is 40-50 dollar DivX DVD players.
