Me too, digital camera and colour printer and you can go from taking the picture to an A4 size photo in 5-10 minutes. Killer app.
I have an HP printer, I try to refill cartridges (buy, refill once) but it gets to the stage where you wonder if its not better to spend £30 than hours pissing around with syringes and priming the cartridges etc..
The sky plus boxes (satellite pvr you are talking about) arent tivos they are a competitor. They are official boxes and they have one major downside, if you record a pay per view event then you are charged each time you watch it. Worse is they can choose to not let you record some programmes (e.g live specials).
Expect more of this in the future, your cable company tries to get you to buy their PVR so they can retain control over your viewing habits.
Thanks for the drivespeed mention. I use nero and allready had it but just didnt realise it:-) I've set my drive to spin down much quicker now (dont use it much but it spends minutes after each boot whining like a injured beast).
To the poster of the question.

Cloaking Detection?

I recommend you look at Webmasterworld there is a massive amount of knowledge there. One of the guys from google even posts there on occasion.
Just to clarify its not just the cache, its actually the links and its not to their site but articles that detail how to cut power on parts of the railway system.
Its not *their* site they want removing.
I've had NTL broadband (600 up,128 down) for nearly a year now. I've enthused repeatedly to friends how great it is but they didnt take the plunge. The big change is as the article points out the wires only install, no longer do you have to pay BT anywhere in the region of £150 to come and plug in a DSL modem and the monthly rental is significantly cheaper (previously it included the DSL modem rental). So now you can buy a POS £50 DSL modem and for £25/month you have a 512k download. Compare this to over a year ago when I was desperately trying to get broadband and signed up to a contract that was £250 Installation and something like £79/month for the same thing!
The numbers speak for themselves, two of my mates signed up to Pipex within a couple of weeks.
You know what would be more useful given the gobe office studio review today?
For someone to write a little engine that takes in MS office docs and spits them out in a open file format for any other application to use. (And converts the other way too). That would mean the people could switch from MS Office, the average office drone wouldnt notice the difference between Gobeproductive and msoffice - the real lock in is the file formats because there isnt yet an Open Source application that will 100% read/write them.
"Just for a simple reason that there is more than one computer in my household. In fact, everyone who has more than one computer (that runs linux) care about network transparency."
Thanks, stated well but I wouldnt discount anyone who has a mixed linux/windows network at home either. I run an xserver on my win2k box to bring up gui programs from the linux server, and its exactly the kind of feature that makes linux so good. Windows has been trying to copy this kind of behaviour, especially so with the latest features in XP. VNC is a popular application because it also provides remote graphical access, yet suddenly the troll on this page insists NOBODY wants it!
You havent thought this through have you. How will they know whether to decrypt a message or not. How would they know to check terrorist (or communist - choose your fake enemy) cells talking about plans?
Nah they cant risk that, for the children and for national security they will read everyones, they probably allready are.
"Now, seriously, we will have reached the point where games look like movies wayyyyy before that."
How about games that look like real life? The computation required to simulate reality (touch, taste etc as well as just very high res 3D graphics) would be good.
Unfortunately some good robots have been known to ignore robots.txt. Fast has in the past fallen into my test honeypot, I would hate to accidentally block someone like google.
lowered environmental impact costs (allowed to pollute)
Yeah, not like our american friends with their pollution free industries. What is "their goverment" - who is this evil government intent on increasing its national debt by selling you steel for cheaper than it costs to make?
Recompress jpegs with higher compression, remove banner ads. Gzip the remaining page and hey presto faster download, though of course that doesnt need any client side software apart from a browser that will accept gzip compression (most do). I guess these guys are using some proprietary or obscured format for their compression, to help them cash in.
Not much use to those on fast connections but for a modem user the time taken to encode/decode may be faster than downloading the normal pages.
If slippery-slime will help bring home more troops, slime away.
To be fair if you want more troops to survive then not sending them into other countries to meddle would be the most efficient idea. On the domestic front I can't help but feel this would be too convenient to use on protests.
I am very careful with email addresses - though obviously not careful enough:-) This week I recieved my first ever unsolicited email from my own country - a real world business {thats choiceco@aol.com , choicewatford@aol.com and info@choiceofficefurniture.com for any spambots reading!! Fight fire with fire;-) }
As far as the spam from US people using open relays in asia, sure shut them out/down - unfortunately the spammers wont give up quite as easily as that, i'm sure they will find some other way to send their crap.
It claims its a "consumer guide" so it can get away with pages and pages of pro xbox stuff yet still compares it to PS2 and says the Gamecube is for kids. Strange consumer guide:/
Disclaimer: I dont have an XBOX, Gamecube OR PS2, i'm not biased against the xbox - in fact i'll probably buy one.

Why would they translate it into chinese considering the main language of singapore is Malay?
