As far as I know, read, and seen, the PPC is a 32-bit CPU. I know it has some "Velocity Engine" in the G3 or G4 Macs that's supposedly "128-bit", but the PPC chip itself is 32-bit. If anyone would like to correct me, please go ahead.
This is a total rip-off. I'm paying about 32$ USD for 4Mbit/640Kbit Cable service here in Montreal. DSL Service is available for the same price, at 3.5MBit/800Kbit with something like 200GB download limit.

Actually, the worm got its virus from the drink. Late at night, the programmers were drinking away their cans, when they identified the virus. They called it Code Red.
I think that this article is pretty disappointing. There is no reason to think that technology is going trough a slowdown, we're actually inventing a lot of -new- things, it's just that these discoveries haven't had a use yet. To take the analogy that the article talks about....they say that during the 1900s people still had gas lanterns, no telephones and only the rich could afford cars. The thing is, electricty DID exist (but almost without any use), telephones EXISTED AS WELL (yet again, nobody had found any real use for them). If you'd had asked someone during that time about those things, they would just say those inventions are useless. 50 years later, everyone knew that electricity, telephones and cars where long-lasting inventions that had great use. We are now faced with the same dillema...nobody really cares about the "Internet Revolution", NASAs new Ion-Propultion/Plasma-Propultion engines, Bell Labs' recent DNA-Motors, or new WAP-Enabled cell phones. This is because we tend to see the world from a very short-minded, short-sighted perspective. But in 50 years, I'm sure that gene splicing, DNA motors and other such inventions and techniques will deeply influence our world.
I think most of you don't understand that the only thing they've done is remove the DOS option from the boot menu, as well from the shutdown menu.... You STILL have access to the DOS prompt, you can STILL boot to DOS by using a diskette.
And I know a little trick that will boot you too DOS very easily... All you have to do is make a batch file that renames c:\windows\system\vmm32.vxd to c:\windows\system\winlod.vxf and then rename c:\windows\command.com to c:\windows\system\vmm32.vxd.
You then restart your computer and voila BOOM you're in DOS. Just make another batch file which does the contrary and restart, and voila BANG you're in Windows.
I'm not sure how much this will affect humans? All this is based on the fact that mice have the same brain function as us. I remember when they had made this super anti-cancer/aids vaccine for monkeys (saying that it function on humans too) and the results were horrible. Only side-effects, and nobody was cured or protected from it.

Sorry first post.. My sig got screwed up :(
