Well they do say that travel broadens the mind... so not only would you have much faster internet access if you came over, you'd *also* meet loads of new people and experience different cultures - never a bad thing, surely?:)
Hmm, you`d pay $80 pcm for 128k IDSN?! Yikes!!!! And I thought we were ripped off here in teh UK! That'd get you a good 1M+ broadband connection if you shop around, AND have change to spare:)
Every proper map I have EVER seen, which locates True North and Magnetic North, clearly labels the date for which their location of Magnetic North was correct, and details the speed and direction in which Magnetic North is moving.
I suggest you buy yourself a proper map in future!
Welcome, folks. Mind you, having been using a 64-bit native OS on a 64-bit CPU for 3 years now (Solaris on UltraSPARC - of course, the UltraSPARC has been 64-bit for around 10 years now), I hope I'm not racing way ahead of you there...
Tell you what, do let me know when you can SMP 106+ of those beasts together, then we'll talk. Deal?
Oh really? That'll be why it has been shipping to developers (and anyone can get one - just tell them you are as developer and they'll happily sell you one) for months, right? Of course, despite AmigaInc's big press releases making claims to the contrary, Zaurus, even in developer form, does NOT have any part of AmigaDE. (It would need the DE in order to run the so-called "content" AInc claimed it was developing and supplying to Sharp for shipment with the Zaurus).
similarly, the rest of your "facts" are equally flawed, oh anonymous eejit.
It is related in name only. the current owners bought the name from Gateway 2 or 3 years ago, promised the Earth to existing Amiga users, and then proceeded to do stuff all except rebadge and try to resell TAO's software.
Oh, and put out lots of announcements of annoncements.
Oh, and tell us how wonderful it is working with Corel (nothing happened), how the Sharp Zaurus (sp?) was shipping with AmigaDE (it doesn't), and how AmigaInc was helping Matroxto design the new Matrox gfx chips (they aren't).
Despite their best efforts to kill off AmigaOS, though, third parties are stilldeveloping it thankfully. However, AmigaInc has nothing to do with thateffort (other than getting huge royalties on the name when AmigaOS4 finally gets released, if ever).
That way, they will sell precisely ONE copy before it is cracked and distributed round the Internet, freely available to all.
So the publishers and Ms Rowling get the money from the one single copy sold, decide there is no money in it, and abandon the bloody Harry Pothead series, thankfully sparing us from any future installments.
(And yes, I have read the first book - very basic plot, even for a children's book; definitly NOT a "grown-up's" book, and certainly not deserving the hype).
Hint - check where the HP centre is.
Hint 2 - check where I am.
Hint 3 - check the bit where I commented upon the two locations and what I might be able to do.
Hint 4 - lay off he crack before moderating!
That's funny, because I have a full 512k 24/7 cable connection to the internet (multiple computers on it) all for under US$30 per month - less than half your overinflated price questimate.
Ah well, as I live in Wokingham, I know exactly where that HP centre is - must try for a visit soon:)
I note you went for the top-of-the-range mama though:-)
Let's just say that nobody pays those prices - any company which does business with Sun negotiates some form of corporate discount. I ain't saying what ours are (for obvious reasons) but, well, let's just say that we would only be paying 6 figures, not 7, for the first option on your selection:-)
All of the new SunFire range (3800, 4800, 4810, 6800, 15000) have full hotswappability on PSU, disks, system controller boards, CPUs, memory, etc etc etc.
The SF15,000 is the 106 CPU top-end system, while the SF3800 only goes up to 8 CPUs.
Oh, and you can mix'n'match different speed CPUs in the same system too - useful for expansion in the future.
All of our stuff is originated electronically, and we have a policy of retaining backups forever (well, for as long as the media will survive, anyway), right the way back to day one.
You really have to wonder about companies who have a policy of destroying old data - just what the hell kind of illegalities are they involved with that they have to do this?!?!
I accidentally let a domain expire (miscalculated by 2 weeks).
Within 1 week of it expiring, some scumbag pr0nmeister had reg'd the domain and was using it to peddle his wares (whilst offering the domain for sale for a ridiculous price)...
"The patch for Internet Explorer (IE) is currently in testing and could be released soon, according to Jouko Pynnonen, a security researcher with Finland's Oy Online Solutions. Pynnonen reported the IE vulnerability to Microsoft on Nov. 19 and recently tested the software fix at the company's request. "
Correct me if I am wrong, but that doesn't sound like M$ refusing to fix the bug or not fixing it to me...
Sir Arthur C Clarke does not have a patent on the geosynchronous satellite (which he rather regrets, I understand).
HOWEVER, his description in the paper he published in 1945 was sufficiently detailed so as to PREVENT anyone else from obtaining a patent decades later when such satellites became a reality.
Slashdot Mirror
"In the UK we have an opt-out system also, called the 'Telephone Preference Service'. "
Yeah, and they are a complete and utter waste of time.
I signed up with them a year ago.
Seen zero decrease in telesales calls.
TPS are fsck all help, they are not in the least bit interested.
Don't bother wasting your time with the TPS, folks.
Erm, you do realise that only works if other people who have had that bill actually go to that site and enter the information, don't you?
It's not as if the MiBs are activly tracking your bill, you know!
Neat solution.
Only it won't work.
Y'see, the referer field is not compulsory, and some (many) browsers can be configured NOT to send it.
Some people choose to do this for privacy reasons.
So, under your scheme, such people would NEVER get to read any of the rest of the site, even if they enter from the main page.
Not so easy, when you THINK about it, is it.
Then download the eval package 60 days leter, when you actually have time to do the eval.
Problem solved.
Well they do say that travel broadens the mind... so not only would you have much faster internet access if you came over, you'd *also* meet loads of new people and experience different cultures - never a bad thing, surely? :)

Hmm, you`d pay $80 pcm for 128k IDSN?! Yikes!!!! And I thought we were ripped off here in teh UK! That'd get you a good 1M+ broadband connection if you shop around, AND have change to spare
I've got 56k analogue modem (just for those rare times I may need it - not actually used it for over a year).
:)
I've got 1M/s cable modem (£20 pcm, or $29) which is connected 24/7.
I can also get ADSL if I wanted - cable was cheaper but the option is nice.
Then there's wireless internet - likewise, Cable worked out cheaper, but the choice is always good to have.
Plus I can get satalite internet if I really want fast downloads (56k uploads though - booo!).
Oh, and of course, ISDN, but who wants something that slow?!
Yup, maybe you should move to the UK if you want high-speed internet access, because there's plenty of it where I am!
What kind of cheap crummy maps are YOU using?
Every proper map I have EVER seen, which locates True North and Magnetic North, clearly labels the date for which their location of Magnetic North was correct, and details the speed and direction in which Magnetic North is moving.
I suggest you buy yourself a proper map in future!
Oh, there is a lot of this going round alright, just not what you are thinking.
:-(
What there IS a lot of, are stories posted on Slashdot without the editors bothering to check facts first.
Fact - the sources already WERE freely available on the site long before the "story" was posted.
Yup, this is just another in a loooooong line of unresearched, factually inaccurate non-stories posted to teh slashdot front page.
and they expect us to *pay* for this?
Everything you said applies equally to PDAs, paper-based diaries, etc.
What makes this any different?
There's no "privacy issues" brought in to play by this technology.
Yup.
:)
As in IPv4 addresses are just a subset of IPv6, so any IPv4-based stuff will still work in an IPv6 network no problem.
Not true the other way round, but then that doesn't matter
So yes, they could upgrade the entire Internet backbones etc to IPv6 (and *should* do so asap) and all old IPv4 traffic will carry on as normal.
So x86 finally reaches 64-bit.
Welcome, folks. Mind you, having been using a 64-bit native OS on a 64-bit CPU for 3 years now (Solaris on UltraSPARC - of course, the UltraSPARC has been 64-bit for around 10 years now), I hope I'm not racing way ahead of you there...
Tell you what, do let me know when you can SMP 106+ of those beasts together, then we'll talk. Deal?

"btw. zaurus is not out yet."
Oh really? That'll be why it has been shipping to developers (and anyone can get one - just tell them you are as developer and they'll happily sell you one) for months, right? Of course, despite AmigaInc's big press releases making claims to the contrary, Zaurus, even in developer form, does NOT have any part of AmigaDE.

No.
It is related in name only. the current owners bought the name from Gateway 2 or 3 years ago, promised the Earth to existing Amiga users, and then proceeded to do stuff all except rebadge and try to resell TAO's software.
Oh, and put out lots of announcements of annoncements.
Oh, and tell us how wonderful it is working with Corel (nothing happened), how the Sharp Zaurus (sp?) was shipping with AmigaDE (it doesn't), and how AmigaInc was helping Matroxto design the new Matrox gfx chips (they aren't).
Despite their best efforts to kill off AmigaOS, though, third parties are stilldeveloping it thankfully. However, AmigaInc has nothing to do with thateffort (other than getting huge royalties on the name when AmigaOS4 finally gets released, if ever).
Release it as an e-Book only.
That way, they will sell precisely ONE copy before it is cracked and distributed round the Internet, freely available to all.
So the publishers and Ms Rowling get the money from the one single copy sold, decide there is no money in it, and abandon the bloody Harry Pothead series, thankfully sparing us from any future installments.
(And yes, I have read the first book - very basic plot, even for a children's book; definitly NOT a "grown-up's" book, and certainly not deserving the hype).
Go ahead, flame away...
And this is offtopic HOW exactly?
Hint - check where the HP centre is.
Hint 2 - check where I am.

You mean like how Google cannot cache for the same reasons... oh, wait, it does cache.
Case dismissed, let the Slashdot cache commence.
Doesn't match with my experience.
I accidentally let a domain expire (miscalculated by 2 weeks).

Not quite.
:-)
AmigaDE doesn't *contain* Intent, it *IS* Intent, just rebadged by Amiga Inc.
Nothing more, nothing less.
That's not to say Intent is bad, just pointing out that AmigaDE is not some wonderful new product, it is purely Intent - worth bearing in mind

You are completely correct, they ARE children's books.
;-)
I have read the first one, so I do have an idea what I'm talking about.
It was most definitly aimed at children.
Didn't bother with the other books in teh series as the first one showed no promise to my mind.
Ah well, I expect I'll get flamed to buggery for voicing a contrary opinion, but hey, free speech and all that
