In all seriousness if you're hosting that much, pulling that much bandwidth you must have users, if you have no revenue plan right now then you probably should give up, $1500/month (or a lot less if you take some of the other examples here - S3) isn't a lot and if you can't start a business with such meagre overheads then you should probably do something else.
Eh? I haven't bought a locked phone for years... I think you meant to say "Pretty much all basically free phones given away by the networks because you're getting locked into a 12 or 18 month contract are sim-locked".
I get all my phones from places like Expansys who sell a complete range of sim-free phones.
Far be it from me to point out flaws in other peoples tests but these guys are using card readers which are simply slow. Getting 2.2 MB/sec write speed out of a Lexar Pro 133x CF card is pathetic, see more realistic results here (as well as tests on real cameras):
Wouldn't it make more sense for these competitions to be based on a standard road car? To get these super smart technologies implemented in a normal four seater car which could be driven as such and would perform similarly to existing cars?
I ordered one, it came, I used it for 24 hours, I sent it back for a full refund.
It ran far too hot, so much so that it was uncomfortable to use on my lap and left my table hot to the touch (yes I'd done all the checks for blocked vents etc.) And I really wasn't loading it up, just running Safari and Mail.
It's a lovely piece of design but a sad example of form over function, there's ONE vent and that's just in front of the LCD, it's just insufficient. I've got a new VAIO TX which has inlet and outlet vents in opposite places, the outlet is on the left side which means you can put it on your lap and it can still vent. Even under full load the TX only gets warm (although you can hear the fans), in normal use you don't hear the fans and it's hardly warm at all.
Sorry Apple, I really wanted to like the MacBook but you've seriously screwed up here.
There is a certain implication in the orginal story and the headline are that it's OK if it's a blog. My point being that I see a lot of stuff on blogs which would never have been published on a 'normal website', people appear to believe they have some form of protection because they're posting to a blog. The blog is just a publishing tool like any other. You shouldn't say or do anything in your blog that you wouldn't be happy to do in any public space or publishing medium.
I'm not going to comment on the relative merits of the school taking action against the pupil for what he said on his post.
However I do object to the general sense of 'if its a blog its ok', people seem to think that if they say something in their blog they are somehow protected or that it's OK to say it there because it's their personal space...
Wrong, a blog is a tool for publishing text, no more or less than that, before the word blog was banded around people published personal websites with news pages (which is all a blog is). I would expect anything you publish on the web to be treated equally be it on the front page of Slashdot, the BBC website, a discussion forum or a blog.
Yes it still requires my PC to be powered on but it enables my normal phone to be used as a Skype phone by simply hitting ** before I dial. Incoming calls generate a different ring pattern so you know it's a Skype call and it even passes the Caller ID to the phone. Oh and it was cheap too.
Assuming it could read PDF's I'd buy it... I have a library of PDF's I refer to all the time, and most of the time they're just taking up space on my screen (especially when I'm programming). So it would be great to have a reference reader I could just leave on the desk which contained a range of my frequently use material.
Your average Slashdotter isn't a 'mainstream user' anyway, and this 'news' won't have ANY affect on most 'mainstream users'. The anti-Microsoft rhetoric here gets really tiresome, nobody has asked where this 'news' came from, I'm guessing it wasn't a Microsoft initiative.
Sorry but that's just lame, most software houses would code their own embedded media player rather than a third party player. Do any Apple products use anything other than Quicktime?
They asked to have Media Player and all its components removed from Windows, Microsoft complied. Now they're complaining that Media Player doesn't work? God this MS bashing has gone to ridiculous levels.
God doesn't it get boring that/. has nothing better to do than dupe more MS bashing? Come on guys there must be something better in life than constantly looking for stories which cast MS in a bad light?
Ok, so this ridiculous new law makes devices such as the SLIMP3 player, the Audiotron and god forbid the iPod worthless devices? Well, except for playing MP3's of yourself singing...
What a pointless test, I hate to say it but the new G5's are just stupidly expensive. I can't believe anyone in a government environment would put together a farm of G5's instead of a farm of Intel processors...
Is it just me or has the quality of news articles posted by slashdot over the last 3 months seriously slipped?
This is an _OLD STORY_ which has been discussed previously on/. It's typical "lets bash the big companies 'cause there's no real news" junk...
So Intel built some self-protection into the P IV, good for them.. why not? As far as I've seen on the SERIOUS hardware sites nobody has managed to get a P IV to do this..

It's sad then that OS X needs so much horsepower to achieve the same level of usability as XP on the TX.

Hype maybe but Google is one of the few Internet companies who truly deserve to do well out of an IPO.

Does that make iTunes ripping feature illegal?
