I'm interested to see how this will work. Currently there are two big cellular standards: GSM and CDMA. GSM seems like the more viable choice, as it is used globally (three GSM nets in US, also), but many americans use CDMA carriers like sprint/verizon/alltel/etc. For either, I assume it would be just like hitting a roaming partner and associating with their network, but I wonder how they will prevent people from just using land-based carriers, assuming range permits this.
Our lug, MLUG or the Montreal Linux Users Group's venue is a room provided by a local college (Vanier) after hours to us free of charge. The downside to this is that even though they teach computer programs here, they won't give us access to the labs. What we used to have though, and when we dont hear from Vanier, is an office of one of our members which, though it accompanies less people, is fully equipped with ~15 computers, most of which run as thin clients to an LTSP server which provide all your basic internet needs and some other stuff as well. That worked out good for a while, but then people actually started showing up and we grew out of it:( So if any Montreal, Canada slashdotters here are looking for a cool lug to join, cruise down to our website and read up on the information. We also invite you to join our mailing list where we discuss Linux/Open-Source issues as well as group stuff.
Well you're sort of right... AGP 1x ran at 66mhz, like 1x66mhz, but now in its current incarnation of AGP 4x, it runs at 264mhz. Soon we'll have AGP 8x, so it'll be double that. Still not fast enough though. I'm pretty sure the vram on the board isn't made as much for running to the CPU but to the GPU to which it has a very fast pipe.
Taco, you gotta get off the crack man. Do you really expect that people are gonna pay for this? News for Nerds my ass! If anything, you might have a few people paying, a few people just tolerating the ads, and a VAST majority just filtering them so what good does it do you anyway? I personally don't mind the standard-size ads on the top of the page, Hell, i even click on them quite a bit because they're interesting. Those big ads in the middle of the page like some news sources are just downright annoying. Thats the kind of thing that drives me away from them, Especially when they advertise windows XP or the annoying shits like X10 that have a "pop-under" ad that just appears "under" your main browser windows so it catches you while you're closin it. Royal Pain. I Realize i'm rambling on and on, but whats next? popups? click-the-banners to enter like on warez sites? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.
Well actually, the original series wasn't completely "instrumental" even if it didn't have lyrics. I dont think i know of an instrument that sounds like "oooo oooo oooo oooooo..."
Has anyone ever thought that considering most people have NetBios enabled in Windows and don't even know about it that its a considerable risk to people considering i can just scan the subnet on the plane for open samba ports.
Like someone else said, it wouldn't be reasonable to pay $20 to use the internet at 56k speeds. I pay about $30 a month for cable modem at home.. mmm 700 kBytes/sec. Someone would probably be running linux/unix and setup ipmasq/nat for all his friends hehe.

In reply to the poster who said boxes can get laid and we can't, They need us to get hooked up! We're a bunch of computer pimps that are getting are boxes hoooked up with other ones:) -

any idea what the make/model of such a cell phone is?
Where do you find a large communication node in the middle of the ocean, smarty pants?
Come to canada ! No DMCA here (at least not yet!)
Mod this one up mods, it's a funny one :)
It probably wouldn't work without some modifications to the code because XBox uses x86 architecture and PSX uses RISC iirc.

they better hope they don't use MP3 streaming cause they're gonna find out real fast that its succeptible to stream ripping.
Even if the stream can't be ripped directly -- it's been said millions of times - if you can hear it, you can record it.
What about using it for Linux games like Quake 3 Arena that runs natively among others, and ported/emulated games from Loki or CodeWeavers?

Pain? Like the pain from a needle?
5 posts and already its MySQL DB is 0wned!
Yeah, maybe you should run BSD on your pool. Chuck would keep the pool nice and warm for ya :)
I think its linuces. Like the plural of a vertex is vertices and plural of matrix is matrices
or get kdhx88.fm
that would be nice..

Well if they used the stuff from the FreeBSD Kernel they wouldn't be able to have the GPL License on this linux kernel anymore.

my prompt on my freebsd boxen that i admin is usually like this:
PS1="(\u@\h)[\w]% "
or like this for root:
PS1="(\u@\h)[\w]# "
