if you design websites just so you can watch AOL butcher your pages! since we develop educational materials, something like 40% of our clients traffic is through AOL. wouldn't be nice if an open-source linux platform which could be rebranded by AOL (similar to mozilla), were to be developed in conjunction with mini-beast? the platform could be a minimum install sort of solution with necessary applications...
maybe google can have a disclaimer page, where they say the this web search engine is complete except for these following exceptions... 1. xenu.net 2. bill of rights 3. terrorists and revolutionaries, except for ours!...
maybe england will decide to post-empt our revolution. please, work it out peacefully.
it was wandering around W's desk and he vetoed it! it was mistaken for your average bill rather than THE bill of right, wright, rights or whatever. history is not W's strong point!
while labor costs are certainly one of the larger components, planning, project support, infrastructure all cost. this is like saying that houses cost a lot due to the fact that brick layers are high priced labor. ok we'll use aluminum siding! 10-15% reduction... ooooh! savings! poor planning--scope creep, requirements, project management, approvals--are where the savings are at. but, the larger question, especially for americans, is why do we expect something to be cheap? this is not a criticism of open source, since those involved value their time immensely, but labor seems to be the scape goat in many circumstances.
dell is beating apple in education... education has little money... apple makes great hardware which rarely breaks without applied force... make an intel based emac which dual boots into windows xp and osx... since appleworks is free with the emac, let the schools by msworks if they want... see which os runs more often... apple makes money on the hardware anyway!
surprisingly, the sensors will increase in resolution for the forseable future! but, one of the primary differentiators is the lense and not the sensor. as another post states, medium format film has a lower grain density than 35mm film, though i do not believe that 35mm has the advantage in total resolution. once people become more discerning, they will likely look at color, tonality, contrast, and image sharpness across the sensor/film plane. this is one reason for some photographers preferring certain brands of lenses. i prefer zeiss lenses as opposed to nikon's, since i don't like the contrast in nikon's lenses.
how about when google starts to do auctions! isn't google the perfect application? but, what happens when people are no longer provided with "images" for their interests, just endless possibilities? i would say that news aggregators will be angry, and isn't this what most newspapers are now? look at the bylines on the new york times.
combine the broadcasting with new cell phone tech (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/27160.htm l) which combines cellular phone access with wireless, and interesting things could happen. i just wish that a nice tablet/ultralight with instant-on were available--psion.
skip the banner ad... how about an informational frame with restaurant and entertainment information. almost civic in nature, like a business association. this could be a little difficult in an area with fewer businesses though. but what are the economics of an access point? dsl + access point + access software = $?
and it was outdated the day it was anounced! slower than intel, slower than amd, hell a citrix could probably give it a good run for the money! The T1 was well worth the money though.
the software is of minor consequence. i can learn new technologies and applications rather quickly, but integrating entire industries takes time. imagine thousands of 500 pages books designed in quark, and imagine how much money was required to design and produce them. so you have half a billion dollars in developmnent, and you are on one publisher. now multiply by five, and you have covered about two-thirds of the publishing sector my business works within. these titles need to be reprinted, modified, updated... when decisions to publish a program revolve around many costs, adding another couple $10k's can squash a project. the printers and separators we work with are very technologically savy, but the process is the point. does intel simply switch fabrication processes? and, why not?
i have had the same probelms, which at times seemed insurmountable. well i ditched the w2k! but, i would like a tablet in the future, for my expensive windows software sitting in boxes, and power-on is in the process of developing a windows version of nudc! i am certainly looking forward to this. if you remember, planner was to be a crossplatform solution when power-on purchased nudc from qualcom.
now we come here to verify that what we have read is the cutting-edge, and old news! There must be a big red "rejection" button next to the computers at slashdot central! Hey i have 3,638,429 rejections!
if you look at the numbers, a minus 3% change in the cost of a cd resulted in a 17% increase in sales. while the minor changes 1-2% are unpredictable, 3-4% changes correlate to increases or decrease in sales. in the recent years a 3% increase resulted in a 6% decrease in sales, and a 4% increase resulted in a 10% decrease in sales. the numbre reflect cd unit cost, since most music is purchased on cd. coupled with the economic uncertainty, what would a business sector expect. i purchase at least a hundred cds per year, and likely much more, since i have nearly 2000 since 1984 (i was in highschool with a definite lack of cash).
here is the real link (http://commerce.www.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/Pro ductDisplay?cntrfnbr=1&prmenbr=1&prnbr=9503DG1&cnt ry=840&lang=en_US). and with the matrox card it is $9399.00! drool! maybe half of that, but not $9k ouch. the apple cinema hd display with half of the resolution is $3.5k, and is the software really in place to be able to deal with this outside of special applications?
is that osx plays nice with open source--standards. perhaps the real value of osx is that it can demonstrate the possibilities of open source. not everybody needs bloated applications, or local applications for that matter. while.mac is a fee service, isn't it the realization of bill's.net vision--minus the purchase of windows xp server enterprise, and various microsoft server applications? but, linux will wipe the decks clean when it has a great desktop and a consumer friendly network appliance like profile--a tablet or ps2 like console. and, linux or bsd will likely not be a single distribution, but a platform for modification/customization.
the ftc is interested in fraudulent solicitations, not simply spam. it would be nice to see some comprehension of the issues in the original post. when i have forwarded spam to the ftc and cc'd the sender, it has been remarkable how quickly the spam count drops. it seems that there are only a small number of lists for these spammers to chose from, and do you really want to solicit trouble?

are you accountable for insecurities if you admit that your product is insecure? more importantly for microsoft, if it admits that the products are insecure, can it squash any talk of security legislation?
these boxes from soldam are even smaller, and use the same boards (http://www.soldam.com/barebone/phrase/). i'm waiting for the ss51 however, so that i can install an agp board. but ultimately either a high power tablet without a keyboard integrated, or something like the oqo, would be the coolest. does anybody remember the brick computers from the late eighties/early nineties? they were quite nice for the time.

and, how long before keyboards and basic applications are available for such platforms? BTW, isn't the screen the weak link in this scenario?

is the dial nonintuitive for those who have actually used a rotary phone? i would be looking for the "1" on the other side.
does this have anything to do with this (http://www-916.ibm.com/press/prnews.nsf/jan/FFBB4 B222F4DBFE585256A0D0056C7AC)?

you have to have the good sense to reward development efforts, or you will soon have none. quark needs a spanking of the worst kind!
