Market pressure is impacting them, they are moving there slowly. Sooner or later they will offer it I think. They could, just to avoid a few folks wrecking their network, say everyone can use up to some amount for free then after that you get 3g or pay per gig.
Businesses deciding to favor those who can give them the best return for their dollars, how incredibly shocking. Capitalism lesson here? Of course if you think the internet is a necessity and fsvor free all you can eat access, this will be shocking to you.
I loathe web forums, very much preferring email lists. Based on sites I have seen though, it really seems like mailing lists are going the way of the dodo bird, being replaced by web forums.
It was late 1992 or early 1993 at SJSU. I got a UNIX acct and tried gopher, veronica, and lynx for hours that first evening, a total quarter to three evening.
People are interested in this it seems. There was an event at UCLA yesterday outlined at http://www.veritas.org/ucla, a debate between John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics, University of Oxford and Daniel Lowenstein, Professor of Law Emeritus, UCLA and people including myself got turned away from both the actual event location and an overflow location elsewhere on the UCLA campus.
Pricing should be based on usage, until you've worked for an ISP you won't realize that 5% of your users use a majority of the resources. People who download all day should pay more than a couple hour rec user after work who reads email and surfs.
So are all the parents of freshmen buying laptops now? Noone has desktops only in their dorm room? At schools where tuition costs and there fore family incomes are lower, I wouldn't expect over 90% to show up with them. This is also likely related to a lot of high schools now doing what is called one to one computing, where our tax dollars buy every student a laptop that is theirs for the duration of their school attendance, and they use it at school and at home.
In agreement here, there is a cost of extinguishing one life to potentially save another. What about the rights of the unborn child, he/she is alive right?
The government shouldn't spend money on this. Most of the civilized world has cable. For those that don't, either buy the converter or get news from the net.
As a musician and audio snob, I really prefer uncompressed audio, and when I got an itunes gift card and selected tunes to use it up, I saw they were 128k AAC IIRC, I was bummed. I wouldn't pay for that. I don't support the free music aka communist wave that is sweeping the industry, so if I am going to pay, I shouldn't get 2nd rate garbage for what I pay.
I saw articles earlier today where it was mentioned that Solaris x86 would be coming to IBM hardware by year end. I tried Solaris x86 twice. Once, in 1999, where it looked like little more than an experiment, then again in 2003 or so, where it looked maybe Alpha quality. I hope this has improved. This really looks like an agreement between hardware has beens.
Sooner or later, either bad LAN design or a product flaw will be discovered, and the offending party will have a mack truck sized helping of egg on face to deal with.
I suspect it was more like a small percentage of the population actually supports this lawbreaker rewarding act. US loving citizens lit up the senate switchboard.
An interesting point here is power usage distribution. If you need to turn the lights on earlier in the morning, but don't have the AC on, is that not an improvement over evening lights with AC on, after the roof of your home has been blasted by the Sun all day? Personally, I'd rather have it lighter out later. People use lights in the bathroom to prep anyway, whether it is light out or not.
I'm so opposed to kids having their own machines, parents lose control if kids have their own pc or tv, especially when in their room unsupervised. Even in college, a student having their own puter helps but is not necessary, schools are so full of computer labs today that computing resources are massively available.
We routinely hear about peoples info being stolen, I can't believe we dont punish violators more severely and make information sharing an opt in instead of opt out setup.
Mapquest gets their images from aol, usually this site comes up as the source, http://mq-mapgend.websys.aol.com/, therefore biasing me against them. Doesn't anyone else use maps.yahoo.com?

yep I was at the Newton release event so his 1992 claim of being first is completely absurd.
These are taxes; pretty much any time we pay the government money, that is a tax.

You either need to know the language of your target user, or trust a translator for assistance in gui/input issues

The bids now are over 11 billion, how about using that ridiculous haul to fund this or repeal income tax for a year?

So, does anyone doubt after reading this that mist consumers want something for nothing aka theft?

Auto extend auctions with bids in the last few minutes.

I'm thrilled to see the everything should be free socialists take a defeat.
There's nothing new here, just some questionable history. Are we attempting to get Apple more pub?
