If I have to sacrifice funtionallity, for aestics, thats where i draw the line, it's only availble with a 15inch flat screen, it's probably hard to upgrade, it uses usb for everything(which isn't a very bad thing, but usb has it's place, and it's not for hard drives, or cdrw drives) Why didn't they included firewire as an extra feture. Oh and for people who want pretty colours, there should be snap on covers for it, to match the carpet and drapes.:)
it's not 255.255.255.255, it's 1.0.0.0 to 224.255.255.255, above that is experimental, and other unuable adresses on the internet. also 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255, 127.0.0.0 -127.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 and 192.168.0.0 -192.168.255.255, cannot be used, becuase of lan and loopback, this takes a considerable number of addresses away. But NAT(network address translation) can be used, to give many computers/devices few internet ips and share them. Another solution is IPV6 which is looming over the horizon, which should come out soon, and give us many more that we (i know the they thought this in the late 80s too) more addresses than we could possibly use.
I mean do it like a movie on TV skip the violent scenes, skip the adult scenes, and for the foul language insert phrases like, Son of a Gun, and don't let me beat you up.
Wireless has it's place, but that place is not a high performance workspace. If you have to stay connected 24 hours a day, thats not it, the only thing it is really good for is someone who doesn't like having to run wires all over. I would rather run cables, and have my 100mbit Lan than a 11 mbit lan, which cost me three times as much.
DVD has the market currently and consumers like it, they have for the most part been off of tapes for 2 years now, and they wont want to go back. The DVD technology has been enbraced by the consumers and is almost everywhere, with almost every title released in that format. The D-VHS will go the way of the beta-max.
MS also gets attacked more than an IRC server set to op on a netsplit. MS also runs backups every 10 minutes, but do you think that the data on MSNIM is important to the way MS does business,no it's a FREE service that they provide.
Now perhaps people will see that micrsoft isn't the best, bigest and greatest that is out there and will use something else. Or maybe even look into using other applications for their operating system and business application needs. There will be a revolution from the dictatorship that is microsoft and alternative software will come into the foreground and everyone will rejoice and the cheaper price and more functunality that is offered. however most people will just keep using what they use now becase everyone thinks that change is bad.

i don't think any geeks would get this, well they prolly would rip out the webtv keyboard and make it run linux. Linux Takes Control of the M$ laz-e-cliner, it will now work for more than an hour without a blue screen.
whats next a car with web tv? Yes with the new Ford Explorer Microsoft Edition you can now surf the web while you drive, with voice command and a heads up display.

They Should let you hook it up to your computer and use tv out off your video card. Or at least have the option. I don't want to spend $1000+ and still have to pay for webtv on top of my isps fees. That sucks
Your right! Imagine this company X buys 300 linceses for microsoft Office 2000 then goes bankrupt and sells the linceses to company Z, Company Z cannot install that software(legally) until it is no longer installed on company X's computers and may not be able to then it would be up to the orginial owner of the property since an address list is doesn't acutally belong to anyone and I seriously dought that the people on it knew they were the company that buys it should have to send a "would you like to remain on this mailing list?" card to everyone. BUT THEY WONT!!!
Well I think that it would be ok to sell the list to a company that does that same type of business that they did, now if it was sold to say General Motors then that would just bother people but if it was sold to say toys-r-us online or something then people who only would buy these toys online would now have this other company sending them online coupons and special deals they may like that or maybe not.
The radio waves they found is prolly from some dying star that just happens to emit what seems to us to be radio waves. I don't think "howler monkeys battling underwater" would send us the live audio. Then again it could be some of our radio waves that bounced off something and are coming back but are now faster/slower or degrated that it was in it's original broadcast.
What Powers and several others in the group find remarkable, though, is not just the expansive network of buildings and security, but the extraordinary cost of all they items they have found - items the agency discarded. I'm Sure they had better stuff All ready for them at the new site so they through their old junk away to make room for the new.
Every inch of floor in more than four buildings was covered with two-by-two-foot squares of bleak brown carpet. When the astronomers tried to replace it, they discovered it was welded with tiny metal fibers to the floor. The result, they eventually realized, is that the rugs prevent the buildings from conducting static electricity.
Even the regular lighting looks different, covered by sleek metal grids that prevent the light bulbs from giving off static interference. The few windows are bulletproof.
Did everyone that worked there wear ESD Wrist straps too.?

The Sledgehammer simulator is crucial to AMD's plans to break into the lucrative server market. With a software simulation of the chip, developers can tweak their programs so they can release products when Sledgehammer emerges commercially in the first half of 2002. AMD will also come out with a version for desktop computers called ClawHammer, the company has said.
If amds chips will perform as well as intels chips do in servers this will very good for consumers, since amds chips cost 30% less than intels do(usually). This will allow smaller companies to have much faster servers at a better price. Seems like a win-win situation, well except for intel(which will still get the high-end market share,for now anyway)
Sledgehammer is one of AMD's most ambitious projects to date. The chip will process data in 64-bit chunks, rather than in 32 bits like AMD's Athlon processor. Sledgehammer also will allow computers to manage more memory than current PCs and servers. The chip will compete against the long-awaited Itanium processor from Intel. Finally a 64 bit processor, and with amd the server chips might be affordable.
Will LinuxPPC be able to use all linux based software or just ones specfically for ppc. Will they release source apps or bins? Do you think that linuxppc will bring new users to mac hardware, take maco/s customers away from them or take linux customers and allow them to use macs?

Cutting the whole scene could, but cutting the blood fountain out of the death scene is not really important for later episodes.

Why doesn't Sun and the unix community, say that C# is bad, and it's MS trying to make comercilism where none is needed.
