Meanwhile, the telco was resolutely refusing to offer even ISDN - let alone any form of DSL. If you wanted high-speed internet, you had to shell out $800 a month for a 1.5 Mbit DS1. USWest didn't want to let go of the gravy train.
My phone company (Ameritech) is currently like this. What really ticks me off is Ameritech recently renamed all of their T circuits as DS, and talking to an ISP guy I know I found out why. Ameritech changed the T1 lines to a DSL type line. They dropped their quality of service on anything under a DS3. Ameritech also told me it would take 9 months to get an overpriced DS1 circuit to my house(I live 3000 feet from a CO).
Cable is not any better. It will be two years before AT&T gets digital cable in my area with no mention of net service at all.
I've got news for you a T3 costs more in the neighborhood of $20,000-$30,000 a month. An actual T1 line (not an ADSL or cable connection) costs $1500 a month.
You are a wanker(was wanker Milton or Shakespeare?). The Bible was written in Hebrew and then poorly translated into English. Language is a dynamic thing. English in the UK is not the same as it was in the days of Shakespeare or Milton, so we 'Merikans are not the only ones to "butcher" the language.
Use a program called Troubleshooter that has various utilities including a low level format utility. Or do an internet search on loformat.exe, this is a western digital ide low level format utility(it works for all ide drives)
Crouching Tiger has a better story, better direction, and better fight scenes than The Matrix. I was glad to see this film was subtitled and not dubbed with poor voice acting. If you liked the Matrix, go see this movie you will love it.
The regular PSX can only use CDs, while the PS2 probably requires that it's games only come on DVDs (to prevent piracy).
This is incorrect. The PS2 has two disc formats that are used.
1) DVD: these have a silver color on the bottom.
2) CDROM: these are blue on the bottom.
Examples: Evergrace and Kessen were two of the launch titles I purchased on DVD. Moto GP, Tekken, and SSX are CDROM based.
Are you braindead? If games like SSX,Kessen and Tekken Tag are bland then you need glasses. Remember these are first gen titles they will only get better.
Sony has always said they would rather support broadband with their ethernet/HD addon as opposed to a modem. I for one would prefer to wait for an Ethernet card instead of a crappy 56k modem I can't use.
A better choice than the empeg would be the Aiwa CDC-MP3($300) or the Kenwood Z919($650). Both read MP3 files off of CD-R or CD-RW, No HD size limitations andf I'd be willing to bet Aiwa and Kenwood produce better audio products than Empeg.
A motorcycle won't be any good in winter or rain though.
This depends on where you live. In So Cal you do not get snow in the winter. Also after the rain has washed the grit off the road there is nothing wrong with riding in the rain.
Also they are horribly loud.
Sure if you own a piece of crap Harley. I have a 93 Honda VFR and ot doesn't make much more noise than a car.
I cannot speak for all geeks but I have a pearl white Honda VFR and a few of my friends also have Honda sport bikes. The feeling of doing 120MPH down a straight piece of road is incredible.
and the White House just assured us that America is OK for Y2K
Oh, and you believe everthing the gov tells you? I am not sure what will happen here in the states come the first of the year. I am sure of one thing. I plan on having enough food, water,hard currency(gold and silver coin), and yes ammunition, to last for at least a month. If nothing major happens, great. I can sell the coin for cash and I won't need to go food shopping for a while.
Go to babelfish and translate father from english to German.
Not to pick nits but, German is not the language that you want to translate to. Father in German is vater. I believe(not 100% sure) vader is father in Norwegian.
This is off topic, but do not use Backup Exec. That is what we use at work, and it has been nothing but trouble. The new version 7.3? had missing install options. I had to deal with their shoddy tech support for two days to come up with a hack to get it to work.

If you don't like MSSQL talk your boss into getting Oracle.
All MS operating systems SINCE 2000 (with the exception of ME) have built-in IPv6 support. Whistler has it, 2000 (all versions) has it.
That is not totally true. Win2k can use IPv6 but install a technology preview of IPv6 that you have to download from the MSDN developer site.

Anyone remember MUME? Is it still around?

for those interested The Register has the current BOFH stories.

Did anyone else notice the screen on this webpad?
The neo-geo pocket happens to be one of my favorites right now. It would be almost perfect if there was a light for it so I could play it in the dark.

From what I have read CE is not even on the machine itself, the CE runtimes come on the same disc as the game.

They did.
No wonder I kept getting "connection refused" from the hotmail server this morning.

I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear papa.
