But Qwest wants $32, while in bundle with home package the same DSL costs $27.
Besides, only in some areas Qwest offers 1.5 Mbps downlink, in most markets its 256/512 at most. Plus they are not available where I live, so if BPL came around I'd be in line to sign up anyway.
Expect somewhat intense resistance to BPL from telecoms and cable companies. They are not just competing for broadband customer in the DSL/Cable/BPL high speed Internet market.
Once you have a megabit-per-second+ line, you can start talking about all sorts of things, including VoIP and video on delivery piggy-backing on national grid.
Here's the list of the best-selling software titles for 2003 (by quantity sold, not dollars fetched):

4. Norton Antivirus 2004
5. TurboTax 2002 Multi State 45

10. Norton Internet Security 2003
You can see that tax software is huge thing for a bunch of people to have on their desktop. Office suite is another. Internet security (not just antivirus, but user-friendly firewall, port manager and other utilities).
Office is pretty much covered with OpenOffice, so that's done. As for Internet security tools, I am not sure which ones exist for the end user, but perhaps industry could come up with some.
Tax software. Is there a good tax package for Linux, allowing those millions of accountants, small business owners and middle-class Joe's like you and me file their taxes?
Out of free (of charge) software that is getting huge market share of desktop, what would the Linux equivalent of: - Kazaa - Real Player - ICQ/AIM (ok, Gaim is a good alternative)
XBox campus is quite far away from Microsoft campus in Redmond. While theoretically they could be using the same loading docks for both, it's more likely stuff ordered by XBox people gets shipped to XBox offices, not Microsoft.
Technology encourages stress: Sitting on the office chair in the cubicle in front of a monitor is not the best way to let those muscles relax and blood flow through your body. Unfortunately, if I am in the middle of working on some problem or complex stuff, I am too involved to stand up and take a walk or something.
Technology relieves stress: During natural breaks through my workday it's easier for me now to go to TheOnion, Google News or Slashdot and just take a mental break. Instant messaging is yet another distraction that can be bothersome sometimes, but generally allows you to communicate with a bunch of people you know and feel like you're in the middle of a friendly conversation.
So we are ridiculing Intel for supporting common architecture and collaborating with competitor? I guess the implication is that the proper thing Intel should have done is develop its own set of 64-bit extensions, making it absolutely incompatible with AMD's offering. The world would be a much better place then, right?
And Intel doesn't really have to advertise the fact that it's AMD-compatible, it's not like AMD owns more than 80% of the market, and Intel is below 20%. To hyperbolize, you don't expect Microsoft to announce the next version of Office to be compatible with Joe's Software Shop's software.

Folks who have seen the code report quite a few profane remarks by developers. Microsoft typically sanitizes comments for source code used in the Shared Source program. That the code contains these remarks has Microsoft believing the leak did not come through the Shared Source program.
When the Soviet Union wad ruled by Leonid Brezhnev, an extremely elderly person not capable of any mental activity furing his late years, there was a joke about Lunokhod and Brezhnev.
Airport in Germany. Soviet and German leaders meet. As the Germans come to the Soviet airplane, Brezhnev comes out, sniffs everyone from the German delegation, picks up some dirt off the ground, puts it in his pocket and returns to the airplane.
Few minutes later a Russian scientist apologizes: "We messed up and instead of Presidential visit program loaded up Lunokhod program".
I am not sure whether it was a press release. I think it was a quote one NSCP (oops, that should be ex-AOL, oops, that should be TWX) executive became known for.
This browser IPO is going to be huge! It will turn Microsoft Windows into pile of poorly debugged device drivers and everything will be run from the Web browser!
You simply cannot lose launching a Web browser company!
With the influx of cash and availability of higher incomes (according to local standards), how'd Indian real estate market doing? What does it cost to rent a two-bedroom for the family? To buy a house?
Do you think that Indian IT boom will repeat Californian and Eastern European patterns, where availability of US dollars drove the living costs through the roof, thus making developers not a whole lot cheaper than hiring local American engineers?
Do you see the costs rising in Indian real estate market? What would be the monthly salary, according to your estimate, to have a comfortable living in India in 2004, and let's say, 2009?
It sounds like a good title to have around, I will probably buy it just for that reason.
However, if the device or embedded system you're working on is already designed and your goal is to network-enable it, what do you guys turn to? From what I've seen around, Lantronix XPort is a good option for cheap embedded device servers, but what else is available?
Did you get a new one or a used one? They probably didn't count you if it was a used model. Somehow US never really became a hot market for selling new cell phones, as most of the people buy plans and stick to whatever phone the operator provides.
In Asia and Europe the shopping pattern is different - first you choose the phone you like, then buy the plan from GSM company that seems to fit the best.

Out of free (of charge) software that is getting huge market share of desktop, what would the Linux equivalent of:

- ICQ/AIM (ok, Gaim is a good alternative)
Google is not open-source.
That's like saying "my uncle Jimmy runs a mechanic shop, and their bank software uses Linux, so they make money off the open source".
Google doesn't give away its product (the engine internals), it's a rather hefty price if you want one of those search appliances.
XBox campus is quite far away from Microsoft campus in Redmond. While theoretically they could be using the same loading docks for both, it's more likely stuff ordered by XBox people gets shipped to XBox offices, not Microsoft.
JWZ was trying to get video to play on his box. More than a year old, but still a good guide to interface design.

Any word on when they plan to leak the source?
eWeek article mentions that leaked code was not traced to the Shared Source licensing program, because there were so many profanities in it.
I hope the guys who left the f-words in will get a promotion or something for aiding the investigation.
If I only had the money, I would complaint about privacy violation at my local friendly Prada boutique.

US unemployment right now is 5.6%, the lowest it had been in 2 years.
Silicon Valley will ad 17,000 jobs this year and 33,000 next year.

Real programmers buy silicon in bulk and make their own CPUs and Assembly languages instead of sending a check to the man.
Wow, thanks.
It looks really good.
