I thought Ricochet was using 9Ghz... But I could be wrong. As for celular service being nearly the same, I take it that you think 1/10th the speed is "nearly the same"? CPDP 19.2k connections are all but usless for anything other then getting e-mail.
While this is all true. I think that these wireless modems are the least of the problems with high frequency transitions. They are very low power (around 1 watt) and are running at about the same frequency as a wireless phone.
I got one only after trying for 7 months (I kid you not) of trying to get DSL installed. For me 70$ a month is a small price to pay for 200k/s speeds. That its portable is a very nice extra feature.
I can only hope that this is a flase rumor or that the groups involved manage to pull through. I love my wireless link and would hate to see it go away. However it makes my fillings hurt when I'm too close to the relay point, ah well, thats a small price to pay for 200k+ transfers from the bus stop.
Easy answer to this one. Active Directory means that they only need to enter a user name and password once when logging into a system. That way they dont have to re-enter it for each computer they access on the network or the e-mail system. Trust me, people like that. Nothing pisses off users more it seems then having to enter the same user name and password fifty times a dat.
Like all computer it will read your mind. The problem is that now all the computers can do with the information they pick up off of your brain waves is store it and secretly plot against you. Do you think its a coincidence that your computer only crashes when your trying to get important work done? Or that only the important files get corrupted? Its all a plot I tell you, the computers are out to get us. When I see adds for new computer hardware all I can think is "dear God, the've learned how to reproduce using a Human as the gestation hoast, but then I'm a bit mental at times.
While I cant comment on what you use your Viao for, mine has been running like a champ for going on two years. I even once submerged it in cranberry juice while it was running with no lasting effect other then a nice cran smell when it gets too warm.
I've never tried Hebrew on BeOS, however I like there Japanese support a lot. As for BeOS being abandoned, Be claims to still be workign on it. BeOS and BIA both share the same code base, so any update to one will be reflected in the other. That said, I do feel that they have realy dragged there feet on Bone and OpenGL.
Just a guess, but is the non-unix pc based OS your using BeOS? Thats the only one I can think of with any extended UTF8 support. If so the XLS and DOC problem is a small one that should be able to be solved by using one of the office suites for BeOS. As for Linux/Unix support of extended languages, have you tried SGIs Irix? It has rather good UTF support and seems to have Hebrew as an option (I've never tried it however). Check out this link which may have some usefull information.

Take your hand off the keyboard and use only the mouse.
Yup. However this owuld be a downgrade from being a suppercomputer like Apple claims they are now.
