Telecom as a whole isn't dead. Long-distance is what's dead, thanks in large part to the Internet. AT&T and MCI realized this, and with the help of some recent laws began poking into the local service market, reselling service over the local companies' lines. Local-LD Combo packages like AT&T's One Rate and MCI's Neighborhood are a real threat to ILECs, and now both of the big'uns are also branching into DSL territory (I believe MCI literally just started offering DSL in some states), ensuring their corporate relevance.
Assuming "monthly fee" is a viable alternative to paying by the call, MCI's Neighborhood is pretty decent for that. $50/month for all instate and state-to-state calls. International's damn near free too. Better call lots, though.
Where are they though? I have yet to walk down my street and see a mowing robot or visit a friends house and see a robot cleaning the windows.
That's because the first use that the sorts of people that fanatically follow robot news would have for a robot would be as a sex toy. They're all inside.
Isn't that harassment? Kazaa is so far a legal program. Until it's declared otherwise I don't think I should have to deal with obscenities screamed at me by one group that doesn't like what I'm doing.
Well, it's photogenic if nothing else. Soon as PC makers start putting out devices and computers that look like UFOs, giant gumdrops, table lamps, and various kitchen appliances, we'll doubtless see icons for those too.:)
He noted that 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment and MGM Home Entertainment offer both versions on a single disc -- a policy that other studios ought to follow, Lugash said.
Why is it, again, that they're bothering to include full-frame at all? Is it simply for the benefit of those that can afford DVD players but not larger-than-embarrassingly-small televisions?
even if Itanium can scale up to hundreds of processors, there's no OS that runs on it which can properly handle that many.
Windows Server 2003 on a 32-processor NEC machine beat out Solaris 8 on a 128-processor Fujitsu for price/performance. Also, Fujitsu has publicly disclosed a roadmap for rolling out 128-processor machines based on the Itanium architecture by the end of 2005.
Windows Server scales up, and scales up well. I would count on it following suit.

Is Math a Young Man's Game?
Well, if virgins are men, then yes.
We're just trying to make a point, see. A car-free city would be like a visit-free website. Or something.
Where are they though? I have yet to walk down my street and see a mowing robot or visit a friends house and see a robot cleaning the windows.

Yeah... but it'd be nice for a change to see a census-taker eat someone else's liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
"Virgin (Y/N)?"
...who misread the headline as "Al Going Nowhere"?
I mean, I thought it was good that he joined Apple...
Previews 100pc. I'd go.
so he doesn't go barreling down the highway at 200 kph, as if he were being chased by the police
As if he were being chased by the police?

"Le Tron"?
Heh, if this weren't a book review, I'd... uh...
complete financial boobs
or has a need to work standing up?
*scans street corner*
Heh, you got that right.

Also Texas Instruments doesn't just make calculators, either...
Right! They make note-storers, homework-doers, and test-cheating devices.
At least he gets a sex scene with Moss before he heads off to the city of Zion. It's one of the few breaks from the relentless action
I don't consider a sex scene a break from action, well, not exactly...
Paperless toilet = bidet + hot air dryer.
(Careful with the temperature regulation on that dryer, though; who needs a singed sphincter?)

That's a relief, now I don't have to buy Windows Server 2003.
:)
Mmhmm. Longhorn is a client OS. It is the successor to XP, not 2003.
I hope that you're not planning to use Longhorn for all your datacenter needs, or Server 2003 for all your desktop needs.
How long until the X10 PATRIOT Act?
about 90 per cent of the universe is missing
I'd look in Windows.
Slashdot that thing hard enough and it may well vibrate.

"That so?" *beep beep boop*
