I had a Cell Socket for a while, then it died. Plus, I couldn't upgrade that one phone either since it was only compatible with a few models.
What I settled on was a Telular box. It's a company that makes high end boxes for companies that need phone service where there isn't anything but cell. They've got a bunch of products and it works pretty good for most needs. You can even hook it into a phone system so you can route your companies long distance through it to use free long distance minutes.
FYI, Sprint is doing a trial with Telular boxes in selected cities as a way to replace your land line.
Well, I don't think anyone would debate that the Unix shells are the most powerful CLI's around right now.
And in terms of GUI, even if you don't like the Mac OS X GUI you need to admit that it's a well functioning GUI. So my point was that Mac OS X has a good GUI a good CLI. Maybe not the "best" but certianly good.
With all the software for monitoring a worker's machine, and all the work thats been done with distibuted software management (Novell Zenworks for example), don't we already have enough options for avoiding going back to dumb terminals, while still maintaining an easy to manage computer network system?
What were the motivations and decisions regarding the decision to leave the x86 market? And, does Sun see it's move as a "capitulation" to the Open Source OS's that currently reign on the x86 platform?

Monsanto is the manufactuer of Nutra Sweet. They are evil. The only reason NutraSweet got approved was because there were former Monsanto employees on the board of the FDA at the time.
First, let me say I agree totally that this was a GREAT movie. I loved it. I was slightly disappointed though with how often Peter Jackson decided to delve into his roots as a horror movie maker and "scare" us. It just seemed that sometimes the fright and gore was put there just to be shocking and not really move the story.
The main reason I guess this bothered me is that I think some people will be turned off by the movie becuase of the gore and won't be able to see the incredible story that they brought to life (and they did an EXCELLENT job at bringing it to life). For example, I don't think my kids will be seeing this till their older and I know my wife won't get into it as much because of the gore...
I've been trying Mozilla on and off since it's first milestone builds, and holy schmekies this is the best and most stable one yet. I'm so totally impressed. Still trying sites to see about compatibility, but so far it seems really good with new standards.
The State Government in Minnesota is almost all Union, including all the Info Tech people. The biggest problem we have is that we aren't in a union dedicated to IT staff issues so we're bargaining right along side Foresters and Special Education Coordinators, etc.,. Our salaries could definatly be more in line with industry.
Just saw it last night and I have to agree that it was a great flick.
I also agree that the human animation is soooo close, but just not quite all the way yet. Just normal movements were good, but sometimes in the high action scenes the fluidity lost it's smoothness.
Hehe, I have such great memories. Even though it was Sid Meier, Civ Call to Power was pretty good and got me through the first two weeks of my first kid. I'd play for an hour, go feed him, go back and play for an hour or two, go feed him, hehehe. Guess I'll have to have another kid when III comes out:).
I used to be a DSL customer through the local telco. I'm now a happy Cable modem user. The telco's had a great opportunity bring easy home internet access to everyone. DSL was out a viable option long before two way cable. Did they do anything with this opportunity? No. So now cable is everywhere, plus my cable company actually wants to make me happy. They're customer service actually is willing to help when I have a problem.
I think the real point though, is that in the not to distant future, home recording with studio quality is going to be a reality. It's the paradigm shift that's important, not nessicarily how good the quality is right now. Plus, I know musicians who can get studio quality out of their home studios. It just takes some talent and elbow grease.
Last night a friend of mine played my his latest mix he arranged using Acid. (Sweet, sweet program). It sounded just like a studio recording, and was incredible quality. He did this in a day on him home PC. So for a grand or so, anyone can get the music down. Of course it still takes talent to make the music.
Actually I would say that the KDE shot looks more like MacOS. The close window box is on the wrong side (for windows) and the buttons have the same beveled look that Mac has used since OS8...
Now that GNOME and KDE have become solid top notch desktops we should actually be thankful to have both. In the windows world there's really only one choice. At least on UNIX we have a choice of two desktops that are similar enough that people can move between the two (from a user perspective), yet different enough to give developers a real choice in what side they want to work with.
Most of the vendors we have worked with are really good about integration, but one in particular seemed to really stand out. Have you checked out Allaire's JRun 3.0? We tried them out against BEA and really felt like they kicked WebLogic's butt. Here's Allaire's website.

This has got to be a joke. CNET scooping the rumor sites? That's gotta be unheard of.

And isn't it nice that Mac OS X now gives you the best of both worlds :)
A lot of people think were killing ourselves with cell phones now. Guess we might as well go all the way and use the hard stuff :)

Nope. She's in Fellowship of the Ring too.
I think you'll be suprised at his character in the movie. He's not nearly as intense as in that snipit in the preview.

Hehe, yeah, I pressed the submit too early. I meant to say that "wasn't" not was.
Sorry.

Right on. I'm no M$ lover, but I really don't see the point of this story either.
And LOL: News for kiddies. Stuff thats l337
I'll be laughing about that one for a while...
One thing to make sure of, is that you use a 1.3 JDK. It's much faster and seems slimmer. I noticed a MAJOR difference when I upgraded from 1.2.2.
