The average user is going to pay quite a bit more for bandwidth, and simply cannot afford to give this valuable commodity away without compensation
well, my website uses about 15 gigabytes a day in transfers... 450GB a month, yet i only pay $39.99 for DSL........... this SORTA proves that on average, you can deal with a couple hogs and still turn a profit. everyone in the neighborhood could just pay fixed fee (cost / number of users) and they would probably all be happy.
EXACTLLY... this isn't any real news, and that alone i could care less about. My problem is i'm just jealous of these people more and more with every story that comes out!
200GBps wireless community LAN... in my city? never. ugh.
welcome to the world of libertarianism. you are now an official member.
no matter what the law says, everything you said IS entrapment (in my mind, and many others)
car theft has a victim, the cars owner. but in this case, this is a victimless crime. buying drugs is a victimless crime. propositioning prostitutes is a victimless crime.
it is also entrapment, but that is a totally different discussion.
the guy could argue that he wouldn't have stole the car, but the cops made it irregularly irresistible not to steal it. and if his lawyer was good enough, they would get away with it.
the article is simply saying that if you donate a computer with an OS on it, you are DONATING your license to that OS. the only evil M$ is doing is forcing you to either format or buy another copy of win 2000.
they are not requiring them to KEEP the OS, they are requiring that if you have windows 95 installed on it, and you donate the machine, you are donating your copy of windows 95 and can't use it anymore.
NO NO NO, it is a coincidence that those books sold more copies. probably because they were better books. they would have sold even more copies if he didn't release them for free!! can't you people see that!! people shouldn't share!! they need to buy their own!! this just boggles the mind!!
my fav MB is still the tyan thunder K7 with onboard dual scsi ultra 160. it has all the pins for more USB if you want, and the nature of USB itselfs lets you add on as you need it... there is no need to START with 10 ports.
as for IDE, i thought they were getting rid of legacy support?!
this seems worthless to me. in fact, i think i'll go get another thunder K7 on pricewatch just to show abit where they should be heading.

/. you have disappointed me.
yes, microsoft is forcing all school children to use windows. they are evil evil sadistic people. you can NOT donate a PC unless it has windows on it.
sigh.
they are NOT forcing you to keep win on the box.
just that if you DO keep win on the box, you are donating your license to that copy.

RTFA.

'passport' is simply a licensible technology for authenticating users...
MS can't start charging... the feds already licensed it.
Hotmail and MSN are just implementations of passport.
