I'm happy with my second-hand £50 thinkpad 750C.. 10.5" colour, 328mb, 12mb, 2.88mb, scsi, 14k modem, sound... look around on ebay and you'll find some nice bargains just like that.:)
Shouldn't the internet just take care of itself and shouldn't society ignore the net if they don't like what they see? The net ain't an integral part of society (as of yet;)), much as it seems to be. But if someone finds the content they find offending, no one is saying they must look at it: they can just forget about it and move on to something that does interest them. You can't police the internet.
The net is a free medium, and although I can understand that some people want it to be controlled, how likely is internet policing?
Numbers of log-ons and connections is probably declining because more people are using broadband, meaning permanent connections, and the number of dialup connections is going down. This means people are settling with their broadband isp, and forgetting about the multitude of dialups that they used to use to get a decent connection, and also to see which dialup connection suited them best.
Come on, just how likely is it that the number of people getting net access is going down? Well, maybe because the majority now have connections, thus a slowdown in the number of new isp registrations. Seems logical enough, don't you think?
That's a point:)
Humans *are* part of nature, at least 15m years ago we were.. but now, with flying cars 'n' stuff, the birds up there will begin to wonder. Maybe.;)
Better enjoy the last years of relatively clear skies, where nature is free to take its course, planes can fly easily, etc etc:)
I predict a boom in roof repairs when this technology is introduced..
Come on, intel have being doing this stuff for decades. They know what they're doing and all their products have been top-notch. Remember the pentium bug? They [eventually] fixed that, so surely they can sort out the P4.
Intel have got this far, they're the experts. Now you're implying that they've totally screwed up? I don't think they have.
AMD may be faster in some cases - but aren't as good quality.
And no, i don't work for intel. Just consider the fact that intel know what they're doing eh?:]

A computer can only be as good as the person who programmed it to play chess!

Actually, not many British folk find all the British comedy funny, ;) and some think it absolute rubbish.
You're definitely not alone..

aliens *DO NOT* exist.
Prove it. In fact, it's recently been *proven* that there is life on Mars.
.. either that they are looking for new planets, stars etc., or they are intent on making us look even smaller in the universe. ;)
Let's just hope the buyer buys in support of the community. MS as a buyer? *shudder* Don't dwell on it..
Perhaps /. should tack on an update to the story with that url? Indeed it's not the full story, but it's an overview anyway,

yeah, but they would have to get one of the school students to install the new drive (considering teacher knowledge of computers). :)
