hmm, I think it use to be that way in the US to a long time ago. But I'm not possitive, I just got my first cell phone this year.
Basically, the new deals that our comming out, you recieve a certain amount of minutes. Like I have 300 weeday daytime minutes, and 800 weakend and night minutes.
So the new deal is that you are able to call anyone in the US for no additional charge (it just uses you minutes like a normal local call).
So this feature can save a people a lot of money instead of paying 80 to 100 on a phone bill, it can be more like 35 to 60.
If you have dsl you still have to pay for the phone line which is already about 20 bucks a month. So I can seel this only being a benifit to cable modem users, unless you make a lot of ld phone calls and have no free nation wide cell phone.
Oh you mean the ppm rate? Yes jp2 will increase that. I always love asking people who just bought a new computer- So how's you ppm rate? huh?. You know Porn per minute.
I too, have grown tired of the web. Missing the nestalgia of calling bbs, I have recently been telneting to them again. Its great, you feel the community is smaller, you share files, you ask questions and share info.
My guess is that one of the next killer apps will be some cross between p2p and bbs's. This way the sysop doesn't have to manage the files and eliminates his bandwidth problems, you get a more fimuluar way of downloading for newbies, the fun message boards of old and the smaller community feel.
This of course just happened after being denied access to a 18 and over dance club.
I remeber thinking everything will be great when I'm 18, I can buy smokes, go into tity bars, drive.
Than when 18 comes, man I can't wait until I'm 21, than I can drink anywhere I want, man life will finally be good when I'm twenty one. But it just never comes true!!!
But don't worry, I bet everything will be great when your finally old enought to code.:-)
Alta Vista is NOT better. I do know. I work for a large coreration and our intranet uses Alta Visa.
I have completely given up on using are internal search (as have others). Even if you make your search term very specific it will still come up with 1,000's of search results that have nothing to do with what your looking for. It much faster to just browse through our main intranet page than to use the search. I don't know if it's an old version but the version is "altaVista search engine 3.0".
I'm sorry I am not very fimular with how AltaVista and Google work. All I know is that from a user's perspective AltaVista awful.
When I heard that google is staring to sell intranet solutions, I started to pray that our company will switch.
There's only one problem with what your saying. There not asking to just give money, they want you to subscribe to their service for 5 bucks a month. It indicates nothing about donation.
Soooo, they are trying to ralley their users to their subscription service. cool. I would do it if I used Mandrake, I don't but I will considerate for the future. I'm really interested in the inclusion of a small linux install with their new version 8.2. I have an old 386 laptop that I wonder if it will work with.
The mention of their subscription service is something I didn't know about, and since I now know as a potiental customer my chances of sighing up are greater.
You have a point buy my God you dumbed it down WAY to much, I would not compare a 1 click setting on ecomerce site connectected by a grid of computers to a high five.
And like other people have stated, no Amazon won't be going after everyone, and I for one believe it. Shit If I had a reason I'd sue Barns and Noble too.
You must have been using opera 5 for linux than, because the Opera 6.0 TP3 for linux has all the same features you just mentioned.
I'm with you Opera is simply the best. I just can't get excited about Mozilla even if it is open source, Opera has seriously set the standard much higher than the other web browsers can reach.
True, but this can be bad if you don't want people to find you. In the highly unlikely scenerio that someone does know that you have purchesed "Richard Simmons Sweeting to the Crappy Oldies" and good old crazy Richard is coming into your town for a demo/presentation. That person might try and find you there (maybe even increase his chances by sending you a pamphlet about the event). What he wants with you? I don't know, maybe someone wants revenge on you for breaking his sister heart or something (kind of a bad example).
Most of us have no need to be this paranoid, but once someone starts profiling you, it becomes easier to get other info (bank accounts, ss#). They are able to trap you with your habbits.
Many great true stories and how too's in this book that I highly recomend:
I was thinking about what CmdrTaco said "This looks like less of a big deal than the article makes it out to be, but it definitely could be used for evil."
While I was shoping for cd's at my local record store I thought Hey! if they now can find out what I'm listening to on the computer, than I shouldn't buy these cd's at all. Think about it, you walk up to the check out and place the cd's on the counter to be wrung up -RIGHT THERE IN PLAIN SITE!!! RIGHT WHERE SATAN HIMSELF CAN SEE THEM!!!
So I've started sneaking the cd's into my coat pocket before I even get to the counter. Now satan will never know.

Ok, I'll do it. But NOT because Bush says! I just want to make that clear.

The real reason for being turned off-
"I'm sorry, I can't see you anymore. No, its your website. I need more content than that."
If MS had responded back in November when he made the sploit known.
heheh, you said "sploit". Man I tot agree w/ you thou.
If you have dsl you still have to pay for the phone line which is already about 20 bucks a month. So I can seel this only being a benifit to cable modem users, unless you make a lot of ld phone calls and have no free nation wide cell phone.
While using a nuclear device for the search for life elsewhere, we destroy life we already know of here.
What happens when we get acustomed to life elsewhere than?
Some one has, and from the looks of it you better get in there and help him. :-)

Very helpful site
I know they should be able to handle all 80 gigs of us :-)
Almost, all 3% of the slash dot users are partying down over this fantastic news!
Oh you mean the ppm rate? Yes jp2 will increase that. I always love asking people who just bought a new computer- So how's you ppm rate? huh?. You know Porn per minute.
Yes, I'm fucking kidding.

I urge people to get back into the bbs scene!
I want this to have my children.
It can't be that tiny, apparently the guy want to feed his children to it.

From the other perspective.
