...the first P4 chipset that doesn't use 'fast but expensive' Rambus memory.
I wouldn't touch Rambus with a 20 ft pole. Is it me, or do we always have to wait for the second generation of the Intel processor (ie P4 Northwood, P3 Cumine) before we even get remotely what we want?
People aren't demanding Rambus. They want something that's worth the cost!
It's all resold by the same telco, Bell Canada, (*cough* crap) but at least it's much more stable than the cable provided by Rogers @home. (*cough* don'tknowhowtomakedhcpservers)
I regularly get 1.5 Mb/s downstream and 160 kb/s upstream, which apparently is about in the middle of the pack.
Here in Ottawa, MANY of us are on either cable or dsl. It is only the rural areas with problems breaking out of the 56k standard.
My girlfriend, as I said in the e-mail, is moving from the USA to Canada for this very reason. (Polticians going overboard with the thought police, 1984 style meanderings)
Canada may not be much better, but... it's a safe haven for now.
Cheers

Oh give me a break.
Some corporations are good. most are bought out long before they have any impact.
As for alternatives to running the cable, it doesn't bloody well matter. If it is your property, you have a RIGHT. Screw you and your devil's advocacy just so you can have some fun. Use your brain.
I'm glad to see people are sticking up for their rights! This is NOT the price of technology; it's the price of greedy or lazy telcos.
They haven't given a damn about us for a long time.
All your land for fibre-running is belonging to us.
Guess what... it rules.
Mozilla is a VERY GOOD browser, and they are really getting their acts together. They've done extremely well considering they can't integrate with the OS.
Konqueror, as I saw mentioned up there, is nothing compared to this.
Opera... nice, but I'd like to see the benchmarks first.
Microsoft is the defacto standard in so many realms. Why WOULD it fall?
The net is STILL growing! We just find it becomming stagnant because we've been here for so long, and it's not new and fresh.
The future IS Microsoft. The question is, will it become another IBM?
is an awesome writer. He writes very much in a Douglas Adams fashion, though in a fantasy method instead of the sci-fi.
Good Omens was amazing. Neil Gaimen and he worked together to produce something that literally had me drop the floor and giggle hysterically.
I know... I need help...
Must... read... new... book... first...
I wrote 'profit' on accident, then looked at my post and went CRAP.
I read it over the second time and caught the pun, thinking that I wouldn't change it for the world. LoL
First napster, and now aimster. I mean, even Aimster new it was coming when filed suit to PREVENT it from happening.
I hate to be a profit of doom, but I don't see that they can beat the RIAA if Napster couldn't.
All the RIAA has to do is refer to the previous results in quote.
It might be the first good thing to come out of Dune since the books. Seems to me that anything they make based on the books sucks, but... this looks GOOD.
Time to control the spice, Muadib
Strategy games are coming out in droves now... good to see something other than 1st person shoot-em-ups.
and repair all. That's all I wanted, that's what we got!
Have to love the rune-> unique item system too. It gives the gems some bloody meaning!
They've fixed so much that pissed me off about Diablo 2. Have to hand it to Blizzard... they listen to their customers!
Our culture has made soft-porn. We feel the body MUST be covered, and so we're attracted to what we can't see. Look at Europe, where any actress will casually strip for a movie where it is REASONABLE to be naked in the plot.
Stupidity leads to stupidity.
Oh and by the way... if all of our kids were looking at porn and not doing anything violent, this world would be a better place:op

We have some good ones damnit!
No wonder americans don't like our beer. You guys only drink Blue. UGH.
I can read French. :op
And yes, she is in for a rude awakening. However, least our beer is 6% so we can ignore the world on less money. ^_^

This is NOT flamebait.
Now, let's wait for them to post how it was done, like Apache did.
Open Source Security isn't infallable... but at least we know why when all's said and done.
Mozilla is a VERY GOOD browser, and they are really getting their acts together. They've done extremely well considering they can't integrate with the OS.
Konqueror, as I saw mentioned up there, is nothing compared to this.
Opera... nice, but I'd like to see the benchmarks first.
Mozilla is coming along. We can wait.
Linux is the Compaq :-)
Very true.. but not a comparison I wished to hear.
The net is STILL growing! We just find it becomming stagnant because we've been here for so long, and it's not new and fresh.

Only time will tell.
Some of us straight-edges who don't smoke, drink, or buy porn can finally use our IDs!

Since something like cancer is definately NOT the product of the mind, sugar pills sure as heck aren't going to help.
The mind and body can only do so much. That's why we have medicine. (and diseases, for that matter)
I hate to be a profit of doom, but I don't see that they can beat the RIAA if Napster couldn't.

we are being monitored.
We knew this.
I am more curious as to how they sift through the data than how they tap the pipeline.

I'm sold!
Microsoft out the window!
Linux out the window!
C'mon new OS... save me taht 75 bucks!
I was just speaking of what's been advertised. I didnt' want to SCARE everybody. ^___^
