not exactly cheap, I guess, but the only way to get rid of the cord problem is to get rid of the cords
Or to have a standardized controller port (USB?) that you could plug in any controller of your choosing for any system? I would love to be able to use a PS2 controller for everything...
Not exactly. AOL/TW has to prove that it is worthwhile to be in the court system, as well as being in the proper jurisdiction. VA is the proper court, if AOL/TW had their ducks in a row. They didn't, and the judge called them on it. Now thay have to start over. I would have guessed something more like "bring me more proof by March 1st 2004" or something like.
spending more money to feed the homeless? a cure for #include or some other usefull objective that affects the daily lives of millions of people the world over? how many billions have been wasted studying the effects of small masses colliding with the red planet at various speeds?
This is the same company that moved MacWorld back to Boston. IIRC, the prices went up at JJC in New York, and the new place that was just finished in Boston is offering discount, or even free, rates to hold your big show there. The local population of geeks in Boston is probably bigger than NYC anyhow (as previous poster mentioned MIT etc). Not surprising, and most likely a good move.
Myself, living 45min from NYC, I will not be going to Boston for 2005.
I made no mention of whether Blockbuster was fast, or slow, to market in renting DVD's; I have been using Netflix for years. All I said was that Blockbuster moved to DVD's which spurned massive growth in the DVD market, and it also helped Blockbuster's bottom line.
Blockbuster renting DVD's is directly attributable to that format becoming the new "standard" for watching movies. Without them, it would still be VHS first, DVD second. Only this year have DVD's become more popular than VHS, in the US.
Also note that the gross margin has jumped quite nicely since converting to a DVD driven rental business. Better product for the customer, at a slightly higher price, with better profits for the company.
To each their own. Which is the point. Their are aspects of every program that are annoying. Just because Apple bought the app from someone, re-skinned it, and distributes it, does not make it the end-all be-all. Quite the opposite really. Look at iPhoto or Safari for less inspired versions of the same process.
Easy to get a chessy metal pole for your ceiling drop. We use several in our office (open floor plan, no desks near a wall) that have both power and ethernet jacks. Takes all of about 20 minutes to install, plus time to run cabling to the desired location. Ours are even UL listed.
Boston to New York to Washington DC would be good. Or San Diego to Seattle (with stops wherever). Of course, that would be a long expensive track to build (land around those cities aint cheap). Americans are too dumb to catch onto any useful means of mass transit. It is always built to current needs, without any real vision of what the future might entail (population growth chart from 1940 to present would be helpful).
Firstly, my new office machine is a Dell with XP Pro. My home machines are iBook with 10.3, and a ThinkPad with Mandrake 9.x (uptime near 60 days now). All 3 are stable machines that do what I want, when I want. The Thinkpad was the #1 machine until I had enough scratch to buy the iBook (apple.com does nice refurb sales from time to time). When sobig and the other malicious worms of 2003 came out, my office was all win98 machines, and a NT 4.0 server. Due to reading/. and using Norton Antivirus, the only machine affected by the onslaught were the machines I was not "allowed" to touch (#1 computer guy {I am the secondary guy}, and the owner of the company {"I did that already"}. In short, you can run any of these machines safely, with most all of the latest software. It just helps if you are not an idiot.

uh oh. This could be confusing, as well as OT.
Back on topic; many apps don't need P4's or AMD64 or PPC type horsepower. (I say apps as in embedded usage, not as in mozilla)

Nice to see that there is a burden of proof, even for a major corp like AOL/TW.
It is too bad that AOL/TW is having to re-do the work, but things need to be done the right way.
Maybe this will help.
And .11g is ONLY 55Mbit. Regular ethernet gear is 100Mbit. What exactly is the reason you need wireless?
55 is not for data transfers... but you knew that. Try 20-22.
As to why... I am thinking laptop. Or a desktop in an area where cat5 can not be run.
Wireless is great way to network a house without intrusive cabling. Most parents are against change...

It appears we have a United States Senator among us! Welcome to Slashdot!
I wish! The perks those bastards get are amazing.
Internal bills:
rent/mortgage, electric, gas, etc.
External bills:
car payment, credit card(s), cell phone, etc.
Of course, this comes from someone who hasn't balanced his checkbook (between ATM receipts and online banking - why bother?) since 1997 or so.
Use it. It would be a shame not to. Not to mention a little unsettling to the bloke that offered it.
hand made (by my grandmother) coasters (6).
3 sweaters.
cell phone battery.
LOTR:FOTR and TTT extended DVD's. Indiana Jones DVD's.
decorative hand towel.
snowman knick-nack.
10.3.2 does the same.
most likely 128 or 256 for all but the most rudimentary of processes.

I was thinking intelligence level of the populace. Seems to be there is a maximum number of available IQ points....

That is all fine and dandy, when Apple was unique in doing this.
Nowadays "suspicious" means "guilty" to a lot of people, doesn't it?
It always has, to some. Innocent until proven guilty is but a dream.
Sure, a bad choice.

But why would you want to do that?
*sigh*
It's called choice.
