I have been on DSL since 98, and both companies (small independent ISPs) that I have signed-up with have sold/transfered my account to another company.
So far the second transfer hasn't been nearly as bad as the first (First one throttled my 768k speed to a max of 128k - day or night). I quickly changed after the first transfer...
The are even taking orders and claim that shipping is scheduled begin on Dec 21, 2001... I didn't see any mention on the site on whether it was shipping or not.
Good to see that g.mate is continuing with it... If they where canceling it.. purchasers of the developer model would be really mad for wasting $700 on a dead product.
What they should do is have multiple hardlinks to the same executable...
The program can check the value of 'argv[0]' and determine the format to display the output in. The old ZModem program used to do this to support the older protocols of YModem and XModem.. Thus depending on how it was called 'rz - zmodem, rb - ymodem, or rx - xmodem' the program would know what to default to.
I see an issue: talking to it - the moon is in the way.
Unless I'm mistaken... The darkside of the moon, is dark because it is always away from the SUN not the Earth. So it would only need to store the information until moon moved around, and the darkside pointed back to the earth...
...developing a new operating system (OS) to be released in 2005 for computers capable of high-speed Internet connections...
Ok, 3-4 years(depending on when in 2005 it's released) of development for a new OS. But what is it going to provide...
...OS would allow personal computers and home appliances to exchange huge volumes of data, including the high-resolution graphics of a television screen, through a broadband connection.
Current OSs can transfer large amounts of data, it's the broadband connections that are lagging behind... My P-90 can easily handle the 128Kb/s uplink my DSL provides... And the number of people paying for Broadband is not increasing at the rate everyone expected... The research needs to be how to get faster broadband at a cheaper price.
According to the sources, the firms intend to make the source code of the finished OS available to other companies...
Even though this looks like open source, they have worded it carefully: 'to other companies', doesn't say 'free' so it could be available to other companies at a price that no individuals could afford it.
Users will be able to store television programs in their PCs and watch them at any time and any place.
Doubtful Sony would allow something like that, without charging a arm-and-leg for it...
Imagine if they had all this available online, and anyone could explore the ancient cities/structures without all the traveling and expense. It would be incredible if someone could see ancient Eygptian, Maya, Inca, Greek, etc... all though some sites on the internet...
So it would show the current conditions of the sites, and if some archeologist(sp?) could create models of what they think it looked like in ancient times. Just like some of the books that have the clear pages that show original and current conditions of the sites.
We believe that some code MUST be open source, other code can go either way, and some, especially at the lowest levels of hardware and the code within applications, can be completely closed with no loss of benefit to the industry or its customers.
Didn't we have to face this problem before with some of the video card (S3?) manufactures that refused to give out programming information... Code to control hardware should be open just like any of the other code.
The current Hughes DirectTV/TIVO combo is on sale for $99, but requires $10/month fee.. In less than a year I'd be paying more in subscribtion fees than for the device. I'd be willing to pay $200-250 for the box without a subscription.
Tivo service provides schedule, Time, and Program content. I am already getting the first two, with my subscribtion to DirectTV. Instead of making the TIVO Box call some TIVO server nightly, just send the data down in the Satellite signal.
The DirecTV/TIVO box is much cheaper than the TIVO, since it does not require an MPEG2 encoder. All the TIVO information can be sent down in the Satellite data, don't make us pay a subscribtion fee, just charge us a fair price on the equipment.
One objective is to NOT support any extra hardware.
So with my board's original BIOS, the SCSI BIOS comes up after the regular BIOS. This allows configuring of the controller, each device, low-level disk formating, etc. So will the SCSI BIOS still be displayed on boot-up? If not, I would have lost alot of functionality by using the LinuxBIOS.

Why didn't you just ask a local heating/cooling company? There several ways to handle it... depending on the size of the house, you can have multiple systems, or have dampers in the the ventilation system that can control the air flow to each rooms (with multiple thermostats).

Looks like the supported Chipsets are quite limited. And I could find no information on their site about extra hardware that is typically included on the motherboard.
For example I've got a 440LX motherboard with Adaptec SCSI built-in. The 440LX is not supported and there was absolutely no information about the SCSI. It seems like all the new motherboards include RAID controllers... I found no information about these either..
So for the markets they mentioned(embedded, and clusters), this is useful... but I don't see normal users needing this.
In creating systems, normally you have an architecture in which you design and code to. Having a architecture, after the fact, can help, but is not nearly as useful as having it to start.

I could see television stations wanting one, but for other people there are plenty of other options including the new .info and .biz domains.
The official press release is at: palm.
There's a little more in the article at news.com
25 Mb/s = 3.125 MB/s = 187.5 MB/min = 11.25 GB/hr = 270 GB/day = 8.1 TB/month

Buy.com has it for $2 cheaper... and if you like, you can click on my page before clicking through to buy.com... (yes a shameless plug)...

Well, I have to admit, this is one way to get your '15 Minutes of Fame.'
So it would show the current conditions of the sites, and if some archeologist(sp?) could create models of what they think it looked like in ancient times. Just like some of the books that have the clear pages that show original and current conditions of the sites.
It's also discussed at news.com .

Right now, They have the lead because of better supply of the consoles... If it's not on the shelf, you can't buy it.
Once Nintendo and MS catch-up on the supply... Sony will likely drop the price to make it more attractive vs. the other consoles, especially MS's.
Yep, it's just you...
