How do people like him get a paycheck for writing a rant on blue LEDs? Hell, even if he didn't get a paycheck, who the hell gave his article the ok to get published? I'm sure there are better things to rant about than how Blue LEDs annoy someone...get a life.
This is exactly the point that everyone misses. If OSX/*nix were the majority of OS'es people can and will write destructive virii for them just because they want to. It's about doing the most damage and chaos...you won't get recognition for writing some killer virus for OSX or *nix.
Computers: I'm a freak so I have 3 here, one is a laptop. As far as college goes, unless your university has some computer program, hauling a laptop around isn't the best of ideas, especially if you're just an undergrad. You really won't benefit from having a laptop with you in class everyday, most likely it will wind up being a distraction.
Notetaking: Pencil and paper (unless you're a PDA master, but PDAs just don't allow for as much freedom with the notes as pencil and paper)
Assignments/Scheduling: Handspring Visor Deluxe 8mb and I use the software '4.0 Student'...this is all you really need to keep organized, color screens are unnccessary and 16mb memory for a PDA in this case is definitely suffice.
In sum, the most useful electronic devices that I use everday in college are probably my little PDA and my Creative Labs Nomad II MG for strolling around campus.

Looking at this page it seems to tell me that fiber is not very cheap. Albeit I couldn't tell you which exact type of cable you would be needing (ST/ST, SC/ST, SC/SC), none of em are affordable in a practical sense. I am sure the hardware for this stuff isn't nice on the bank account either. As far as what you want to do with this fiber I am not sure. Run it straight to the computers or end up converting it into rj45 ports in the wall or something and running cat5 from the computer to the walljack.
Welcome to the new United States. Unfortunately it is going to be a necessary evil, for how long no one is sure. Of course we'd all like things to go back to normal, on the otherhand, we don't need anymore jumbo passenger jets slamming into huge skyscrapers or masses of people getting infected with "x" disease. People are either going to accept that the terrorists did their job to some extent, others will say that we will rebound better than before. The problem is that a lot of people saw how easy it is to rock the nation a little bit. As far as many government agencies and other places that could be in danger of being on the receiving end of a terrorist act, your rights will continue to be thrown out the window until something is instituted that will both make citizens feel comfortable but not invaded.
Since the articled called the effectiveness of aluminum cases into question. Before I put my new Athlon system in my $200 Lian-Li case I ran a Q3 Demo loop and some math program that attempts to kill the cpu;) In the traditional beige case made out of whatever with 8 fans strategically placed it maintained a system temp of about 44 F and the cpu about 48 F. I then switched it over to the Lian-Li PC+61 USB case (black aluminum, very sexy) and the system temp is now 37 F and cpu is 46 F on full load. So they do have their uses, but I mainly got mine because it was black.
I'll use EverQuest for an example. (I'm an EverCrackfeind myself, well not as of recent because college started). Anyhow, quite from this messageboard post 3 months ago. "as of July 18th, 658,504 total players have ever registered EverQuest and the number of active subscribers was 405,522"
Let's say that 50% pay the $50 for 6 months ($20,276,100/yr), and the other 50% pay $10 a month ($24,331,320/yr). In one year they make: $44,607,420 off of subscriptions. This is a very very very rough estimate. I don't see how you could make that much money, or even half as much from advertising.
This 50/50 is of course probably way off, or perhaps not, only a $4million difference. I would assume more pay the $10 a month, so actually more than $44mil is made.
Well duh, did this guy just learn about the internet or something? Sure ecommerce has sucked as of late, or so the stock market analysts keep telling us. It's mind boggling that they actually published that, I really can't think of anything to say...except...
Not sure where I first saw this article mentioned, I think it may have been/. Anyways, has a few more methods to sharing your broadband using dry copper lines. It's an interesting and very provoking read, as is this article on Infoworld.

affected, affected
Beatin' the system. =-)

If you're gonna try to play along with April Fool's at least try to make the headline somewhat believeable.
Cartman, "God dammit!"
Bend over for Microsoft? This is pretty much plain crap, no way around it.
They need more money to develop their already outdated by 2 years console.
Way to go on posting a link on slashdot to a site that needs $20k so it will stop crashing on and off...I'm sure it really helps.
...takes some balls to blatently rip off consumers. Especially to be so nonchalant about it.
I guess I can sleep now that I know the mystery behind lemming population flucuations.

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't this movie come out Christmas? Or are the Danes getting it earlier? If they aren't then...whoa.

Note how it is only being run on UPN...nuff said.
...so uh how much attention would a robotic mistress require?
Perhaps IBM has unleashed a bigger, stronger, smarter Deep Blue AI upon the Internet. Its only task is to play chess and get rumour mills pumping.
