analogue cable in the UK always uses frequencies that TVs alone cannot tune into and require a set top box. I've never seen a system that didn't need one, although I understand that this is often the case in the USA. Years ago, when I had analogue cable, the cable box gave a baseband ouput of around eight UHF channels, one of which was switched, and I did indeed split that feed all around the house. I use digital satellite now, which gives only one baseband out - shitty UHF composite video that doesn't even have line 23 switching.
is water ALWAYS metered in the US? in the Uk we (almost) always pay a flat fee. Does it strike you as odd that you pay on the meter for water but generally not for telephone calls? Which doyou think is more important in general?
well, you can. It's just that he'd have to watch the same channel as you - and he probably doesn't want to do that when he can get more choice from free-to-air. I don't know how it's working out in the US, but "unlimited" access has been repeatedly shown to mean "unlimited unless you actually use it al the time in which case we unsubscribe you without warning and it's all in the terms & conditions so you can't actually complion" access in the UK. BT are especially good at this, and have had various of their exciting adverts for their shite services withdrawn by our advertising standards body.
will the water company start proceedings if you give someone a glass of water? Maybe the power company will insist that your windows aremirrored so none of THEIR light gets out. This is fucking outrageous - if you've paid these pricks for the bandwidth, then it's yours to do with as you please.
the.Mac nugget is gleaned from beta builds of OSX that they've obtained wherein - apparently - iTools is rebranded as.Mac. This could be a ruse on Apple's part to wind up the rumour mongers (who they HATE) or a working title or any one of a hundred other things. Face it TS, nothing's 100% until it's in the shops - and even then it might die due to any number of reasons. Think Cube.
it's built into the machine, numb-nuts. Apple have been selling larger screens for years. But we're all really impressed with your big LCD - I bet it drives all the girls crazy when you tell them about it.
how can you derive any information from that sentence? It's complete gibberish - if someone could explain to me how one might "rock (something) to massive proportions" I'd really appreciate it.
you don't have to code for "hundreds of little browsers" just ONE - W3C standards. It's easier to go for W3C anyway, as you don't have to worry about browser detection and it doesn't stop you using Java craplets, php, Flash or whatever other MM stuff you want. Browser detection is the fucking pits - exclusion from sites for no reason other than sheer laziness. The true horror is using IE on the Mac - a very standards compliant browser that virtually every detection script THINKS is IE WIn, and then the site doesn't fucking work - even more pathetic than not letting you in at all.
but the T68i beat it to market. We had one in at work and, although ugly (what happened ericsson? your phones used to be the most stylish) it's a fucking wonderful device. You can match pictures to people so that when they call their face appears on your screen! cool!
No, it isn't. A 600Mhz "G3" (you didn't mention which model) is approximately equivalent to something like a 7-900Mhz Pentium III, all else being as equal as possible. And that's MacOS9 vs Win 98, other OSs will make a difference.

but I don't think that this one's gonna pass the Turing Test anytime soon. Gibberish. Or Aspergers. Same thing really.

Replace it? Some people like built-in, some like separate. Apple offers both. What was your point again?

this is REALLY old news, but Apple signed an agreement with Xerox to use PARC technology - M$ just copied Apple. Not the same thing at all.
oh yeah! but who would John Goodman play?

that was the feeblest rant I've ever seen on Slashdot. Get a bigger vocab before you try again.
the prequels? Face it, Star Wars is poor, Empire is GOOD, ROTJ is dreadful, Ep1 is worse and AOTC is just plain bad. 1 out of 5 isn't a good hit rate.
Is it possible that he does not recognize how bad he sucks? This is the only imaginable excuse I can think of for this.
Have you SEEN his wig? There's a lot that Lucas apparently doesn't realise.

no girlfriend, then? bad hair? incredibly lame Tux T-shirt and Wrangler jeans? Have you got a stand booked at the show?
Shut up, bitch! [SLAP!]
Now, who's your daddy? There's a good little bitch.
I'd much rather have standards compliant websites than a "working" (where working equals MSIE) browser.
someone with cool clothes and a girlfriend?

ha! MINE has a light AND a countdown timer for timing my dinner! It's like a technological wonderland compared to yours...
yeah, I didn't want to go that far because my brother had a Rev B (266Mhz) iMac that came with 8.5, and his was definitely New World stylee
