It would be great if Google would dedicate some more time to getting their mobile apps to support SSL. The one for Blackberry is still broken, which could make it a tempting target for hackers. Also, wouldn't a mobile wireless signal be more available to hackers trying to steal accounts?
In my opinion, cost is the reason that some of these technologies are still around. Most people cannot justify paying $40/month for broadband. I run an ISP and its hard to get $15/month out of some people. This is true with most things like cars and anything else that is expensive. So unless it can become affordable to the average consumer, they have no reason to move to the new technology if the existing one works. Also, most of us cannot just "take a hit in the pocketbook" as you would suggest.
Out of curiousity, what specs are people running for the game? I know I'm going to have upgrade somewhat (and the specs are listed out there) but I was wondering if anyone had any good hardware configs that worked but weren't listed.
I agree. I would be a lot happier to see them improve their existing infrastructure and service before they start offering other ones. I've also had quite a few interactions with their customer service departments and find that their money and time could be used more wisely there.
I figured that SCO would be filing an injunction against IBM. But I haven't heard yet of any IBM injunction against SCO to prevent this from happening. Maybe they are waiting to see whether the SCO wins the injunction first.
As a daily user of Nextel's services, I think they should be concentrating on improving the reliability of their service before they even think of what technology they are going to move to next.
When I was looking to build my AMD 1Ghz machine I considered purchasing one of these cases. My only reason for not purchasing one was I did not know how well they held to up to the daily wear and tear. I didn't want to purchase this expensive case only to have it ruined by having it dented easily or scratched. Do these cases hold up as well as traditional cases to dents and dings?
One of the most irratating things of dealing with the Bells is their refusal to delivery service within a decent amount of time. For example, ordering DSL from a competitor that uses a Bells' local loop will take sometimes three weeks or longer, but ordering DSL directly from the Bells' you can easily have the connection up and running within a week. The Bells' intentionally delay delivery of local loop and repairs to competitors using their lines. Unless this is addressed, no matter what deregulation or fines are imposed, Bells' will continue to have control of the market and the uncontrolled ability to put competitors out of business.
If you care to get really technical in terms of Klingons. According to Trek history, in the early Kirk days, Klingons were experimenting in facial reconstruction to appear more like humans and infiltrate the Federation (i.e. Trouble with Tribbles). This resulted in most Klingons looking a lot like humans with minor differences.
Using this was a very good way to keep the continuity of Trek history and explain the advances makeup and prosthesis.
I had a friend who purchased a yamaha drive that was noisy when burning. He took it back to the store and got a new one which did not have this problem. It seems that there was a batch of drives that had this problem.
