I'm very happy to pay the licence fee. That's where most of their money comes from, I think. But the programs they sell through BBC Worldwide do provide substantial income.
Personally I'm happy to pay the licence fee just to avoid commercial breaks. But there are plenty of great wildlife, arts and history programs that would never get made on commercial stations, great comedy, and the world's greatest radio station Radio4.
The evil Murdoch is trying his best to kill the licence fee. I sometimes wake screaming from nightmares where he succeeds.
Any spacewalk to fix the gyroscope circuit breaker would be only the second time both station crew members would be outside the space station, leaving no one inside.
Recent versions of Linux implement NFS v3, which removes the 2Gb file size limit of NFS v2. Mac OS X may be a v2 implementation. I have seen the 2 Gb limit before on Digital unix NFS. Mixing different manufacturers NFS implementations often causes minor problems. I think the only implementation that does it by the book is Sun's.
In my experience, NFS sucks bunnies through straws!
One of the reasons that their data drive wasn't successful was that is was really slow. Maybe the new one will be quicker, but magneto-optical storage is not known for being particularly zippy!
I think the real reason they have banned it is that the city of free people in the film is called "Zion"! This also caused problems with the first Matrix film. The film makers have really shot themselves in the foot with that one!
I have installed it, restarted, but it came up on Software Update again. So I installed it, restared, and it is still there on Software Update! Maybe they should have tested it a bit more before pushing it out of the door? (Or there is something weird with my Mac.)
"You will never seen a Microsoft or AOL exec
talking about how cool the their companies or
products are, only how useful and easy to use."
Oh yes you will! I remember my Win95 had a video
on it with Bill Gates saying "cool!". In fact, I believe it is one of his favourite words.
And "Apple accounts for only 4.5 per cent of new
personal computer sales". Well I'd love 4.5% of
such a massive market! Are you only impressed
by total monopolies?
I'm with you 100% on this.
How about saving the Australian wildlife first?
WA doesn't need this kind of attraction. I've been there on holiday and the wildlife is fantastic. Kangaroos, Wedge-tailed eagles, Emus, Monitor lizards, snakes, parrots, and fantastic wild flowers. The only bad points were the guide had to point out the numerous examples of rampant introduced wildlife, especially plants.
If Kerry wants to help African wildlife he should give his 40M to an African reserve. I'm sure it would be very welcome.
I'd say the crisis showed a weakness in the
current web server model. If the whole world
wants to connect to CNN, there's no way it
can handle the load.

480x320 isn't that high. They call it "HVGA" resolution. I thought the "HVGA" (half-sized VGA) was 640x240? Same number of pixels I guess.
These displays should be superb for mobile DVD players once they are widescreen and DVD resolution.
OLED has the potential to be better than CRT - perhaps the first Hi-Fi video display?
I hope the standard will include some kind of wavelet compression, like Dirac or Apple's Pixlet
With these you get better image quality at the same bitrate. Combine that with more bits and you have an awesome picture.
Lets hope they keep up with the current maths technology. Fourier transforms are just so last century!
They've still got development to do. 260,000 colours aren't enough!

I hate XML, and a quick google reveals:
XML sucks = about 215,000
XML rocks = about 174,000
I'm pleased to see I am in the majority - I thought its buzzword status would have rated it higher.
Yes. And it is wise to remember that "those who burn twice as bright burn half as long".

I live in Europe, where iTMS does not exist, you insensitive clod!
I bet HPMS won't exist here either!
snap!

We use Compaq Tru64 Unix at work. These days
I often come across web sites that lock me out
because I don't have Flash, and no plugin is
available.
If Macromedia want everyone to use Flash, they
should make sure everyone can.
If they don't want to write plugins for every
browser / OS under the sun, they should use an
open standard!
Actually this is not the first biohackathon.
This is a follow up to the fist which was held
in Arizona.
What does "LISP" stand for?

How do we get round this?
Better caching?
Broadcast protocols?
