True... also worth noting though, is that you have the movie for a month, but once you view it, you've only got unlimited viewing for 24 hours.
To quote that CBS article..
"Customers will be able to store movies for up to 30 days. Over that span, they can watch a movie as many times as they wish in a 24-hour period."
As great of a quote as this is to bash on Bill.. it is simply not true, but is in fact an urban legend of sorts that has been widely circulated on the internet.
Here is an interview with him clarifying the fact.
There is also a good interview in the New York Review of Books that also attempts to shed a better light on the matter.
To any of you using JBuilder on OS X. I'm thinking about finally making the switch from a dual boot linux/windows laptop to a new Powerbook for development. I've got some questions.
I've heard some pretty nasty things about JBuilder's performance on OS X. Have any of these been resolved with this 1.4.1 release. Or was this not an issue. i.e how well does JBuilder run under OS X?
"The technological rivalry was quickened in recent years as microchips and other electronic wizardry got about as cheap to toss around as confetti."
Did anybody else crack up about this one? I was reminded of the Simpsons episode where Monty Burns decided to rain down coins on the city to gain popularity? I think Lenny get's a coin buried in his forehead!
Yup. I use this almost everyday. With Seattle consistently ranking in the top 10 for traffic congestion, I find it to be very useful in planning the route home from work.
Before Seattle, I lived in San Antonio that has also had a similar system for a few years.
As far as I remember, both these programs were funded by the federal government. Southwest Research Institute was resposible for setting up the system in San Antonio back in 1996-1997.
I don't really want to bite.. but money.. you've got some serious insecurities to call my ass a nigger. Be proud of who you are.. You obviously are not. I wish race were no longer an issue..
The single one reason (in my opinion) is because the HDDs in laptops are slow as sh**. Upgrade to the fastest avail. in a laptop, and you are golden. The 5400 rpm makes all the difference in my opinion..
In terms of screens, you can get upto 16" screens. Thats more than sufficient for a laptop, me thinks!!. I've got a humble 14.1" that only does 1280X1024, but it's the shit. The 16"s can easily do 1600X1200. So your out of luck there too.
If people love to steal them, protect them for christ's sake.. Don't leave em laying around the airport in Amsterdam. You've got in your possesion an expensive piece of equip.. dont let it slide...
Can't upgrade.. have you heard of mini-pci?? Plus RAM is so easy to upgrade on a laptop...
Money, a laptop is dope as shit to game on when you are on the go..
I just picked up a AlienWare laptop 2 weeks ago, and am getting mad fps on Quake3 arena, & Wolfenstien3d.
It sure sucks down on batteries, but for a portable gaming machine, it's the shit. A few specs...
Pentium® 4 @ 2.8GHz
512MB DDR SDRAM
ATI Mobility RADEON 9000
It's dope as shit, plus, you can get the trick (chameleon) paint jobthat alone, in my humble opinion, is worth the price..., but after all, I'm all about the looks (& FPS!!)
I'm using both Konqueror 3.0.3 & Mozilla 1.1. Either one displays Japanese really well.
Both have come a long way in good international language support!.
Now couple that with this $655 option, and kiss those car thieves good bye. The option available in South Africa since 98 is a car flame thrower (GTA style) that casts a man high fireball on both sides of the car!. It is yet to be deemed illegal in South Africa. Check out the movietoo (in Quicktime). That's some funny shit.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't use /etc/hosts. It uses hosts that you've previously ssh'd to, which are stored in ~/.ssh/known_hosts.
Sure enough.

At least that's my interpretation.

And you can have the latest & greatest KDE running on stable.
I don't want to waste a lot of time pointing this out, but take a little Smell-O-Vision by Sega jaunt for yourself .
Sure sounds good though, doesn't he?

Some differences in particular (from above mentioned website).

Just to point out, the .mng works just find under Konqueror 3.1.0.

Are there any other quirks related to using it?

Kind of like Microsoft Windows 2000.. Built on NT Technology (New Technology, Technology)!..
Before people start throwing out other interpretations of the NT acronym, here are a couple of links.
