Since you already have DSL, you're kinda set. However, you may not have local stations with your satellite service -- I know one service here in Maryland/DC area doesn't carry a DC area station, and was advertised as such on that station.
However, cable is comming back though. Most service providers use "digital cable" which means the signal from the provider's regional HQ to the localized distribution node is digital. That also means HDTV signals can come in, as well as more channels and Internet service. Comcast is advertizing that now. So, there's a bit of a match.
The only difference is if you do not have broadband access. A good amount of customers can't get DSL (including me). We have to use cable or dialup. Thus, cable it is.
OMG that's smaller than my Nokia 3590 "ATT GoPhone" by a factor of six! With the QVGA Fexible display, all we need now is power, display control, WiFi, and battery!!!
240x320 in a 5" diagonal display. Bending radius 2 cm (aka almost an inch)
If they can tighten up the bend radious slighly, and create a 800x600 display at 100 dpi (so it's a 6" display from top to bottom), we will have only one more step to create those GlobalComms from Earth: Final Conflict -- the hardware.
I can see one good need to rewrite -- when old techniques no longer do a sufficent job. Take Perl 4 for instance. It's simple, yes, but not extendable. You had to write your own libraries of Perl code to do more complex tasks (sirc, anyone?). Then Perl 5 comes out... and introduces package spaces and Modules, plus alot of cleaner code!
A few of my perl scripts were just hacks. Patchy hacks that were dirty and buggy. I rewrote one, Anything, to be cleaner. Oh so much better.
I mind the electronic spam -- my Yahoo! Mail account keeps getting clogged. Don't mind the paper, though, because they're paying the bulk of the cost anyway and I have recycling at home.
Yep. Dead. It was low-power, incompatible with longer-range tech, and overhyped. Why have point-to-point RF IrDA when you can have wireless Ethernet to already connected networks, including your machine?
Linux Journal's May 2003 issue had an article from Rob Love about what's new in the 2.6 kernel (new VM, ALSA, improved IO subsystem, preemptive kernel) and with a few items: SCSI needs to be rewritten to make it smarter than the drivers, and the TTY code needs a rewrite -- "it's looking like to be hack."
Contact Yahoo's lawyers, and have them check to see if they're also being DOS'ed too. If so, well, you got a pattern of abuse and more proof of their intentions.
Unfortunately, killing the referer header breaks alot of sites which are blocking image pointing. We (KeenSpace) just put in header checking. We do it so that if a request for an image isn't from a webpage we host (eazy stuff to do), it's 404'ed.

Let us think about this:

Bending radius 2 cm (aka almost an inch)

I hope it runs Linux!!!!

I don't want to rerip all my CD's to MP3's. I'm doing that to Ogg Vorbis right now!!!
Best: Sharp Zaurus 5x00SL series Linux PDA's.
Worst: Spammer Viruses
I used a Pentium MMX 200 with a PLX-based adapter and a normal PCMCIA Card to do wireless service at home. Total cost now is probably under $100-$200.
Look at NoCatAuth for wireless handling.
Come on! It crashed! Where's the core dump so we can run it through GDB and find out what went wrong?!?

Found it! It's a Debit Bar feature. Log into your Paypal account, hit "Shops" at the bottom of the page, then "Shop Anywhere" and go from there.
First, they have their own ATM Debit card backed by a Mastercard particpating bank.
Second, they have their own credit card.
They also had a "pay online with a virtual card" feature, but I can't find it.

Seriously. Who ported WinCE? This GUI looks inside and out like Windows. Even the use of Hungarian notion is appalling.
Brain: Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Pinky: I think so, Brain, but how are we going to feed the elephant? ZORT!

Already there.
Does anyone know about metadata usage? I think some folks will want to know how much the filesystem of choice is taking up just for tracking info.
Requires Tcl/TK, but has ANSI color, supports MPI, and is well supported. Also has web update.

As long as Singapore knows that it's bad to spam, MMMM-kay?

Of course, I AM NOT A LAWYER.
The monitoring company just hit you with a Denial of Service attack. Plain and simple.
Now the next step is not technical, but legal. SLAP 'EM WITH A LAWSUIT WORTH MORE THAN THEY'RE EVER MAKE!!!
Wait... I always recommend Slackware. Nothing will change.
Does it run Linux? Or can we port it over? :)

We cut our bandwith by 50% that way.
The Czech and Japanese deligation must of gotten a laugh out of it. Any photos with the Prime Minister and Asimo?
Excuse me while I take care of these catclaws and replace a keyboard.
