  1. Re:Lotus on IBM To Publish Java Office Suite · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No, Lotus failed in most software they made all on their own. The CEO of Lotus had his title changed to General Manager after a few years of not producing results. I have a hope that Lotus has absolutely nothing to do with this software.

    The company itself is strange, a friend of mine did some consulting for them, they have ganja themed commercials on closed circuit tv.

  2. Re:catchup on AOL Tests Video Instant Messaging · · Score: 1

    youd be amazed how cheap you can mass produce a webcam. They would only have to lock it in to AOL only usability.

  3. Id go with a ibook 14" on The Best Traveling Laptop? · · Score: 4, Informative

    or powerbook, but youll want a good quality screen so stay away from the 12"ers. Battery life is awesome on the g3 ibooks, so it is great for travel. Pretty good shock resistence, resilient case, etc. If your going the pc route, ibm thinkpads beat the hell out of dell imo. There are new centrino based thinkpads with great battery life too, so mac is not the only lower power platform. Only problems Ive found with owning a mac are the little apps all cost 10 bucks or so, and you really need em.

    Hard to bathe in them, especially considering how dirty they are to begin with. But this is /., not many here probably care about such things.

  11. Re:charge for the line, not the usage on Rogers Cable Plans Fees to Curb Bandwith Hogs · · Score: 1

    Wholesale bandwidth distributers, gte, qwest, etc. Your ISP buys from them. They are also going out of business and only a few will be around after the industry shakeout. This was going to happen sooner then later. Rogers buygs a certain amount of bandwidth, and 10% of its users are using most of it, if they can get that 10% of their userbase to get a new service or pay more they can cut costs by lowering the amount of bandwidth they need to purchase and their profits go up and their books look better. Also, for the irony 70-80% of the fibre all thse wholesale ISPs put down is unlit.

  12. Re:Blah give me my fullsized tower on Build Your Own Mini-Computer · · Score: 1

    feeding a troll but... smaller would actually be better, first of all it wouldnt drop, second of all if it did it would be stronger.
