"Unlimited" services can't work. Someone's got to pay for the bandwidth somewhere.
I'm with Swiftel in Australia, and for AU$65/month, I get 512/128, with a 16GB/month download quota. This has built up to 16GB from the 8GB I was getting when I signed up in October. (They tend to increase user's download quotas every month or so as they receive more customers)
On top of that, p2p traffic between users in the same state doesn't count towards your quota, and a few users have set up eMule/DC++ servers (restricted to Swiftel IP ranges), which have been announced on Swiftel's user forums.
Plus, if you go over your download quota, it only costs AU$5/GB (charged per MB). Compare this to the horrendous amount Telstra charge their users.
I suppose it is truly unlimited. You just have to pay a very reasonable amount for what you use.:)
That's really odd looking. I didn't realise that Timex released the Sinclair machines in the US. They're almost identical except for the logo. The TS1000 is the US model of the Sinclair ZX-81, my first computer!
I had a further browse around that site and found the Timex Sinclair 1500, which was basically a Sinclair ZX Spectrum (my 3rd computer) in a shiny case. I challenge any 1980's UK Speccy addict to not be ever so slightly freaked out by a picture of the Timex Sinclair 1500.
Bah! You guys got a shiny tape recorder too, I had to line mine into my stereo.
Bizarre. Last time I was in the UK, all Lidl sold were things like really nasty beer and watery pies. They did do a line of really nice biscuits as I recall though.
If the laptops have a Lidl logo on them, I'd pick one up for the novelty value;)
I think it would've been more fitting if MS had spoofed "Smokey and the Bandit" instead. Ballmer and Gates could have played Big and Little Enos Burdette respectively, making underhanded deals and paying people off.
It could star Darl McBride and Chris Sontag as Sheriff Buford T. Justice and Junior respectively, haphazardly chasing after Linus playing the Bandit, and Samuel J. Palmisano (CEO of IBM) playing the Snowman.
I realize there are a few applications that run on x86 Linux and not Linux for PPC for whatever complicated compilations reasons, but can anyone list me some of those applications?
I'd imagine the list would be the same as the list of applications that can't be compiled under Darwin (ppc) for whatever reason. Speaking from my own point of view, I really can't see many good reasons to run Linux under Mac OS X, when you've got a perfectly good Unix installed already.
Have a look at the package list on Fink. It's probably very similar to the list of apps available to Yellow Dog. You can work out what's not available from there.;)
Check out The Ebola Monkey Man. Not only is it extremely funny, but it shows just how widespread the problem is, and just how far these fucks will go to try and steal your money.
Agreed. I can see them sweating now, hoping against hope that they can keep this shambles out of court as long as they can. As soon as it does go to court, their whole stock-pumping game is over.
They should do what I did when I fried that bar code scanner at work that time; just put it back in the box at the bottom of the pile and pretend you know nothing about it.

Can he play oggs?
He must have misspelled "litigate".
But there's a hell of a lot of us who need thick glasses...
That page states that his risk level is still "moderate". So moderately dangerous, Texan, zombie paedophiles it is then.

A Lidl laptop would rule.
It would cost about 5 quid, but would be made of broken Spanish parts, run Windows ME and give you leg cancer.
It would no doubt be favourable to a Happy Shopper laptop though.
Hehe, you should've Goatse'd it and walked off.
Uhhmm...How about Alan Cox in a dress? :)

I heard that in certain Eastern European countries, diamonds were mightier than pencil lead.
I still use an old Sinclair ZX Spectrum for a couple of old games. Yeah, I know I could emulate them, but it's not the same, is it? ;)
Here you go!
...But Duke Nukem Forever will be out *real soon*!

As is their existence.
Microsoft Completely Shafts Everyone
Management Constantly Spends Erroneously
Many Confusing System Errors
My Computer Suffers Exploits
etc, etc, etc, etc, etc....
And it fits on a mini cd. Almost small enough to fit in your wallet!

You win again, gravity!
Maybe you could license the post to him (and others) for 699 karma points.
You could make a killing!
And what's best is that the very, very first link is to the Scientology Google directory.
Rather fitting I think!
At this point, SCO stock will be worth about as much as Homer Simpson's Jack O' Lantern investment.
