But! We also have this kind of a flat-rate cable:
you get broadband cable at about 40 euros/month. That gives you the right to download 8GB and upload 2GB per month. When you cross the limit, they throw you on smallband, and basically all you can do is IRC (anything else basically time-outs). If the 10GB/month isn't enough, you can go to a higher account, which will allow you to download and upload more, but at slightly higher prices.
someone, hold me, I've just lost the love of my life *sob*
btw, read her messages, the bulk of them are about herself at the conferences, who'd actually _want_ a girl like that? Ugly and with her head up her ass:)
WHAT is in godsname fantastic about this? I think it's the most logical decission possible...
I find it even disturbing that there are discussions about the possibilities of such a thing...
No offence 'n all that, but the iMac looks... how should I put this "not serious"? or "gay"?...
It looks like a stupid art-nouveau sculpture that belongs on the desk or in the livingroom of a damn Trillionaire with a passion for kitch-futuristic-bubblegummy-art...
a computer needs to look RUGGED!:D prefferably with a dented case, or no case at all (although that could have negative influences on the air circulation for the cooling system). You want a computer that looks cool? Well it should have decorations of your own on it: for example, my monitor has a cool "Commodore 64" badge on it and some nifty stickers, and my case has a shitload of writings/stickers/sticky-stuff on it. This looks way cooler than any Mac you buy from the store in a fruity color and a "design" look.
my 2 cents on the Mac issue
ps: don't gimme any bullshut about the mac hardware, I'm talking about the looks
underestimating the seriousnes of the article...
I think.
Oh the names they can come up with...

"project eden"... how so sooo very original...
What? they can spend all that money for some stupid glass-balls (called "biomes"(?!)) and they can't find a decent name for the damn thing?
both the names sound as if they were ripped from a really "suck" sci-fi pocket book that you can buy your local grocery store.

and then it tells you it couldn't connect. Okay it's suffering from/. effects, but what kind of a search engine is this if it can't handle massive load?
I've been to a specialist for pain I had in my arms, she asked me about my habbits and told me I had a "mouse arm" and RSI.
She told me to do exercises with regular intervals.
I didn't, and now the pain is gone.
There is yet another question that rises: "What is happening these days? Are peripherals adapting to the human body or vice-versa?"
I read this article that said the youth was evolving towars using the thumb as an index finger (to point), because they use their thumbs more often than they use their index fingers (playing with gamepads and writing SMS messages on their cellphones).
though I can't imagine a toddler picking his nose with his thumbs;)
I once rented a movie called "the last broadcast". It was some cheap "Blair witch" ripoff, but I like low-quality movies (They're a good laugh;)). With the video I rented I got "the making of the NJ devil" for free.
I had a blast watching the movie because it was full of crap, so I decided to watch "the making of".
It became clear that the whole movie was just intended to be a big commercial for a system that directly beams movies from sattelites to theaters (cos that's how the movie was shown for the first time in theaters.. beamed). They also show part of the systems they used and explain it quite a bit.
It's a damn shame I can't remember the exact name of the system, would love to read up on it
some people can't afford a HDTV, a DVD player and an assload of speakers.
Other see more in their PC than just a PC (let's admit it, I do a whole lot more on my PC today than I did 5 years ago, watching a movie decently was pure fiction back then)
Still others don't care about TV's and DVD player and will only invest in their PC(s). (I for one don't intend to buy a TV, ever...)
The PC is becoming a central entertainment device, on which you can communicate with others, listen to music, watch TV or movies, read, code and other fun stuff. So why not enhance the experience?
besides, you're a nerd for something...
I wonder how many/.'ers use a "stand-alone" CD-player these days, I for one don't.
I loved your review, really honestly I loved it! It was the best arrangement of meaningful words I've read in years.
Thank you for giving us the pleasure, nay! PRIVILEGE! of reading this.
And all you katz-haters out there: my mom says you're just jealous...
no seriously for a minute: what the hell is this all about? A lack of decent articles? I'd rather watch my plants grow...
then the user should be smart enough to say "hey wait a minute?! normally I don't see any extensions, hocome I'm seeing one here? and why does it have another icon?"
1 + 1 = 2
malicoous code + stupid user = bad
Until the majority starts using linux and virus creators focus on linux instead of MS.
And don't gimme that crap on how linux is invulnerable to virus/worm attacks... It's just more interesting for virus writers to focus on MS, as it's products have the biggest share on the desktopmarket. "It's a bigger kick";)
In essence it really isn't the bad or buggy OS you run or how good your damn anti-virus software is. It all comes down to the end-user: if someone is stupid enough to open "myNakedWife.bmp.exe" they kinda deserve being bitraped by a damn virus or a worm.
It's always the same kinda ppl who get virii or other malvolent programs onto their computer. So actually I yhink it's a good natural-selection process: survival of the most intelligent".
Note: "Intelligent" is a _very_ loosely used term here, even my 6 year old nephew knows that he shouldn't be opening a file sent by a complete stranger to his Hotmail account.
Okay there were some remarks about storing neurons and stuff on HDs... but beside that, _WHAT_ the hell would need 2TB? I'm still a high-school student so I haven't the faintest idea what goes on in enterprise-size companies.. so if someone could shed light on this I'd appreciate it
I don't think all those AI coders out there are thrilled by the idea that their lifes work is used for games
It's like using a real nice painting to cover an ugly spot on your wall...
it's not intened to be so
I'm not a conservative SOB or anything, but I don't like the thought of AI...
imagine this, an AI so fucking intelligent that could rewrite it's own code and get better and better, duplicate itself...
if that would happen, how long would it take before it says 'hey, I don't want no puny human to order me around...'
or what about civil rights for AI? if it is intelligent, it will have needs, who are we to shut down a running AI?
or in the very long run... imagine marriages... or human-AI marriages...
the kubrick-spielberg movie AI isn't that much of a fiction *tulululu tulululu* (twilight zone tune)

that goes for ADSL too.
I repeat, AFAIK, but I'm pretty sure about this, cos it's the way the gaming industry does it

you DEFINITLY have to give her a good towel.
tsk tsk, haven't you read ANY decent books?
But then again we're talking about a company that sells "premium photo paper" at over 1 euro a piece.
