I hope they don't mean they have caught up by simply saying, "We have added more free space too!!!"
I still use Yahoo for all of my spam and I love it for that. It hasn't changed much over what it used to be. Maybe I'm wrong here, but I still accidently use shortcuts in Yahoo... that were intended for Gmail.
There are more things I want to see out of Gmail, but I'm just not sure where the "caught up" part comes into play.
Making sure AOL mail is working is going to be a little difficult. (Unless the company happens to be AOL itself)
The better strategy would be to migrate this user to something you can control and a set of services you can ensure will be running.
Basically, they just have to make sure his internet connection is working.
Now, from a business perspective, it would rather funny to see email of the company president to come from AOL. Even our sales people would laugh at that one and for different reasons then the tech people would.
Bottom line, El President @ aol.com does not command much respect at all.
If it only supports DirectX at the kernel then hardware accelleration at the card for DX would still work right? So they take out all the bits they can't control and optimize for the ones they can.
That is probably why OpenGL is getting fubared. (If I recall correctly, it gets turned into DX calls)
I'm just guessing here, but as people have stated it would be very "interesting" to see everything in user space.
That is how I see this working if it is not crack in the proverbial pipe.
You seem to be working for the old regiment which was replaced days ago! We no longer report to the reeducation center. Rather a series of targeted ads engineered for our neurological make up are cleverly placed around us. It's simply a matter of passivly updating our thought processes. It's quite refreshing.
Please watch some television, internet ads or even listen to the radio (requires longer exposure). Don't worry, we already have your slashdot ID which was tied into your identity profile ages ago.
Have you tried dealing with something illegal that is outside the country. It doesn't matter what end of the stick you are on. It's a pain in the ass to deal with... end of story.
So me, I don't deal with anything outside the US and I'm a little suspicious of that island resort for new criminals called Hawaii. (I thought I would be at least a little bit comical)
There are at least 3 laptops on ebay being sold from "Ireland" from a guy who clearly doesn't speak english. Too bad the only accepted pay is wire transfers or money orders.
Thankfully, I haven't seen a bid on one of these items yet, but comon it is so obvious.
The pricewatch addition was fairly recent, within the last few years really. A stronger merchant rating system would be nice, but that is fairly difficult when you can't really verify who bought and who didn't.
I used to shop with ZZZ, but often newegg was beating most of all their prices. (even with the increased shipping cost over newegg)
That said, I primarily shop with newegg now. Despite the claims of filtering reviews it would seem they really do not censor that badly. In several reviews I found "Do not buy this product and reason XXX which could sometimes be a real problem not solvable by RMA." Sometimes, I have even found very technical recommendations for other products. To their discredit some just seem too unbelievable to be real five stars. Anyhow, I just look at the cons in the end and popularity. It can be tiresome to sift through reviews and documentation, but the results tend to speak for themselves.
Now, the final nail in the coffin, support and RMA. I have had stores treat me like a villian, cheat me if I didnt have every piece of documentation or come up with goofy schemes to use their warranty service. (no we can't look up your warranty information, we need your warranty card info because it was sold through a third party. So it's ok if I find someone elses? )
Anyhow, the point is pretty much how to be a success story and why certain things become outdated. Make the competitor obsolete.
Now, completely on topic, why on earth pricegrabber actually went for kaboodles of money. It's horrible and it's usually a bunch of links to eBay. I hate getting google-sucked into that hole. (sorry, you would be a bit angry after doing price comparisons all day and getting google-blaster into that hole)
Chimps are the control group and humans are the variable.
Corporations and goverment are breeding a less thoughtful and more obediant task oriented worker.
While we used to be like monkeys ourselves, that day has long since past with genetic manipulation and a careful regiment of treatments through our water supply.
Cross every T, dot every I, and be a happy consumer!

I don't know if I particularly agree with him. I'm a huge fan of Gnome myself. (Though KDE has been a little more appealing lately)
I get what he is saying. I liked Nautilus and I there were way more configuration options in it in the past. So, I had to dig around and find the settings to enable it and then I had to dig around some more so I could completely theme it.
Just lots of things like that.
I often just wish Gnome had an "Advanced" button and would easily let me access some of the features i want.
This is my same arguement with Firefox... I know there has to be more configurability there, but geez I hate editing an xml file just to get certain things registered correctly or settings changed.
Anyhow, I still use firefox and gnome everyday, but I get the point.
The private flag simply states a file should not be included in a decentralized fashion... ie... clients talk amongst each other.
What's the big deal? Well, if you are trying to keep track of up/down ratios it's a bit difficult when the clients share amongst themselves outside your tracker.
There were some other issues raised earlier on, but I don't know if they were real problems or just imagined at the time.
None the less, I thought Azureus could still over ride the private flag... but maybe I'm wrong.
As much as I hate to admit it, I've pretty much reached the same conclusion as well.
Now, if I want to find prices, froogle is a fairly good tool, but just try to find information on your cell phone and you'll be swamped with junk.
At some point, things will hit a stopping point and they will fix this problem and then the page rank spammers will have to find another way to break it.
I'm sure there are ignorant people who will take that notion to heart. The concept is designed to let people think they might come out ahead, but the truth is it won't be that way for anyone.
Crap is crap and even if it were reduced.... if it wasn't selling for 99 cents it probably won't sell for 25 either.
We gave you all these BeeGee tunes for 25 cents and yet you complain your costs too much at 2.50? You are a bunch of vampires!
Sadly, I've seen every one of these and probably most of every episode...
Loved E2, watched every episode... not sure why.
I enjoyed Briscoe County Junior, but I think I missed a few episodes because I was left with some confusion in the end. Of course, it's difficult not to enjoy works by Bruce.
Time Trax was just bad acting really. For a future guy, he really didn't use much technology at all. That really did annoy the piss out of me.
I think I caught about every episode of Seaquest DSV and their newish season with a different title.
Sliders, well everyone already knows the sliders story.
Space Above and Beyond... it was alright... not quite as good as Firefly.
I had a bad flash on a dlink model once or rather it was a bad revision of their code.
So it foobared my unit and I emailed them and explained what was going on. They were able to reproduce the problem and pulled the firmware off their site.
Now, I thought my unit was toast, but they actually gave me a quick instruction lesson on getting to a stripped down firmware intended for flashing. Nifty huh.
I was running with AVG for a bit, but it's ability to repair infected files fell considerably short when compared to Norton. AVG was pretty much like taking a step back technology wise, but at least it was light weight.
I started picking through several freely available AV products not too long ago and came across aVast.
It has an excellent feature set and definately is on par with the big hitters in the industry. HTTP, POP, Imap, NNTP, ICQ, Outlook and Yahoo support. I think I missed some. It also features advanced file recovery.
Anyhow, that sounds like an ad, but I was trying to spit out the feature set as quickly as possible. I missed more then a few things, but I'm not trying to write a review.
My problem lately with the norton products is bloat and simply running dog ass slow even on newer computers. So, try aVast for a day (free for personal use) and see how you like it. (Sorry AVG, I can no longer pimp you, except where resources are very limited)
Slashdot Mirror
No, the last beta I tried was flash based...
It was bad...
Not good bad, just bad...
So beat it... or it didn't really beat it at the time.
"I'm such an idiot, I'm always screwing up some mundane detail like that."
Perfect quote... though maybe not exact.
I hope they don't mean they have caught up by simply saying, "We have added more free space too!!!"

I've RMA'd about 5 drives this year. (We have a lot of disks)
I usually look at the errors and write up a description of the problem.
WD has never said, "You no run our diagnostic program! Bad Hippy!"
I would be annoyed if I had to do something like that, but then again on advanced RMA process they will charge you if they find no problems.
It's pretty simple...

Standing whirl attack was the best...
Nothing can touch you... unless it fell on your head.

Yes...

It's like wikipedia, but for history.
Obviously, if there is something wrong with history we can fix it!

I have to say I'm quite happy with dd-wrt.
I just installed it about 20 minutes ago.
The best feature for me? Set my router to be a wireless client. I now have 4 ethernet ports wired. Can you say sweet?
The smb mount option is nifty too, but I can't think of much to use it for at the moment.
Otherwise, too damned handy for a drop in replacement.
Sadly, I've seen every one of these and probably most of every episode...

So a bad flash may not truly kill your router.
They already sell some cube systems like this.
You unfortunately have to boot to DVD player mode, but its already there if the consumer wants it.
Well you can spice it up with this...
