  1. Re:Location, Location, Location on Bell Canada Turns Payphones into Public Hotspots · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yea they are all "VIP" lounges, wich already have free internet acess and free computers to use. sooo its not THAT big of a deal.

    however i used to comute between TO and Ottawa on a weekley basis, and found my self killing a few mins ie:30-45 in the lounge all the time.

    i cant see a better addition to the free drinks, free computers, free mag's, and NOW FREE WI-FI.

    its not the greatest test area, but u can be sure its not going to get haxored by some leet script kiddy.

    well with the p800 you can use sony memory sticks 128megs and then send with POP3

  7. P800 on The Nokia 7650 Cell Phone w/ Integrated Camera · · Score: 4, Interesting

    look, this is the way all phones are going to be, due to MMS (multi media messaging) which allows you to send messages a "slide show" format, with pictures and music and text. shipping a MMS phone without a camera is just stupid, its like a car with no tires.

    this is a GSM 900/1800 phone so it will only work in europe, and Nokia is VERY slow to make their GSM products use the 1900 band with NA uses.

    the better alternative is the Sony Ericsson P800 wich is a world phone, and a camera and uses a newer version of the Symbian OS. Includes BlueTooth, and dang(Sony Memory Stick "Duo")

    anywho, 7650=garbage P800=great

  8. Re:75 Million on Salon in Dire Straits · · Score: 1

    no doubt. i live in ottawa and when zenastra (sp) started out (its a photonics company by the way) the firs tthing they did was build a new office, and buy a tour bus. WTF is that, the wacky spending is just stupid. as someone else posted why in the world does an online mag need downtown SF floor space? the #1 thing i would have done is move it to virtual, it would have never become a bricks thing (perhaps that would cramp style and creativity (team synergies)) but thats just my dumb 2 cents

  9. 75 Million on Salon in Dire Straits · · Score: 1

    my gawd, ho on earth do you rack up 75 mill of debt with a simple web news page. i think that north america (eurpe less o, perhaps due to no european coverae on tv) is in a general downward spiral for executives and management. i dont see how a manager orf CFO (besides that of worldcom or enron)can let 75 mill build up and no do anything. its just basic principal that debt is (more or less bad) and yet its more the case then the exception. business culture has to wake up and smell the BLACK, get back to some fundemental money making ideas and strats. i would have assumed that after the internet fall out of 2000/99 more companies would be under the eye of investors looks for strong BASIC profits. but we apear to still be wondering around with our eyes shut. i know this is not the largest debt by far but still for a (relative) small on line new mag, lets be serious. you cut costs, you fire people, even change format, or sell your tech that drives the site, or at least go seek a mindless venture cap to re-fund yourself. it all makes me SICK i say, SICK

  11. p2p or distributed slashdot?? on Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    im not sure if someone wrote this already, but would there be a way to make slashdot more like a p2p net?ie thousands of mirror websites/servers, and each of us connects to one, gets updated, then people can connect to us. it makes sense in my head, it would solve the bandwidth problems, and be a cool project at the same time.

  12. Digital? on Lack of Digital Screens for Attack of the Clones · · Score: 3, Insightful

    i dont understand what this digital screen is, but when it comes down to it unless its a full lcd there will always been a dac somewhere, i mean let face it in the theater, the biggest problem is the loss of quality whehn the light hits the air, full of dust, and popcorn. perhaps im wrong, any ideas?
