Prices on a full Gig-E commit currently work out at around 20c-50c / GB i.e. ~300 3 minute MP3s or 1 MPEG4 movie, still far cheaper than buying CDs and DVDs, plus if you know anything about the history of the Net you'll know that metering has always been a barrier to take up of use, unmetered access has always attracted more customers, so unless your access provider wants to commit suicide or is monopoly you should have little to worry about.

It is a story, one about how even those that purport to know something really know nothing. For example there was a Sigourny Weaver movie made on Digital Video for less than $150K, and alot of us/.ers have seen the Platrix and South Powers and lots of other great short animation on the net, lets look at the simple economics, movie making equipment is cheaper than ever, mainly due to DV and computer animation / editing, you can't sneeze in LA without hitting a wannabe actor/actress parking cars or waiting tables, not to mention the hordes of stage acting talent in every major city on the planet, sets can be digitally created, who knows maybe one day all films will be shot on blue screens and the set added digitally later. What is left for lavish expenses? Costumes? Cringelys article is a tour de force of the type of myopic thinking that all these "pundits" engage in, and if he's really good in ten years he'll claim my writing as his own and be praised as a visionary./cynical bastard
Indeed the follow-through that I missed out, though was hoping was implied that it justifies anyone attacking anyone, anytime such as the attacks of 9/11, as I see it there are two possible positions that can be taken a) we'll attack and kill anyone we feel like based on our own personal prejudices, financial wants etc (the position of the US political establishment, Saddam Hussien, Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler and other tyrrants) or b) only attack to defend ourselves (the position of most "civilised" nations), and there is the question of equality, e.g. if the US wishes to hold Saddam liable for the use of chemical weapons in the Iran-Iraq war,or to kill his own population in Halabja and elsewhere then the same standard must be applied to those who knowingly supplied the material and technology to carry out those horrific deeds, even if some of them put Dubya in office, anything else would brand the US at best a nation of hypocrits and at worst the land of the "civilised psychopath" as Norman Mailer puts it so eliquently.
Why bother seeing it? You're living it havent you noticed Dubya's war on Iraq is about what Iraq might do, but then we've been here so many times before, for example the overthrow of Irans government in 1953 by the CIA because they "might" have nationalised the oil fields, havent you noticed how might and maybe and perhaps are used by politicians, especially American ones, to justify the use of lethal force to take what isnt theirs?
I was assuming that the covenant would specify that all references to the library in any literature, which would include the URL use the name Flesh, that would be standard in that type of contract though I'm not privy to the terms of this one.
It would be interesting to find out if changing the name breaks the covenant that established the library, perhaps Mr Fleshs decendents might have a case for retreiving the money there forefather donated?
Surely that should be hypercubist? Or doesnt anyone remember Danny Hillis and The Connection Machine? Personally I'm still waiting for Deconstructionism to take hold of my old 486...

Bombmaking training with assistance of IRA experts payed for by Irish Americans?
But as the IRA are not on the list of bad terrorists it would be politically incorrect I suppose, might even lose some votes... oops I mean Karma from all the Irish Americans out there
Unlike the majority inhabitants of the United States of America, who slaughtered the native population... and if you recall history Ireland was partitioned in a settlement that both parties to the conflict agreed to, whereas Americans put the native population on "Reservations" AKA Ghettos after violently oppressing them. Please check history and adjust your views accordingly.
Al Q and Bin Laden are more legitimate than the IRA, if you recall from history AlQ/UBL are fighting for Palestine, a land taken from its people without their agreement, the IRA are fighting a war that was settled with the partition of Ireland agreed by both parties to the conflict, if you think it is more legitimate for someone to go back on an agreement than it is for people to fight for what was stolen from them then you must be a complete psychopath.
so when do the US troops arrive to wipe out the IRA then
A freind sent a question to the CIA as they have many web pages on "The War on Terrorism" when they would stop the funding of the IRA by Americans, he is still waiting for a reply 9 months later I guess the CIA need that long to look-up the word "hypocracy" in the dictionary.
Making it a fully backend focused is one possible stategy, others might be to find complementary products to bundle with, write a book and include a limited version of the software that can be upgraded to a full version for a discount, bundle with training at a discount etc. For an excellent start with brainstorming marketing ideas get hold of all of Jay Abrahams marketing material, especially the Protege course , and get Dan Kennedys Magnetic Marketing,if you immerse yourself in it I'm sure you will find the right strategy for your company.
But... and it's a big BUT everyone knew the claim was FRAUDULENT yet they are not being charged with attempted fraud, criminals should be punished for their crimes,yet BT walks away with their wallet just a little lighter, this is not justice.
Well said! The question of what you want is where it all starts, it seems from the post that it's "Computer something-or-other" which is so ill defined as to be useless. As far as starting a consultancy, instead of just having to make a sale at the job interview you have to make constant sales, and right now with your brief post I'd say that might be hard for you,you'd need to find someone who could sell your services unless you plan to take a crash course in sales. All I can recommend is find a job so you're set for living expenses, and then look around and see if other opportunities arise unless of course you have an idea that will create the next Netscape, if so then stock up on Mountain Dew and start coding...
The easier answer would just be to have a small Bluetooth enabled Microdrive or solidstate memory that you keep in your pocket, or on your belt, all data is saved to that, so even if someone holds you up for the laptop they dont gat your data, infact you could even have a DataBelt i.e. moneybelt + the Bluetooth drive.

Well why not put together a business plan for Wi-Fi in your area then?

Maybe, I'd suggest reading -
The Lucifer Principle: A Scientific Expedition into the Forces of History
Sorry it's an Amazon *spit* link, but it's an interesting book anyway.
Shouldnt that read -
