Where I live, Comcast offers a premium service where it costs about $80 for twice the speed I currently have. The problem is they aren't look at it from my perspective. When I swwitched from dial-up to cable, I got roughly 5x better upload speed and 10x better download speed for twice what I was paying. Now that I am used to what I have, merely doubling it doesn't seem like such a big deal.
Many people switched to cable/dsl because it was a no brainer. They were already paying $20 for an ISP plus $15-25 for an additional phone line. Many people actually saved money moving to cable. Why would I want premium service?
"If, for example, people of a particular religious affiliation do not provide the correct information, certain facilities might not be built that otherwise would be."
And since the converse must clearly be true, where's our fucking Jedi temple, bitch?
I thought they made it clear how they practiced by providing constant distratcions. They learned how to play a six deck show and even how to cut the cards so they could predict a string of low cards or aces. Genius!
Sometimes his "done" temperatures seem really low but that ham will contuinue to cook while it's "resting" on the counter. If you watch the show often enough, this "carry over" concept gets drilled into your head.
The newer shows (season 5+) use a house purchased specifically for the show and to my knowledge, noone lives there. The older house was someone's actual residence but not Alton's.
We all knoew that the OpenGL implementations in Linux are excellent. What is holding developers back from spending a little extra time to release unsupported Linux binaries? It is kinda disappointing. A week or two of coding can produce more game sales. What is the problem here?
What's the problem? If I'm not running windows, why would I buy a game that has "unsupported" binaries for my OS?
Higbee and Davis perform penetration tests, and developed their game box cum attack tool after finding themselves more than once with physical access to a client's facilities
They can't print that!
ME: Yes, my firewall has logged several attempts to break into my system, can you tell me more about this host (xx.xxx.xxx.xxx)?
ISP: Oh, that's just the RIAA looking for illegal copies of MP3s on your hard drive. It's ok, they're allowed.
Where I am allowed to distribute copywrited works for my own profit? I mean, they make alaw that severely limts fair use and then turn around and ask the govt to allow them to violate our privacy?
I mean, if they seperated the gpu we could have motherboards without expansion slots. We'd have sockets for cpu, gpu, controller and slots for ram. Who needs anything else. They could probably implement a raid controller in the space the gpu takes up. I suppose motherboard manufacturers wouldn't like it though if you could replace chipsets since the board itself is basically a shell.
Or does my jaw movement generate the power for this thing. My real question is, speech is what people hear projected from one's mouth. The sounds inside your mouth while speaking sound very different.
I'd imagine talking to someone with one of these things would sound similar to a patient in a dentist chair with that sucky thing in their mouth or Peter Frampton's "vocal" guitar work.
Ok so spending an hour a day on my phone will take more power than someone else using my phone 24 hours a day just because it takes less power for the shorter distance? It better take 24x less power, otherwise my phone will be off all the time. I think other users would follow suit and well, there goes the network.
How do you figure that Glide is what doomed 3dfx? 3dfx supported everything that nvidia supported PLUS glide. The only technical trouble they had was getting their windows 2000 drivers out the door. What doomed them was nVidia's rapid rollout cycle. They just couldn't keep up.
Will I have more fun playing this game than I did and still do playing Starcraft or is it just prettier. I think Blizzard games are great but I think they're about due for a flop (not in sales, just in longevity). It's clear that this game will sell.
Will ALL data flowing between my PC and the 'net be part of my bandwidth usage? This is an "always on" service so say when code red 2 comes out, will I get charged for all the http requests coming in to my modem?
How can this be handled fairly?
The beauty of the xbox is that is can output to a HDTV in 1080i. Now, when I whip out that beautiful LoTR DivX DVD rip, I can watch it in high resolution on my tv rather than having to make a vcd out of it to wach with my dvd player.
I _will_ be modding my xbox for this, even if the damned chip cost $150 and hade 85 solder points. Many people spend tons of cash to get a HTPC (home theater pc) connected to their tvs and amps. The xbox may become the killer app for this once people can get it to talk to a file server.
I think he meant monopolies as in the sense of a customer having only one company to choose from for any given type of service. Ala- DSL (Verizon) Cable (Comcast) etc...

Thank you!
They'll just make bigger modchips with bigger nails in them! Moohohaha haha haaha

yes, just another device that flashes 12:00 all the time.
Now I gotta fly first class to get a stinking window seat? Or are the "bottom" windows in steerage-class?
I was expecting to see a map like this. Except that the parts that aren't labeled in that pic would be labeled from SPAM.
