As a gen-x'r, I prefer to refer to everything as xanything. It really makes my life easier too, as a slacker (I slack therefore I am) you know that I need this. Instead of doing it the old way and calling it FancyNameForSomethingSimple, we just use xsfw. "Honey, where's the xbox?" "I dunno, I think it's in the xcarton in the xcar."
The current forms implementation just sucks.....I'll take xanything new they're willing to try out. Nothing's ever going to replace [java/ecma]script, but if xfroms can cut down on the routine scripting like validation, or maybe just offer some fancy new features (the 'submit as XML' sounds pretty cool!), I'm still xdown.
I'm happy to say that I recently started working for a Grandecom.com which is a bundled services provider (tele/catv/inet).
Every one of our employees has the option to receive the services we provide free (provided you live in a serviceable area of course). I get 3mb/s cable inet, telephone w/caller ID and all kinds of other features, and digital catv + full premiums (about 30 different HBO/Showtime/Cinemax channgels)! This package would probably run over $130. And that's not the only benefits, so they aren't just using it as hiring bait.
And I don't use any of it for work. Well, maybe a little, but only under my own free will. I'm not required nor expected to use the services for work-related functions. It is a very generous perk from a company that is showing that you can provide for your employees and keep outta the red at the same time.
Grande up!
Sorry, the actual quote is: "Its a 100MB connection and there will be only one IP address. We will have to use NAT. Fiber optic is very cheap here in Tokyo and it costs just 55$ per month."
From another favorite tech-site of mine, experts-exchange.com:

At those rates, that's roughly over 50 times the value of what I'm getting with my roadrunner connection, which I think is somewhat economical, and I don't even want to compare the $55:100mb/s to a US T1 that goes for $600+:1.5 mb/s. Local loops are now cheaper for us, but that will probably only reduce the price for a T1 marginally.
The greed never ends. I thought capitalism was supposed to provide for better prices all-around? Gee, could it be the fault of the F*#@&!@$ FCC?
"Sure enough, it only took a few hours before there were larger than life sexual acts being projected on the wall."
See, I think that's pretty cool, and I'd be mad that I didn't think of that first.
It might be a better recommendation to say that you should just make sure you and your LAN party attendees are all on the same page. Try to at least establish some fundamental codes of conduct and behavior; age will have the most to do with this.
If so, I bet it's related to that ol' big-bang theory, and the sky-is-falling theory. We might even be able to time travel by the time we get this "standard" measurementmeasured.
Of course this whole concept has my head reeling (and possibly getting lighter). As a genX'r, I would think that by the 21st century we(the royal we) could've solved this so-called problem by now. The Y2K bug is something that can be realized, since it was due to the exponential advancement of technology. However, this is silly and ludicrous!
And why can't kilograms be defined by moles (the molecule-counting type)?
You guys are behind the times, esp. Mr. Anon up there....
Hastings has stopped carrying VHS tapes, and I believe Blockbuster is following suit.
Personally I haven't BOUGHT or RENTED a VHS tape in over 5 years, I haven't owned a VHS player in 2 years, and it's been close to a year since I even watched a VHS tape.
So, in conclusion, BGP *can* be replaced (not saying that's the solution though!!).

Did you think of this yourself? Let's get this man a Nobel prize!
