And I've seen the opposite of what you are stating in a couple areas. You are right that the reliability levels are different, but the phone system started off with problems (just like VOIP will have problems) and you consider plain phones to be reliable, when infact nothing more that a chewing squirrel can screw your day up. Thing you missed is that anyone can spout off many What if..? scenerios. What if a resistor goes bad? What if you spill water on your phone? What if *insert your favorite*?
How does that 'what if..?' justify your argument? Prove your argument.
'what if your DSL or cable modem goes out? '
Well, what if you phone line is severed by a fallen tree?? What if *insert your next idea*???.
Just because you regular land line has been there forever doesn't mean it won't fail - OR - are you suggesting that phone companies are not subject to service failures?
I've watched TV and surfed the net (same time)on my machine for years thanks to an ATI AIW card. IPTV gives the little guy a shot at becoming a "TV" broadcaster and the End user the ablility to choose other "networks" or "stations" outside of the typical packages you receive from cable/satelite companies.
Problem: It is nothing more the streaming media, which we've had for a while now. So someone codes an application (a "TV" tuner so to speak) and now we have IPTV?
I thought the whole goal was to buy the system with a slower CPU (best power/money ratio) but main board that could handle a much faster speed. Sometime later, get the faster CPU for cheap when you need to upgrade.
Anyhow, as in the aforementioned, I upgraded a system for my son out of necessity. His 300mhz AMD wasn't cutting the mustard with Q3 and the like, so I purchase a Athlon XP 1600 and board and ect.... but honestly , how fast do you really need to go??
just my 2 cents...
.013 cubic feet, 5280 / 1000 = 5.280 ft * 12 in/ft = 64 inch (approximate, I hate doing decimal math in my head) = 1/1000 mile. You got me on the water weight.
Now your question.. How many (kilo)meters in 1 degree of change of longitude?

Ever replaced your NIC card?
I read this article a couple months ago....
I hope it's your turn then
Nice, but since I don't look to type, this not a requirement for myself. Does look cool though.
I'll stay with my dated split keyboard.

It's just a matter of time till someone mods their SACD player.

Do you think he noticed I was sarcastic about not knowing that 23 ounces weighs 23 ounces??
Ditto.... i'm with you..
