I am a professional satellite installer. I work for a small independent company in Washington state. We install both Dish and DTV. We looked at Zoom to see if we wanted to install it as well. It is true that all of there channels were broadcast in 1080i or 720p but most of these channels source material was not HD. Anyone who has ESPN in HD knows what I mean, just about the only time you actually get HD is Sports Center. Also there only satellite being way on the east cost made it next to impossible to get it on the west coast, line of sight was only about 8 degrees off horizon. I have Dish myself but I cant wait for DTVs mpeg4 system to come online.
About 20-25 years ago I remember seeing a demonstration of a full size car moving slowly around a circle. The man giving the demonstration said the power source was about the size of a 9V battery. He also claimed it would run forever and that the technology could be scaled up to move full size cars at highway speeds. I never saw any follow up on it but have always wondered what happened to him and his invention.
There must be some/.er out there that saw the same thing, I know I didn't dream it.
WHO SAID YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT??? QUIT YOUR BITCHIN AND CHANGE THE CHANNEL. I mean, you are slashdotters, what are the odds you'd be home on a Friday night anyway?
Most of the comments here say that the 64 bit versions of Windows or Linux (on a 64 bit machines) runs about as fast as the 32 bit versions (on 32 bit machines or Athlon 64). I would think we would see a BIG jump in performance.
Homer: "So there's a commet. Big deal. It'll burn up in our atmosphere and whatever's left will be no bigger than a Chihuahua's head."
Bart: "Wow, dad. Maybe you're right."
Homer: "Of course I'm right. If I'm not may we all be horribly crushed from above somehow."

Of course there all around us, haven't you seen "Men in Black"?

I think Harry Potter is fairly popular. I have never visited this site before but it looks like H.P. would fit right in.
