  1. Re:Testing in Buffalo, NY on Speakeasy Will Test IEEE 802.16 In Downtown Seattle · · Score: 1

    I happen to know a company that is looking into testing Buffalo. Don't know when but it would be cool to be snowed in and blazing online. It would also be cool to get Adelphia the hell out of here!

  2. Exchange on What OSS Programs are Still Needed? · · Score: 1

    Most of my corporate clients would switch today if there were a Exchange server. I would argue that Thunderbird and "Mozilla Post office" would be the lethal combo that could do the trick.

  3. Science Update on Physicists Finally Solve the Falling-Paper Problem · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Still no cure for Cancer or AIDS but improvements in the understanding of paper will allow for better paper airplanes. Does anyone else feel this is a complete waste of resources?

  4. Re:Bono's a moron on U2 iPod: Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Black · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Actually I think the new album is their fourteenth.

  5. Solution on Broadband Envy: Fixing American Broadband · · Score: 1

    There are several "logistical" problems to this which all stem from our countries backwards way of approaching anything. "How will it be profitable, and if its not on paper then why do it?"

    We are loosing jobs to oversees companies and we can't rollout new services he because our infrastructure is horrible. Politicians, people on forums like this one always tell you what's wrong or give some broad notion of how to make things better. They never give how they would solve the problem.

    Example: "Reduce the cost of oil per barrel to stabilize the cost of gas." Well if anyone would lookup info (Detnews.com) on the matter instead of trusting any other media outlets they would find that the cost of a barrel of oil really doesn't matter as much as the number of refineries and the number of different gases we use. Build new refineries and/or reduce the number of gases the U.S. needs and you will see gas prices around 10 cents a gallon. You will never here this from out candidates because they don't really give a damn.

    Anyway, here is one solution I think might work to benefit everyone.

    Commission a new public works project to rollout fiber and new power lines simultaneously. More jobs, if we found $70 billion laying around to rebuild someone else's country we should be able to do the same for ourselves.

    This would kill two birds with one stone and allow any premises with power, access to a fiber speed connection. Service providers could focus on their services and the lines and infrastructure would be the ownership of the "people."

    The mere grandiosity of this is mind-boggling but its time this country gets back on track and does something big for itself. That's just my two cents.

    "He called the shit poop"

  7. The next Flash on SVG And The Free Desktop(s) · · Score: 1

    Are there any project currently in development to make an OSS version of Flash using SVG? Would anyone like to start one?

  8. 17" has been done before... on Acer Plans A 16 lb. Notebook · · Score: 1

    I've been using Sager notebooks for a while now, they have a nice 17" with better specs and its only 9lbs. Is the computer industry going the way of the American waist line?

  9. Blizzard's other lawsuit on EFF Continues Fight On Blizzard Vs. Bnetd Case · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I happen to run across another lawsuit that is about to break. It appears that Blizzard Entertainment is in a trademark dispute with a New York company called Blizzard Records. Here is the only link I've found on it in the public sector. Based on what I've heard this could really hurt Blizzard Entertainment.
