I suggested that consumers pay 1 cent per commercial skipped (which is about the same as what advertisers pay). That would be equivalent to $10/thousand commercials skipped. I think that's reasonable.
So they want me to pay $50+ a month for service that blows, and then they want me to pay them for the ability to not be annoyed by those damn commercials? That's like spammers saying that we should pay them $0.01 for every message that they could have sent us and don't. That's completely screwed up.
I payed for the service and the ability to recieve these signals. I'm going to do whatever the hell I want to with them once I get them, including skipping commercials. And if they don't like it, then I'll just go out and buy a dish and send them their box back after I let my wonderful electromagnet have some fun with the circutry.
This looks to be great for school. I'm currently attending UNLV and on any given day I'm probably lugging around something like 40-50 pounds of books and notebooks. Imagine being able to have all of your class notes in one little laptop, and then if they put the books on it too, like through Adobe's e-book reader or something, that'd be great. I'd love to do that instead of carrying around 1 and sometimes 2 bags.
Not only that, but you can just email your notes to your friends if they were um... hungover^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hsick. I'd love this. I'm going to wait until at least the second generation of these devices, but I can tell you now that the next pc that I buy will be a tablet (most likely one styled after Toshiba's, I still want to be able to have a keyboard for the essentials, like Q3 or Unreal).
almost all of the tech companies here in Vegas are cutting back, adn even if you can get a job, you're typically paid much less than if you were to get one anywhere else.
We have over 1.5 million in just the Las Vegas valley alone. Add to this the fact that (southern) Nevada is quickly becoming fairly cosmopolitan, have fun. Maybe you'd have some luck up north, but I doubt it. Plus there's easily over $2mil spent down here this year for all of the adds for congress, state senate, and the such.
They obviously haven't listened to the corporate mantra about the evilness of the GPL, they have a link to &cond under the freeware foundries section. Oah yeah, &cond distributes their fonts under the GPL.
Go to the local Sports Authority (or whatever sporting goods store is near you), and buy an airhorn. Then, whenever she needs something, she just moves her hand over and hits the button. Not only will her husband wake up, but everyone else in the surrounding houses as well.
There's one small problem though, Doom is tied into the hardware interrupts for the timing, so that 1000 fps will be insanely fast. (Just for kicks one of my friends installed DOS on a 1.4 ghz machine and tried to play Doom. The monsters were nothing more than a blur.)
If I'm not mistaken, doesn't that mean that Gates was lying for pretty much the past three days, and isn't that contempt of court? That would be great another picture to go alongside his other one.
Thankfully, my Linux box would be able to take advantage of the hyperthreading. Unfortunatelly, for the masses who still use Win95/98/ME, they don't take advantage of multiple processors (DOS based, go fig.), and I know that for WinNT based systems, you need a license for each processor. That has gotta hurt the wallet something fierce. Thank you, GNU.
If I remember correctly, ethanol is already used in Brazil and India, while I don't think that India uses it for cars, I remember seeing a discovery channel show where they spoke of them using it for powering generators and such.
I would wait until the next version of the kernel came out unless you're planning on using raw file devices. Linux kernel 2.2 and below have a 2 GB filesize limit which will be removed in kernel 2.4.
Wouldn't there be some legal issues with this system? Because it looks at every message going over the network, wouldn't that be considered an invasion of privacy on the people that there isn't a wiretap order on? Could any of you clear this up for me?

I do the same thing with all of those annoying magazine inserts, I just send them back unfilled. I wonder if that'll be their next campaign.

Uninstall MSIE and install Netscape. Problem Solved.
It's called Java. It'll probably do just about anything you need for an education site, plus it's compatible with more systems.

--yeah, sort of like how in my transition from ext2 to reiserfs i really had to recompile everything. (sarcasm)
a corporate version based on the company's newer, built-from-scratch Windows NT kernel.
--can we say a shell over the BSD kernel?
