I hope problems like this, prompt the public to pressure the FCC. Between them and the Patent office, we should be screaming to our politicians that lack of forsight in these departments is going to slow progress. The government needs to hire some intelligent people for these departments, and stuff like this won't happen quite so frequently.
I just helped my folk find a new TV. They have digital cable, and a DVD player, and they wanted something around 32-36 inches that looked good. I hooked my dad up with a Sony Wega, WITHOUT HDTV. It was $1500 less, and he still have a HUGE improvement in picture quality over his old TV. I don't think most families will justify spending over $2k for an HDTV. Wait until the majority of channels are broadcasting for a year or two, and the prices will be far more reasonable.
Are they really going to jump all over this? China is one of largest offenders of piracy. Why would they care whether an OS is "free"? I can't see the whole nation switching to this, even though I love linux...
Nice! I just ordered some more stuff for myself. I had to get the Linux and BSD beer glasses. There's just nothing like drinking a nice Harpoon from a cool glass.
I guess I'll be making a phone call tonight! If they offered static IP's or a block of address space, they would be even better. Has anyone had any luck doing this?
Yes, he's hoping to cut production costs for the third episode. He's thinking that we can just use the sun, instead of those tiny litle models, as Chubacca always tends to crush the model before they finish the scenes...
Sorry sir, we had a BSOD on the Laser Station, and it just zapped an extra 10 miles stretch for the Grand Canyon...
What OS would this run on? I hope NOT anything M$. I can already see it on the news. "Giant laser from the moon zapps 1,100 people. Could it happen in the Bay State, tonight at 11".
How would attempt to keep Microsoft from continuing it's monpolistic practices? The company has a long history of unethical business practices. What do you think you could do to change this? How long do you think it will take to change an untamed beast into a useful competetive company? What makes you believe that this is a possible task?
Sorry, but that's not why alot of fiber is unlit... Alot if it is not lit because they don't need more bandwidth. Until the last mile issues are resolved it's just not needed. Also, alot of the CLEC's (like me old one) went out of business. So, we had paid to have fiber run all over the place by NEON (NorthEast Optical Network) and now they no longer use it...

Happy Birthday, to me! 22 doesn't seem as exciting as last year. Well, from what I remember of last year anyway...
I'm bummed that the shuttle got such a lousy review. For $80 you can't knock that board. It's fast, and stable. I love mine, and so do many other people out there... Just take a look at the anandtech forums.
You have a point, but if they're passing an encrypted message allong, then it's pointless. The feds still haven't cracked Mitnicks hard drive... I can see it now, a new Dnet project to crack terrorist encryption...
This won't prevent satellite internet access, and I though that Bin Laden had access to this? Also, some of the international lines are up, so they could get through.
OK, I buy my parts directly from a wharehouse that has the SAME exact parts. (Often they are in Dell packaging.) I was introduced to this place by a friend. He works full time, selling parts he purchases there on Ebay, and to local computer stores. So, there it's backed up.
BTW - My website does suck. For that I will appologize.
Is that why those people stand on their heads over there? You see all of these Hindu guys doing handstands for days and the like... I knew there was I reason I can't do a handstand. Damn that unfair gravity!
Uh, yeah. I install Dells, Compaq, HP's, IBM's, and a few other servers, constatnly for work. If you know where to buy your parts, than you can do it form MUCH cheaper...
Well, nice to hear... The thing is, I'm won't by my linux box from dell, I'm going to build it myself... Sorry, dell, I'm glad their semi cool with Linux now, and because of that I'll point customers to them, but I can build my own machine for 1/4 - 1/3 the price...
Having worked with NSI when they were a monoply, I can tell you it's all about calling them, and harassing them. After a while they get VERY sick of your calls, and the ignoring stops.:)
FedEx has always been the best for me. Most of the vendors I've dealt with online (pricewatch and newegg) ship FedEx. I just got a new motherboard this morning from CA. I placed the order yesterday. FedEx picked up the package at 3 PST, and had it to my house at 9:45 EST the next morning. It didn't cost me an arm and a leg either. You just can't beat that!

Does anyone know how many people are involved in coding opera?

Who cares about paper... Shouldn't they be burning their backup tapes?

There my 2 cents...

I got most of my thinkgeek wishlist. The eclipse light is awesome. I also love my Internet 2001 map. Anyone else get alot off stuff from thinkgeek?

They block port 80 from the outside world. Other than that, I, like you, am happy with their service.

I would never want to OC a P4. If I fry it, it's more exepensive to replace. An AMD is cheap, it's easy to OC, and it's fast as hell.

I don't know, but I'm getting dizzy just thinkin about it.
