    Remember, if you see a trailer with any of the following, it's fake. Trust me...sigh.

    *The title: "ep2_large"
    *Christopher Walken
    *A blonde girl with a lightsaber
    *Dozens of Braveheart actors carrying photoshopped lightsabers.
    *Merv Griffin

    IE6 does.

    Im sure Mozilla does or will...netscape 6.x is too shitty for me to bother looking for it.

  5. Re:How to avoid this crap: on MSN Forces Outlook POP · · Score: 1

    I said:

    "Personally, I am more concerned with why I can't send mail to anyone using AOL/Walmarts ISP: wmconnect.com . "

    let me clarify this sentence; When I send mail, using MSN SMTP servers, I get the following:

    ----

    Reporting-MTA: dns;cpimssmtpd03.email.msn.com

    Received-From-MTA: dns;smlaptop

    Arrival-Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2001 17:38:25 -0700

    Final-Recipient: rfc822;user@wmconnect.com

    Action: failed

    Status: 4.4.7

    Final-Recipient: rfc822;user@wmconnect.com

    Action: failed

    Status: 4.4.7

    ---

    Now, when I use sendmail it works fine; messages get through. When I use my work smtp, it also works fine. ONLY MSN blocks it. Conspiracy? I think so...

  6. How to avoid this crap: on MSN Forces Outlook POP · · Score: 5, Informative

    Simple Solution:

    For the SMTP server, use:
    "macsmtp.email.msn.com"
    and your normal user/pass .

    They don't have it working right for Mac clients; tada.

    I've been using this for about 2 months now on my Windows and Linux machines and it works great.

  7. Re:DSL for everyone... on Broadband Is Dead (Or At Least Very Ill) · · Score: 1

    I guess i should clarify that the DSL was rolled out 10 months ago...ETC takes a loss on the modems (efficient speedstreams we sell at $99) and charges the customer only $49.95 per month for 768/384 and $69.99 for 1.5/384 w/ a static IP.

    The profit will take about 5 years it is estimated.

  8. DSL for everyone... on Broadband Is Dead (Or At Least Very Ill) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    In Ellijay,GA, the local phone company offers DSL to 95% of it's customers.
    We're talking in the mountains too folks!
    Over 18,000 voice lines, 105 wire centers; they've converted hundreds of miles of copper to fiber, and are considering cable tv over fiber next year.
    And nearly EVERY customer has DSL access.
    The company spent about 1.5 million to make it happen, and customers get speeds up to 1.5mbs; they've yet to make a profit on the DSL, but, the customers are happy and are eating it up.
    My point: if a small company can do it, in rough and nonlinear terrain ANY company should be able to follow suit.
    Screaming broadband is dead is ludicrous.

    At Chilliware [www.Chillliware.net], (before we went bankrupt due to incredibly poor management) all of our developers were located abroad, including:

    *110 programmers in Yerevan [Former Boomerang employees, formed as 'Chilli Technologies]

    *The 400+ employees of MoreLinux (which also went under due to Chilliwares poor management practices). They performed web duties for LinuxOnly.com and Chilliware.net.

    It was a freaking nightmare, with employees waiting weeks for pay, supplies and feedback.

    Of course, alot of that had to do with Chilliwares incredibly poor management.

  25. It's a mockup OS Shot... on HP Jornada 560 Series · · Score: 2, Informative

    From the /. front page link:

    By now, the screenshot on the left side probably has you quite geared up - and you're dying to know why it looks so fancy if Pocket PC 2002 isn't supposed to be all that. Well, the truth is that this screenshot is not taken from Pocket PC 2002, but instead is an XP skin running on top of Snoopsoft's Dashboard application which alters not only the appearance but also the function of the Today screen of the Pocket PC OS. The Dashboard skin is created by web designer Ard-Jan Barnas, and additionally, a free application called wisBar adds functionality to the title bar.

    And the reason for why we've mislead you a bit? Well, this is how we - and probably numerous others - would like Pocket PC 2002 to look, with increased functionality compared to the Today screen as it is today. Hopefully, Pocket PC 2002 will have this kind of functionality built-in, but it's hard to say exactly what will be in the new operating system as Microsoft has done its best to keep the lid on it.
