I have unlimited data transfers, and can use my cell (technically a smart phone) to tether to my PC with no extra costs, provided I follow the terms of service. Basically, no BitTorrent or other P2P style apps.
It's really convenient when the cable modem goes out and I need to get online, or if I'm on a train.
It's reasonably fast, and the price isn't bad, with a nearly-unlimited plan. I'm stoked about the outcome, if Verizon's offerings fall flat with the open platform then AT&T should have something at least.
It can be argued that public free roads are the major cause of traffic
Well, without them how would you drive anywhere? Or do you mean the fact that most communities divert their money into mass transit schemes that get no riders, and community WiFi, instead of road projects that were slated for completion in 1959?
Pffft, there's 37 David Hogan's that live in the same county as me. I just Google'd my name right now, and the imposters include a minister who claims to have raised the dead in Mexico (hundreds of times), written some open-source shit, directed music videos, an American music teacher and composer who died on TWA Flight 800, a storyboard artist, an author of Palm software, a successful snooker player, a Trusted Linux bearded geek, a Doctor of Economics, a runner on myspace who likes rodeos, a teacher at Abilene Christian University, a Cumberland Presbyterian Minister who died in 1904, a Professor and Acting Dean at CRPP, Executive Vice President, Aperion Audio, Inc., and more! I still haven't even found one reference to The Real Dave (me).
But, you're probably screwed if your name is Fuzz E. Nahds.
Charging customers to send them into space is a lofty goal for any business owner, and perhaps particularly in an area whose economy draws much of its strength from the availability of cheap land.
But that's the goal that Bill Sprague has set, and he even said that he chose Temecula largely because of its low cost of living relative to the coastal cities where his aerospace suppliers are based.
Sprague is building a 52-foot rocket. By October 2007, he hopes, passengers with $250,000 to spend will be able to ride it to the edge of outer space, where the curve of the Earth is visible and where the planet's gravity is slightly weaker than at the surface.
"If they look in any direction except at the Earth, they'll see black," Sprague said. "It'll be just the sun sitting in a sea of blackness. The stars will be visible."
Cool article, although the fact the rocket parts are only valued at $3mil right now would make me concerned about riding in it.
The more products Google launches, the less I feel I can trust them. I love my gMail account, but I've stopped using some other services just because, well, it's too much in one basket.
Activation isn't that bad. It's easy to convince MS you replaced your motherboard, whether it's a legit excuse or not. In addition, it was free on Average Joe 6 Pack's PC/Laptop, as far as he knows.
So no stores with those scanners after the checkout, guess your getting close to online sales only.
That's still in their store. If they followed me back to and into my house to make sure I hadn't hidden anything in my coat, then it'd be more on par with the comparison you were looking for.
I know I feal when I am ID'd to buy beer (would apply to tobacco, lottery, spray paint, etc) that they are looking at me, and saying they dont trust me.
What you described is like making someone click "Accept" before installing a program. How about if they followed you home, and watched you smoke your cigatettes, to make sure you didn't give them to someone younger?
By the time HDTV hits the market it sounds like there'll be over a billion DVD players on the market. Back to the original point, which was that HD-DVD won't replace such a large installation base quickly, if ever.
Many pornographers put some of their products onto Torrent sites amid pirated offerings to create a buzz. People download a few lower quality, shorter clips with ads, and supposedly then go pay to download the "full" versions instead.
Many, many, many companies offer DSL besides your local phone company I'd bet. You need to get the copper from the local telco, but they're required to let other providers offer DSL on the same line.
See also DSLExtreme, Covad, A1, LaunchNet, SpeakEasy, ISOMedia, Interlync, EarthLink, EarthWave, Intercom, A+, etc. Those are just some of the ones available on my SBC phone line.
"The infastructure can only be developed AFTER you bring jobs."
No, you can create the jobs by building infrastructure. That enables more jobs. It's hard to build a McDonalds without any water to prepare the food with. Most high tech businesses require large amounts of electricity.
Businesses also require infrastructure in the form of communications, roadways, and ports. Most of those require water and power first though, so those seem like the simplest way to help kick start an economy.
Either MS can start paying out for exclusive bugs, making iDefense's offer worthless, or they can start being more proactive about finding and patching critical problems.
It seems like a real win/win for Windows users no matter what.
Same reason I'm glad I had a Sanyo MBC-1000 (CP/M, yeah baby!)
The text based games were cool and all, but it was way cooler to make the hero "Captain Boobs" when you're 7 years old.
Doesn't work with an ATI 9600 either, their 25 step workaround doesn't work, nobody will give me a refund, nobody answers 2k games' phones, I'm pirating everything from now on.
Fuck paying $50 for a game that doesn't work, doesn't have support, and can't be returned. This is the last PC game I'll bother paying for.
MSN is already the default search, and msn.com is the default start page already in Windows XP. Google's already beaten those two obsticles quite nicely by becoming a verb.

Well, it's not like you paid for Linux, so you must be a pirate. Right?
http://www.goerie.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071017/NEWS02/710170400 - This article explains it more. He used TTY services with a spoofed call ID it sounds like. Not a big deal of a hack to me.

I'd say the whole thing kind of becomes rocket science at that point. Are you a rocket scientist? I didn't think so.
Then throw out that PC right away! You're burning coal to post here, hypocrite. What use could that possibly serve the human race?

Much like in 1984, it's very easy to lose, delete, alter, or create history these days it seems.
I lure people into my website quite effectively by having the words 'amature' and 'ass' on the same page.

Soon TV networks will just start putting tickers over shows, to make sure you have to be present for the ads. Unless you Just Don't Look.

Traffic Monitoring Cell Phones will be it's own catagory soon. My question would be science or politics.

It's a total re-invention of the open-ended game though. In the Maxis games you never were just one person, making one city Hell On Earth.
If Google did Linux you'd never even need a shell... If only...
