Yes, but make sure you drive the Toyota round a large sandbox for a few days first...maybe you live near a sandy beach or golf course with large bunkers. At a pinch, do your kids have a playpit in the garden? Cat litter tray?
If you move to an LLU provider (eg: Be), you can get a theoretical 20Mb down/2.5Mb up. Some of the top-end BT contracts will give you a whopping 883K up but, in general, I agree with your sentiment about upstream speeds being more of an issue now.
Well my fkn broadband connection is (UK South Coast). I hope Google do step in and do this because BT sure as hell take little interest in my little village (that's assuming Google will!)
This is another instance of where moving to Linux should be tried. I am running Fedora 12 on my Acer laptop and the battery life indicator regularly shows that I have 500+ hours of battery life remaining!
"eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content cache. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times. "

As much as I like to bash Mic..well, any organisation that deserves it really...I had no problems accessing the site or downloading ISOs of Win7 and Win7 upgrade Weds last week.
Give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters and eventually you'll have a infinite pile of plastic and metal scrap, all covered in shit.
A good point. I have been working on a committe developing standards for the transmission of information between veterinary records in the UK (and we have interest from other countries). The so-called VetXML standard is already being used for insurance claims and lab results, with referrals on advanced testing.
As per/. standards, I did not RTFA, but I would suggest that "Poorly designed computer systems do not save money" would be a better title.
I have just finished phase 1 of the roll out of a new clinic management package within our group - we have 31 veterinary clinics in the UK and 9 are now on a new system with improved workflow, easier client and patient management and better management reporting. We can see and benchmark clear benefits in time and cost - fair enough, the major benefits are at the back end (reporting etc), but clinic staff have already praised things like quicker patient searches and more accurate billing, stock management and recalls administration.
There are clear benefits of the new system so I am confident to say that not only is it more efficient and will save money compared to a manual system, but it will also do the same compared to our other two clinic management packages - one is old and reliable (accessed through VT220 terminals or PCs running an emulation package) but very outdated and has no serious reporting or connectivity abilities, the other is 'modern' but buggy (crashes often), poorly written with a bad database schema that is totally space inefficient.
I think it's wrong to dismiss computerisation per-se, but there are good and bad examples of system implementations to be seen everywhere.
Hey parents of new college freshmen, students and businessmen..er..sorry you can't get to your apps or data today we...(take your pick)
*...implemented a software patch and experienced some difficulties
*...had an array failure and believe all data is irretrievable
*...had a power outage in a data centre which caused load balancing problems across the rest of our grid
*...had a fibre cut somewhere in the Mediterranean, which affected our European data centres and caused regional traffic slowdowns
Yes, it is a good job we implemented a local backup service that dumps your data to a USB stick or hard/optical drive - it's just a shame you don't have the hardware or an OS that supports local apps, so off you go to kick a colleague off a PC, pop to the local library (hope they don't use our stuff), or hire/buy some PCs or laptops.

Erm, no.
But if you contribute to Open Source GUIs, you may be a KDE fiddler
I prefer Japanese Open Source Apps - Arrr so?
You are assuming that the manufacturers will favour electrical law over design aesthetics.
I'm more worried about the effect this will have on battery drain. Will each sim come with an external cell in a shoulder bag?

Do you have a public broadcast licence for that?
So 127.0.0.1 will resolve to www.clownpenis.fart ?
...or just start allowing hex notation - for example, A4A.012.4FF.BAA
That would work, right?
You can use ALT-F4 instead - try it now.
I'm part of that group and I have no interest in the thing at all.
Just Sayin'
So if there's a major disaster on the French-Swiss border, where would we bury the survivors?

Dude, what a rollercoaster!
"that £400 represents our profit for an entire summer."
You're doing it wrong. ..actually, considering Summer over here is about 2 days and a nice evening... maybe you're on the button.
Yes, those too were available if I needed them, but on this occasion I just needed the Win 7 ISOs

If you tie a length of this paper into a Möbius strip, do you get an infinite power source - or just AC?
Give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters and eventually you'll have a infinite pile of plastic and metal scrap, all covered in shit.
...and just before the event, we will get to learn the monkey phrase for "Oh, shit"
Double win!
You have just taken the hideous word 'boxen' to new heights!
True, though, ZFS is a bleedin obvious implementation of this kind of thing
There's an Italian song about the manuscript - maybe it holds some clues...
