I suspect you're giving the average/.er entirely too much credit, the IQ of which is probably not much beyond that of the average Starbucks worker. Just look on the spellin and grammer mistakes. I really doubt most even know where China is located on a globe. The Chinese are not blocking us, they are laughing at our stupidity. The US is accumulating so much debt from China, they will soon own us lock, stock and barrel. I suggest you be nice to your new Chinese Overloads.
Hey, btw, check out my new flash puzzle game: Traffic Jam
Are you actually using one? Does it deliver the same experience as a Powerbook for existing powerpc applications? I'm tempted because I need a windows pc, but I don't want my garageband program to run slowly. Any feedback? Will I be disappointed?

The mac mini only uses 85 watts of electricity. That is pretty cool in itself in this day and age of 450+ power supplies.
And you ou can stack 10+ minis in the space of tower system.
Why is that the cable companies still charge you the same for the days they have disabled your account as the days they do not?
You are paying for a service that they are refusing to provide to you.
Yes, and according to xbox.net, Microsoft is going to conquer the rest of the known universe with Xbox2.
According to the article, they will produce all hardware, graphics chip and cpu, thereby turning on their allied friends nvidia and intel. Guess we now know the answer to whether or not there's "intel inside" the death star!
Why must we ensure that 100% of the risk is taken away? br>
I would like to see a manned flight to one of Saturn's moons. With technology today we should have no problem doing it. But let's just tell the astronauts up front that they are going to die. Tell the public they are going to die as well to prepare them. You will still get hundreds of people willing to sacrifice their life for this journey, no doubt. And the public will love the story and watch every second of their flight with held breath. And if the astronauts should make it back by some chance miracle, they will truly be heroes.
Now someone with balls should extend this precedent by posting on the internet and in print a complete review of all the different databases: Oracle, Dbase2, Sql Server, Sybase, etc using their real names. Attach a copy of this case to the website and just prepare for the wolves to close in. My bet is the wolves back off and get scared.
The result would be a much more review friendly world, where we could start posting reviews on any products we want without fear of lawsuit. Not just databases but applications servers and much more! What a world this could be!
I just recently got my dad one of those cheap walmart computers and installed redhat 8 and staroffice and he loves it! He only dabbles with writing a few letters but he really seems to get along fine. I think overall it is a little slow compared to Microsoft Office but it has a surprising number of features you wouldn't necessarily expect from a free software product.
Kudos to Sun and the StarOffice group for creating a true Microsoft Office killer.
It is intended to be visually pleasing for people who like AOL and MSN. Some people really like it. Some people hate it. There aren't many people in between. It does get people's attention though. Plus it is holiday oriented.

I just bought one of these for my dad. I installed redhat 8.0 and he loves it! He doesn't know the difference between it and windows. It is fun to watch is use mozilla for web browsing and mail. If microsoft disappeared off the planet I really think desktop computing would go on fine at this point.
Flash is the future. 96% of all web browsers support it and it provides a much better ui experience than standard html. There are many flash only websites out there today. Our web hosting service is designed to be simple for normal folks, not necessarily geeks using lynx, although we like them too:)
Yearly billing is much better than monthly billing. But lifetime billing is just absurd. It will only last for the lifetime of the average webhost which will be about 6 months probably.
I strongly recommend IrvineHosting. We are a large, reliable company that has been hosting for a long time. We offer great yearly packages and reliable service.
Right now you can get a three month free trial so check it out:
Well, I just saw the season finale and I must say it was pretty good. Looks like things will change quite a bit next season. I like how the show always refers back to past episodes. You can really tell it is carefully planned out. You can tell they don't spend a lot of money on the show, but production values aren't everything.
I think I have tivo'd seen every episode. And each time I watch, I sigh and think, "this has got to get better." I would say the last episode (with the scary space police dudes killing everybody in their path) was probably the first episode that I thought was decent.

Thanks I did not realize Apple had already made GarageBand a universal binary. Nice.

Wow, that actually sounds really cool! I just be happy if I could get my SourceSafe repository to stop corrupting.
Gentoo really has a nice set of docs.
This just might help Mozilla pick up fresh mindshare, actually.

I just read about this on xbox.net
I just paid $200+ for an Xbox. How can people afford to keep upgrading consoles every two years??
Why does space flight have to be safe?
These are explorers braving the new frontier.

Any volunteers?
Ok, let's get this cracking on the xbox key then. Maybe we should start a slashdot slush fund to collect up the needed 10 million.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing.

No, I bought the package for him because I wanted him to have the documentation and access to the support. Believe me, he will need it.

Oh sorry about that. This is the first time I've ever done this, but it doesn't seem offtopic since the subject is web hosting obviously.
