  2. Re:There is a PIC Successor on AMD Cuts Personal Internet Communicator · · Score: 1

    I can tell you that it's much more than guesswork, but I can't tell you any details. You should be able to guess why.

  3. There is a PIC Successor on AMD Cuts Personal Internet Communicator · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is another AMD machine in the pipeline, however, the successor to the PIC, called the Ultra Value PC. Look for it in January.

  4. Worth It For Me on AppleCare for PowerBooks - Worth it or Wasted? · · Score: 1
    I have bought an AppleCare extended warranty for both my two G4 Powerbooks and both have been repaired under this warranty. The repairs would have been many times what I paid for the extended warranty, and the Apple repair was fast and hassle-free.

    I also sold my first G4 Powerbook and the transfer of the extended warranty was a major factor in the sale, I was told by the person who bought it.

    Finally, you will find that if you need tech support for Apple peripherals that are outside of their warranties, you can use the Powerbook's extended warranty to avoid paying for tech support calls, such as for an AirPort base station or something similar.

    Definitely worth it for me.

  5. Austin, TX Story Nearly Identical on Library Censorware Blocks Own Site · · Score: 2, Funny

    This happened at the main public library in Austin, Texas, too. The library was using a filtering product that used a "three-letter" algorithm -- you can guess the letter combinations -- to block sites.

    The name of the main library site is the John Henry Faulk Memorial Library.

    Local civil libertarians picketed the Austin Library Commission with signs that read "Free the Ducks!"

    That method of filtering was discontinued at the Austin Public Library.
