They also offer the Motorola c331t (GAIT model) at least in the Boston market. I wanted to go GSM with them but the coverage just can't match their TDMA network right now and that is what is important to me.
Note: the voice quality of the Motorola c331t is no where near as good as my Nokia 8260 was.
Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, USA laid fiber to the curb a few years back and provides reasonable transfer rates and pricing including some "allowing" servers. Check out some of the details here.
At the time it was first being rolled out I was working for a small business in the town and oversaw the our connection, which was fiber to the door. Speeds on the town network were up to 100Mbps while anything outside the network was capped at 1.5Mbps for $50 a month.
While the environment might be threatened by over-population, it is only our environment, the one that allows humans to survive. The Earth will continue on its cycle of renewal long after the last human has passed, or before.
So while "Saving the Planet" is a noble cause...maybe people would be more responsive if they realized they are saving themselves, their loved ones, their children and their grandchildren.
It was a prototype built to test technologies and to do so cheaply. It was built with mainly off the shelf parts and materials. It is being retired now and not going into any sort of production.
It doesn't matter for you. Quartz extreme requires ATI Radeon or better graphics chip or GeForce2MX or better graphics chip. In particular these newer chips have the ability to do textures that are not powers of two, which is required for QE implimentation. You can hack the software as much as you want but the hardware isn't there to do it.
Yes, and Mac OS 9 and earlier did that in 2D as well...
What Quartz Extreme does is renders everything in OpenGL through your GPU. So all your windows and dialogs etc are Postscript texture mapped onto 3D OpenGL objects.
Sure right now it looks like 2D since they didn't want to make a paradigm shift...but just imagine what you could do with this if you made the 3D actually look 3D. Oh the possibilities...
Don't worry it won't, I've seen it with my own eyes on old hardware and it is indeed faster. The only bad thing I've seen so far is that its due "late summer".
Actually those Quartz Extreme facts are not quite right, here are the hard requirements:
AGP 2x or faster ATI Radeon or better nVidia GeForce2 or better
If you have those your 10.2 install will use Quartz extreme. However, 32mb VRAM is recommended for optimal performance. If you don't have 32mb some of the more complicated features might be disabled or scaled back.

Whoops, my bad...mean just plain ol' TDMA. AndI don't think Motorola does make any...

Agreed. How does this fall into the category of Apple when the person in the article last worked there 20 years ago?
Well said. I guess my Friday bitterness got the best of me. In which case I'll withhold my the thought of what slashdot would be without comments. :)
I believe in the business world this is called a Monopoly.
I was not comparing hardware. I was answering a question about other systems that can do HDTV manipulation. RTFR
No one said anything about 3D image manipulation. The comment I replied to asked about HDTV manipulation.
No, but a PowerMac can.
You're wrong. ;-)
With NetBoot and OS X Server 10.2 all the clients start from a single disk image. (references)

It's not that they are "nifty-cool", in fact they actually kinda hick.
But they are cheap. That's why they are in business.
The CRT iMac currently sells for $799.
iBooks and eMacs start close at $999.
Is it really that hard to check facts?
Great, so now Microsoft is creating so that everyone needs to buy two licenses to run a Windows PC. One for the computer and one for the display.

Ironically, if you try to backup a Quicken 2003 data file via Backup 1.2 (latest version) the application will lock-up.
Apple has known about this bug for awhile and apparently are "working on a fix" with Intuit but nothing in the past few months.
Read the article.

Darwnism at its finest...and you thought Darwin was just a clever open source port name! Ha! Don't believe me? Check out mammals.org! :-)
Matlab has been out for OS X for awhile now. Latest version is 6.5, same as all other platforms. Spec page here.

No, it does not include PCI cards. They must be AGP 2x or faster.
AGP 2x or faster
ATI Radeon or better
nVidia GeForce2 or better
