I don't have cable right now, but I do have SBC DSL, and I would consider using this service if it allowed me to choose the channels I wanted to subscribe to, included a TiVO-like service, and cost less than cable would.
Would have to be getting sound and ethernet working. I was using RH 9.1 and connecting to my campus network wouldn't work just fresh out of the install; I had to edit some of the configuration files. Then, sound wasn't working (onboard), so I searched for help on that, found I had to download some ALSA drivers, recompile those, and link them in, and sound still didn't work. I've pretty much given up on it for now.
I'm a college student, so I'd probably keep a few small games on there to bide the time in computer labs, copies of papers and programs I had to write in case I forgot the hardcopy and needed to print it out again, and probably some PGP keys and a favorites list.
I play many WizKids games, and I'm also an active player of the FASA games that Wizkids has the rights to. I'm intimately familiar with almost all of the combined properties.
Basically, what I'm saying is that if I find a stick of chewing gum in my next MW:DA booster, I'm gonna kill someone.
Not sure how rare/commonplace abductions that occur because of meeting someone over the internet are, but wouldn't this just facilitate it and make it a little bit easier to find someone you can just grab and run with?
I doubt they would acknowledge the lite version; since it's hacked to remove spyware and ads, they get no revenue from it, so why let people know about it?
...could reliability standards stifle innovation? How hard is it to design something that works well and is extremely robust, yet, be creative and innovative in its design?
Not all anime is about huge breasts and sex. I'm a huge fan of the Trigun series because it depicts a tormented hero struggling to help a world that believes he's the worst thing to happen to it, ever. People never seem to hear about the good deeds he performs, yet, they all want to talk about any destruction that might result from those good deeds, and of course, the tall tales are often exaggerated.
I would've paid that to see the Leonid shower; I was under cloud cover at the time. If he can set up a few more sites to have more guarantee of clear skies, then I can see this turning into a viable service for amateur astronomers.
There's a large gain to be had in owning.com names; it's the extension people most frequently remember. NewZealand.gov could be a viable alternative, unless the site's intended use was to highlight vacation plans, tourist spots, etc.
So if it's doing that, why can't it use an alternate address like visitnewzealand.com or something of the like? As much as I dislike cybersquatting, it looks like their only viable alternative is grabbing a different domain and then waiting to snatch up newzealand.com when it expires.
A picture really couldn't approximate what the monitor does; since it's 3D, you need at least two simultaneous viewing angles to see the intended effect. A picture of the monitor would be ok, but I get the feeling it would basically look like any other monitor until you turned it on.
I, for one, can't wait to see this. After seeing the psuedo-3D farce that was those supposed "glasses" that worked in conjunction with Direct3D, it would be a nice change to actually get some close-to-3D images. It would sure come in handy with my gaming, because it's hard for me to judge distance in gaming; I have a hard time approximating model height.
There's some pop-up ads I only find mildly annoying; for example, the occasional Geocities pop-up. However, there are a lot more vicious ones out there. I experienced one that, when Xed out or Alt-F4ed, opened a new pop-up, and when the new one was closed, it popped the old one back up. Suffice it to say, I was happy at that moment for XP's 'Close Group' feature. But just mousing over without any warning doesn't seem as malicious as recursive pop-ups, unless they're combined to create a greater evil.

It'll just be filled with the standard "deliver campaign contributions to white house from Halliburton" fedex quests that we've come to know and love.
...that they'd have learned from their American launch.
This isn't going to hit next month, it's already out; I've already seen HPs with it on the retail shelves, and I've already tested it out.

You're right, it was a stupid question.
Where did the original unmodified quote come from? I keep seeing it, but I don't know its source.
Proves a visionary? Not only would it be an excellent proliferate conductor, it could be used to lace and coat construction materials.

Xbox-scene mentioned this as well just for this reason.

But the bananas had 26 dismemberment zones!

You can still have an article where someone's talking about things they like...it happens all the time.

That's still excellent throughput for a wireless connection at that distance.
How long till we get OS support for these babies? Knowing the track record for this kind of thing...about two years after it's outdated.

Microsoft immediately came to mind.
