I have all my mail on my yahoo account, despite having a Google account as well. It's just that I created the Yahoo! one way back, around 1996-7, and have been using it ever since, and at this point, migrating over to Gmail would be too much of a hassle,.
I'm sure it will be less of a hassle when Yahoo gets sold and Yahoo Mail is shut down.
EyeTV also did something nasty where they decided to switch programming providers without any warning whatsoever. I woke up one day and nothing was being recorded! It took me about 20-30 minutes to figure out how to get it to download program data again! Totally unacceptable!
Yes, Titan TV jacked up the price they wanted EyeTV to pay in order to access their feed, so EyeTV changed their software to use TV Guide.
This was announced by El Gato and notices were e-mailed to customers TWO YEARS in advance.
Needless to say, I replaced the entire Mac Mini + EyeTV setup with an HP desktop running Windows 7. The Microsoft DVR software is the best I've used so far; and I can play BluRay as well!
Clearly in this case it is THE USER that is buggy.
Oh, excuse me. $30 for the $.03 cable. My bad. They used to be $50. I used to sell the fucking things, I know. The myriad of video adapters were the worst. We couldn't keep the Mini Displayport to DVI adapters in stock if our lives depended on it...
Please let us know when you are able to manufacture, package, market and ship for 3 cents per adapter.
while not 100% proprietary, it's currently only used on Macs, and I'd bet money that it will end up like Firewire - only extensively used by Macs, and not standard or common for PCs.
Just like USB was before Apple put it standard on all their Macs.
Slashdot Mirror
I find it hard to believe that the cost of a cellular modem, ear piece, microphone, and larger battery accounts for that $78.96? I don't think so...
You are forgetting about all the various licensing fees based on the patents for various cell phone technologies.
The cost of the phone is more than the parts.
Unfortunately with the later the company won't pay or even help pay for a phone even though that is what they are doing in the first option..
If you have problems with your iPhone, you just take it to the Genius bar at an Apple Store.
No need for the phone company to be involved with servicing a phone.
Do you expect your cable company to service your TV or computer?
Wow. That's pretty slow.
My Comcast $45/mo residential connection is 22Mbs/4Mbs.
Too bad nuclear bombs are banned in space....
That we know of...
Prius drivers also behaved badly
Wouldn't that be obvious?
Regular people can't afford a Prius
He got his chinese sweatshot workers jumping to their deaths in herds.
The same factory your M$ Xbox is made?
That site has nothing to offer other than legacy email account access and stock pumping/bashing on the finance boards.
I had forgotten about their stock message boards.
99.9999% noise.
He never did explicately say WHAT was better about yahoo mail.
Better than AOL I guess.

What benefits do ISP-provided name servers provide?
Slower lookups? :-)
i havent had to manually type in a nameserver in about 10 years.
I guess you are lucky not to have an ISP that has frequent DNS issues.
Last time I had a comcast tech out to fix my cable modem, I had to show them how to use ping.
Likely just a part time contractor.
Real Comcast techs know how to pull up a terminal and run commands.
I've had both.
Why don't we all just run Windows and use ActiveX?
How about Java applets?
Anyone remember Java WebStart?

USB was standard on Intel motherboards before it was standard on Mac.
And yet the USB market was non existant until it shipped standard on the Mac.
The CEO of Intel has credited Apple for making USB popular.
Interesting that english has no words for spaciotemporal stuff like that.
Lay the TV down horizontally.

HDMI, like it or not, is the standard for AV these days.
And a future version of the HDMI standard could very likely include the Thunderbolt connector.
while not 100% proprietary, it's currently only used on Macs, and I'd bet money that it will end up like Firewire - only extensively used by Macs, and not standard or common for PCs.
Just like USB was before Apple put it standard on all their Macs.
Yes, I truly believe Apple would do that. They make big, big bucks selling $50 adapters that cost $.03 to make.
Apple doesn't sell any adapters at $50.
Perhaps you are talking about the Thunderbolt cable? Have you seen a 3rd party make one cheaper yet?
I used to run my TV using a Mac Mini with EyeTV so I could watch and record TV. It was awful, very unstable, crashed often,.
True, EyeTV does have a small memory leak. Best to run it on a Mac with lots of extra memory.
and required a CS degree in order to understand how to record a series.
So simply clicking on the TV show description and clicking the "Record All" button is too complicated for you?
36 inches is getting into the range where you could flip it upright
Isn't a TV already upright? :-)
Christmas is 364 days away.
Especially when you can just go to the Lego store and buy the bricks you want by the bag full.
That has the disadvantage of not allowing them to follow along through a demo or glance up at stuff written on the board
Written on the board? Really?
Real computer labs these days allow the teacher to send their computer screen to all the student computer screens. No need for a board to scribble on.
