Why would the network equipment in you area stop working after a storm. Because that are ETHERNET (Twisted Pair wire, RJ45 plug, 100baseT) lines designed to work indoors and never meant to be drawn between buildings. why would you even hint that this an ISP of any quality. Because it provides you with speed several times higher than highest broadband option in major ISPs (10-100mbit inside the ISP network (including from www proxy) and several neighbor ISP networks, and several good lines to the outside world) for price being 50% the price of the cheapest "narrow band" of these major ISPs.
$15/month for unlimited bandwidth + permanent routable IP + choosen DNS entry + webhosting (30M diskspace, unlimited bandwidth usage) + 3 email addresses (POP/webmail, some 100M space each) and some more goodies. Freedom to host any servers you desire and use as much bandwidth as you can get. Some downtimes and $5 network card once-twice a year is not that high a price. Find me a reasonable competition.
Think of it like kind of overclocker's ISP. You get totally awesome performance, but stability drops and it's definitely unreliable.
I'm on a reasonable quality ISP landlines lots of ethernet connecting whole neighborhood, a hub or switch every 2-3 houses apart, plus a gateway on some kind of big pipe. There's one serious problem with this approach though - better buy network cards in bulk, after each major storm most of network infrastructure that was plugged in needs to be replaced. Now what before the ISP brings in replacement hubs and switches? Recently I found myself in this situation, needing access really urgently. So I just whipped out my cell phone, the data cable (self-made), a bit of configuring and I'm online in no time. Of course downloading movies or surfing graphically heavy pages is out of question with/byte payment, but it's perfectly enough for IM, email, IRC and some lightweight webbrowsing.
If Battlefield 1942 was fought in IIWW realia, shouldn't Battlefield 2 be located, say, in Roman Empire, the unrests caused by king Herod, barbarians' attacks from the north, this kind of stuff, when Jesus was a 2-year-old child?
Hmm... Having Enter in form of 4 small standard-sized keys, and a huge, square, 4-key size backslash (on its usual location, right from right shift) would feel somewhat like hitting anus instead of vagina, nevertheless very interesting idea:)
1) Power usage. Laptops are supposed to drain much less than desktops. But true, something more "inbetween" should be available. The problem with laptop batteries is that they are usually Li-Ion or at least NiMH, FAR more expensive than lead-acid used in UPS. 2) Completely different kind of signal I bet. The backstage tech costs. 3) Plus touchscreens are helluva expensive. 4) option a) IR plug on serial port, works with any remote. (cheap, cumbersome) b) IrDA, many computers (and most laptops) have it onboard, dedicated remote (expensive, neat). 5) I guess they aren't cheap...
ALL of them are quite expensive in the "quality" form. Definitely not desirable as "standard". Power supply - add 50% price. Network card - well, you see. Touchscreens - at least 3x the price. Remote with built-in IrDA - probably as much as any remote, which isn't quite SO cheap. Speakers - well, you know. Sure they all should be available. As an expensive option.
I recently found myself without net access - strong storm, network devices burned in the whole area. Great, finally time to test my phone GPRS capablities. In no time I had my network back up, first time wirelessly online. A bit slow, but will do. One major drawback - paid per byte, and A LOT to that. Ok, switching image loading in Firefox off, ssh to a shell account in other city for some IRCing... But no email. Because my email gets filtered locally. And I get about 10M of spam for each 10k of data in email. Downloading it would cost me a fortune. Effectively - spammers cooperatively DDoSed my mailbox. Why shouldn't I repay them?
True, and often it's not the money. I'd gladly give $1 to have the movie here and now. But it's the overhead. Register, confirm by email, give details, enter billing information, confirm, etc, etc. Purchasing registration of a program online takes half a hour. Downloading a crack takes 5 minutes. It's not about the price in money, it's about the price in your time and effort the sellers demand.
...why what would make a perfect sense as a trackball (and one good excuse for the name of the console - 360 degrees free rotation) is just a simple switch?
It's not about the employee. Sure, keep her, but at some obscure far location where nobody would know her. But you MUST say she's fired, or other employees will get even more careless, knowing there's no punishment. It's about the others - give an example: "See what happens if you screw us."
Why did nobody thought to shoot Batman in the chin. Through throat, into neck section of the spine. Unshielded area, quick death, easier shot than aiming at the eye. Also shooting the jaw off from the side would pretty much neutralize him.
a horse whisperer. Not quite techie job but definitely interesting and challenging:)
There's few -GOOD- tech positions that involve exercise - usually getting behind the desk is considered advancement from the lower positions - but field engineering, like working with cellular tower stations, data lines repair, monitoring cameras etc involves some movement... but they are all considered more "blue collar" jobs, so the pay isn't all that great.
process, process, let's try. pr, pc, ps. Okay, it's ps. Now what about msh? show-process. list-process. show_process. list_process. display_process. display-process. displayProcess. view-process. see-process. print-process output-process. fuck-process, argh, where's the manual?!
Separating fields by whitespaces or commas, records by EOLs, being done for ages now. Most "list" commands create such serializable data, this is what we see. list whole dir structure, grep records containing.c in last field, extract column with filesizes, add up the values with bc and you have amount of C sources. It exists.
Somehow I doubt OS X will be cheaper than MS Windows, and that many inexpensive PCs will come with it bundled. Linspire competes with Microsoft by price, not quality. No way OS X could replace it. It's on the opposite end of the price scale!
I realize the price will go down over time, but seriously, who is going to buy this chip?
Quite a few jackasses with too short egos. If the chip was released at $200, they'd pay $200 and you'd pay $200, now. But if it's released at $1000, they pay $1000 now, and you'll pay $200 in half a year. AMD is not in hurry, they prefer to earn more over longer period of time than less, NOW.
And if my neighbors do? They get their computers infected. And once they start working as spammer zombies, my ISP's DNS slows down to a crawl, being spammed with hundreds DNS requests for all addresses from the spam address lists. So do I deserve that for living near some morons?
The problem is spyware installs its launchers in all (LOTS OF) startup points of Windows, each of them pointing to randomly named copy of the program, so if you disable one, another copy will start up and "fix it".

Well, you can anonymously tip Adobe that DirectRevenue is bundling their app with Adobe software and spreading it on BT.
