damn that is a good thought, and I was wondering the same thing. Maybe AIDS/HIV patients could get a bone marrow transplant that would reintialize their immune system curing them of it.
We just might be 5 years away from at least a partial cure.
no it doesn't as if you change windowsupdate.microsoft.com to anything else windows bypasses it and goes straight for the proper site.
this is both good and bad. good in that you can always be assured of quailty updates from msft, but bad in that you msft can't follow proper security procedures to secure hosts files.
iTunes TV shows don't look any worse than my cable tv line. even at a lower resolution on my HD tv they still appear fine. On a standard TV they look identical.
Youtube is painful but only because it runs through flash, and the source quailty isn't carefully controlled. try watching the flash video's on cnn.com better but no full screen.
Firefox 3 should be ale to pass the acid 2 test. They have been working on it, and they don't introduce custom extensions to doctypes to render correctly, rather they are fixing their browser itself.
MSFT dug itself into a hole. instead of getting out and filling the hole back in they are digging another hole to bring people down to their level.
But spaceX is doing the same thing NASA, Russia, the EU have done. sit on a giant explosion and ride it up into space. SS2 and white knight are working on flying up there. with any luck SpaceShip 10 will be SSTO which makes it 10 times better than anyone else.
Of course SS10 will also be 30 years down the line. they will need the funding to get their first. So Suborbital flights, and then deliveries will help pay for it.
Spaceship 2 is just the second step. they are working their way up to space which is far more than what you are doing.
The fact is that only a few countries have been able to afford the hundred million dollars a launch. Spaceship 2 is working on getting there for a hell of a lot less than that. sure it will take a while, but at least they are trying, unlike NASA, Russia, ESA, or Japan.
The Answer to regular space travel isn't shoving a stick of dynamite up your arse and lighting it, which is currently how we get to space. You can have a dumb projectile, or you can fly up gracefully. spaceship 2 is working out how to do the latter safely. Everyone else has given up due to budget concerns.
second reply since I thought of this after I hit post.
Just imagine trying to run the something like the iTunes Music store with dial up connection speeds only. You just can't do it reasonably. Sure not everyone will access it at the same time but enough will to saturate your bandwidth.
Plan for next decades bandwidth usage. to figure it out raise it to the 20th power. A decade ago 56k was the king of the hill. now we argue about 1 mbps being slow.
Your logic is what has gotten us into this mess to begin with. ISP's don't have enough overall bandwidth for the number of users they are supporting.
The promise everyone can get this much at this speed but in order to deliver it they either have to increase their bandwidth, or throttle a percentage of the connections. If you don't plan for giving 50.000 people 1mbps connections then when you have 50.000 people trying to use their connection to download the latest TV show your screwed.
think farther ahead than today's bandwidth usage please!!!
funny europe has done that themselves on several occasions, namely being right after world war one in the 1930's when they appeased germany every time Germany broke the treaty of Versailles.
Not only aren't people using their site, their site is slow to load, the video is crappy at best, and their bandwidth bill must have been huge.
The great thing about apple's offerings is that you can output it to a TV at full screen and sit on your couch to watch them. Try that with most flash video's. Youtube it is allowed CNN it isn't.
Saudi arabia is only one country, Venezula, Iran and russia would do it to hurt the USA. In fact Iran could hurt us more not by building nuclear weapons but by selling oil for slightly lower amounts in euros. The trend will start somewhere and even if Saudi doesn't follow it will be enough.
True but you can always hit the persian gulf and work your way down the coast line.
People crossed from China, to france and back again long before Marco Polo. Just look at a map of the area that alexandar the great conquoerd. no are you telling me the he was the only one to make such a journey?
It wasn't normal steady traffic, but there were wanderers who just kept going.
When was the last time you tried to use MSFT any on any other OS?
car analogies don't work for computers.
Oh and this isn't bundling. If you modify a sharp zaruas and it stops working completely youu don't go back to sharp to get it fixed. If you flashed your nokia to hack it to add features that wasn't there before Nokia won't support your phone anymore.
stop singling out apple when ever other company does the exact same friggin thing you friggin idiot.
No you don't the $20 is for software that will turn the iPod touch into a PDA. Including mail client etc, that should have been included from the start.
that update has nothing to due with the iphone at all.
It is bizarre and yet it isn't. Looking at a current map, with Indonesia many island they were more likely to build boats. Why would africans need to build boats capable of surviving the empty ocean when they have tons of food behind them on shore where it's dry. Indonesia didn't have that kind of resource so they built boats to travel with.
Vikings crossed the atlantic by island hopping along the north.(england, ireland, iceland, greenland, to newfoundland. why is Indonesia so remarkable for doing essentially the same thing in wammer waters(though still deadly)?

Checks his wi-fi again.
Damn your right I never saw that little wire that is plugged in for my wi-fi card to work.
fuck I wonder how long it has been broken. It does explain why I can only recieve HTML but uploading seems to always fail.

currently most home owners don't need 25Mbps. but they will when they start to receive the bulk of their tv shows by internet.
It is almost to the point where that will become possible and not lose quality. the ISP's in the USA are no where near ready for that transition.
Real Daleks would just level the building until they could gracefully roll through. Sounds a lot like the MPAA now doesn't it?
wait for IE 10 to become complaint with HTML 5

If true then MSFT is even copying the one application at a time by using windows starter edition.
i say if as I don't know apple's eduction history.
Better question how is this different than Finder's varible icons? The trash can becomes an eject icon when you select an external volume?
funny europe has done that themselves on several occasions, namely being right after world war one in the 1930's when they appeased germany every time Germany broke the treaty of Versailles.
especially since most of the record data was with 19th, and 20th century technology.
exactly why completely destroy a website when slow gradual changes are so much more fun.
they probably could have gotten away with it longer too.
Damn straight Active X is solely responsible for what percentage of viruses in the past 9 years since it's introduction? 50-60% more?
Coding for Active X is stupid because it is a virus magent. poorly designed, lots of buffer overflows, etc, etc.
design to standards and you will won't have nearly as many problems.
