  6. prices for hosting? on U.S. Carriers To Share Connection Fees To Oz · · Score: 1

    Maybe the prices for web hosting will drop from the stupidly high levels its at now. I approached a few of the major isp's to find out the pricing and plans for some simple web space space (and hosting my domain name). Well for about $50-60 you can get some bare bones basic web hosting. So I say to the isp business dept ( because only business have web sites ..doh) operator that I'm talking to on the phone " for that price i could get cable access and host the site from my place with linux" his reply was "geez how old are you ? you seem to know a lot" He didnt have a f*ckin clue what I was talking about.

  20. Take the power back on Chuck D Gives Props To Napster · · Score: 2
    Chuck supports the freedom napster offers!...it offers me freedom as the consumer. It offers me access to vast libaries of free copyrighted music. It does not offer the artist any freedom that i can see. The artist can not control how or who gets hold of their works (the music). But i do agree with chuck that power need to be restored back to the recording artists, but i dont think napster does this. Im a big fan of mp3's and im a big fan of smaller record labels but but i don't see how napster and mp3's are really empowering artists. Shore a musician could make a cd and release a few free tracks on mp3, but we all know that the whole album will be online for download without the artists permission within hours of release in the stores, and the artist is not making any money from this. Only postive I can see, and its seems like Chuck can see aswell is that mp3's and napster have made record companys think about the out dated business models they use, and some are attempting to work out new ways of music delivery. But alas most are going down the predictable path of just trying to sue everybody and anybody they can.

  22. not yet on A Post-Microsoft World · · Score: 2
    A lot of people are post microsoft, but the world is not. Bill and his army of sweatshop workers will not just lie down and die.
    They will creatively work their way around any decision that is made to break up microsoft or another form of punishment that is handed out to him like any naughty school boy would.
    The world is not going to stop using windows yet. Linux or any of the other "alternative" OS's are not easy enough for the novice computer user to be able to grasp to accomplish the simple things that can be done with windows. Also when Linux does reach that point of userfreindlyness will the millions of dollars that are needed too advertise it be available so that people can find out and have the choice of a different Os.
