AMD gave them a run during the 1GHz era but Intel is now ahead of the competition. I'm sure that the competition helped Intel reach this billion mark faster than it would have without competition. AMD with its once faster and cheaper chips helped lower the prices of Intel chips. Competition is good for the consumer. Let's see what happens with Intel's prices now that there're on top.
I haven't been able to find anything interesting on shortwave. It's neat to be able to hear stations from all over the world, but that novelty wears out pretty quick. All I hear are religious and non-English shows. Are all the good shows non-English? Dang it, another $200 bucks down the toilet. Maybe I can buy a few more and make a beowulf cluster...
I want a raw, live webcast. If "alien-made" objects show up, I want to see it! Demand that they land on the Face of Mars! Whoever lands on the face first wins.
In college, I worked part time in the computer lab supporting Macs and Apple ][s. In those days no one used the PC lab for writing papers because WordStar sucked in comparison to MacWrite. No one used the Apple ][s either but I one day taught a girl to use the Apple ][ to write a paper since there was a waiting list for the Macs. She loved not having to wait, so I sold her the one sitting in my closet for the previous 4 years. I had to hold her check ($250 USD) for about 6 months before she had enough money for it clear but what perfect timing. I got rid of that thing as the Mac Plus was becoming popular.
If only I can do this timing thing with the stock market...
My first program was written on the Apple ][ in the summer before my senior year in high school. Too bad I have no evidence of it. I couldn't afford the $500 floppy drive and the damn audio tape deck was unreliable. You could hear the screeching on the tape but you couldn't tell if it saved correctly. It sure did make you program more efficiently because you didn't want to write a lot and lose it when you turned off the power. Man, those were the days.
The case immediately exposes the four defendants to legal action.
The nytimes.com and news.com articles don't say anything about why these 4 guys are being singled out. What about all the other millions of guys out there using P2P to swap music? Are they just trying to make a guy feel left out?
There have been a bunch of flaws already stated (i.e. no live pause, poor reception). However, there is one major feature missing for the timed recording. You can't set it to record multiple shows on a different band (i.e. AM and FM) or frequency (i.e. 650AM and 101.9FM). You can only set one band/frequency and the time for record. This is a basic function that any VCR can do yet it is missing here....Yeah, this is fine for those who listen to just one station.
I'm not trolling, but how are people using the Internet portion of the Sidekick? I can see people using the phone function but the T-Mobile prices are pushing unlimited Internet access. I understand the need for accessing the web every now and then while away from the desk computer but do you need so much wireless Internet access that you need a flat price for it?
I don't see myself using $30/month worth of wireless Internet on a small screen in addition to a broadband connection. So is this a niche product or am I missing something?
That would be great if it happened seamlessly. But what happens if the buyers figure they get a cheaper price the closer C&W get to pulling out? Big companies and other users can have a huge loss of connectivity if this doesn't work out right. It's pretty scary if your business survival depends on being connected.
What's going on with pirates? Don't they know about Peer-to-Peer software? Until P2P software came about you had to search all over the net or ask around and be-friend Doods on IRC.
Damn, it's much easier to pirate now. If piracy is going down, it just shows how unresourceful pirates have become. Come on Doods. Let's all P2P and get those statistics up. Don't be a laggard!
Palm certainly doesn't want Handspring for their Visor line. There isn't much value to that. I don't believe there is anything on the Handspring Visor line has that Palm doesn't already have or couldn't add on their own.
In fact, Handspring announced in January 2002 that they would discontinue the Visor line when they were coming out with their Treo Communicator (cell phone) line. My guess is that Palm wants to get into the cell phone business. What else does Handspring have to offer? Would you want a Palm branded reconditioned Handspring Visor?
Remember when Slashdot reported that the State of California got a database hacked and had the identity of all of their government employee's data comprimised?
So with this law, the State of California would notify their employees that hackers have their data. Well, technically they did what they are proposing. Too bad this was after the Sacramento Bee newspaper reported it first! At least they provide a government link for help.
When this law passes, the State of California should sue themselves into compliance!
Where's the free market in programming? If those students are looking for a programming job wouldn't they want to learn the most marketable skill? Damn it, be a programming whore! Ignore the President of India.
As a geek spots a babe wearing this crackling jacket. Hmm...
1. I wonder if she would mind a probe with my pocket volt meter? 2. Is she running Nicads or NiMH? 3. What would happen if I "accidentally" spit on her? 4. I bet I can impress her if I shuffled my feet real fast and shorted her with my super charged static shock.
Huh? She looked like Britney Spear? I didn't notice.

INSTANT BIRTH CONTROL.
Now who's the loser?
I see a need for a tear gas dispenser during fog scenes and I'm not talking about the wimpy consumer protections stuff. I want SWAT riot gear stuff!
The original 4-hour mini-series was great. The following series "jumped the shark."

It's hard enough to install the correct codec now between the different codecs and its various versions. Now we have another one. Argh!!!
There better be some value-added to this one.

Raise your hand if you feel like you've just been called an idiot.

This will finally put to rest the fake moon landing theory/conspiracy.
Or will this be a fake moon base filmed in the deserts of China behind the Great Wall!?
