  1. Re:IBM Thinkpads are the same way on BIOS-Approved PCI Cards For Laptops · · Score: 1
    At least then people wouldn't get 'used' to having mod points every 2-3 weeks.

    3 weeks? I metamod daily and get mod points every 3 days!

    Unless you see some of my friends write in English (don't know how/whether they'll pass PET)

  3. Re:The PSX does most of on Intel to Market PCs as Home Entertainment Hubs · · Score: 1
    if you have a family, different members of the household want to be doing different things at the same time

    In that case it does get more complicated, but it can be done with terminals. They could look like a stereo front, a TV remote control (and base) or keyboard and monitor. The change is inside

    Exactly. I've been doing this for years now. Literally. Of course I'm a geek, and I recognize it's not for general public yet.

    Precisely, the general public is harder to target. I think the main dificulty is display.

    I also think our phone lines are more suited for ADSL. However, I heard from someone that, even though the infrastructure is good, there was something almost prehistoric.

    Knowing some plane theory, I agree with the oil point. Also, a needle or progress bar (as stated on other message) would be better than the number, because you don't need to look directly at it to get an estimation. If you tried digital depth meters in a boat, you'll realize that the jumping number is harder to read than an analog representation.

    The people in charge of security on those networks should *not* have their jobs if that's what is going to happen


    Don't expect every company in the 3rd world (nor 1st, I guess) to have people dedicated to network security. Worms get here, they do unnecesary damage and, even though we have protection, it is HIS responsability for causing damage to OTHER PEOPLE's information which doesn't belong to HIM. What HE is doing is, instead of doing something USEFUL, he's destroying the work of PEOPLE who are.
