Scientists say each paper-thin device could store more than a gigabyte of information - equivalent to 1,000 high quality images - in one cubic centimetre of space.
The packaging, however, will be the size of an average storm door.
Yes, it was the strictly low-end residential tariff they are pushing that I was referring to. Thx for adding info to the discussion.
Something curious is that according to a study done for the Flordia Public Service Commission titled Broadband Services in the United States - An Analysis of Availability and Demand of the 4 majors, SBC has the largest percent subscription to broadband services - 5.9% as the "Customer Take Rate" taken from 1.5M Broadband Subscribers out of 25.6M Homes Passed. That's over Verizon, Bellsouth, and Quest. I guess the market is saying that their prices are quite reasonable.
The study is a bit dated (2002 Q1 figures), but it has pretty graphs and lots of info for those so inclined.
Yes, and with SBC residential service (think Chicago), don't forget to mention the obligatory Yahoo! crappy software interface. Oooops. I meant "co-Branding".
Excellent point on averages and the passage of time. On the bright side, the cost of ficken sharks with fricken laser beams will be driven well beyond the means of the average meglomaniac microwave tycoon.
.. and in other news, a small accident today at the San Onofre Microwave Reception Center has toasted a busful of far too curious 7th graders from San Ronaldo Reagano Middle School. The boys were apparently warned multiple times not to urinate on the ground beyond the painted red line of the Target Zone, claims a SOMRC spokesperson.
How aware are the search engines of each other? These returns are pages found searching in these search engine databases for themselves and others. Google and Yahoo rather casually mention the number of pages returned, prefaced with "... of about..."; while AltaVista and Lycos are considerably more anal about reporting quantitative findings.
e.g. Lycos found 22,483,511 pages mentioning Google, while only about half that many mention itself (Lycos). Perhaps this leads to poor search engine self-esteem issues.
Further exercises in pointless database introversion are left to the reader.
In what can only be attributed to a bout of acronymic jealousy the FAA today proposed implementing a "Please Call Me" list. Initial subscribers will be the lonely FAA controllers banished to far-off places for whistle-blowing, but will be expanded soon to include the sick, infirmed, bedridden, heartbroken, homebound, lovelorn, and those under house arrest. Later, the list may also include the just plain bored, except for the telemarketers. "We hate those guys!", claimed Brian Sinclair, an FAA spokesperson. "Sometimes they call on the Red Phone, and we have to put our cards down and go answer it. It is the red phone, ya know. And it scares the bejeebers out of us when it rings."

On the faceof American bank notes is the phrase:
This note is legal tender
for all debts, public and private
I think you only have to start worrying if this phrase disappears.
Yeah... I voted for about 20 years in Orange County, FL. What those paper markup ballots lack is privacy. Though one uses the privacy-screened three-card-monty tables to actually mark the paper ballot, positioning them to be slurped up by the counting machine is problematic. Though a rediculously long and narrow manila file folder is provided to screen your ballot as you position it to be sucked into the reader, it rarely works, and one is forced to remove said ballot from the folder, thus exposing it and its markings to the precinct worker minding the counting machine.
I got sneers from the yokel in my East Orange County precinct, as I was one of a handful who did not vote for the shrub last time.
Gareth Edmundson-Jones, a spokesman for JetBlue, would neither confirm nor deny the company's involvement, saying only, "That's not public information."
Does anyone else see the irony in this? Their corporate policy information is private, but they had no problem making our private information public. What damn EULA did I fail to read this time?
I don't see any red/green navlights to indicate unambiguoiusly who has the right of way when more than 1 of these vessels is present on the water. That means either there is only going to be one of these things, or that the operators will simply drive without regard to public safety, just like land-based sports cars. Do they have to turn on their blinkers when coming about? Can their seat cushion be used for a Personal Floatation Device[tm]? Boy, does this thing ever stretch the envilope.
Mr Oppenheim also said the RIAA was immume from rules on unreasonable searches on the internet, because it did not have links with law enforcement agencies.
Does this guy know what he said? Because he's not the police he can do illegal things like what is tantamount to a wiretap? What a hoser.
I think they try and spook a suspect into incriminating themselves by announing a pending arrest. Ideally, the suspect will be duped into calling Angelina Jolie thus conveniently flagging his guilt, and giving away his movie rights simultaneously. Laura Croft III, Kernal Raider is thusly launched.

My pre-teen son, who is rather PC savy, when first encountering WinXP refered to it as "My First Windows" due to its horrible cartoonish, pre-school looks. He was just waiting for a dialog box to pop up saysing "Do you want to click here?" with a button that said "Click Here" underneath it.

will this also be, um, "to be too cheap to meter"?
I know which finger I would use.

You are so right. I've always been bothered by the simplistic marketing term "consumer".
I think maybe "chooser" is a better euphemism than consumer.
More on topic, goodbye civilized fair use, hello MPAA copyright huns.
I just downloaded a WinXP "patch" - better chalk up another exabyte.
Yes, here in the Windy City[tm] we have a long history of fair and balanced (*cough* fraudulent) voting.
Why, our systems are so foolproof and easy to use that being dead is no reason to miss an important election!
No. IANA pointed to APNIC, and APNIC has as members: http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/memlist.pl?size=&cc =au&sort=random
Curiously timed hacking attempt into my Chicago network router this weekend,
originating from an APNIC IP.
Perhaps they don't like the Cubs.

If we have to watch movies like the turds mentioned, then the terrorists have won.
