Check out 8x8's videophone. I saw a demo of this at their Santa Clara, CA office -- it's really cool. I have their VoIP service -- these guys are just really cool. Check it out.
Believe it or not, pretty much all the UC schools believe in freedom of information on the university reshall networks. They mostly take a hands-off stance on the content and will generally only intervene if it's affecting network performance or they get a specific complaint about a user.
This really isn't news. UCSB instituted the same policy starting January of 2001. As a result, all the P2P (napster being the most popular at the time) was dropped to less than a Megabit, while everything else was left functional. All of a sudden, ssh sessions and first person shooters became real-time again... UCSB's information about it is at http://www.resnet.ucsb.edu/information/bwinfo.htm. For the most part, all UCs are taking this stance and each of them are slowly acquiring Packeteer units.
So hypothetically, what if the media buys out BOTH sides to support such a bill, if one should exist in the future? Who do we support? Do we look at the state of S. Carolina and scratch our heads, picking out the better of two evils? Mind you, the better of the two evils will still be evil...
So if we get the better of two evils elected, what will the media say when said evil introduces a similar bill? Do they say that "Obviously, the geek community has endorsed *this* candididate with *his* bill," thereby sealing our fate?
I believe.gov and.mil should stay the way it is. With the amount they spent on initial infrastructure, they should at least get the privledge of keeping those two nice TLDs.
Heh heh... MPEG... streamable... riiiiiiight. Sorry, I'm not blessed with a connection capable of streaming a 1.15Mbit VCD quality MPEG file. I like my 300kBit/sec Windows Media files, thanks.
Please tell me you're kidding. The largest consumer LCD panel in mass production is 1600x1200, and THAT itself would cost you over a thousand dollars, alone. The best you could hope for is SXGA -- 1280x1024, and even that will cost you big. You can't want everything, you know.
Well duh, you're already excluding Sun from the market it performs best in -- the high performance market where *shock* they DO use 64-bit processing. Just because *you* don't need it doesn't mean there don't exist people that do.
While YOU may not want those features, guess what? A lot of consumers do. And no, you are NOT Joe Consumer, no matter how much you try to convince yourself that you are. Believe it or not, a majority of consumers do, indeed, like that kind of personal touch to their webbrowsing. In the grand scheme of things, your kind of people are a significantly smaller percentage compared to the rest of the population.
I interned for IBM, too (1997). Most of the patents I saw going through my group really were for intelligent things. IBM is the king of patents because the hire really smart people... Swear to god.
They're too hard to make. The yield on SXGA LCD panels are already very low. The yield on 1600x1200 and higher LCD panels are exponentially lower. Imagine how hard it is to make a 21" 1600x1200 LCD panel with a halfway decent yield...
What I would really like to know is how you managed to monitor your PG&E usage. If you could let us know, the rest of us in the Bay Area would love to be able to monitor our power usage, too.
We ran a Counter-Strike tournament at UCSB yesterday. We had just over 20 machines on a 10Mbit Cisco switch, using ~30% utilization... I think you would be just fine with 64 machines on a 10Mbit FD switch.

I dunno, last I checked, BF1942 and Ut2k3 performance were much better on the 9700 than on the gf4...
Hrm? Battlefield 1942? Unreal 2003? Nah.

The acrobat BHO is what lets you read PDFs within IE without needing to spawn a separate Acrobat window. There's nothing really bad in there.
Acrobat (the creater, not the reader, I believe) does have its own "auto-update" system, but it can be disabled in the preferences
hahaha Kindly mod the parent up please :)

These people are relatively few and far between... They certainly pale in comparison to the number of people using it for business purposes.
Could someone PLEASE post a mirror? It looks like their entire site has disappeared... I would really like to try this out. =D
I think you mean "Slow News Year." :)

Understandably developed by IBM, too. IBM hires insane numbers of people for research.

Winamp uses the WMA codec from Microsoft in a binary form. The codec is spawning an IE window, not Winamp. Winamp has no control over that.

Eep. I dunno about you guys, but you'd have to pay me to go to Oakland... some scary stuff going on there...
Very nice... 550kB/sec sustained over Bay Area cable modem.
