  1. Convesion on Megabytes (MB) or Mebibytes (MiB)? · · Score: 0, Insightful

    We just need to get Sesame Street to start using both these terms correctly, and then the next generation will get it right.

  2. MP3 player on Gadgets of 2002 · · Score: 0, Interesting

    All I want is an MP3 player that has drivers. I have to dual boot, just so I can copy files to my Nomad, what a pain in the butt.

  3. Printing on Making Linux Printing as Easy as in Windows · · Score: 0, Informative

    It is time we stop printing, let the forests survive. Tree's are good, lets more to a paperless system, unless of course you mean printing to a file. :)

  4. Re:shaw in victoria bc on AT&T Caps Bandwidth On Former @Home Users · · Score: -1

    oops, i was wrong or they changed it. From their website:

    Velocity ADSL Plan
    6 GB/month Internet connection traffic (5 GB/month down, 1 GB/month up)

  5. shaw in victoria bc on AT&T Caps Bandwidth On Former @Home Users · · Score: 0, Informative

    i don't use the mail servers or anything like that, so i haven't really noticed a difference. except for the upload cap, but thats several months old. its still a better deal than Telus ADSL with its download limit at 4 GB a month. I can download 1 GB a day or more and shaw has no problems. PS: 56K sucks

  15. Nasty Code on Question gzip Maven Jean-loup Gailly · · Score: 3
