I'm typically more mobile than my contacts, so I prefer this over "texting".
Isn't this going to be decided mostly by people "voting with their dollars" or their feet or eyeballs (insert your favorite body part here).
Are any major players fighting adoption? Other than a proprietary service or one that a competitor can start giving away for free, they will make money regardless of which medium is used.
A $9 delta in choosing which Pentium to test? I'd be more interested in speed and power
consumption comparisons within the same platform.
And instead of blindly running Prime95 to drain batteries (AMD using 33% more wattage)
why not show actual work accomplished? Prime 95 marches through nearly twice as much
computations per battery cycle. You're reviewing laptops here.
As far as the Windows platform goes, it doesn't run on 64 bit Windows or Windows 2000.
WIN2K can't be compatibility reasons -- maybe its release date of 01/00 instead of 10/01
Since the wide cross-section of webpage statistics I view always seems to show 97% of the browsers having this enabled, the "solution" is a non-issue.
The people I've set up who care about safer browsing have accepted my turning off
Javascript in IE6 and leaving it on with Firefox. They are free to choose whichever.
And if a webpage cannot display with either client -- they don't need to got there.
1991 - NEC puts flashable BIOS on their 20MHz 386 machines
1992 - NEC puts a flash-disable jumper on their 386SX motherboards (defaults to block)
1995 - Korean student kills BIOS chips with CIH virus
1996 - Korean Army (his new employer) basically says boys-will-be-boys
2000 - Phoenix Technologies* BIOS drops visible files on desktops of fresh Windows installs.
2001 - Slashdot users discuss thisfor a few days and it goes away for 5 years.
And sell the undelete program in a separate auction.
I've puchased games in the past because I knew a fix would allow me to play on 2 machines.
Why won't Sony and others let the market decide DRM -- release the same CD both ways.
I suppose the one you copy would be $120 and the one you cannot would be around $12
It sure wouldn't be the other way around with $12.00 unprotected and $1.20 protected:
in the history of copy protection, nothing ever goes down in price with a supply monopoly!
Everything makes perfect sense once you repeat to yourself, "DRM is not there for my benefit"
Spend five minutes in a Cingular wireless store and you will see what the average person thinks
when they aren't able to transfer previously purchased ringtones or games to their new phones.
FINAL PARAGRAPH:"The real goal is to make users come back, and to
have them come directly to your site instead of clicking on expensive ads."
I get nothing from his article other than a conclusion that "advertising works."
I don't click on related sidebars or banner ads, and couldn't tell you the last one
I saw unless it was an annoying popover from a site I'll make a point to never visit.
Try ignoring traditional media images on tv and billboards, or a new product jingle.
Then it's time for a 6-pack... tomorrow I'm setting the alarm ahead one hour, and hitting the snooze button every ten minutes.
And to think I've been waking up just ONCE a day with the sun all these years, when I could be enjoying it in moderation!

Ask your doctor if alarm clocks might be right for you.
My Antivirus progam was catching these WMF exploits well before this patch was released
You can log in to Yahoo webmail for the first 8 hours of a major outbreak
and still download known=bad attachments.
Hotmail webmail currently blocks 49 file extensions, but WMF is allowed.
And last time I looked, Norton's 7.x and 8.x Corporate clients show new
DATs available once a week on Wednesdays only after 5pm EST. Hell,
Symantec had to get their own house in order last week (RAR) anyway.
In 1992, Quicktime 1.0 (for Windows kids games) hosed Soundblaster 16 under Windows 3.0
In 1993, Quicktime 1.5 (for Windows multimedia) messed up Soundblaster 32 and Windows 3.1
By 1994, Quicktime 1.6 (shipped w/CDROMS) screwed DOS AWE-32 sound under WFW 3.11
By 1995, Quicktime 2.0 (for Internet audio) locked up legacy 16 bit audio drivers for Windows 95.
If I didn't know any better, I would swear Apple was trying to get users to switch operating systems!
At some companies the people have office pools to guess the delivery date of expectant employees.
At my work, a long running pool is for when TiVo or DVD will finally outpace VHS tape recording.
Consensus is... we're years away, not months. The reports of DVD's death are greatly exaggerated.
affect both the battery life of the mouse itself AND the battery life of the laptop

this is only a question about the industry in which you work
Aerospace is my industry.
Analyst is my job title.
I always just pick the first choice on every pulldown menu. Except after 9/11 when doing free viruscans:
No need getting your IP address eventually targeted as that of an Aerospace Analyst in Afghanistan.
Why did Symantec verify officially that this bug was present before fixing it?
And with it already being Christmas Eve in India, who's going to fix it quick?

Open that little WinTel laptop from Dell

If you can handle the truth... the 1980s Superman was too small for theatres.
They were to have a hologram image come through the screen into the audience,
but at 60" the image was too puny for Hollywood. No guessing, no rumor, just fact.
they do keep good track of... the assignee or "owner" of each issued patent.
In the year 10BI (before Internet) there were more government-registered patent agents and examiners in Cincinnati
than the combined bottom half of the 50 states.
The "new and improved" list of new monthly patents should read:
1. ALWAYS
2. BOUNCE
3. CHEER
4. DAWN
5. ERA
6. GAIN
7. DOWNY
8. GLEEM

It would be one thing if these guys were trying to swap service-for-service. But, inevitably, they want tangible assets.
By the time you've been offered 2 front-row tickets in exchange for product, you wish the wrath of the IRS on them.
Too close to John Lovitz playing Picasso in the SNL sketches where restaurants get napkin scribbles instead of cash.

Are we talking OSHA sanctioned horseshoe variety seats, or the unapproved ones shaped like doughnuts?
