  1. Re:Just like the death of the LP! on Record Labels Struggle With the Album's Demise · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The music business has forgotten its past. When it first started in the US, during the Tin Pan Alley days in Manhattan in the late 1800s, it was selling single songs. Now all it has to do is fire the executives that are loading down these companies with their excessive salaries and bonuses, get back to the days of promoting and selling single songs. The days of single sided 78s and two sided 45s are back.

  2. Re:Death? on IBM and Fuji Announce Tape Storage Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Wonder why no one posted that actual release from the Almaden research site for a better review of what was accomplished. IBM Researchers Set World Record in Magnetic Tape Data Density

  3. Re:Some minor defenses... on The Problems with Broadband in America · · Score: 1

    .. and the Dolans will make you pay dearly for it.

  4. Cablevision service nightmare on 50Mbps Cable Launched on Long Island · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Never believe anything Cablevision writes or says, it'll be just smoke and mirrors. Had the "service" and anytime there was a hiccup, no connection, smtp service down, long delays in response, their "tech support" ws nowhere to be found. That is if you can actually get a live person to answer the "customer Service" or "Customer Support" phone lines. I wouldn't go back to cablevision service even if it was free for ever. Not worth the hassles. Ex cablevision customer from Brooklyn.

  5. Re:Subscription price is wrong on WSJ's Online Subscriptions Outperform Print · · Score: 1

    All the "big wigs" here carry their WSJ from their morning rail commutes but also have online.wsj.com as their Home site. Much much easier to do searches wia a browser than leafing through print, also the fingers and white shirts stay clean of newsprint ink.

    IBM designed/designs/makes/creates/fabricates the PowerPC chips and chipsets

  7. Re:Powerline broadband? on Rewriting Rules on Delivery of the Internet · · Score: 1

    The article fails to state that many power line/supply companies have been buring allong their access ways 'lines of fiber'. So plugging into an outlet is a misleading idea the FCC is promoting, to the betterment of those power companies that are drowning since the Enron Catastrophe.

  8. Re:We're all on the internet here, remember? on IBM Supporting Linux On Power Processors · · Score: 1

    The situation metlin (258108) states is that IBM will create specialized equipment for businesses that relate a need for it. This equipment will not be for general sale and those not in the transaction will not know of it. Not even divisions inside IBM itself. An example would be the old Deep Blue equipment created for a purpose and not known of until IBM publizied it. All customer contracts are closed so there are many interesting computing/networking devices IBM has created that no one, outside the company/org that purchased it, will ever know of.

  9. Re:Reliability? on 4GB HD in Under an Inch · · Score: 1

    Purchased a IBM Microdrive 340MB with PCMCIA Adapter Type II ( PCcard )for my laptop in 2000. Have been through hell with it in transit over last 4 years. Still doing its job. No complaints.
