Although most of us are used to Gateway as a home-consumer seller, I think the idea here is to get some l00t out of the many businesses that are embracing Linux for it's stability. Gateway hasn't been doing too well recently. falling stock
"In other news today, SuSe's distribution of the increasingly popular Linux operating system is now selling at an all-time high of $80, how about that for free..."
I think they made it pretty clear that the state is seeking financing from NYC banks andhope to pay back the loan using revenue generated over several years from sale of the fiber optic lines to households at approx. $28/month.
I disagre with your opinion completely. People want faster internet, but it is way too expensive. $30 - $60 bucks every month may not seem like a lot to some, but I think - and consumer statistics will show - that it is too much. At least for what is offered now. I see the problem as being content.
If consumers are not going to be offeredanything more than the usual text and graphic that we see now, then NO, they will not upgrade to broadband. However, and the article points this out, if things like digital tv were streamed over fiber going to your home for $28/month + tax, thereby eliminating the need for a cable-tv bill, therewould be interest. Add to this the growing interest in online gaming, which along wqith gfx cards is constantly pushing the limits of technology to offer awesome entertainment, and it's interactive!
This project is a great challenge to the regressive platforms of existing teleco's. All they are doing is trying to suck every last penny out of half-grade high-speed internet service, while keeping the price of cable tv high (for some the building pays for it).
I was amused by the article hinting that most people connected by dial-up are content with it. This is a load of crap. Most people - I won't say everyone, even though my grandmother wants faster internet - consumers are not paying for high-speed because it's a steal, by the ISPs. THey charge $30 - $60 just to eek out an extra MB or 2 to your connection. And while this makes a notable connection, I think that kind of money shouldmake a hella difference, especially when I can get free dialup from AOL handouts for life.
XML-format document types are only available for corporate versions of MS office
Wouldn't Surprise me a bit. I wa also at the Office 2003 System Launch and MS reps made it clear that the perks of Office 2003 (Which now has some 24 apps, up from 8, many sold separately) are targeting businesses. I was actually impressed with the integration of all the applications, especially SharePoint. In any case, the question was raised about compatibility, and it turns out that much of what the new suite offers is not backwards compatible, like DRM and XML. Microsoft is shooting the moon hoping that all businesses using Office will upgrade to all this new stuff, beginning at around $25,000 for a small business - at a time when mot companies are looking for cheaper alternatives.
Blogs are better because they give what people care about -- your opinions and knowledge -- without the self-advertising
What's wrong with having a website be an expression of oneself? I dislike much of the art I see, but I certainly do not discourage people fom expressing themselves artistically. If everyone had blogs, they would lose their importance and significance as an exchange of ideas, and would become spittoons for restless people's thoughts, which is what I believe/. tries to minimize.
"People" can believe what they want. It is the administrators and the CEOs/CIOs that need to be able to separate the truths from the lies. As long as the threat of losing $millions in security bugs exists, I doubt anyone in those departments can afford to make decisionsbased on marketing campaigns, which are made to sell, not be truthful.
"In the first 150 days after the release of Windows 2000," he said, "there were 17 critical vulnerabilities. For Windows Server 2003, there were four. For Red Hat Linux 6, they were five to ten times higher."

This will prompt "virus writers" to further cloak their sources, making it even harder to bust anyone, while the MS platform remains unsecure.
Uuh...We're at 9 now buddy.
I only wish they would use that toward Illinois schools, considering 44% just failed to test above the minimum standards for math and reading.
