  8. Re:Tours to the North Pole??? on Water On The North Pole · · Score: 1

    Not sure what the company was, but i saw a news magazine (cant remember if it was 60 minutes, 20/20, etc.)piece about a russian company that has regular trips there. They use a nuclear-powered icebreaker to get there and once they are there they do all sorts of things. Walk through all 24 time zones in 24 steps, cut a hole in the ice and jump in, and a few other things. I think the trip cost about 10,000USD but i cant remember the company.

  12. Re:@home on Houston DSL users File Lawsuit Against SBC · · Score: 2

    They have? Here (southern california, USA) we get 3Mbit down and 256kbit up. But since the GI SB3100 cable modem uses compression, you can get higher (Ive actually gotten 10Mbit down and 800Kbit up. The modem will do 39Mbit down, but the the 10BT port kinda cuts it.) Also, in september they (local cable company) will be releasing Cox@Work which is designed for buissness. 10 Mbit each way, the "modem" is a cisco router and you can run all the servers you want. If only i could afford it ($250/mo is the estimated price)

    Merging ICQ and AIM would be a huge pain in the ass. AIM deals with unique names and ICQ deals with unique numbers (hence UID). What would you do? Make all the ICQ users get new names? Assign numbers to the AIM users? The bottom line is it just wouldnt work.

    We're only including Windows 98SE and Windows 2000, and we're leaving out Windows 95 and 98 because, let's face it, they're 2+ years old. RIDICULOUSLY SLOW RELEASE SCHEDULE.

    If they were reviewing (sp?) Windows, i think it would be proper to only review the latest versions. I dont know what version of the linux kernel was out 2 years ago, but i presume is was 2.0.x or 0.x. Do you want them to review these? No. So what are you complaining about? They only review recent versions of products?
