Yes, because all these people that have purchased the Macintels due to all the hype that's been circulating these news sites aren't having ANY problems with them! haha. half of the applications they used to run with great speed and efficiency now run like ASS because they do not have universal binaries STILL!
Within a month of the Sierra PC5220 aircard being released, a driver was hacked together for it. I am sure there will be some hacked together driver pretty quick after release, but i'm sure the manufacturer will not support Linux, even thought it probably still has a higher desktop use percentage than osX
I have been using Verizon's EVDO service by putting a pcmcia card into a pci-pcmcia adapter in my server, and enabling dhcp to share the connection out to other machines. I guess USB would be convenient for somebody, but most portable devices have a pcmcia slot...
I feel the exact opposite about older games.
Going back and playing Legend of Zelda or Super Mario Bros. or Castlevania I and II, they were a lot more entertaining than a lot of the boring run and shoot games now.
actually ken's kick range is a bit further when he does the TET TET TAROOOKEN or whatever that spin kick is, and other than that he is the same exact design as ryu
I am currently using Verizon Cellular Broadband on the EVDO network. I transfer about 20-30GB a month in data and pay a flat fee of $79. Granted this is using an aircard and a full network of PCs but im sure they will offer unlimited bandwidth at rollout
Windows XP will run faster on older hardware than 2000 will. Windows 2000 is a resource hog, and even after killing most of the services will not run on a 500mhz machine with 128MB of ram very well. If you kill services in XP Pro and turn off the visualization, XP Pro will run a whole hell of a lot faster than 2000 on the same hardware.
As a Verizon EVDO BroadbandAccess user, I have had no problems since the surrounding towers went live. I am averaging about 800kbps with top end at about 1400kbps. On the upstream im averaging about 240kbps-300kbps. I use the PC5220 Aircard with an external antenna. The only downfall is the latency, which has average pings of 100ms to yahoo, google, etc. But I live in the country, and cellular broadband is the only option, as cable and dsl are not available to me. I use about 10 pcs at any given time and for web browsing and vpn use it suits our needs.
Here is just one site found while searching for "linux exploits" on google. There are more exploits for a fresh Linux install than a fresh Windows install out of the box, it's been proven. Once you tighten up security and tweak it out, it's very secure. But on that same note, the same can be said for windows. If you kill all the unnecessary services and firewall it, it's secure.
i see nothing but flamebait throughout most of these replies, but they are being marked "Interesting". If i post a dissenting view it will probably be marked FLAMEBAIT. I don't think Violent Video games or Pr0n should be sould to minors, it really CAN mess a kid up. Also, for those who say "whaa whaaa itd be an invasion of a CHILD's privacy to snoop and see if they are downloading violent video games" that's bullshit. Kids don't have rights, they are not adults. When they can vote, they are old enough to make their own decisions, until then the parents need to be parents and stop being held hostage by all the hippy liberals that are morally perverted.
i wouldnt trust my security to linux... if youre just trying to keep honest people honest, the built in windows firewall works fine, if you are REALLY worried about hackers attacking your network and stealing/damaging intellectual property, a linux firewall is as good as not there.
after tweaking and tweaking for hours on end, I managed to get my direcway satellite internet connection to go round trip in 450ms. i can't imagine shaving too much more off of this, maybe 350ms assuming better equipment on the other end.

The problem with Costa Rican women is that they are hot until about 27 and then start turning into some of the ugliest human beings ever.
Bagoogly! Bonk bonk banana spamarama! omg BAGOOGLY

Pretty soon every computer you buy is going to have an ECS motherboard in it!
dear lord i hope not! the return rate on ECS boards at my work is like 70% due to defects!
No
No.
I wasn't aware that Mac OS X 10.4 was for PC? go figure

I'm pretty sure that the right to 80211.x is stated right there in the second paragraph
hmm i thought the topic was canadian music piracy
Is there really any Canadian music WORTH pirating? Let's be honest here Canada :)
the ones who wouldn't take the survey because they didn't want to lose points in Everquest? i'm sure there's another 5-10% out there

a fresh linux load is not without it's inherent security flaws. demonizing Windows is easy, but doesn't make it worth talking about.
