however if i'm not mistaken, a band is a set of frequencies which are used for the transmission of information/data/whatever. Broadband IS broader simply because it uses a broader range of frequencies.
it uses a BROADER bandwidth than things like say dialup. It uses a broader bandwidth, not data transmission rate, actual bandwidth. that is why its broad-bandwidth/broadband. its consumers and marketers than confuse bandwidth with higher speed. broadband actually means a broader bandwidth.

Ok, well, this is here to make the lameness filter thing i've removed "junk" characters. I have NO idea what junk characters it wants removed, so... ya. Here is a brick.
However, podcasing makes sense. Its just like broadcasting. Broadcasting = putting something out there in the wide open. Podcasting = putting something out on ipods.
Blogging is simply a shortened term for Web Logging, which means an online journal or record of events.
Broadband is called such because it uses a broader waveband to transmit information (whether its data or voice transmission).
Ok, so they'd have to write a complete Xbox emulator. If I'm not mistaken, such things have/already been written/ to run on/much slower/ PC's
Yes, they are a bit glitchy, but they dont know as much about the internals of the Xbox as MS does, as well as MS has the time and dedication to make such an emulator work.
Emulating the 733Mhz Xbox on a far-superior triple-core 3.2Ghz PPC would be child's play.
If Apple can whip out a way to make the PPC software run at near-native speeds on their new intel boxes, with ENTIRELY different chipsets and such, how come Microsoft with all their crazy engineers cant do something similar to get the i386 code to run on the PPC and work out some sort of translation layer to translate the nVidia to ATI instructions?
This will make fewer people buy the 1st gen, and instead wait for the 2nd gen. Nobody wants to have to pay for an entirely new console to get the HD-DVD functionality. Unless they somehow release an upgrade to the 1st gen boxes, this is REALLY dumb.
Well, lets see here... Its buggy, its non feature-complete.
Lets all get off the must-have-production-version-now mentality and actually have betas and non-1.0 releases BEFORE production releases, to work out the bugs. Do you have any idea how much better Windows would be if it operated like that?:-p

What about those of us who use a CDMA/TDMA only provider?
Ah, ok. I see what you're saying. :-)

My grandparents are weird.
He confused his addition with multiplication.
(-2)(-3) = 6
(-2) + (-3) = -5

I'm pretty sure you're the only one who is pissed.
Grow up, its marketing. Deal with it.
Wifi is an odd term yes.

These do in fact have technical meaning.
I read about this.... months ago. How come its just now on Slashdot?
You see, they're so poor they cant fix their caps lock keys.
Well, saying as its up to the manufacturer to supply drivers, i would say... no.

All latin-based languages are like this (French, Italian, Spanish) and I believe most germanic languages are as well.
Of course its coming out easily, you're using a hydraulic arm designed to manipulate objects with alot of mass. Its very strong.
The RIAA could easily manipulate this to cause legit files to be rated lower.
Works better if you use /dev/urandom
Um, you could upgrade the HD in the PS2 and xbox i think... i dunno, i own neither.

I remember seeing this on Eyes of Nye last night. Any coincidence this shows up the day after? Seems to me the news is somewhat old.
Ah, ok, I forgot that you could use UV to erase the EPROMs.
Thanks for the clarification. Its been forever since I've worked with them.
Well, AFAIK you can't reprogram EPROMs, so you'd have to go get a new EPROM...
But, I think you can reprogram EEPROMs, so lets hope thats what they be
Well, lets see here... Its buggy, its non feature-complete.
