I can't help but to think that the idea of using a clickwheel to "dial" the phone like in the days before many Slashdotters were born is kind of funny. Even if it's not the preferred dialing method, someone's gotta do a dialing hack for it.:)
Presumably the smartcard that you can use to tune your cable company's digital cable offering without using their box, which was mentioned in the article.
If you've got a town 40km from the nearest moderate-sized town, that's 29 repeaters. How much revenue do you think they'd be pulling in from way-out-there hicks? Enough to pay for 29 repeaters?
Sensory features include a vision color system that enables Robosapien V2 to recognize objects and skin tones; he can wave when he sees you and reach out to shake your hand.

Airbus's new jumbo jet is causing amazing amounts of new tech, including things like developing landing gear that can hold the plane up and not punch right through the runway upon landing.
It's nice to see a corporation using its lawyers to defend its customers when giving in would have very little effect on their bottom line, and perhaps smaller than the legal fees.
Hell, I'd be happy with seeing that there's a crazy Nova special I didn't realize was on, and log into my set-top box with a web browser from work and tell it to record it. Transcoding would be nifty, yeah, but just getting the bits on and off would be great.
I have a Happauge WinTV-PVR 150 card in my WinXP box and I don't know if it's the card or the software, but I'm not impressed. Of course, I could Remote Desktop in to record a show, but ick the Happauge scheduling software sucks.
Shows how different of a position they're in than Qwest, who pushed off its DSL customers to MSN, sold off cell phone assets, and doesn't even seem to be selling long distance aggressively...
I signed up with Vonage a bit under a year ago. When I did, it was $34.99/mo for unlimited US&Can calling. Twice since then, they've dropped it $5/mo. I don't know if it's a matter of their costs dropping with economies of scale or to compete with the cable companies rolling out their own, but I must say that I love the reduction in cost without any reduction in wonderful service.
I know that this is Slashdot, and nobody RTFAs, but I linked to the page with the specs.

If you access your box via telnet, you have other security issues to work on which are probably far more worrysome.
Have you tried kernelupdate.kernel.org?

Oh, wait. This is Linux. You'll have to reply to 5-10 questions before we can offer an answer.

Of course I meant 39

I think that's pretty f'ing amazing.
Do you want them supported for political reasons?
Archos is making its decisions for commercial reasons.
The article appears to be saying that the hacks are in downloadable components like pre-set-up homes with the magic espresso machines.

If Microsoft adds an anti-spyware tool free to Windows, how long until Mario Monte declares MS's move as an illegal monopolistic practice?

Yes, but networkBoy was saying that no PCs could pump out a gigabit/sec to the wire.
