I connect to my work box (sitting on a fat.edu pipe) from my little house in the woods at only 24K. Using (Tight)VNC I have no problems at all checking my Azureus and Emule progress...
56K barely useable?
(I was going to rant about the poster not having enough patience, but if I didn't surf the web on a fat pipe at work every day I would be singing a different tune.)
Some see the bear(I2) and think: cool, I wonder if he can be trained to do something useful.
Others see the bear and think: If I poke 'im with a stick, well that'll be as entertaining as hell!
Some women do not understand that there is no substance anywhere in the world, synthetic or natural, that has the extremely effective skin-softening and gravity-defying effects of your love juices.
At least that's what it said in the pamphlet I made for her...
I used to plop down on the sofa at night afraid I'd "miss something", I would watch my favorite shows (simpsons,futurama,poker) and usually flip around while waiting for the next one.
Now that I have a TiVO (with dual tuner of course), I can look through all of the movies that will be on in the next three weeks and see if I want to watch any of them. I can tell if next week's poker game is one I have seen already, etc.
With sufficient planning, I can come home and play UT2004 or with the wife (no really!) all evening, without the nagging voice in the back of my head saying "there is media you want to be absorbing, and you're missing it!"
I suspect TiVO, by giving people the ability to plan and schedule their own viewing lets them cut out the crap they would usually sit through in the middle of the evening.
I am employed at a research hut by the state government. I get low wages with little room for raises and excellent healthcare. I get to work at the plodding pace of a civil service employee; one without marketing or managers foaming at the mouth at the thought of their next dose of warm and creamy profit.
This sets up an environment where I can potentially be happy.
What makes me "happy" in my current position is that I work in a small shop: located on a State Uni Campus, we are two professors, two data clerks, and two secretaries, and me.
I handle everything computer related, buying new equipment, setting it up, fixing it, backing it up, etc.
The downside? I have to perform data-monkey tasks all of the time: do this in excel, figure out why these numbers don't match.
The upside? When I do coding, I get to use *craft*. Its quiet. Oh so quiet.
Social skills? Bah! I think of myself as "wierd" and antisocial... I also come out looking like the sanest one in the place most often.
This sounds like a wonderful melding of two current technologies... However, remember when cable gained enough steam to warrant not one but many 24hr cable news networks? We are now blessed with an overabundance of crappy sensationalist "reporting". I do NOT want cnn/msnbc/fuxnews/etc. landing on my HD.
If an individual set up a feed for say, a favorite game or movie alone, I would subscribe. But most webpages I read, I gloss over quickly then am done with. If I, and everyone else had subscribtions to all of the media content of their favorite websites delivered autonomously, the majority of it getting thrown out quickly...
think of the bandwith, the poor helpless bandwith, won't somebody please think of the child., er bandwidth!?
Blurb: The overall gameplay element from Cultures 2 that still exists in Northland is in the "Godsim" style of play. You are responsible for watching over and assigning professions to your Viking civilians and building their culture up.

Ditto.
MAC addresses are insecure. Totally.
Campus Firewalls throttling you down because your bittorrent bandwitdth is more than they'd like?
Wanna change your IP address with your broadband DHCP server?
Check out SMAC a nifty MAC address spoofer... don't even have to reboot...
Version 2.0 will have command line! Muwahahaha

Looks damn cool. Guy definitely has some talent.
Now if it would only render in FireFox I'd use it.
Opening IE to check the news is like looking at the festering wound on your wrist to check the time....

What is the deal with Kevin Rose? His TV persona is silly, and the stuff he shows in his screensavers segments are far from 'leet.
But who is he really? Now he is working as a paid actor. I keep hearing how he "used to work at the Dept. of Energy".
Anybody know what he did there? How are this dude's GEEK CHOPS as it were?
