i have dsl here, never used cable.. but as far as i heard, cable does not exactly guarantee that juicy fast connections... one friend of mine had trouble with that.. applied for cable and had ~2,5mb for several months... and then the cable company ran a very attractive promotion and he went to only 200k in 2 weeks!
at least with DSl one is sure that he gets an ~constant transfer rate
but very good point about getting rid of the landline phone, that's a nice feature.. although i'm quite sure that soon some telcos will try to enter the traditional cable-programming market.. only to help u get rid of the tv cable;)
In North America, Cable clearly dominates the broadband market... Western Europe and the far East on the other had are overhelmingly betting on DSL.
Is this another stupid "war" like the old GSM vs. CDMA?
Or it's only a simple matter of who owns the connections - cable & media companies in US and Telcos elsewhere?
well, this did sound like a funny XPrize attempt at the beginning.. but after a little wikipedia & co, it sounds a lot different... the romanian aviation school from the precomunist times sounds impressive!!
Traian Vuia (August 17, 1872 - September 3, 1950) was a Romanian inventor, designed and built the world's first self-propelling heavier-than-air aircraft.
Hermann Oberth "considered the foremost authority on rocketry outside the United States."
and
" one of the founding fathers of rocketry and astronautics."
Henri Coanda "In 1910... he designed, built and piloted the first jet-aircraft"
Aurel Vlaicu Romanian engineer and aviation pioneer.
"...his first airplane, the Vlaicu I... extremely well built, stable, and maneuverable. It won him several prizes in international competitions against other aviation pioneers like Roland Garros. "
Gogu Constantinescu "Gogu Constantinescu founded the theory of the sonicity and made the sonic engine. Using an invention of Gogu Constantinescu on a sonicity application, the British military aviation held supremacy during World War First."
"Buzu" Cantacuzeno... ww2 air war ace
"Romania's leading ace, "Buzu" Cantacuzeno, added three German He-111s to the more than 50 Soviet and American aircraft he had shot down."
good luck to the romanian team... and to all other teams

Programming is easy.
Planning is orders of magnitude harder by comparison.
i disagree a bit with this part of your post... they are only different type of problems which require different types of brains and thinking.

few quotes from http://www.ofb.net/~jlm/virus.html "... what's the classical plural of virus? The simple answer is that there wasn't one. The longer answer follows.... Latin already had a word *VIRI*, but it was the nominative plural not of virus (slime, poison, or venom), but of vir (man)... Such hanky panky would certainly get you talked about, and probably your hand slapped as well.
Those confused souls who write *VIRII* are tacitly positing the existence of the non-word *virius, and declining it as though it were like filius.... Virii is still completely silly, so don't do that; otherwise, everyone will know you're just a blathering script kiddie.... Trying to find a plural for something that didn't take a plural... or at least, one for which no plural is classically attested, is a fruitless endeavour. Best to stick with English and use *VIRUSES*. "
i guess we are both strongheaded and none will convince the other, regardless of the arguments.. so lets just stop and hope we did not annoy too many people with this quite offtopic stuff
You're going to have to use facts and reason if you want me to accept your point of view, not whining and multiple quotation marks. my comment above your quote is a FACT and an ARGUMENT.. sorry about the "multiple marks", though
You write things like this because you know very little about business. in fact i know too many things i dont like about this subject
If my restaurant relied solely on word-of-mouth then it would have died in a matter of months. thanks for helping MY argument.. what u say only happens because everybody else uses advertising and people are lazy & dumb... all other "arguments" from this section assume u r the only one that uses word-of-mouth... wrong assumption, wrong conclusion(s)
I don't count myself lucky that I have young, inexperienced people telling me how "simple" it all is. actually im not that young.. and btw, a proud business owner too.... not so many jobs provided but hopefully growing
You have assumed falsely and childishly that anyone advertising is necessarily following a philosophy that they must get rich as fast as humanly possible or die. poor me, thinking that the only scope of advertising is to make more money, faster
Did you also fail to consider that advertising isn't just about irritating your loftiness and filling (hah!) my coffers. It also pays the salaries of the writers, journalists, and editors in the newspapers in which we advertise. Just how did you think that those people got paid? so basically here's your "business model":
"you pay some people to annoy me with your advertising"
and you want me to agree, that's a "good thing"... why stop here with the "good things"? why not paying someone to kill me? cause i bet i'm quite there in annoying u:)
peace... and let's both get some "real life", whatever that means
