Now with it's two wide screens they will finally listen to my demands for it to play two movies at the same time! or watch a movie on the top wile playing an old 1 screen game on the bottom, the options are endless mwaahahahha!.... seriously two screen even bigger... don't really see how this is going to improve their sales, they might as well make a four screen device...
As much as I love those games, I just have to say that's a bit out of line even for my standards, and I'm used to summoning stuff in sim city and killing countless people (I call it population control) in a game, but to see faces and to be slaughtered they way they were.... just seems wrong to me.
It's like when someone slaps you in the face later admitting the reason you have a black eye is because you failed to follow instructions rather than it being the person's fault who hit you.
I don't care what why or how, but apple get the choice on whether or not they will let applications run on their iphone Google can complain all they want just like the hundreds of people who get rejected too in the end they've got their own phone to deal with.
I'd bet on it killing it's self. I've worked with wireless (WiFi) for 5 years implementing them in RV parks, Hotels, and Apartment complexes. There are a lot of issues with just the nature of wireless that cause people to fret away from it.
One of the first reasons is there's no seamless way to roam from one access point to another, if it were possible to shell out a few thousand dollars and make all access points go to one gateway using a fiber optic underground network, then it "might" stand a chance but yet again you'll run in to the problem of your radio's not being aggressive enough to roam from one AP (access point) to another on the customer's side. Me and a few of my coworkers in the past have tried many different methods of making it seamless only making it 'kinda seemless' by using 2-3 different radios.
Second reason, is the very nature of wireless it's self, this 2.4ghz, or even 5ghz isn't good with distance as well with going in/around objects that get in it's way, You could be in an RV with an AP less than 20 t, with a 10+ db radio and get 1 bar of signal, but move to a window and it'll go to 4-5 bars? Buildings aren't made to let WiFi go through it. Being in Portland and watching their wireless city project die was sad but they couldn't shell out the support they would need in order for everyone to get connected, and stay connected. We're talking hundreds of brick buildings with very tiny windows. I'm sorry the makers of WiFi never expected it to ever be used in a city-to-city setup, and that my very well caused it to die. Wimax, and G4 networks, are made to tackle city's and City WiFi will never compair.
You can't see everything 100% remotely, last time I checked not everyone has the newest equipment at their houses so it's up to the customer to tell the provider there is something wrong. If only there were camera's watching everyone cable's and way for companies to see what's going wrong. We wouldn't be having this discussion. however you have to think, comcast might not have installed the cable that comes to your house/apartment and if the services worked then the tech who installed it left they Comcast wouldn't have any idea there was a problem until someone informed them there was one. It's just like being a tech keeping the whole company's computer working 100% you can monitor and install everything remotely but there are times when a GPU might fail and the remote tests won't pick it up so you have to have the user inform you of the issue.
All problems are different for every network. There's a reason they have a Tech term called squirrel chew. Those little guys have it out for Comcast and other cable companies alike.
Of course, Comcast is now also trying to manage their consumers' DNS responses a bit heavily, too. I just hope
I can find a workaround under Linux for it.
Or you could click on the Opt out link on their website That worked for me.
I see you must live in one of those areas where the network sucks. Because I live in an area where it's never sucked. So... it's the same with Qwest, At&t, Verizon, and Earth link, There are always going to be good parts and bad parts. The only downside is if you don't tell the company how on earth are they going to know?
What are you talking about, They already Own E! and a few other station and those are used on other cable/satellite companies. They are just making sure that anytime a competitor makes money they are apart of it. It's like Microsoft buying stock in all of it's less competitors, and same with apple buying stock in Microsoft. They are trying to branch out their resouces so they get have a greater flow of cash to keep them self's in business. It's kind of anoying to think people see other companies as giants and that they wan't to take over the world or something.
I have an MSDN Universal account and have played with each version of Win 7. I do like it much better than Vista. In fact, I have never used Vista for production work. Win 7 is a nice clean update and I give three cheers to MS for that.
I'm sorry but how can you compare vista with win7 if you say this? I've used Vista and XP in running production for years, I was happy with XP with no SP and SP1, after SP2 it just started to become bloated *sure it fixed security holes. but it's nothing a kick ass firewall and not downloading pirated shit from the internet won't compare too.* However, I've played around with Win 7 enough to see there is a huge difference in the way they run, granted I'll agree with everyone and say it's comparative to 2000 vs XP but this is more like them fixing something that should have worked in the first place, rather than appealing to the in crowd and making the GUI more Shinny.
Two things I see here are problems, First one is the fact you should have just gone open source with your Group Policy management, and second was the fact you were using dell laptops, I've owned 1 dell computer that I've purchased (never to be done again) and have used more than 20 of them in a work environment. I'm sorry their laptops are made with crap on the inside and aren't worth any amount of money you'd be putting in to them. so the fact you have them do Random core dumps, was because of the brand name "dell" on it, not because of the OS.... okay... well maybe the OS is little to blame, but still!
As much as I would love to call your website "little" getting over a billion visits, I would like to know the 319ish people still using a Dreamcast to surf the internet with, let alone visit this website with.... The fact DOS has more site visits thatn Windows 16bit, is just awesome...
When you take a look at computers from a movie's perspective such as Tron you can see all the reason why we having so many issues with error rates being high it's just the programs not wanting to work with each other. ECC Is nice for Servers and big data crunchers who can't have an error except once every million or ten bytes. If you're willing to shell out the cash for it more power to you. But 80% if not more of the computer users don't even notice issues the errors because they almost never end in a blue screen of death. Personally I blame it all on Microsoft
I under stand the use of redundancy and the costs of having routable IP addresses from more than one ISP it costs money. But the best solution that I can think of that's cost effective is to use a Dual WAN or Multi WAN device called a PePLink http://www.peplink.com/
This device allows you to use two or more internet connections at one time. The only draw back is you can't use them on top of each other, like if you were to get two blended T1's ( 1.544 + 1.544 = 3.088) at one time. Where the PeP link will let you use a type of QOS so you can set priories to one connection for downloading, maybe that Cable or FiOS connection, and then use the DSL or other connection for mostly everything else. It's got a nice fail over as well, so anyone just browsing the internet won't really notice a thing when one of the lines goes down.
You should never have to worry about a single point of falure, not even ISP's, Good luck and I hope this helps.

Thank you for letting me know about those mistakes It must bug you just as badly as when i see people incorrectly do their tax forms.
