  1. How long until broadband speeds up for mainstream? on New Internet Speed Record · · Score: 2, Interesting
    How long do /.ers estimate until available broadband will reach speeds such as these for the consumer?

    Less than 10 years?

  2. Re:My 17" PB 1.33 GHZ Powerbook is my favorite... on PowerBooks & iBooks Get Speed Bumped · · Score: 1
    I do notice the noise of the HD more, however, it is not significant. What gets me actually is that I use my book enough to have the fan on majority of the time. It runs HOT! I can even leave the room for 20-30 minutes and return and the fan is still on. I am not one to be bothered by this, but it is the most mechanical feature of the notebook and I don't like running SETI@home or Folding@home all night because I don't like to run the fan 24/7 if you know what I mean...

    The upgrade is good, but I don't like not having the top of the line powerbook. If things go well, though, money won't be much of a problem and I'll upgrade to the 2nd generation G5 powerbook. You and I should be able to last until then, no problem, so I say let the speeds get as high as they can!

    I also upgraded the HDD to a 7200 RPM...the 7k60. God that operation scared me...as it voids the warranty and mine didn't immediately boot up upon reassembly (poorly connected wire that was hard to diagnose).

    I would love to drive an e class. Tell me, do you own one?

  4. My 17" PB 1.33 GHZ Powerbook is my favorite... on PowerBooks & iBooks Get Speed Bumped · · Score: 2

    My favorite possession of all time. I love it more than words can describe and do everything with it. From development in XCode, to Dreamweaver, to manage my music, surf via export extreme at no performance hit, to create music and now (with Final Cut Pro) edit video...check email, play games, and the list goes on and on. It is sexy and it is a work of art, both functional and aesthetic. I have a hard time believing that I could love a car this much...

  5. I have restrained from piracy due to my ethics but on RIAA's Nasty Easter Egg · · Score: 1

    If they raise the price of the song to $2.99, I will pirate more than anyone and set up means to aid the process for others. As someone who has held himself back, this pisses me off. Royally.
