Do schools pay for bandwidth? I know a lot of schools get thiers for free, and those who do pay i'm sure don't have metered systems that cost more the more you use. I figure almost all get a certain amount and pay for that weather they use it all or not. Maybe I'm wrong. So does the bandwidth argument really matter?
I have to agree with this. I found the interface to be fast and easy to work with once you get the hang of it. It just takes some time to read the tutorials and to get to understand how the UI works. It's rather powerful. I for one would hate to see it change.
Yes this is lame but I don't know what to do about it. Do you think anything would change if a whole bunch of people complained? What would it take to get change or a sorry or something along this long.
This bill is intended to curtail LUDE use of the camera. You can still video tape your babysitter as long as you don't film her in the shower and then post it to the net. This bill won't be far reaching and it will be only called upon when it IS ACTUALLY NEEDED. The courts will then have to define lude use. It might reach towards magazines like the Enquirer. This is a good thing. As for the.prn. I think that will be shot down. As someone mentioned, the US is not the internet. We can't regulate a world wide medium.

I've tried different services like this and all performed really well. The hard part is finding good hardware. But it looks like this company is helping out in that department. This could seriously cut down your phone bill if you use the unlimited rate. If they can stay afloat I think the public would really love the service.
But what do the Bells think about this? Here's a service you can buy that's about the same price as theirs, but INCLUDES long distance? I'm sure they will throw a fit if they see a drop in sales or customers jumping ship. Just curious as we might see the giants trying to crush the little guy again.
They make an assortment of products for quiet PC's. One is a heatsink that doesn't require a fan.

About the electric thing, I'm just suggesting some sort of battery pack instead of a chem reaction. If done right small amounts of electricity can generate a lot of heat. If you had a small rechargable pack that could be wrapped around a glass or pan, that would be more useful IMHO.

I hope this thing is extremely reusable, I didn't see much in the way of replacment elements. Oh well...I think some sort of electronic system would be better for these reasons:
1) You buy 1 unit and no replacment filter or whatever.
2) You can keep things continuous warm if near electricty.
3) Adjustable heat levels.
This thing lacks that kinda stuff. I guess if you are willing to cash more cash for something like that it's cool. It would be handy for camping, but isn't a camp fire+pot+water the same thing?
I think the wording says that it is directed at connection services. Your home to the internet. Kazaa doesn't offer that and shoudln't be included. That's what I got from it. If Kazaa offered 19.95 dail-up, that's different.
Ok, it compiles a kernel hella fast. But can it be applied to other stuff. Obviously these fast compiling machines are best for places where you have tons of users compiling all over the place, but will other compilers be as fast?
I think it will find it's place. The renderfarms will be different systems but that's always been the case. The workers will use these boxes in many numbers then send there data off to the farm. These machines are usually not designed for doing the rendering anyway. SGI has a line of systems for that.
I know for a fact TV stations aren't easy to keep in business. Just because biggies like KTLA and the like can stay afloat, doesn't mean the other 90% of the smaller stations can afford to keep up with business. Commericials make up most of a TV stations revenue. The rest is done with making commercials or whatever side business they have. 30 seconds isn't that noticable in your life. The more money the station makes the better everything is. Better shows can be bought, better equipment for news casts, ETC. Better stuff will make you the viewer happier.
I don't see why any hardware should be disposed of, a older 486 can still do work if it's given the right task. I think we are too quick to decalre computers useless. think before you send it the way of the buffalo!
I feel it you be handy for sharing information to a group of people that need it all at once. Like at a group meeting, before you start the meeting you set your device on the table and everyone logs onto your pda web engine...I think this might be handy, rather than just just beaming docs via IR, you can have it in html with interaction.
BSD holds a part of the market that will always be needed. For people who need an os to run on hardware that a linux kernel hasn't even been thought about yet, you have netbsd. for out of the box security, openbsd. Linux has too many people to appease to take over these markets. It has other fish to fry rather than line by line code audits and rare hardware ports. Linux will do it's thing (haven't figured out what that is yet.=:P) and BSD will do what it does best...which is be the best in it's little field..what ever it may be, security, obscure hardware or fast web serving and file serving (if i recall freebsd is damn fast.) BSD isn't dead, it doesn't even have a cold. It's thriving and you just aren't looking.
I hear the new cb0 doesn't really work in SMP that well. Some do Some don't. Is this true? They need to iron out the problems with cb0 stepping so that smp works all around first.
beta didn't die. it's still used in almost every television broadcast facility in the nation if not world. It is only today being slowly replaced by Digital tapes (dvc, dvcpro ect) and hard drives. Beta has great image quality and is VERY hardy, can be used a million times and still look VERY crisp. LONG LIVE SONY BETA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think anything will come of this. We see things like this happen and I'm sure this isn't the first time and it won't be the last, but still we won't see any actions from it. It'll die out like most of the crusades on the net.
I'll use what ever OS does the best job. for servers, i use BSD. For games, web browsing and office suites and music, i use windows. I won't be complianing because when linux does a better job at all those things (long time from now) I'll switch. But that time is not here. not by far. It's not about MS and all that politics. It's about what works. Windows works for me in certain places and unix fill the holes for my other needs.

ha! that's cool! What's worse, pop-ups or goat.cx
At least that's what some guy on the street said. We will confirm this information with the local 10 year old.

Yes but most of us have computers all ready and don't want to spend money on another machine.

Well that took all of 1 minute to make the server take a plop. Anyone have it stored in cache?
