  1. Re:Theyre using it to on American View On Korean Broadband Leadership · · Score: 1
    your still wrong - South Korea is easily within missile range from North Korea - any hint the US try to attack North Korea, South will disappear from the map. the US can't afford that.

    and even if the US did win against North Korea and gains control there, China won't like it, having a US controlled land right next to them.

    that place has been a stalemate for so many years becuse of that, and will remain that way for lord knows when.

  5. Re:Use it to your advantage on This Call May Be Monitored ... · · Score: 1
    My wife didn't understand why I would sit totally quiet while on hold and not allow her to talk - until I told her a few stories.

    there are lots of phone units with a "mute" button/feature being sold for the same price as all other landline phones.

    try getting one of those and use that feature. you can talk to your wife as much as you want without worrying the other end is listening to you.

    I use progman.exe and Mozilla as the shell on my "guest" account of my XP box

    sounds interesting - can you give us too lazy to research on the inner workings of windows, steps on how to do this?

    having broadband is nice, but it's certainly not the most important thing you can have in the world

    heh, having broadband actually made me less productive. if only suprnova and animesuki will run out of shows and other stuff to download. :-/

  10. limit upload bandwith? [Re:Where I live] on Roll Your Own Television Network Using Bittorrent · · Score: 1
    most bittorrent clients allows you to limit your upload bandwidth, maybe they can do this in BT TV.

    but then again, if everybody started limiting their outgoing bandwidth, this will never work.

  15. i have aquestion if you please [was: Careful...] on Eye Transplant Enables Blind Boy to See · · Score: 1
    BWJones, this is slightly off topic but there's something i'd like to ask you being a vision scientist.

    if a persons eye is completely removed (due to an accident), and just used an artificial eye (the type you have to remove and wash constantly, so it wouldnt look so ugly at the very least) for 20 years, can that person still get his vision back if he is given an eye transplant? do the optic nerves (or whatever they're called) eventually die after say 20 years of inactivity?

    thanks!

    Not really. When you graduate from college, or change ISPs, or change companies, you'd be lucky if they'll let you keep your old email address, even if it just forwards all messages to your new address.

    Allow me to invite you (or anyone here who doesn't read manga) to download and read a manga. Try getting something from Chapter 100+ as the quality is better.

    And yes, I do read mangas, and in some occasions even find the mangas better than the anime (for stories that have an anime equivalent at least, like Naruto, Midori no Hibi ...).
