I'm about to move into college, and I for one don't plan on using the landline telephone. I know my cellphone gets good coverage all over the campus.
Perhaps many other people are doing the same? As far as I know, the pricing is comparable, but the cell phone is much more portable.
Maybe people moving into college are starting to realize this, and the same with first time house (and apartment) buyers.
well, it's certainly cheaper to strike an alliance then build your own set of network hubs, and a fleet of trucks with which to pick up the items to be repaired.
When any of your portable devices detect that the DRM has been violated for their IP, they would like the wearer of the device to recieve a powerful electric shock, capable of causing paralysis.
really though, it seems to me that all technologies that are not the 'holy grail' are not a permanent solution to the problems. as processors get faster, they'll use more energy and create more heat. same with everything else in the laptop...
I guess what they say is right though, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.
step 1: do not connect the pc to any phone or network and no wireless connections either.
step 2: install winxp
step 3: admin password
--at least 8 chars long
--letters numbers AND other charactors
--not a dictionary word
--not easily guessed
step 3: networking setup
choose custom
unselect client for msft networks
unselect file and printer sharing
(you can enable after it's all patched up)
on the 'will this computer coneect to the internet directly...' dialog, select the proper settings as they will be, but it still should not be plugged into the network
don't activate, remind every few days
step 4: user accounts setup whatever user accounts you need, same rules apply to passwords. also, if your account has no password, it will not be accessable through the network.
step 5: verify network settings in the network connections dialog, for each connection,
-- make sure client for msft networks and file & printer sharing are STILL off
-- turn on the windows based firewall
reboot now
step 6: windows update pass 1
-- you can now get online, because you should be safe enough with the firewalling set up
step 7: run windowsupdate/reboot as needed until the system is FULLY patched.
step 8: install other software, such as virus checking.
(it's still a bad idea to disable the firewall, but it's much safer now than before)

Anyone else think that all of the new google inventions being released are not just for the product itself, but for the IPO?
the google gmail invite machine is getting over 1000 hits per second, and is using an amazing amount of bandwidth.
Although it may be a publicity stunt, I am pretty surpried with all of the nice innovations google is coming up with, to expand it's market from just search engines.

Well, I was thinking about buying a game console, and it's mostly about the number of decent games out there.. they don't have to be new.
so for me, if I get a ps2, backwards compatibility will be nice.
however, for microsoft, they obviously want everyone to buy all new games, because the more sales the better.
we need cold fusion!
