Stargate is kind of hard for me to watch... I'm always waiting for Jack (Richard Dean Anderson) to make a bomb out of a blender and a bottle of whatever was under the sink to twart the bad guys.
We are up to around 90% spam. We use Groupwise as out mail client and Erado for our spam filtering...
- A ton of the messages that we have coming in aren't actual addresses but are not_a_real_user@co.com; maybe as much as half of the email that hits our domain.
I don't think that my computer is a cure for ANYTHING. It's a time waster, causes stress (today I have been fighting evil SQL Servers), and to top it all off I'm spending time on Slashdot which has to be bad for my health.
I started thinking about this when/. posted this the first time. Any SlashDotters stealing their Internet access? Anyone ever driven around and tried to find a connection? Do you have a lazy neighbor that is giving away a nice fat unsecured connection.. tempting.
I have the LG v8000, which is a pretty neat geek toy. Video, Camera, MP3, Internet, etc... The only downside is really poor support for getting the pix/ vids and MP3s moved from a computer to the phone.
- Hopefully these new phones will have better communication with the computer, and work on Verizon!
My daughter has a Creative Labs MP3 player, 512MB flash MuVo... It's great. It pops up as a new drive, she copies songs to it and they play. I think that simplicity goes a long way toward ergonomics. A sleek design is one thing, ease of use (not that the iPod is hard, you just have to install software and it's hard to move the files to a different computer) makes the MuVo a better choice IMHO.
Look at the Google portal compared to the Yahoo one... Google's is elegant and simple, no ads, no extra info. Yahoo's is a mess. I don't remember Yahoo ever having a simple portal, for that matter - all the portals (Netscape being the most popular one for years) out there were packed with way too much info.
It looks like they have the same problems with viruses and spyware that we have here, infected computers and users with no clue of how to keep them clean.
The first time that a little girl sees the laptop screen of the bored college student sitting outside surfing porn, her mom is going to sue pants off of the city because they provided the internet connection!
- then they would have to institute a ton of filtering and wreck it. Better to just leave it to the ISPs. The internet is almost a utility level service, but it's not as simple as delivering water or picking up trash.
Slashdot Mirror
The companies that own the wires must be pumping some serious $$ into the Washington to get this kind of action out of the FCC.
I thought that they were still on that Janet Jackson witch hunt. Nipple-Shield-Gate...
That is also the reason that we eat tons of evil High Fructose Corn Syrup. Compared to real sugar, the stuff is really bad for you.

I imagine a ton of these crap projects strewn all over CmdrTaco's house..

"The administrator claims over 30,000 pounds yearly are saved by using OSS servers. That seems a tad high for a single high school."

... Intel: you will switch to the P4
Jobs: well, when you put it like that
Intel: [Maniacal laugh]
- Steve Jobs reaches for the brief case, there is a flash of light and a the room fills with smoke.
- fade to black.

"I've already got a mountain of wires, with my 7.1 home theater system"
- Sounds like the future of audio is WIRELESS.

"The sad thing is that Qwerty is rather embedded into our "culture" (so to speak) ... "
- It's also embedded into the BIOS of the computer and into any OS untill a new driver is introduced.
I agree. But not just science is involved. Imagine sitting next to Chatty Cathy Bad Breath on a long flight.
I hate flying already.
... when Phil Hartman was still alive.
Novell has the $$ to burn, too... After getting all that dough from M$ to settle lawsuits.
they haven't released anything new, except for free patches to fix broken software...
