4. Have the actual content play as smoothly as the ad. On CNN.com the ad usually plays flawlessly but the news story may not play at all. So I find myself considering a Netflix subscription while forgetting what I was going to watch.
When I was a kid, my friend once told me that he tried to put the top end of a Bic pen into his urinary tract to stop him from having to pee. He is now an engineer. When I laughed and said that I was going to tell everyone, he told me that he knew I was jacking off (all the time) so I dropped the subject immediately. I know that this adds nothing to the discussion, but it is Saturday night and I am at home reading Slashdot.!
OpenSuse 10 recognized and configured my D-Link DWL-G650 PCMCIA card. It might also work with D-Link's newer USB stuff. I'm finding OpenSuse 10 to be the best distro I've found so far to deal with hardware issues...easily. Best Buy sells D-Link stuff and is pretty cool about returns as long as you didn't trash the box.
In my opinion, they are still treating their users badly. It seems like recent history that Apple was touting the G5 as the first "desktop supercomputer." Now, it may be that they are turning their backs on the people who invested in that technology for these new Intel machines...and the G5 processor or its successor might still be better.
Dude, I was just going to say this. Apple makes Microsoft look socialist. It's just that they have Bono on their commercials and their stuff looks cool even though it's expensive and tough to upgrade. If I know the EU, which I don't, they'll be happy as long as they can force Microsoft to hand over 500 million Euro here and there.
Ironically, one of the reasons Hollywood is located where it is, was to get away from the patent enforcement thugs of the Motion Picture Patents Company - MPPC, more acronyms. The early film industry was located in New York, New Jersey and Jacksonville, FL (sunshine). The MPPC consisted mainly of the Edison Film Company and a couple of others who held patents on all the filmmaking and exhibiting equipment. They wanted money from anyone making a movie and used hired thugs to enforce this. Subsequently, "independents" such as Carl Laemmle who started Universal Pictures (MPAA) and William Fox of 20th Century Fox (MPAA) moved as far away as they could, California, to make movies.

They could call it the HellSpark.
