Yet here in Monroe, WA, not far from SR2 and much closer to the bigger cities, Verizon can't be bothered to provision DSL into the local site, and Comcast's cable plant stops several miles away.
My experience with bge's and e1000g's is different. They tend to come up at 100/hdx until fixed. The ce's seem to be better, but then the only ce's we're using are fiber cards.
I'm confused: you write "Steve Jobs tried to get special rights from the FSF to use GCC in NextStep, and the FSF said no" but then "So, NeXT used GCC". Are you contradicting yourself, or am I missing something?
I worked for StepStone when the big NeXT buzz broke. When I was hired, I was told that the deal with NeXT would grow the company like crazy. Turns out that the company got some amount of $ up front, but the incremental licensing was minimal. NeXT poached the lead developer and we were told that they switched to all-GCC which dried up that revenue stream. We did have some brief success, though, in selling ObjC printed docs to people who wanted to develop for NeXT.
1. I don't know if it will tether. If it won't, dealbreaker.
A PC-card or ExpressCard to do the same thing costs like $70, and you don't have to hassle with carrying a cable and juggling a laptop and the phone without dropping one. Sheesh.
Indeed. There are many of us with those new-fangled "cell phones", or who need to occasionally fax something. Or -- in our cluelessness -- want to be able to make/take calls during connectivity or *power* outages. Neither cable nor DSL service is nearly reliable enough to depend on for voice service. There are also many people (like me) who live in areas where neither DSL nor cable is even *available*. $650/mo for a DS1 so one can run VoIP vs $30/mo for a POTS line. Hmmm, wonder which the hipster^H^H^H^H^H^Hclueful user will choose....
Ah, you've met Red Elk too?

Whatever processes ITMS uses to encode their QT downloadables, it could use some work. BSG and Grey's Anatomy are the examples I've seen firsthand -- while the image quality of a given frame is fine, motion has a way of being annoyingly choppy. HQ divx AVI's that one sometimes finds elsewhere seem to have better quality, though I've yet to find a combo of software and encoding settings that can reproduce them at a given bitrate.
However, IIRC - one study found that sales jumped after every college break during which file sharing jumped.
That doesn't establish causality. It's entirely plausible that sales jumped eg. due to the kids having more free time or whatever.

Really - who gives a shit? What's next, a discourse on why he chose to drive whatever color his car is?
The video I've seen on domestic flights has been p&s and edited for length. Plus, there are only so many times I can stand to watch Adam Sandler.

How is the RIAA getting students' names to match up with IP addresses?
Moreover, recent releases don't even build and run properly, so I have to stick with the 3.4.3 Sun distributes anyway.

A gig and half of vmem in use is inarguably ridiculous.

This is hardly limited to Steeltown. Speakeasy's rates for DSL around Seattle follow the same pattern for the same reason.

Umm, are you claiming that Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are *analog*????
... while locking you into having your pants sued off by the MPAA. What a choice, that.

When they work with Verizon *and* are deemed worthy of syncing by iSync, then I'll care.
The fact that it can't receive file transfers is the only thing that bothers me.
HUH? BTW, 22.1 does in fact *finally* compile and run on Solaris 10 x86.
I've seen 18 year old secretaries who can barely drive a car using emacs just fine. No mouse, no fancy stuff. Just a terminal.
... hopefully it offers the ability to compile and run without dumping core, which 21 didn't offer on Solaris 10 / x86.
More to the point, where does a free software organization get $100k to give away in the first place?
How exactly does "free" software drop a couple hundred grand to sponsor a race car?
I tend to dismiss a-priori anything that uses the word "enterprise" yet isn't talking about Star Trek.

Marvy. More stuff that compilers won't actually generate code that uses. Yee. Hahh.
