  1. Not content with content on Nielsen Report Says Internet Usage Flattening · · Score: 1

    If the music and movie biz would get their act together and not worry about non-existent lost sales and release non-restricted content on the internet, its use, and their pocketbooks, would still be zooming to new heights.

    But that's not likely to happen.

  2. Re:Your Post Translated: on Why Microsoft Should Fear Bandwidth · · Score: 1

    I write websites for a living.

    Ever heard of a content management system? That's what blogging software is. If I wanted to write my own HTML for every post, and have a completely unmanageable crapload of information, I would.

    If you need some counseling for your rage-related problems, however, I know some people you can speak with as well.

    Sorry my /. posts weren't formatted to your specifications. I never post here. I'll be sure to get them pre-approved by you before I submit them in the future.

    Aren't whiny teenagers fun, y'all?

    Happy New Year.

  3. Re:Even Assuming You're Not Lying and/or Trolling on Why Microsoft Should Fear Bandwidth · · Score: 1

    The benefits of the Internet are that anyone can publish what they like -- check into it sometime, you can do the same thing. I can even help you set up the software, if you can't manage it.

    As for the posts being formatted improperly, what browser are you using? It looks fine in the four I've tested it in, and it is almost all valid XHTML...methinks your browser might be having a bit of a problem.

    As for why you should care, you shouldn't, but as you responded to me, you oviously do care. So....?

    I never expecte the article to make it on /. I submitted it on a lark. Things happen in a contingent world.

    C'est la vie.

  4. Re:Ho hum. on Why Microsoft Should Fear Bandwidth · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm the author the article. The "network is the computer" was a false start because the bandwidth was not there. Now, it is getting to be there -- and with spam, spyware, adware, phishing schemes, increasing viruses, the average user is way out of his league in dealing with the challenges of modern computing. Long past are the days where one could leave a Windows 98 machine (or Windows 2000, or XP, take your pick) connected to the Internet for days at a time, unpatched. My point, which I should have made clearer, is that the "network-is-the-computer" approach didn't work because the bandwidth simply was not there. Now it is getting to be. With spyware, adware, malware of all stripes dominating the news, and the average user's computer, people will be much more inclined now and in the near future to use an ASP model. I hope that clarifies my arguments a bit.
