Like that in europe, not the states. One of our major pay as you go providers actaully got shut down too. Id say 90% of the phone sold here are locked to one specific carier. Companies here make zilch on phones (I sell them)
Not all true. Major carriers loose money on cell phones. They undercut prices for term commitments and using new features that require use of the network.
I completely agree! While we are not helping the issue, we aren't making it as bad as people claim. And nor is bush as destructive as everyone sees him. While he has the one of the lowest approval ratings in history, he also had one of the highest is first term. I'm just saying theres no need to point the finger so easily when alot of problems are greater than the power of man.
If you look at history, the melting and freezing of icecaps varys throughout history. The specs are skewed for everything. While i will admit we are doing damage, its also part of the natural course of our planet. Ya'll are to quickly to blame bush and polution for all the worlds aggricultural problems.
I'll put it in a voice that fellow geeks can understand. The skewed facts of global warming is much like that of music downloads effecting cd sales. Harvard did a study on it, and found out the facts were taken over a span that just tap the boost in cd sales due to everyone switching over from cassette. Of course sales were booming. After people rebought old music and started buying new, it slowed down. This just happened to start at the beggining of p2p. If you ignore the boost cause here, I believe the article said music sales were only lowered by.5% due to illigal downloads. So statistics can be skewed to show whatever the heck you want them too. Look for trends and you see how green house gasses and temperature naturally fluxuate, and how one lags behind the other. I mean we could go way back and see how the abundance of CO2 and just water lead to oxygen and etc, which would be considered on todays terms to be 100% polution.
So you are right, stupid humans. Stupid for not seeing the other side of things.
I run a pc modding site, a small one, but granted still a site. You can actually get a board the same size, that can take a P4 HT (sorry no amd) dual giga lan ports, firewire, usb2.0, and 1 pcie slot for 300 bucks.
Well, I am actually trashing all my rips and starting over with flak. So that means that I'll loose a great deal of space. And I listen to trance, country, rock, and jazz. That is a huge range spanning many artists. Also, if I ever want to use it has an external HDD, which is its main feature over creative units, since the require a special driver, I'd have nothing left over.
I love the iPod, but won't buy one till they reach 100GB, the size of my music collection. I think iPod is going in the right direction right now, releasing too many new products at once seems to stun the market, and then you get those pople sitting around wiating for the latest and greatest. Subtle changes everys often is fine, but that would be a bit too major, just after the Nano replaced the mini.
Havent they always been there?

Must be a slow news day, those have been around for a while.
I agree with you. This is rediculous. That isn't the best way to stop this, lawsuits. It will always be there, even more so when there being dicks about it.
With the latest pre releases of betas, including 64 beta, and trying not to be evil, etc., gates is going after the one market he never had, computer geeks. We all like linux. We hate evil giant copy-right suing corperations. He's trying to change his ways, and wether it works or not, it will help there PR, CS, and will let us try out and see new products to make us happy. I am all for it. Go bill! Join the force! Leave the dark side!
Believe me ants are awesome;-). Though this may cost a fortune now, and I don't see it being near what it will be in the end, the possibilites with something of this nature are endles, from putting them on cars during crash tests, to better see how and what breaks first, to shapechanging objects.
Somone will figure out how to record it, and float more episodes around the net. Second, this will only increase the number of viewers, as now they don't have to have cable, nor will advirtisments do anything, and it will kill all bandwidth. I love the feature, but will they profit?
UPDATE, the Proxy Switch tool is incompatible with this, as are some other functions. Just know this before installing, see if the author of your plugin is updating it!
That's good to know, can uninstall that firefox speeder upper thing. So far there turning out updates quicker than MS, and has better support. Nothing like the lack of pop ups and spam that just doesn't know how to work a PC without IE:)
Go firefox! On my site 65% of my users use firefox. It is a hardware site, so you'd expect it, but Firefox is gaining momentum and space. Anyone else have percentages from there site? Slashdot?
If we are constantly evolving, which we are, to suit what we need to, that means we are getting more complicated. So the more complicated we get the more we try to learn, and that circle spends around and around. We already know the human brain is far more capable than anything else known on the planet. From Hitler's ability to get a country of logical people to side with such extremest views, to einstein who bent all the information we knew as science. We will always be ahead of where we seem to be.
I have a Flak music collection of over 14000 Ripped songs in a FLAC lossless audio format. These files are irriplacable, bit-for-bit duplicates of my original CD's I use for parties, etc. It amounts to about 1TB. I have frequently bought the largest drives on the market, to find there failure rate, over mid-sized hard drives, say 200GB, isn't worth it. It is cheaper to buy 3 200GB HDD's, and get more reliability, than 1 500GB. Also, trying to do a mirror raid at that cost is insane. 32mb of cache is also seeming to becom neccesary..

Good read, and thanks for sharing further information. That is new light I have yet to see.
Not a matter of concience. But we are free to have opinions :)

This was on i-hacked earlier today, like in the morning.
Actually a lot of min itx boards have 2.

So what happens when a java applet is inside a java browser? Java in Java? That can't be efficient.

This is true, DOS was great. But I do remember dos roots being in Linux. But that was a long time ago. Anyway that's just how I feel on it.

Looks like they are finally catching up to OOP (not object oriented programming, but OpenOffice Project.) Its a nice feature, seems to save space too.
That means my older copy must now be worth more. I think that whole thing is nonsense, just mom's with too much time on there hands.

Causes people to open up R&D budgets a little more, like what AMD did to intel. Only much smaller.
