I WISH I had 4. I've got 2. ATT (6mb DSL) or Comcast (not much better and I have NEVER had good dealings with Comcast). Same thing in the place I am living now and the place I just left just 7 miles away. BOTH within city limits. I know other people that have only 1 choice, Comcast. This being the 3rd largest city in the state.
I just discovered this looking at the 'new' gmail. I love it! The only downside is that I've gotten used to having everything split between Primary/Social/Promotions. I can probably do without that to get away from all the cartoony BS.
How about they just sell them for a reasonable price (ie. not equal to or more than physical books) at which point there would be no need for reselling.
You get used to the noise (it just becomes background white noise) after a while. I've got a 48port gb switch that was annoying for a few days but now I don't even notice it anymore. Of course, if you add a few professional grade servers to that after a while it will become hard to hear yourself think but you can get used to quite a lot.
Also.. maybe not so much re-purposed consumer grade desktop machines but server class machines tend to get louder/quieter depending on load due to the fans accommodating for power usage and heat generation so a lower user server will generate less noise overall than a high use machine.
I bet it also doubles as a nice space heater?;)
One of the things people tend to forget about professional grade servers is that they put out a good amount of heat.
I set up a minecraft server at home about a year ago for myself and my gf's son. The nice thing for me was that I could play in 1 perpetual world from both home and work. I wasn't really interested in hosting a server for the public but it was convenient for my purposes.
There will always be faulty cables (I've tossed many a patch cable that could have been fixed with a few minutes and a new rj45 connector) when dealing with digital cabling but you will never be able to convince me that that $80 monster HDMI cable is worth buying over the similar length (or longer) $10 cable from monoprice.com.
How about Target Earth that was for the Sega Genesis? I read a review on it in one of those gaming mags in the early 90's that gave it an 'Impossible' rating (the only one I'd ever seen). It took my roommate and I hours just to get through the first level (side scrolling shooter type game).
To see this won and applied to e-books as well. In many cases books for kindle are more expensive than paper books yet you can turn around and sell a physical book after you've read it and you (currently) can't do the same with an e-book.
Nobody said anything about living on credit. I do the same thing InterestingFella does. I use my credit card for everything bills/gas/food/etc. and then when it's time to pay my credit card off at the end of the month I do a direct one time transfer from my bank account. I'm not living on credit even the least little bit. I don't spend what I don't have and in fact keep a decent 'cushion' in the bank at all times. I haven't lived paycheck to paycheck in a LONG time.
If you pay your credit card off every month there is no interest to pay, no fees, AND you get points/miles/extra cash/cheaper gas. I would say NOT doing this is stupid.
That may be so, but in my case they have screwed up too many times in the past (going back 15 years or so) to ever get my business again. It's not about how good their internet service is, it's about my feelings for them as a company and how I have been treated by said company.
So virii, malware, etc. is all cached?
Point being, you don't have to MANUALLY install something for it to become 'installed' on your system. Having several GB worth of game "cache" sitting on your system doesn't seem to be much different than having several GB worth of game "installed" on your system.

I feel the exact opposite. Snowboards, skateboards, wakeboards = yay... ski's etc. = nay.

hint, most will pay for office, no one likes being retrained
Like most non-tech users felt going from Office 2003 -> 2007 -> 2010?
The US street are littered with kids whose parent did that instead of actual get professional help.
Really? Where? Reference? Honestly, I've never heard that parents kicking deadbeat children out of their homes was a serious source of homelessness.
Challenge Accepted!
Yeah. There's no such thing as chicks for free.
This sounds like an episode of Sliders to me...
It comes with the TI-99/4A and was extremely informative at 9 so should be a breeze at 11.

Due to an in increase in patent/copyright/trademark litigation in the future MicrAppleSoft will be forced to change their name to MiSoftCrapple.

Exactly!
bah... I meant Cyberfunk2 does... misread the post headers.
