Am I the only one on/. commenting in this topic who goes to the movies and never buys anything but the ticket? Everyone's complaing that it's too expensive and the food kills your wallet. So? Don't buy any food or beverages. You are going to the movies, not to a restaraunt.
Now granted, tickets are expensive, but I enjoy it.
A spammer, doctor, and two federal authorities walk into a bar...
But seriously, I put the doctor more at fault with this one. What the heck was he thinking? Another great victory. Let's keep them rolling, now.

And that's why I agree they should face consequences for their actions. Let's say someone goes to downtown Miami at 2 AM in the morning with their brand new BMW. They park it, walk away leaving the doors unlocked, and the car gets stolen 10 minutes later. Who actually did the stealing? The theives, of course. Should they be punished? Absolutly. But the person who owned the car easily enabled that to happen when he should have known that 1) He was in Miami, one of the highest crimerate cities in the nation, 2) at 2 AM in the morning, 3) With a $30k+ vehicle. His stupidity opened the door for the car to be stolen. Serves him right, in my opinion.
Does that make the these kids guilty, though? Absolutly.
While the students should face some kind of consequences, in my opinion, the sheer stupidity puts this at the fault of those "victims" rather than the students.
We should get the military on this right away. Pump nothing but "The One-Eyed, One-Horned, Flying Purple People Eater" through the wings, and our planes will be unstoppable!
Let's face it. Cable companies have always advertised speeds then never delivered. CableVision is, one of the lowest in quality, in my opinion. I know many OO subscribers who can attest to this.
While the individual pipes may be able to handle 100Mbps and greater, unless they lay an entirely new system down, guaranteeing it and preventing bottleneck will be almost impossible.
FTTP, like that provided by Verizon (which I have), is much more promising. The new system is there and in place. Verizon has the financial backing to keep making upgrades to this system to keep improving it to wipe out competition. Right now, they have an OC-12 pipe going out to a maximum of 32 customers Which guarantees 20Mbps to every customer all at the same time. While they can't promise 30Mbps to everyone at once, I find this "risk" a whole lot more rational that what CableVision hopes to do.
Word is from what I've seen, Verizon will be upgrading to OC-24 pipes, if not OC-48, very soon.
Good thing, or else the aliens will be looking down on us, and the first thing they see is an advertisment for "100% natural penis enlargement.":/

It was only postponed. The future is inevitable.

It largely depends on what you're trying to acomplish. While you can do virtually the same things in Linux as you can Windows or Mac OS X, each OS has their finepoints.
For programming, I feel I am most productive in Linux. Rather than having everything done for you (and often not correctly), you have to do it your way in Linux, which makes for a higher quality production.
For media effects and creation, that's where Windows and OS X come in, along with several other areas. Overall, though, I feel a lot more free in Linux.
I've been debating switching completely to OO. As soon as I get sufficient support for my needs, I'm over fully. Hopefully 2.0 will be this threshold. Either way, I'm looking forward to playing around with it.

Why do Ph.D's always have to prove things that have been understood by us common folk for ages upon ages? No duh meetings are bad for your mood!

They pretty much did it already with the iPod Nano. Creative has had the Zen Nano Plus MP3 player for awhile now.

Sorry. It's all I could come up with. Squeek.
Cool. Now I'll be able to have conversations with people before words even come out of their mouth. Always wanted to do that ...

I was just about to say this. I worry about my eyes in front of a single CRT, and I'll be switching to LCD in the near future because of this fact.
A small step forward in wireless technology, but I think I'll pass. I can find no current use.
