Since VOIP uses data compression I suspect that it is lossy. Voice can have lossy compression and still sound good to the ear. Even music can work. Since FAX is data that is embedded in higher audio frequency, I would expect it to not work becuase of lossy compression. POTS is analog all the way and has very little loss (except for analog filtering).
It is looking like Intel is less worried about obstruction that they are about releasing the truth. This sure does sound like a similar company whose name started with a vowel "E.r.n".
"Children have to learn that moral values that are thought to them by school and by religion are not absolute"
You need to grow up! maturity is realizing that moral values are absolute. By treating them any other way is saying "I adjust my moral values to the situation" which is saying "I have no moral values". Right and wrong are black and white. To say the are gray is to have no morals at all.
Like morals being absolute, I set the rules in my house the same way. By the way, I never did like playing violent video games, they were contradictory to my values. No games rated 'M' are allowed in my house. My teenage boys are to leave any location where 'M' games are played. They understand this rule and follow it. They have told me that they have left other's homes becuase of this and I have evidence that backs that up. I inherited an 'M' rated game and my boys reminded me that is had to go. By holding on to this rule, our values are never comprimised. This is a life lesson my boys will carry with them always.
Breakdown of society occurs when there are no morals.
As soon as Vista hits about 7%, we will start seeing the viruses, worms, and malware that works on vista released. The authors of suck ilk won't release until there are enough copies running so that it will do harm.
Your lockup problem was probably caused by an artifact of the bittorent client. The real bittorrent client has locked up every switch and router that I own (multile vendors) while Azureus does not.
Time Warner in Austin is awsome once they found a router problem a few blocks away that was also killing thier phone service. That is the only problem I have had in five years.
I run Adobe on my PC with dual core. Sitting next to an equivalent fruit, it performs the same. Those with bottomless pockets can afford the fruit. For myself and the rest of world who cannot (just look at the market share), the PC does just fine for a fraction of the price.
Your don't need fruit to to look and sound cool, just eat your veggies.
Yes, the instruction set is old, but, it does still work. As a consumer, why should I have to re-invest in software that I purchased and does the job, just becuase my hardware failed, or faster hardware becomes available and I upgrade. Apple bit that one some time ago. Last year, I had an investment of $4000.00 in software when Intel came out with a significantly faster part that was dropping in price. Just by upgrading my hardware (cost $800) my invenstment improved significantly. $4800.00 did not justify the upgrade but the low cost of hardware only, did. Also, there was not learning curve involved.
You don't buy a new car just becuase the tires need replaceing (well some people do, but that is rarely the fiscally responsible thing).
Here is the flaw in the WTOs ruling. The law in the U.S. states that U.S. operated bank card systems cannot collect or trade in offshore gambling or any gambling on protected by U.S. or local laws. You can gamble in Antigua all you want. your bank card company just cannot handle your funds if they trade in the U.S.
This is a law on U.S. banking, not internation gambling. All you idiot can grumble now, but the WTO has no authority on U.S. banking regulation.
1. standardized operation for ALL applicatation.
2. cut and paste between ALL applications..
3. Applications must ALL be uniform in operation of common functions..
4. Uniform operation of input devices (mouse)..
5. Easily customizable..
6. Standardized behavour on any local or remote environment..
7. Some kind of direct video support (games, etc...).
And, don't tell me that these are all true. I have to use a linux GUI desktop and KDE is the best choice but lacks all of the above.
Yes, the Northgate Omnikey is the best ever. I happened to come accross the company that bought the molds and hardware rights to it and is still making two of the models. They are the Avant keyboards and I have a couple. They are really the finest still but a bit pricey.

I know one that uses a MAC exclusivly, two that use both but mostly Windows, and about 17 that use Windows and don't even consider the cost prohibitive Mac.
Nope, this is a motherboard arhitechure problem. Core 2 XEON uses a poorly designed chipset from Intel that cripples the memory bus. Extensive benchmarking shows these system significantly slower that standard core2 motherboards. My desktop is faster than our quad core2 Xeon and everything.
This is antitrust. There is no question of that issue. One is the only competition with the other and the customer is the public. If this goes through, there will be price increases and I still won't subscribe to the stupid idea of satelite radio. There appears to be enough stupid people that do subscribe that they will pay any price.

Anyone else know about this?

This is just another reason why I still you an old standard TV. Until the dust settles, I ain't spending one thin dime on HD.
You just can't handle the truth!
You wouldn't know fair and balanced if it bit you in the arse.

Why is this big news? What is different here that hasn't happened before in the life of the Earth?
Oh, I get it now. The next thing we here is that it is the fault of humans that this is happening.
Nothing new to see here, move along

Blatent criminal activiy is a good reason to release the information. Craigslist needs to do the right thing and expose the perpitrator.
Very little, I use three monitors.

Why do I need to even consider Vista? Why would I need anything more than XP? What do I want to run that requires Vista?
The answer: NOTHING
No. In our cleanup, we actually found $12000 worth of stuff that we needed for our current project and a missing employee.
Time to shut down the borders and don't let anyone into the US until they are screened.

Did they ever want to. It has always been a fishing expedition with them. DirectTV did the same thing.

confirm response, accept or deny?
Vista bugs me too much. I killed it.
YES
