As far as I'm concerned, we're in an in-between phase: the right replacement for DAT hasn't come along yet
Actually, tapers have moved to flash based recorders. The Edirol R-09 is an amazing unit for live taping... many more flash memory units coming as well...
Seriously, this is what gives Linux a bad reputation. To take time out of your day to harass a company for changing Linux support/distro is just insane. People wonder why getting companies to switch to LInux is so hard? It's this crazy rep that Linux has of being filled with "maverick/crazy" users.
Way to go guys in further perpetuating a negative Linux stereotype. Thanks for helping get Linux accepted in the enterprise as a professional system(s).
Uh wrong.
Accenture operated as a separate company (called Anderson Consulting) from Arthur Anderson even before Enron. In fact, just before Enron the full divorce is what resulted in Accenture.
There is a reason that the legal profession never moved over to Word, and they likewise will not move to ODF, when you need to get to a tightly proscribed document format, both Word and ODF have a "you can't get there from here" fundamental limitation.
Uh, just an FYI. The legal profession uses MS Word. For years they did keep to Word Perfect in the USA, and of the 20 lawyer friend of mine at Tier 1 USA law firms, they all use MS Word. Word Perfect died for the legal profession when it failed to create a decent Windows 3.1 and 95 versions -- lawyers have no idea what is a document format more than related to the word processor they use.:)
While I think "Foolish choice" is a bit strong, I would like mac but the gaming part keeps me back. If they made a decent headless mac that I could dual boot to play games (i.e with a decent graphics card that is user upgradeable). Yes, I know Imac, but i just don't like this form factor -- I want to be able to upgrade things as I want. Mac Pro is too expensive.
If Mac made a mid-range headless computer, I would finally make the jump to mac I think..
Why do all mac haters say it is $100/150 per year for service packs? Plesae, you are giving Windoze users a worse rap with this stupidity. I am a Windoze user, don't have a mac (though thinking more and more about it), yet even I know that each of these PAY releases are MAJOR NEW VERSIONS of the Mac OS and NOT SERVICE PACKS!
Stop spreading this fallacy and making Windoze users look stupid(er)
here here! Mod parent up.
I don't understand the problem. Company B invents a widget that people like to purchase. You don't have to buy the widget if you don't want to...
As usual, with any Vista announcement come the big proclamations saying "Oh, I am not upgrading to vista." Ya ya, whatever....
People said the SAME thing about XP here as well. 5 years later I bet almost all of you windows folks are running XP at this point. Eventually, you will want to buy a new computer and just like XP did, it will come with Vista. Yes, of course people will claim they are going to OS X but I'll believe it when I see the Mac % of worldwide market go above 5%.
Basically everyone will switch one way or another to Vista whether to play some game or some other Vista only application. Microsoft knows & understands this having seen this in all of its Windows releases. That's why they are basically just doing whatever they want...as we all will eventually be assimilated:)
Is it just me, or it feels MUCH faster than 1.5.
Did they tweak things to improve speed?
Just get it pre-installed at dell/compaq/HP/etc

It just needs to be installed with an icon on the desktop at a major computer manufacturer. HP, Dell, Compaq, whatever...
All that other stuff is fluff/bloat. Users are not going to install Firefox to find out what it is unless they are either a nerd or have a nerd friend who puts it on.
Actually, as someone just turned 34, I think it is a bit of both outgrowing and Film/TV getting boring.
However, I LOVE HBO & Showtime "TV-shows." The stories may not always be what interests me, but they shows are always done in a mature and assuming the viewer has a brain!
Normal TV assumes we are morons at best and tries to cater to the right and the left politics depending on time of day and/or show.
I hear the sound of millions of voices in French screaming in agony as they lose Itunes/Ipods....
Sounds like the French will be buying their music from other EU countries Itune stores....
I somehow doubt it. Most people in USA (other than foreigners) could care less about the world cup.
Most US CITIZENS (i.e. not foreigners are recent citizens) fine it a boring sport to watch (but loads of fun to PLAY! IMHO...):)

Wow, you're the first person to not think the pre-amps are amazing on the R-09. Are you sure about this? Check out http://www.sonicstudios.com/r-09revw.htm
what is your desktop model? curious what you use...

Macmini for games won't work. The graphics are terrible.

Will a complete system format and OS re-install from CDs erase any possible re-entry?
Why not use the non-outlook version of SpamBayes? It works fine with any mail client...

BTW, I am a closet Mac fanboy
I hope this isn't off topic.
But, is there a place to play Tradewars online? I would LOVE to play this game again, but have been out of luck in finding anything via google.
Thanks!
..... oh wait.... :)
Good. At least the government gets SOMETHING right :)
However, I bet he has some nice off-shore bank accounts with some money hidden away.
Wait, so he sold $20million, pays $5.4 back? Not a bad return I would think. Should I assume the government also seized all his assets etc?
Probably all the extensions? Weird though, sure ran some java apps faster...

Don't get an emigrant, the extra 0.75% is NOT worth it! Their customer service is ATROCIOUS!! For the little difference most reviews pick INGDirect...
