  2. Re:Bandwidth of the federal court system. on Florida Court Overturns AT&T Cable Ordinance · · Score: 1

    You're a f***ing moron for thinking this way. You wanna go back to using carrier pidgeons, that's fine. If you don't like the cable service you recieve, then DON'T USE IT. The reason att and other cable companies don't have competition in their areas is cause the market is not even close to saturated yet! I'm so sick of the morons making coments about how companies should be run; you have no clue as to the logistics of running a telephone isp, much less providing broadband service to 2 million people. Morons!

    Actually, if you own ROM copies of the originals it is NOT legal to download another copy of the rom for emulation use. Sad but true...

    Processor: Sinclair Research Ltd. Z80 A

    Interfaces: TV, Earphone, Microphone, Expansion Bus
    Loaded programs via tape, of course. This computer was sold as a build-it-yourself and pre-built. Came with 2k ram on it, and you could clip on a 16k module to actually do something productive with it. The keyboard sucks, its a membrane that you basically have to hammer to type something.

    I'd laugh quite a bit if someone could make linux run on this. Didn't linus start programming linux on a Sinclair QL (much later sinclair, with a motorola 68k chip in it)?

    As a side note, I put together a website about the big brother to this computer (this was released in kit form in 1981), the Timex Sinclair 2068 (released in 1983)...

    Actually, it was a 1.something mhz z80. 4.77mhz sounds like a 8086 chip. Endi

  7. Re:What is Darwin? on Apple Builds Darwin For Intel · · Score: 1

    darwin is the 'opensource' component of macos; ie, what apple doesn't think is worth keeping under wraps. I concur that this will no bring about a complete faceover to bring macx to the pc. Its not in apple's best interest a this point. Endi

  11. My letter of complaint... on Investment Advisor Alleges MS Financial Fraud · · Score: 1

    Subject: Your FUD campaign against Microsoft

    Your so called 'report' available at http://www.billparish.com/msftfraudfacts.html is obviously reaching to pull down Microsoft and boost your own business.
    I think your report is biased on your efforts to bring attention to yourself without ANY backing.

    You make NO references to any hard data or reports. This discredits you and your report entirely.

    You are manipulating the internet as media in the same way you accuse microsoft of locking you out of successfully reporting. I believe the media thinks you're full out of it and that's why you haven't managed any access to it.

    I believe your report unwisely introduces Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt within the internet comunity, aimed at tearing down Microsoft's stock value.
