What telcos have done so far is to lobby for deregulation, while KEEPING their monopolies!! Ask anyone who has a clue in economics, and you'll see that this is BAD and will result in you and I getting screwed.
If the FCC is ready to allow more open competition where low costs and high quality dominate, then we're going to get better services and bandwidth. I hope the FCC moves into this direction.

I don't think it should be surprising when we find out that we're spying on ANY country, corporation, or entity. There are reasons to have information on everything. It's for the citizens safety. If you are a US Citizen and don't like it, leave the country. If you are not a US Citizen, be jealous that we are in control of a Hell of a lot of information, and its allowing us to weild more power and make better and more informed choices. Otherwise you die like the rest.

I've never seen so many HORRIBLE movies lately!! And slashdot has been covering them as well, for whatever reason. Scream 3? Mission to Mars? I don't even want to go into any more of them, the movies have just plain sucked lately. This movie was truly pathetic. Any component of the movie (plot/setting/theme/characters/acting/action/whate ver).. SUCKED!

Hey watch it BLarg! Right now APK is being the best XFree mirror out there in the US, off of our little colocated pentium 75 box (check my post about the mirror up at the top)
Anyway, of course we APKers are smart and have some linux action! The rest of cleveland though... i dunno..:)
but wait! the cleveland linux users group (CLUG) is one hell of a group! One of our leaders, Mat Kovacs, is the guy that's organizing the trip to CEDAR POINT for linux users! The new rollercoaster is gonna rock too. Chill out, Blarg! enjoy xf4

XFREE 4 IS FINALLY OUT!!!! YES! this makes me SO happy!!!
Anyway, I spoke to Head engineer from Nvidia, Nick, and he said that they'll be out very shortly (if they're not out already), and that they'll "kick the snot out of anything out there"..
i can't believe finally i will have 3d support! This better be for real! Thank you! Ok i'm gonna go get crazy somewhere

This is the crap that happens when you mix bad software (Symantic) with bad politics (censorship). Of course we're not surprised!
It seems that within this year, there's going to be some intense court cases that will influence MANY technological disputes. We must realize that and keep supporting ourselves.

Although M14 crashed just as often as Netscape did for me, last night's nightly build has been rock-solid for me so far. My question is, do I need to have M14 to get the PSM? If so, i'd rather just stick with my stable Mozilla and no crypto.

Very good statements. By allowing other companies to make great cards from their chips, NVidia has also made an extremely successful economic situation within its own chips! While NVidia is competing with companies like ATI for great chips, they are also allowing card manufacturers to also grasp these chips, and up the limits on them as well, while competing for lower prices.
This is great because there is a HUGE fight for quality and price-control, and it gets done at TWO levels! This means that NVidia chips from a good card-company with great options and speed will be top-notch.
Once NVidia gets out their XFree4 drivers (IF XFree4.....), they will destroy everything in sight. Supposedly, these drivers will "kick the snot out of anything else out there", says their Senior Engineer, Nick.
Because of this, I am in full support of NVidia

I wonder if the researchers on the Genome project use Gnome because they're almost spelled the same... and they're also very smart people, and anyone with half a brain and linux with x uses Gnome, of course:)

When the K7 was hyped and announced, I bought stock in it (it was around 17/share). This was one of the BEST investments I've ever made. This company does amazing things, and they are coming straight from the underdog's corner and taking a bite out of Intel's monopoly. I now own a 550 Athlon and love it.
AMD seems to realize how to win over much of the market - Low prices, high quality, and a good enough supply. They've also got plenty of the stuff they're working on for the future, making this investment better than ever. Where's intel? Still talking about the same project that's been going on for 3 stagnant years? I want my 3dnow NOW!:)
Although AMD's stock might be a bit higher than when I bought it, if you have as much faith in this company as I do, you should definitly consider buying it if you're into the market. This is no penniless web stock, this is a real deal company that's going to rock the desktop world. There's a reason why Gateway and other companies are signing back with AMD: Because it rocks!

I'll agree with you on this. I especially like clicking an MSIE button and seeing a blank window pop up in less than a second. That's all i ask for.
However, when MSIE crashes, it crashes HARD! Boom there goes your computer, reboot, pray, and what not.. but that's ok, i'm steady in linux and don't use it. (except to boot up for games, but that'll die once xfree4 and nvidia get crazy)
wait i'm in it right now! hahaha... at work on a coworkers computer. oh well:)

- I can copy/paste in and out of the program - save preferences easier (i think this has been fixed but i don't do CVS) - use CRYPTO! - Have it save the size of my window (fixed too?) - pages like www.cleveland.com will load (java shit)
how's the outlook for m14? Think i'll be able to trash netscape finally?
