    In the working world we call it a wage, it lets you buy real items, maybe even computer games. Nothing more rewarding then actualy being rewarded. :P Something to ponder.

    All I know is firefox has been about unsuable for long periods for about the last month.

    After having 10+ windows open for a while, firefox will be using 300+ MB, not a problem with 2GB of ram but it also seems to become ungodly slow until killed and reopend.

    I love firefox but they have created some major issues in the last few releases.

    "If you buy a photo from a photographer are you allowed to post it on the internet?"

    Yes you are, if you bought the photo you own the rights. If the photo was licenced to you on the other hand then you would not.

    My aunt actualy runs a photo library, they travel the world going to photo markets and buying photos to add to their library and then charge them out to magazines when they need a shot of x celebrity or so and so location. They don't need to have actualy taken the photos to own them.

    The seller sold the "laptop" as a whole, I would take this to include any data stored on the laptop.

  14. Re:Article Summary - Cheap Desktops NOT on Vista Beta 2 has Major Problems · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Clearly you haven't run the beta.

    Vista is not going to be twice as stressful as xp.

    If you can run xp well you can run vista well the only extra workload seems to be with the aero stuff (which needs a compliant graphics card to do the trasparencys and such).

    PC's have been far over powered for all but games for some years now I'm not sure what you think vista would be doing to need atleast a dual core.

  16. Re:... They already do...? on HD Video Could 'Choke the Internet'? · · Score: 1

    Of course every ISP has a get out clause it just dosn't make buisness sense to do it. But no one has ever been limited by them in any shape as far as know, no nasty letters or disconections, shapeing or p2p limiting. Then again I'd assume their network is still relativly undersubscribed and who knows what may happen in the future. If they do use their little get out clause then you know who will be first out of the door, me. At the moment there is no limit just a clause in a contract. There is quite some differance between the two.

  23. Re:IM on T-Mobile Releases New Card, Outlaws VoIP and IM · · Score: 3, Informative

    T-mobile and most other UK networks used to have free sms up until around 2000. This helpd develope a massive TXT culture where people could SMS even with no credit on pay as you go phones.

    Afterall SMS are sent in blank space in the background comunication required to hold a connection to the tower. So certainly delivering SMS within a cell is virtual costless.

    Once SMS was secured as a well used medium, prices where introduced and suckers continue to pay.

    O2 offer thousands of free SMS a month even on their pay as you go packages so it's not accross the all netoworks. Different operators have different packages. T-mobile normaly always being one of the worst except for basic calls only packages. So I use tmob for my personal mobile, o2 for buisness 3G phone and datacard.
