That was too funny....
I was talking about Telephones being comoditized to the point where one will not need a telephone provider... at least not one that empties your wallet. At that point, All you'll need is a phone number and all our phones are on the internet. We already know how to do this (http://www.enum.org)
cheers

Vonage has at least two problems. 1. They operate like Big-Business (2.5 million customers, and losing money like a drunken sailor) 2. Vonage is destoying Big-Telco's cash cow.
I think the technology is great, but Vonage will be taken down by people who have too much to lose if IP telephony becomes more prevalent and prices keep falling.
Thankfully, this tided will not be stopped. They are at least half a dozen vonages on the internet, and hundreds of vonages to come... until Telephone becomes just like today's email. cheers, p00p
I have a dv8000 running ubuntu (breezy, dapper-64bit, dchroot-dapper-32bit) and fedora. I can't say much about the fedora install, but using ubuntu on the dv8000 is plain sweet
The exciting part of Ajax is basically the XMLHttpRequest... and this means you can send messages between client and server without a reload, click... so you're telling me it's better not to have this feature than to have it? Please don't mention flash and java... these are 3rd pary apps like the old cold fusion... they work for some people... but have nothing to do with web technologies. my $0.02...
a rocket based ship won't save you from the kind of impact we are discussing
The space shuttel is rocket-booster based... I meant capsules carried by rockets. No worries about foam at takeoff, nor do you have to babysit a radiator or whatever fancy part some government contractor shoves down our throats.
How about lowering the risk by ditching this fragile and overpriced glider they call the space shuttle. rockets worked before... and they still work now.
Too bad we found out so late in the game, or I wouldnt have likely voted for him again.
When did you wake up from your sleep. Idiots like you should NOT vote.

that's stupid. we need computers... we just don't need a glider riding on the side of an orange fuel tank.

You are paying for bandwidth? ok. you will now pay for latency.
Why shouldn't one who overpays for a music player also overpay for the music?
