Well, in the UK you can anything with your tv, shop, bank, you name it. However, the protocalls seem to be controlled by the companies that are providing the service, each one not wanting to tell the other how they are doing it. Soon I hope they will realise that working together is better, but it does not look that way at the moment.
The most promising option looks like cable, all the satelite brodcasting relies on dial-up, same with simple brodcast (aerial on the side of the house, land based transmitters) digital (called ON Digital here). Cable has the option for very high bandwidth, and would be excellent for browsing the net if TV's get better.
I believe what we need is an esd compatiable replacement that will work with alsa, which has to be the next sound standard, and I hope it replacess OSS in 2.5.
As for using OGG Vorbis everywhere, yea, I like the standard, and I want to use it (when it is finished) but for system sounds, have you any idea how much system time that would use, ok, it might be nothing for a PIV-1GHz, but for a P-166 it takes most of the system time to play OGG Vorbis, please don't forget that before moving everything to OGG Vorbis.
Well, I wish that was the case in the UK but it is simply not, I am stuck, I had to drop out of High School before I could finish my Highers (A-Levels for the English) so I cannot get into college, even if I have the ability, because the person who runs the courses did not like me, so he did not let me in. Now I am stuck out of the system, with tallent, but no where to go, and I am going to have to go and burger flip for Ronald McDonald, even if I have all the experence and tallent in the world.
As for the Americans being behind us, if what the man above said is true, about anyone being able to access edcuation then they are light years ahead of us brits.
You are joking, you have to pay for incomming calls, would someone please reply to this and tell me it is a joke, because I don't believe it. I knew that compaired to Britain cell service in the US sucks, but I didn't think it was that bad!
Ah well, I hope it gets better for you all one day:)
I have always known that the.0 releases of RH have been bad, this is a known fact, but I think that RH should tell people about it too. It would be very nice if RH classed.0 alpha,.1 beta and.2 stable, as it is in RL.
Ah well, I will be sticking with DEBIAN anyhoo:)
The everybuddy (http://www.everybuddy.com) client which uses all of the messaging system has support for pgp/gpg through a patch that you can appily. All you would have to do is have EB at both ends and the chat session would be secure:)
Why is it that the gov and the courts and everyone else that has been put into power to protect 'us' the people against the evil things in this world never seem to do anything about companies like DC who issue ceast and desist orders at the drop of a hat and will then leave there servers open to attack so that other evil people can get our personal info. I some times think that the police/military/sceret services just sit back and let things happen, and don't do anything until we say something!

The people who really need to learn are those in the so called 'real world'. They all need to re-learn the values we all know and love. In the net the values of freedom and privacy, amongst others, are up held, many people work to keep it this way, and I believe the people in the 'real world' should learn from us, and not the other way about.
Then again, you might want the net to become another play ground for the rich, where most people are just pawns, like it is in the 'real world'
No, Mozilla does not rule, have you had a look at the size of the thing, IT IS HUGE!!!! I really wish that mozilla did rule, but it is just too big, that is why Galeon was started, now there is a browser that rules.
There is no reason that a web browser should deal with mail/news/irc/everything!!!
Lets not go down the IE route with Mozilla and make it an OS!!!
You dudes go and put this on me. I live in Scotland, and it has always been my dream to have a tech job in the US, but now you come and tell me this!
BTW, if anyone has a job going, you can get me at lazzurs@(the domain name above)
Yea, but that is not important, because mp3's replacment is just around the corner, it is called vorbis, it is very open and it is way better than mp3:)
Ok, maybe it is just me and my paranoid mind, but am I the only one that can see that the big corps are planning something.
It has always been said that the next great war will not be one of guns and bombs, but one of information. Well, what I see hapenning is that they are removing our tools to fight, does any one remember why all you Americans have the right to have guns in the first place???
I think that in the same spirit we should have the tools to fight a war of information, but all the big corps are disable all out tools to fight this war, we are not allowed to record information, what next?
Well maybe I am just nuts, but this is my two cents.
How about a new GPL but for drivers. I could state that, yea, you can change the code, yea, you have the code, but no, you are not allowed to make hardware products from this code, but anything else could be allowed. Now I am sure that this kind of thing is not beyond the power of the lawyers that these companies have!!!
As for installing new software of windoze machines, I know that if the system is 'stable' then I won't unless I really need to, that is where most windoze problems come from, because every new program just installes it's own versions of system libs (this is one of the major reasons that windoze is so unstable, and why MSCE's can do it right) I think that admin should be for System Admins, and using computers should be for Computer Users, lets not get the two mixed up!
Yea, I have Everyday 50, on orange, plus I got the kick ass Nokia (the ONLY cellphone brand worth bothering about!) 3210, plus hands free, plus free covers, plus free leather case, plus free car kit, plus free joining! I use it instead of the land line, because the land line is always on the internet (Wish I could get broad band!!!)
Erm, ok, I have been reading through all the posts, this is pathetic, could the UK have the best cellphone coverage. 1/ We have cell coverage almost everywhere! 2/ My tariff is 15 pounds a month, with 50 mins free calls per day, and just 1 pence per min after that! Come on people, this can't be true, prove me wrong, show how much better the reat of the world is!!!
No way man, I would slap these people with a lawsute so fast it would hurt, that is a pathetic idea, spam on my cell phone, I would like to see someone try, BTW, if anyone is intrested my cellphone number is +447730300034 fell free to spam me, have fun with it!
Well, I get/. headlines evey few hours to my cellphone through the text (SMS) system, it is great, now I only check/. when something I want to hear about is on it, which in turn reduces the load on the server, which in turn makes the world a better place:o)
Hey, well here in Britain we have something called "Pay as you talk" no monthly charge, and you pay for mins when you use them, you have money stored on the phone, it works great, I am surprised you don't have it, it really took off here, the only problem is that you now have 6 year olds running around with their own cell phones!!!
I Hope all the people who have posted replies about how un-loved Debbie is are ashamed of themself's. I hope that it did not give the author too much hassle at home because it was a great post. If you are going to shoot me you better hit first time - ARL
