I don't know about you, but when I open my case to upgrade my harddrive/videocard/whatever I find that most of the dust is either being drawn in by the fans, or collected on the fans.
I think a real solution to that would be some kind of filter. I have one cast that has a filter over the fan in the front of the case and that works very well, I think that would be better then more fans. --
From what I've heard IE for OS X is actually the same IE that runs on OS whateverbeforeX but it runs in OS X's emulator. That could be why it has issues. Makes you wonder how other preOS X apps will run. --
The point is, they pay the postage based on a normal letter. If it weighs more they have to pay more in postage, causing the junk mailer to pay more money. --
That's a very good question. And AIM has toc, the open server that most non-ad-serving clients use. How could the possible make ANY money out of that.
I know ICQ sells a copy of their server for inter-office use, but I can't see that market being very large. They have to pull a profit from somewhere.. --
I think IM for chatting just tends to be easier in general. You don't have all the other people talking about crap you don't want to talk about while you're trying to have a conversation. Plus with all the skript kiddies DoSing all the IRC servers you're lucky to find your buddy on at the same time you are.
Look at the popularity of GAIM for Linux, it's better then the windows client and widely used by *nix people. Hell, I used it on my solaris box at my old job. --
Mostly because IMs are more one-on-one then a chat room on IRC. sure, you can/msg people but IMs are more convient. I use both IRC and AIM, and sometimes I talk to the same people on both. it really depends on what I'm talking about and if I want a whole chatroom to hear it.
Also, at work, my boss HATES people to be on IRC, but for AIM/ICQ they don't really care, in fact we use ICQ for inter-office stuff all the time. --
for product like ArcServ. There is a way around not having an internet connection, but it does require a phone call. I'm sure there's a way to re-install if you switch computers, it's just going to be a huge pain in the ass --
because DVDs scan like CDs and let you jump to any point of the movie in an instant. D-VHS would be good for recording TV shows and alike, but not produced DVDs you can buy in a store. --
"Linux users will have to overcome their desire for Open-Source. Gamers probably don't have this problem, but it bears mentioning. See also #3."
This is a good point. Just becuase it's opensource, doesn't mean it's good. Opensource also isn't a good business model for selling software. It works for RedHat and others because they sell large bundles with support and such. But who's going to need support for something like a linux version of HalfLife or other game. And who is serously gonna pay $40-$60 for a game when they can get the source for free and compile it themselves? --
From the article - "ColorMax acquired a broad patent license covering the human genes for color vision from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. The patent also covers a revolutionary test for color blindness based on a simple analysis of the actual genes that cause the problem. The new test is the first major improvement in color vision testing in the last half of a century. It is also the first totally objective color vision test that can consistently classify color vision deficiencies. As such, it offers a solution to the problem of setting uniform standards in the workplace. And, for the first time, accurate testing of preschool and kindergarten aged children will be possible." --

Also, what are you suppose to do about dust? Seems to me that two dust particles would take out one of these fans so fast.

How hard would it be to port this/get it to run under Linux/FreeBSD.
I know many people (like myself) would LOVE to see IE for Linux. I ran IE for Solaris a while back and it was great, much better then Netscape.
I belive it was that debate is where I got the idea that IE for OS X ran under the emulator.

Nah, I think it's better to say that IM is the telephone of the internet and IRC is the partyline of the internet.

There's evidence that CD media has a lifespan of 15 years on average.

CD formats also degrade over time, just not as much.

Sorry to say, not everybody does it for the love of it, they do it for the love of money.
