That's really funny because I was reminded of bad acting in video games from the "multimedia" era while watching this.

Are they? That would be news if they also substituted characters.

Agreed. This is simply unacceptable. No other way about it.

The united states has a long history of undeclared wars. Vietnam and Iraq being the most recent obvious examples, but the list goes on. The public was unaware of much of what was going on. Just look at Panama.

As they are rolling out fiber they are disconnecting the copper from people's homes. Copper will stick around for a while for the reasons you mention, but it certainly is being depreciated. If I were him I would look into getting into work that is going to be here in 15 years. I wouldn't bet on ISDN still being around then.

Too bad you posted this anonymously. We need more people that will stand up to this tyranny. Who's watching the watchers?

They should have been tried as adults given the severity of their crimes.

That was super cool.

Have you ever used OS/2? Under a full load, even constantly swapping, it would be very responsive. Rarely did the UI feel like it was lagging. Compare to my windows 7 laptop. Under massive swap or a heavy load sometimes it takes ages just to get the interface to respond so I can switch a task or dial down priority and make the system usable again. That I have to manually turn down the priority of applications that slow my system to a crawl so other tasks can run says a lot about how much windows fails on multitasking compared to better operating systems. I like windows 7, but when I think back to OS/2, I still yearn for something that is as responsive.

I agree with you. The real issue is that a PC has a much narrower bus to move all of that data around. You can throw all the cores in the world in one box, and something like a modern mainframe will still stomp it because it is so much more massively parallel.

WTF????

We are sliding down the slope even faster.......now students are raised to expect to have no rights. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

Indeed. Did you see the other article on how they suspended someone's account for questioning the mainstream media?

NOT! Seriously does anyone else find this extremely disappointing? Our planet is FUCKED. Hello global warming!

Come on slashdot! Get it up! :P

I might add that I don't think this contractor is licensed if some other comments are correct. So its very likely a fly by night operation, but then again I could be totally wrong.
