Happy to Share my birthday with my favorite distro. lenny on my dockstar. Mint on several other machines.

Its a regulation on the bandwidth block used for 4g. not the range for 3g. different frequencies, different rules.

I have found with My ADD that music (any music) and even having a movie (only movies I have already seen) playing in the background help to cancel out external stimuli and help me to be productive. Not every one is like this but for me it truly works. Perhaps with the right meds this would be a different story. If I am unable to block external stimuli I focus on everything. at least with media I have something I have already experienced taking the majority of the background leaving me to focus on what I need.

Though. Will the charge be based off base 2 capacities or base 10 capacities? off base 10 2.5x2k but off base 2 is 2.5x1863.

Advertising should be illegal for drug companies. That money should be better spent educating Doctors on the drugs. If its a prescription drug there is no need for the average user to be presented with it several times a day. This is why we have drug resistant germs. But then again in my opinion Doctors suck. Money grubbing asshole who will write a prescription for anything just for the revenue.

I wanted to mod Parent as funny. But I have a very sad feeling its true.

While I don't download music or movies due to paranoia. I do have a large collection. All of which is saved to my server, (debian core with 4 1tb sata drives in a raid 5 and fully Encrypted.) None of the PCs connected to it know its encrypted. Everything runs pretty fast. I average 56MBps transfer rates. and if it is powered off. I have to ssh into it to allow access to the drive again. FYI Random filling 3TB of space takes a really long time.

exactly. Of course with all other industries its about holding control as long as possible. Technically everything you do on your phone (smart or not) is nothing but data usage. your voice already uses a form of voip. not ethernet based but it is just data. the migration to data only plans is inevitable but I expect to see the phone companies fight it as long as possible.

I thought I read windows 7 was the last 32 bit OS. I have 2 single core 32bit Laptops running widows 7. What about them?

Laptop 13-17" with more than double the power $300-$800. Screw a 7-10" netbook and tablets with fairly limited function. I'll spend the extra $100 for the extra 3gb ram bigger HDD, better processor and video card. I never understood paying more for less.

I thought the monks were the first threat. http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Printing

I actually use to work for the Times as a tech and all I can say is, man you nailed it.

I am actually surprised I haven't ever seen anyone compare P2P to gun ownership. Guns are useful tools. They have many legitimate uses. However there are those who use them improperly. Rob others. Take lives. We need an NRA type organization for P2P.

Which would be as secure as RSA.
