[deletia] <br> Actually, I mentioned the JooJoo specifically because it's been published <br> that it's going to be an ION machine and I already run machines with that. <br> You know... &quot;personal first hand experience&quot;. <br> [deletia] <br> As much as the members of the cult might want to claim otherwise, it <br> doesn't take &quot;magic&quot; to blow the stated specs of the ipad out of the water.

They've documented the GPU/SoC in use. It doesn't get any better <br> nailed down than that. <br> [deletia]

No you don't. Something other with Windows or msoffice is quite <br> sufficient for communicating with the rubes. You can use something <br> entirely else and they will be completely unaware. <br> [deletia]

Actually, if they want to send the H.264 video, users will either get <br> the video or get a stub. If the player plug-in is installed, they get <br> the video, otherwise they don't. On the other hand, if they use <br> theora, they know the user will see the video. <br> Actually, it's very consistent with the design of Mozilla, which is

Or that you've been rumbled for the hypocritical little fraud that you <br> are. Hold on. Didn't you call me a &quot;cunt&quot; and some other OSS programmers <br> &quot;fuck heads&quot;. Yes. You did. <br> What are you talking about? <br> Are you really so dense that you dont see the benefits of less fringe <br> Distros gathering dust to that wasted effort being used to improve the

You can get that functionality for $39 with Delorme Earthmate and <br> an existing Windows laptop/netbook. <br> I just ordered one. We'll see if it works under Linux+VMware+XP.

In article &lt;hnub1h$fk...@news.eternal-sep tember.org&gt;, <br> Disk space is cheap by the gigabyte; it's not as cheap when you're <br> adding entire data centers.

I've noticed that with Time Warner here. I have both Directv and TW, <br> and I've never seen the artifacts on Directv. See them all the time <br> on cable. I only keep it around because they offer some channels in HD <br> that are not available in HD on Directv, such as msnbc and amc, maybe <br> others. Oh, and they have that TW-only channel 14 that my wife insists

I have room for improvement, then. :)
