good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
card--no game)?
\_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
most machines were custom built.

doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
Is this expected to work?
\_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address. The IPv6 addresses you see

will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

nightmare of poor IO performance should hopefully be over. Prepare for
another long nightmare of poor hardware reliability!

\_ Could only have happened if the Mac App Store had been a wild, wild
success, and they were willing to give up Steam. Games/dual-booting
is strategically valuable to not driving people away from macs.
A new ARM iOS based device, or opening the Apple TV to iOS apps
(same thing, really) would be much more likely than sabotaging their

code in Fremont, and AT&T customer service says I cannot transfer my
DSL service because DSL is not available at my new home. Is that BS?
Are they just trying to push me to subscribe to their more expensive
U-verse service? I'm not asking for any lightening-speed connection.

out and play Xvid and Divx video. Does such a beast exist?
\_ I saw someone on BART about a year ago watching movies on a device
about 1" think and just slightly larger than a DVD. I didn't quiz
her on what formats it supported but I was sure jealous she was
watching a movie while I was watching Oakland go by.

as a TV in my bedroom and/or outside on my covered patio. It has
to be able to receive HDTV (digital) signals over the air when
regular NTSC stops in 2009 (it will not have cable or satellite TV
connected to it but I am willing to buy a small "rabbit ear" type
of antenna) and I also want to be able to connect a computer to

any recommendation on Apple TV alternatives?

a DISH directly to my Mac and stream that wirelessly to any TV in

to buy everything from one company (like all-sony) or should I go
for best of breed? I'm looking to spend ~$5K only, nothing fancy.
Suggestions? Thanks.
\_ For $5k, I'd definitely go best of breed. Especially when it
comes to selecting speakers. One recommendation: go with Velodyne
