They face between 27 and 33 months in prison, each, when they're sentenced at a later time.

Gates said US broadband would lag behind European and Far Eastern countries by "five to six years". He slammed US telecom providers and cable networks for recently increasing prices. Until uptake of broadband improved, Microsoft would concentrate on providing products for slower, narrowband services, he added.
  • Studios race to choke DVD copying - Tron is the author of a piece of software called SmartRipper, which allows DVDs to be copied fairly easily to a computer hard drive, and from there burned onto recordable DVDs. So far, it's hardly a threat on the level that Napster once was. But cross Tron and his peers with rapidly falling prices of DVD burners, and it's easy to see why Hollywood executives are nervous.

Ah, the Radeon8500LE is there, can't wait to get it :-)))) Compared to the Radeon8500, Max Payne looks like a dinosaur when you play it with a GeForce3. And now, the Radeon is ever faster than that lame GeForce too ;-)
