    You are correct - moreso, as basically, the entire 5150 was outsourced - see http://www.tmworld.com/article/CA187350.html

    I think that they got the keyboard wrong - I recall that IBM bought out the company that came up with those beasts, as it was going nowhere with that monster.

    What is a GT/s? (Honest question, looking for an honest answer.)

    Giga-Transfers per second (or at least that's what google found).

    I hope they have plenty of spare capacitors on board!

    Those temps are much higher than what you'd be cooking a pizza at.

    Reheating, maybe. Cooking pizza is usually above the 200 - 230 degrees or so that a reflow oven heats things to.

    And I just learned that in this thread. Ha! I learned something from Slashdot. And the skies are full of blood. Hurm.

  5. Re:Fully intact? by mmontour · · Score: 2 · on What happens When You Cook Your Palm Pilot

    Interestingly, the electronics looked to be pretty intact for the temperature it was cooked at,

    It's not too surprising; surface-mount components are attached to circuit boards by applying solder paste, then passing the whole board through a reflow oven to melt the solder.

    Sorry to take the limelight away from the story, but Voice over IP is choppy as hell especially if your a typical user thinking about serving off some vhf *anything* even over dsl.

    Too tired to get into specifics so here's some quick links.

    Is VoIP secure?

    Measuring VoIP for Jitter and Loss

    VoIP Invasion Are You Ready For It? (long!!!)

    As for thinking your gonna reach around the globe, sure you can in theory, provided all PBX's and routers are configured properly, there aren't any bottlenecks along the route, etc. Pretty hard thing to do for under 175 US dollars when Fortune 500's spend tens of thousands on PBX equipment and can't get it right ;\
