Jornada Killed, iPaq To Live On

MartinG writes "According to the news at handhelds.org "HP/Compaq merger completed. HP Jornada will be discontinued in favor of HP iPAQ. HP Labs will continue to support Linux on the iPAQ. In particular, we plan to complete the Linux port to the Jornada 56x." I couldn't see any further details, but interesting news nonetheless."

  5. CmdrTaco - US Flag Desecrator & Anti-Delewaria by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    As noted on the Smithsonian Institution's site, the first official American flag had thirteen stars and thirteen stripes, each representing one of the thirteen original states.

    The flag icon for Slashdot's 'United States' section is missing its first stripe - the stripe that represents Delaware, the first state admitted to the Union. While a simple oversight could be forgiven, it should be known from here on out that Slashdot is in fact aware of the missing stripe, and even worse, refuses to do anything about it!

    This vulgar flag desecration and rabid anti-Delawarism must be put to a stop. Let the Slashdot crew know that we will not accept a knowingly mutilated flag or the insinuation that Delawarians deserve to be cut out of the union. I ask you, what has Delaware done to deserve this insolence, this wanton disregard, this bigotry?

    This intentional disregard of a vital national symbol is unpatriotic. Why, the flippant remarks CmdrTaco made about our flag border on terrorism! I urge you to join the protest in each 'United States' story. Sacrifice your karma for your country by pointing out this injustice. Let's all work together to get our flag back. Can you give your country any less?

    Greetings fellow goatse lovers, you needn't be Wavy Gravy to know that the OP is quite right. Let's also boycott the stock market, because most of their infrastructure is run by VMS.

    Somebody has to stand up to these trolls. I might as well be me.

    From now on, I will reply to every troll. That will show them! After a while they will get tiried of my posts and leave slashdot. It will be a better place then. We can live with banners. We can live with donations. Heck, we can even live with Jon Katz' submissions. But we cannot live with trolls. Please join me in my quest to answer all troll posts!

    Its been 3 months since my last bootup into Windows ME.

    Great! So you were able to run win ME without rebooting for 3 months.

    That's true, I didn't mean to imply otherwise. There is no reason you cannot be Insightful or Funny without having read the article. However, your joke's errors made no sense in terms of a) the headline (which you at least had to have seen when you clicked on it to post), and b) English, in the use of the word "conservatory."

    I understand that you sacrificed accuracy to get the most "impressions." That is acceptable. Just my $0.02.
