New Palm Pictures?
New Palm writes "It looks like pictures of a new Palm os5 device codenamed 'Oslo' have hit the web. www.pocketpcthought.com had them up, but after a phonecall from Palm's Director of Global Information Security, pulled the pictures. A number of people are mirroring them. Looks semi-legit - but who knows, and who knows how long the images will stay up?
Having been fed up with my Palm Vx slow processor and 8 MB limit, I completley had my mind made up about buyinng the new Sony Clie T665C. Now that the Palm OS 5 powered, ARM processor packed, devices are on the horizon, looks like I will suck up on my Vx a little longer. Hopefully not too long.
Anyone knows how long will it be till we get those?
It seems the ./ crew got so sick and tired of people trying to get 50 karma, they now changed it to a less quantifying system. (this is based on something i remeber reading a short time ago where a ./ member mentioned that giving karma a name and a value was the worst mistake they made with slashdot)
My karma used to be 50, but when i now view my info page, it now shows 'excelent'.
Very OT, i know, but i didnt find a reference to it yet, so i figured it was a interesting tid-bit to share
Why are my posts automatically at 0, even though nobody's moderated them today? I'm not a troll! People might have disagreed with my past posts, but I've never played a troll. Is this what you get when Slashdot disagrees with you? So much for free speech :| Bah.
Someone you trust is one of us.
Yesterday afternoon I had 48 karma. Today it's excellent. No announcement from the editors. No update of the faq which still says the karma cap is 50, not 'excellent'. Since I guess I don't have the ability to track karma on a point basis anymore, I'm not going to post as an anonymous coward, cuz now I really don't fucking care if you mod me down as off-topic. Since there is no story about this, there is nowhere for me to make this comment and have it be on-topic, but it's clearly relevant to the slashdot community.
Thank you so much editors, now I will be free to troll and troll and troll, which is what this is going to encourage for anyone that had high karma. You really might want to reconsider how you view karma, you don't see it as a point keeping system, but it is. Once I had maxed out my karma a while back, I really lost interest in posting about most issues. What keeps people playing games like Everquest? The eternal desire to have more experience, more gold, more of some kind of point system than others. Same thing kept me posting.
Strange, the way the modding goes on /. sometimes. I genuinely was just speculating, but I suppose if someone's in a bad mood...
Hint: check the link in my sig.
Since I've already been bitch-slapped, I think I'm safe from further repurcussions. Although, this post should allow me to find out what the next step down from "excellent" is!
I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
WTF is up with this?
