Secure PDAs

An anonymous reader writes "This article at LinuxDevices.com introduces a unique Linux-based 'secure PDA' co-developed by IBM and Consumer Direct Link, Inc. (CDL). The Paron MPC combines the functions of a PDA, Bluetooth wireless access, cellular telephone, and biometric fingerprint recognition, along with a security-oriented hardware/software architecture. The device is claimed to be the world's first handheld wireless device with built-in biometric user authentication. The Paron is based on an Intel StrongARM SA-1110 processor and uses a Linux 2.4.x kernel and provides a GUI environment and PDA app suite based on Trolltech's Qtopia and Opera's browser much like the Sharp Zaurus."

The future of trolling.

[Anonymous Coward]

Trolling is dead. This place is dead. This place has been dead for far too long. The Revolution and The Rebirth are coming.

Trolling will be re-born.

A New Era dawns. The future grows near.

The Revolution will be devastating.
The Rebirth will be glorious.

The End Is Near.

The Revolution: December 31st, 2002
The Rebirth: January 1st, 2003

Trolling is dead.
Trolling will be born again.
Trolling will return.
Trolling will return with FIRE.
January 1st, 2003.
Mark your calendars.
Clear your calendars.
Reschedule your life.
Everything you know is a lie.
Everything you know is going to change.

This is not the end.
This is not the beginning of the end.
This is the end of the beginning.

The Third Age of Trolling is about to begin.

January 1st, 2003.

It's coming. The Rebirth.
You are powerless to stop it.
Only a fool would try.
If you are a troll, rejoice.
The time of our supremacy is at hand.

The Revolution is coming. The Rebirth draws near. The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth. It's all about to change... forevar. THE END: December 31st, 2002. THE BEGINNING: January 1st, 2003. History has come full-circle. Get ready to troll, motherfuckers.
