New Linux-based PDA due September
Bill Kendrick writes "LinuxDevices.com has a preview of a new Linux-based PDA due out next month. Some of you might recognize the form-factor; it's from Softfield, the folks who ended up with the rights to the first commercial Linux-based PDA, the black-and-white, MIPs-based Agenda VR3. Softfield's new model, the MX-7, sports a 200MHz CPU, full-color 240x320 display, 32MB Flash and 64MB RAM, an SD card slot, and Trolltech's Qtopia environment. All for $299 USD."
I want one.
Remember that Public Display of Affection is illegal in some states, Linux-based or not.
Also, don't forget to add the $32 to each price you receive from the vendor. Those guys will rip off the hardowrking people of SCO like you wouldn't believe.
.. Why is it that every time I load the Slashdot main page I get the advert showing that fat bitch Judy Branch and how much she saved at eBay?
Did she take her savings and buy food with it or what?
She needs to invest in a liposuction machine or maybe some Weightwatchers programs.
Your getting your ass kicked by TT/KDE, wheres YOUR embeded environment. But no, all you wan't is a knockoff desktop environment without the features and easy to use file dialog.
Someone say something stupid about SCO. Just cut and paste from the last article, originality has no place here.
Easy karma for you, soothing groupthink for the rest of us.
Thank you.
'Phish' Bassist Arrested; Allegedly Found In Secluded Area With 9-Year-Old

NEW YORK -- A Phish is on the hook for endangering the welfare of a minor after he allegedly tried to take pictures of a young girl inside a deserted boathouse, according to a report.
Mike Gordon, 38, was arrested after being found late at night in a secluded area with a 9-year-old girl. The girl's parents raised an alarm when she disappeared from a backstage area at Jones Beach Theater, WNBC-TV reported. But following private conversations between the band's manager and the child's parents, there's a question about whether the band's bassist will avoid facing that charge.
New York State Park Police say Gordon showed a different side after a concert last week by The Dead. Investigators say Gordon -- who calls himself "Cactus" -- was an invited guest backstage at Jones Beach. He was not invited, they say, to take a 9-year-old girl to an isolated location behind the theater.
"The area is actually like a work area for state employees who operate boats out of that area," said Maj. Richard O'Donnell, of the New York State Park Police. "It's a darkened area, not intended for public access."
O'Donnell, who is the region's commanding officer, would not discuss what the bass player told officers when he was found with the child on a dock. But a police report obtained by WNBC-TV reveals "The defendant stated he wanted to take 'art photos' of the victim."
Police confirm that Gordon has never been convicted of any crime. Law enforcement sources said that after the band member was arrested, he told officers, "I may have shown bad judgment, but I am not a pedophile."
The Law enforcement sources identify the girl's father as a leader of the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club, whom they say had also been invited backstage to watch The Dead concert. Gordon was held for police by theater security "and the victim's father's associates -- which the police report decribes as other Hell's Angels members.
When responding to a request for an interview, Phish's manager e-mailed a joint statement from Gordon and the child's parents that reads: "It is now clear to all involved that this was an unfortunate misunderstanding, and we look forward to putting this matter behind us."
Later, in a conference call, the manager said Gordon's trying to "make amends" with the family. The girl's father added that "muckraking journalists should put the story to rest."
Both declined to discuss whether the musician is paying compensation.
When asked by WNBC-TV if there was any reasonable explanation for Gordon to have been with the girl at 1:00 AM in a secluded boat house, Maj. O'Donnell of the State Park Police said "I have no explanation for it."
The commander says he "absolutely" stands by the police investigation and has referred the bass player's boathouse rendezvous case to the Nassau County district attorney for prosecution.
The DA's office says the evidence is being evaluated. Regardless of whether Gordon has to face a judge next month, law-enforcement sources say unofficial justice was already delivered. The Hell's Angels, who detained Gordon for police, were not, the sources say, gentle with sensitive areas of the rock star's body.

Having Linux as its OS is good...but the main reason I like GNU software is that ALL of the engineers are properly circumcised.
I wish that was the case with Linux developers but unfortunatly they are almost always uncut. Alan "uncut" Cox, and Linus "longskin" Torvalds are the prime offenders of the aardvark cock disease.
As a GNU groupie chick, I must say Linux dicks are totally uncircumcised and totally GROSS! Haven't you linux developers heard of circumcision? It's time to get it.
I'm upset that Stallman is even letting the Linux kernel be used with properly developed GNU software created by beautifully circumcised developers. HURD all the way, because you KNOW you won't find any aardvark, elephant trunk SICK GROSS and puke inducing UNCIRCUMCISED dicks with the HURD kernel.
I recommend everyone circumcise their sons because why let *anyone* suffer from this disease? Uncircumcised guys probably get laid only by hookers and even then will NEVER get a blowjob!

Just for the record, the real price is $331. They must have forgot about the $32 SCO because-we-can fee.

that comes due immediately. there's no going back, & nowhere to hide. anyone who shall endeavor to harm the least of the innocents, harms all of us. reparations will be made by you/us, as the walking dead have no conscience/will be unavailable.
of course that's off topic, as the hobbyists are the total opposite of the phonIE payper liesense corepirate nazis.
you gnu/software folks are to be commended. we'd be nearly doomed by now without y'all. the check's in the mail again.
meanwhile... for those yet to see the light.
don't come crying to us when there's only won channel/os left.
nothing has changed since the last phonIE ?pr? ?firm? generated 'news' brIEf. if anything the situations are continuing to deteriorate. you already know that.
the posterbouys for grand larcenIE/deception would include any & all of the walking dead who peddle phonIE stock markup payper to millions of hardworking conservative folks, & then after stealing/spending/disappearing the real dough, pretend that nothing ever happened. sound familiar robbIE? these fauxking corepirate nazi larcens, want us to pretend along with them, whilst they continue to squander yOUR "investmeNTs", on their soul DOWt craving for excess/ego gratification. yuk
no matter their ceaseless efforts to block the truth from you, the tasks (planet/population rescue) will be completed.
the lights are coming up now.
you can pretend all you want. our advise is to be as far away from the walking dead contingent as possible, when the big flash occurs. you wouldn't want to get any of that evile on you.
as to the free unlimited energy plan, as the lights come up, more&more folks will stop being misled into sucking up more&more of the infant killing barrolls of crudeness, & learn that it's more than ok to use newclear power generated by natural (hydro, solar, etc...) methods. of course more information about not wasting anything/behaving less frivolously is bound to show up, here&there.
cyphering how many babies it costs for a barroll of crudeness, we've decided to cut back, a lot, on wasteful things like giving monIE to felons, to help them destroy the planet/population.
no matter. the #1 task is planet/population rescue. the lights are coming up. we're in crisis mode. you can help.
the unlimited power (such as has never been seen before) is freely available to all, with the possible exception of the aforementioned walking dead.
consult with/trust in yOUR creator. more breathing. vote with yOUR wallet. seek others of non-aggressive intentions/behaviours. that's the spirit, moving you.
pay no heed/monIE to the greed/fear based walking dead.
each harmed innocent carries with it a bad toll. it will be repaid by you/us. the Godless felons will not be available to make reparations.
pay attention. that's definitely affordable, plus you might develop skills which could prevent you from being misled any further by phonIE ?pr? ?firm? generated misinformation.
good work so far. there's still much to be done. see you there. tell 'em robbIE.
I went to Europe once on vacation, and boy was I sorry. I met a cute guy, and went back to his place. He dropped his pants and I almost barfed! I took one look at it and turned around and ran to my hotel.
That shit looks totally nasty. I couldn't get laid my whole month in Europe because no one was circumcised!! I'm a hot blonde who is an IT manager, and I must say, if I ever have to leave the US for a long time, I'm making sure I'm bringing an American male with me who is circumcised.
I agree with you 100% GNU chick. I don't understand why women in Europe put up with uncircumcised guys. If it is done as a baby, then they wont even remember it. Done later in life, the small amount pain can build character.
Guys are famous for avoiding doctors, but this proceedure really will make european men like it. Imagine how they'll feel getting their first blowjob in their whole lives! Sex more then just for reproduction! I bet Europe's population would double just because of this simple character building operation.
You need a proof of circumcision to get a Passport.

Removing the clit is like removing the penis! You insensitive clod. Female circumcsion is MUTILATION and bad, while male circumcision is good because it prevents cancer in men and cervical cancer in women. It reduces AIDs rates and improves sensitivity and looks in the penis.
Those are old wives' tales. I spoke seriously with more than a couple of doctors when my first son was born, and the decision was already made for my second son. Teach your kids how to bath properly, and there will never be a problem with your decision not to sexually mutilate them.
Of course, if you're too lazy to teach them to bath, then you probably shouldn't be reproducing in the first place.
Like what I said? You might like my music
If it doesn't run Ogg then can we actually say it will be useful? (tongue removed from cheek)
Your tongue, sir, should be removed from Emmett Plant's ass.
