Slashdot Mirror


Linux PDA Resurfaces in U.S.

An anonymous reader writes "A high-end Linux-based Sharp Zaurus PDA thought to be discontinued in the US is actually available from two sources. The SL-6000L is available from stock from 10East, a seller of vertical market systems for the railroad industry which has established a direct manufacturing relationship with Sharp Japan, it says. The Wi-Fi equipped SL-6000L is also available in single quantities from SDG Systems, which, incidentally, is porting Linux to several PDAs that normally run Windows, including the super-rugged TDS Recon."

    Ever notice the "beat the rush and see it early" link at the top of slashdot when a new story is about to come out? Sounds good, doesn't it? To be able to view the pages linked to in the article before the tens of thousands of other slashbots click to view them. Did it ever occur to you that you're taking part in cyber-terrorism? That's right: Slashdot's editors are cyber-terrorists. They coordinate a DOS against small websites, and they attempt to collect moeny from people who wish to be spared the effects of said DOS. Terrorism, plain and simple. You can fight this and other crimes by slashdot's editors by joining anti-slash. Anti-slash is committed to forcing the editors to own up to their numerous crimes against the geek community. Until our demands are met, we will relentlessly discredit them as a news service through trolling and other means. Also, props to poopbot and the alan thicke troll. We remember your accomplishments.

    >> especially if this slashdot post causes many people to buy them.

    Dude. You're talking about the crowd that "buys" things via BitTorrent. The /. crowd might melt their web server but it won't take all their stock, unless there is a way to download it without paying...

    Oh my god! They posted a story that you don't care about. I guess timothy forgot to run it by you before approving it this time. What were they thinking? I mean, it even says on the front page: "News For jmcmunn. Stuff that matters (to jmcmunn)."

    Only how do I see how terrible slashdot is. All those people that complain about every single article are so right. I guess the only thing to do now is make empty threats about leaving then reloading every five minutes to see if anyone responded.
