I bought an HX4700 before Dell came out with the x51v. If I had waited 2 months I would have got the Axim over the iPaq. Not to mention the 'touch pad' is freakishly annoying on the hx4700. I had the chance to use an axim, however, and the panel dell used was very sub par. My hx4700 still works and looks beautifully, except the touch pad has broken, and would cost me over 100$ to replace it. None of HP pdas to date appeal to me as a replacement, even though my current PDA is slightly broken... IMO, the smartphone industry killed the PDA. Thats why Dell dropped out and HP make such crapty PDAs as of late. If dell made a smartphone now with simmilar specs to the old axim, but with a better panel [like the sony panel on the hx4700] I would buy one in a heartbeat. As long as it's NOT running win mobile.
I have been using ws2k8-e for about 6 months now for my workstation/desktop. It's faster than regular vista and has the features I like about vista while not being full of bloat.
I also have ws2k8-e core on my media server.
Why don't we just dig out the eyes of our kids so they never have to run the risk of seeing something the parents fear may harm the child...
You all see how ridiculous this paranoid over-protectionist crap is, right?
The American scientist states that the Russian scientists statement is hypothetical... If I am not mistaken, weren't all theories, the ones we accept today as fact, hypothetical until tested and proven/disproved?
Mercury looks more and more like crematoria [from ridick] if it had that same kind of reactive surface as crematoria. It once may have had that kind of effect and has simply just exhausted its surface of reactive material. This would explain some of the surface scaring and channels.
I will have you know that I am CANADIAN not AMERICAN.
The host is at fault for, not just hosting a competition that is potentially fatal, but for her death as well. The host did NOT provide vital information concerning health implications. You can be brought to court just for that alone.
People should inform themselves on the laws of the country they are in. Failing to provide information about something that is being injested/consumed is an offense. This case ended in fatality. Therefore the host is liable for her death and the resulting damages concerning her death/family/burial.
Think about it. The bodies makeup is primarily water. Add more water and complications can arise that are potentially fatal.
The host of the competition IS at FAULT for her DEATH.
There is NO REASON this should have happened. A little research and time spent could have found that this competition COULD BE FATAL to participants.
Why would they NOT be held RESPONSIBLE for her DEATH when a bar owner is RESPONSIBLE for the SAFETY of its customers after a night of consuming alcohol?
Maybe now well be able to have proper hardware drivers.
If MSFT wants to sink alot of money into a Linux distro, then all the power to em. If it means ill be able to run Unreal 2007 and halo2 on linux with native support, and autocad and other CAD programs.
I would like to see a unified package system for Linux as well. Its just a pain in the ass having to compile programs from one system to another. especially when working in the server room wher i just want things to work the best they can without fuss.
I'm surprised, actually, that MSFT didn't do something like this earlier. It would sure put a choke hold on Apples Unix dominance with sound/music/video industry.
Although it might just be an early response to Vista. It very well could be the biggest flop that MSFT has released since ME.
It always amazes me how other countries, that are so technologically dense, seem to have the most screwed up and draconian laws and regulations on the planet.
I live in Canada. I like living in Canada, I like the freedoms that I am granted. If for one second I thought that i would be possibly putting myself or another in jail is appalling. I cant even begin to fathom the mindset of someone who goes to the cops and has an individual arrested for network access rights violations. If its such a problem that it is affecting the operation of the host, then the host should SECURE the fucking thing. Am i right?
I have experience with networks and securing unsecured APs. The first thing i tell someone when they call me is to RTFM for the router/switch and get over being compromised. Then I tell them how to fix the problem, assuming they are still around after i insulted them for being idiots for not doing the research FIRST before implementing the hardware.
Yes the kid is in the wrong here. Since it was not in an area where a known public-AP was. Other than that a small fine or a slap on the wrist, litterally, may be enough to remedy the situation.
Thats my two cents.

I don't really care if someone gets offended. If i know I'm right, I'll say it. Otherwise I'll keep my mouth shut.
Step #1: install a *nix distro.
Step #2: VMWARE the snot out of VISTA.
2.5: CRACK the VMWARE VISTA install.
Step #3: Distribute the crack.
Step #4: Install VISTA and laugh at MSFT for being ignorant f**k-tards for not blocking *nix "probing" methods.
ps.: you may not know this, but, the price of the OS is included in teh purchase price of the comp. You dont get anything for free if MSFT is involved. Unless *nix is used first.

Did you not know that all us canuks are crazy? Its a known fact. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/07/31/greyhound-transcanada.html
I had an Toshiba P-10 a few years ago. It had an Intel P4 3.2ghz socket 478 desktop chip in it. It was a beast.
I miss having a laptop though, as I don't have much time at home.
This 12pound monster is a little bit overkill unless it has 6gb ddr3 a pair of 500gb or 1tb drives in RAID and a SLI or crossfire-x solution in it.
Then it would almost be worth it if you just had to spend 5k on a laptop.
I can't get away from telemarketers and scammers ever since I added my effing number to that blasted registry.
Shortly after I added my home phone, I started getting calls on my cell, which is not connected to my home number at all.
I even changed my cell number to no avail... How the hell is that I keep getting scammers calling my cell 1 dam day after I change my effing number?
My government should get off their asses and make it a felony offense to sell private data like this.
I even get scam calls on my Skype account... WTF
As I wrote this I got 2 calls. One on my home phone and one on my cell.
If this keeps up I'll just turn off my cell, unplug my phone and make a network of cans on strings to the people I communicate with most.

I'd have to put my vote in for 3DO. It was, after all, the first console to use optical media.
Employ strict log-on hours and use a tool for remote shutdown/startup from the monitoring station.
big brother = PWNED
I wonder if this means 'geeks' are tuned for 1337....

Certainly looks like an OLPC Clone to me.
But what the hell, WHY NOT.
I am a little more proud to be Canadian now. Really. I am. Good for us.

Research a little before you lay blame.
It amazes me that hyperhydroxia is not known.

Does Verizon pull the lowest scoring math results to be hired to deal with the bills?
This makes no sense that it someone can't see the difference between 0.002 cents and 0.002 dollars.
WHAT THE HELL IS THEIR MALFUNCTION?

One Word for the Apple monopoly
iPod...
I think that about sums it up.
Now all i have to do is wait for the cell/router. If it needs help it will call me, i can call back to reset it, and be one my way again.
Ah, the life of a network tech might just get easier.
