Yah. I've been hanging out for a PPC2002 (or whatever an Asus 716 runs) version of Opera for ages. I've already bought it for the S60 and I'd buy it for my PocketPC the moment it's available.
Pocket IE is *awful*. For a start, it crashes all the damn time. And it doesn't know how to cope with pages that have a large boarder defined in their css. I've seen pages with one word per line down the middle (more or less) of the screen.
I really want Opera for the Pocket PC (their S60 version is stunning), but I'll take what I can get.
Mozilla has been available for the PS2 for ages. Just get the Linux kit. I think it was the third thing I installed. (Distributed.Net client, Moria, Mozilla...)

Let me assure you that it is not a crappy phone -- at least the original N-Gage isn't. Can't really speak for the QD, though I suspect you've never touched either model.
This Antec case not only comes with a 120mm fan, but the hard drives are mounted using rubber grommets so as to reduce the transfer of vibration to the case.
I bought a fairly extreme PC recently (based on that whacky Gigabyte dual-GPU video card, the 3D1) and there are two fans on the video card, a chipset fan, a fan on a little power supply daughter board, the CPU fan (I chose a Zalman 7000-series), two fans in the power supply (also Antec) and that one big 120mm fan at the back. It's not silent, but when you've got a room of people all playing World of Warcraft, you can't hear it. It's certainly quieter than an older PC with only three or four fans, including a stock CPU fan and cheap power supply.
The books have a magnetic security strip and a barcode. You have a swipe-card (I think with a barcode too). You swipe your card, scan the book and the machine then demagnitizes the book. If you don't check it out, the alarm goes off at the door.
We have a winner. This happened to me one time, years back. I worked it all out then and your description matches my memory.
However, your solution misses the same scenario that eBay's cut 'n paste response does: What if I'm bidding on multiple items within a single budget. In those cases, I bid less that I'm willing to pay for each individual item to keep my commitment below a certain level. Each time I'm outbid on something, my total commitment goes down, then I can increase my bids on one or more remaining items.
Is there a program that will make my Pocket PC (Asus 716) behave like a normal USB drive so I can copy stuff on and off of it without needing the ActiveSync app installed?
Your cell phone provider will treat this call the same way it treats all incoming calls. Most likely that means it will just charge you at your normal airtime rate.
Huh? Do you get charged for incoming calls in the US?
Sure, 512MB looks good on paper, but it's hardly impressive when you look through that little window in the side of the case. Real "boy racers" go for things like the Gigabyte 3D1 dual-GPU card. (Posers do "normal" SLI -- losers.) Hopefully mine should arrive today.

Opera's Series 60 web browser manages to do well on 176x208, so I can't imagine they'd have much problem with 240x320.

There's no such thing as 2.
It is of no consequence. It's like refusing to use a computer because the mouse is the wrong colour.

But I was making the point as to why people might care, not that the "right" people were being paid for it.
I use DR-DOS every time I use Ghost. I assume some gets paid for this.
This is neither news for nerds nor stuff that matters. Slashdot: News for children, stuff that's created by some marketing department.
Well, maybe it has one. Doesn't mean I can sit through the rest of it though.
I have this Wenger "tool chest", and apart from needing a long screwdriver to mount a Zalman heatsink, I just assembled a PC from scratch with it. I also carry a Tool Logic T1 Series Business Card in my wallet and a SwissMemory USB Victorinox with my car keys. I have this Hammer multitool in the car. Cars need more tough love than PCs ^_^
I don't display sigs, but I assume you've done the same thing I just did.
You just described the N-Gage, but it's a lot smaller than a notebook PC.

I remember that, and I know that I saw it after I saw the mad magazine bit, because I specifically remember thinking less of them for copying Mad.
I remember something in Mad Magazine. The 14th blade distracts the hair and the 15th blade sneaks up on it from behind, or something like that.
