And WiFi, and a user-tweakable operating system (could even be Linux), and SD/MMC support, and a touch-sensitive screen. I'm not sure the PSP needs a real keyboard; something like Palm's Graffitti (or whatever they spell it) and virtual keyboard are sufficient to me. If I want to type real long texts, I just go use a desktop instead.
The Handbook was written by some people from Microsoft, Apple and a few other companies. Not quite unbiased (but what would one expect from a book with such a title?) While amusing, the Hater's is no longer up to date, it was written in an era when GNOME or KDE weren't even a concept, and some things in it are quite simply, wrong. Be sure to read the Preface and Anti-Foreword, though...
Lucky you. I had a Zire 72, hanged quite a bit. I thought it was because of rogue apps (no memory protection and all that), but when I swapped that for a LifeDrive, it was hell. The damn thing couldn't stay up for more than half an hour, and judging by what I've seen on Internet forums, I'm not the only one with the problem. Now, if there were a Linux powered handheld, with WiFi and a 60 GB HD, and a screen at least as good as the Zire 71/72's, I would happily pay a premium for it. Current Linux handhelds are not as good as they could (sexy as Sharp Zaurus are, but not sexy enough).
I'm not sure if it's an hyperbole. A big part of Africa is indeed in civil war, mostly caused by the division of the land during European colonization. However, I'd hardly say that the British were the first imperial power; Spain and Portugal were greater during XVI and XVII centuries (Central/South America, Brazil, outposts in Africa and Oriental Indies...), and before them, the Roman Church had a great part of Europe either under direct control or under heavy influence. And, before that, the Roman Empire exercised its influence around the Mediterranean nations with an iron fist (Carthago, anyone?)...
Of course, despite all these wars Earth's population has never decreased, so there must be some other ways to control its growth. As more and more countries become more developed, the *necessity* of having offspring (necessity because parents need the additional manpower to help in production, mainly in Iron Age agriculture) will be offset by technology and general improvement in human condition, thereby slowing down the population growth curve.
Yes, of course it is Islam. It was Islam who burnt alive people with different views of what God is. It was Islam who sold salvation. It was Islam who organized crusades specifically to convert or terminate members of all other religions. It is Islam who worships an instrument of death (the cross) and who thinks every human being is born with a sin, from which only Islam can save.
People, come on. Because there are some muslim jerks, monsters, sub-humans, if you will, it doesn't mean that Islam's teachings are evil. Quite on the contrary, they are beautiful, if you care to study them instead of gratuitously scourn them. You see, the most execrable person of modern times, Hitler, deemed himself a Christian. Yet no one blames Christianity for what he and his minions did.
It's time to have a little more common sense here.
Looks like USian government is doing its part. All is left to be done is move the wars to Africa. I'm sure there are gobs of petrol, gold, and diamonds there.
Brazil runs most of its cars on sugar cane extract
This "extract" is ethanol, exactly the same substance that makes you go high on booze. It can be produced from almost anything that produces sugar, not only sugar cane. Besides, most cars down here are run on good old petroleum extract, because alcohol production is somewhat uncertain. However, our gas has 20% alcohol, and every car here has to drink that.
Then again, Brazil isn't run by millionaires who are more interested in increasing their millions than actually imporoving things.
How so very wrong... Granted, we are not quite a Banana Republic, but we are Latin America, and our politicians are not distinguished by putting the People's interests ahead of their own.
Slashdot Mirror
The sumbmitter must be new here, huh?
Dude, drink some beer or something.
If this weren't Slashdot, I'd say "Go get a girl". But I must be new here.
Shouldn't it be a story on its own?
Just say aloud "Edgy Eft Knot Two" three times in quick succession...
Will it run on Linux and/or Mac/x86? Please? Pretty please?
The Nazis?

Yes, of course, but then there is that damn MS tax... call me a fanatic if you will, but I won't give a penny to those bashtards.

Don't even mention that, or they will surrender to the US just to be on the safe side!
Man, I thought I was nerd, but you just redefined the meaning of the word... Good job!
I don't need an envelope to send a DVD-R upstairs...
Don't stretch it.
Well, isn't MacOS a "BSD"? So, Wine should run on it with only minor tweaks...
Yeah, calling MacOS a BSD is my pet peeve here.
Someone please mod this troll down.
Nice pic. It got me curious. What happened to the guy? One of those explosive cigars?
I'm Brazilian, living in Brazil. Two points:

Hum, finally a good comment on this. You know, you have quite a few alternatives in x86/amd64 operating systems, even from the Great Satan itself!
