In Palm Quick Install.. Click on "Add" then select files of type "All Files (*.*)".
Alternatively, get a SD card drive, its faster:)
Documents 2 Go can handle text files, alternatively, you can use the Palm Desktop to copy/paste things into memopad.
There are various shareware/freeware utils that act as very basic file managers for the palm, with hexedit capabilities. (They can also be used to edit/delete your preference files - which can come in useful)

If everyone used the same login/password, the NY Times may actually realize that keeping registration is a waste of time! Hopefully they may actually discover the world of registration free access as a result of this.
The birthday encoding into the # helps me remember my drivers license #. But some people who were born in a month before October (i.e., the month # is = 09), the encoding is slightly different.
Someone born in 790322 may have a license # that ends in 795322 or something like that.
I'm pretty sure, we've had this in Ontario since 1995. The image is digitally printed and stored in a central DB. The birthday and name info is encoded into a magnetic stripe, and we have a hologram of a trillium when the card is tilted.
I wonder if eventually someone could use this and invent some sort of a codec where standard DVD data is on the 4.6GB layer, but High Def would use the bits on the DVD layer for low resolution info and the additional bits on the new layer are used to supplement the DVD layer to achieve higher resolution. Resulting in not having to waste the DVD layer for those who only want to use the disk in an HD player.
It may be more complicated, and the codec may not be codec with existing HD-DVD standards, however, it does create a backwards compatible standard that is waste free.
In any case, there's still an overall victory for those who will later try and sell HD-DVD players. Making the cost of the disks dirt cheap, only helps to increase the user base of the HD-DVD disks, allowing more HD-DVD players to be sold.
Wow, I just read the actual tax rates (around 31% for income between $35-70k/year). I just realized, we must be the only ones in the world stupid enough to pay a tax on a tax.
Read below:
"ON also has two surtaxes:
1. a surtax of 20% of ON income tax (after deducting non-refundable tax credits) in excess of $3,856 ($3,747 in 2003). For a single person with a tax credit for only the basic personal amount, the ON tax will reach $3,856 at a taxable income of approximately $58,770 in 2004.
2. a surtax of 36% of ON income tax (after deducting non-refundable tax credits) in excess of $4,864 ($4,727 in 2003). For a single person with a tax credit for only the basic personal amount, the ON tax will reach $4,864 at a taxable income of approximately $69,240 in 2004.
Note that the second surtax of 36% of ON income tax is in addition to the first surtax of 20%. Thus, the surtax of 20% applies to ON income tax in excess of $3,856 but less than $4,864, and both surtaxes, for a total of 56%, apply to ON income tax in excess of $4,864. "
Cavalier, Sunfire, Echo, and a few others.. (all in the range of $12k MSRP + taxes; but you can bargain them down). In any case, still cheaper than the Smartcar
Just FYI, although difficult to get, they have been around in Canada for a few months now, and sold by Mercedes. The MSRP is about $16000 Canadian.
For those looking for an economy car, its not really worth it, as you can get a 4 door for around $12000 CAN. Although, I am told that the Smart Car does get a rediculously high milage (I think it was 70miles per gallon).
I'm renting my HDTV PVR box for $25 CAN/month. It has a built in 160GB SATA HD; it does program guides, etc, has HDMI (DVI+digital audio in one), component and firewire outputs (although I think the firmware I have disables firewire). Apparently, the box can be purchased for $500 CAN also.
Although I'm no expert in quantum mechanics or electricity generation. If I'm reading this right, they can magnetize any element, by doing this, I have a feeling it can have a large impact on future power generation technologies.
I've tested this on various machines. Benchmarks for single processes are almost always higher with HT turned off. However, in multitasking system with only 1 processor, you are correct in stating that it should be turned on; yet the benchmarks shown on this site are meaningless unless they are tested in a multitasking environment.
However, we may be getting a few multiprocessor Xeon's for research use; since there are multiple processors, I'm debating whether HT should be turned OFF, as HT slows things down for single processes, and as there are multiple processors to deal with multiple processes, HT may not serve any advantage whatsoever.
As hyperthreading cuts the L2 cache in HALF, it should be disabled before doing any of these benchmarks. Hyperthreading only seems to improve the multithreading ability. These benchmarks being run on a single process are not realistic.

I haven't figured that one out yet.

What's different about this?

Wasn't there an attempt a few years ago for a computer company to give away free PC's, in return for having Ads built into the OS and BIOS?
That's Federal Only. Add another 9-15% provincial tax.

We pay up to 56% tax on the taxes we pay!
Income tax is even worse. But I have no idea how it compares to other countries.
See:
http://www.taxtips.ca/tax_rates.htm
Keep in mind both the federal and provincial governments suck us dry.
Keep in mind that the taxes in Canada are higher on average. In Ontario, we pay a total of 15% tax.
Also, keep in mind, if a can of coke goes for $1 US, the same can will sell in Canada for $1 CAD.
The price is $4750US, you must have a REAL desire to watch TV. But it would be much cheaper just to connect netmeeting to your tv tuner card.
How much bandwidth does this really need?
Cavalier, Sunfire, Echo, and a few others.. (all in the range of $12k MSRP + taxes; but you can bargain them down). In any case, still cheaper than the Smartcar
It would also be nice to have decent Progressive Scan support. I'm not sure if 720i is considered High definition. 720p is though.
320p is definitely not high def.

or the volume?
A Jet engine is generally well over 100dB, that kind of noise will definitely get you kicked out of a cofee shop.
They'll start detecting and flipping the spin of electrons in your brain.. Time for your tin-foil hats again.

This is cool, but it seems more like an ad to me.
Don't forget images.google.com
Unfortunately, that will only accellerate the time it takes for the machine to crash.
