Really, there have been two browsers developed in 4 years. The intial project used the NS4 code as a starting point and eventually abandonded it as unusable. So, if you take out that initial time, you're probably looking at closer to 2 or 2.5 years. Really not bad when writing a product from scratch.
Would we feel any different if this were a corporation searching a machine? The University owned the machine and can do what they want with it. Of course, not letting her back it up is just plain mean.
I think this is getting blown way out of proportion. Their not talking about charging you for every byte that goes over the wire. Most people can go to burgerking.com 10 times a day before exceeding any reasonable quota. As long as the quota is sensible, I really see this as a good thing.
There are religious and ethical people who want to attach full human rights to arbitrarily small clusters of human cells (fertalized eggs, tiny embryo's, etc.).
Where would you draw the line then? When the baby is born? Well, it could survive on it's own much earlier than that. When it's capable of breathing air? Well, there may soon come a technology that would allow that to be done earlier. When the collection of cells looks more "human"? What defines the look of a human? You? I hope not. You end up being in a very hard to defend spot when you say that life is worth saving only when it has progressed to a certain point. The person who makes that decision better have some pretty exacting determining points.
I know "religious" points of view are not popular on/., but sometimes they are the correct views.
I've found that instead of surfing the web, I get my web needs filled by building new pages. Trying to create something that can contribute to the web, not just trying to find something out there. But then again, I now have a son, so maybe that's why I'm online less.
Well, I won't use the if it was your child "bullshit". But I would bet that if you ask anyone who's child was kidnapped if they would like to have this, the answer would be a resounding yes. I don't know if you have kids or not, but I do know that my thinking on things like this has changed drastically since I had my son. The world looks a lot different when you love something so helpless.
I used to think the same way that you do. When I'd see the $100 car seats that last about 4 months and the laws that require a kid to be in a car seat until they're like 3. But, I now have a 6 month old son, and let me tell you that changes things. If spending $100 will help him survive a car crash, as rare as that may be, then it's hard not to spend the money. I think this wrist band idea is meant for small children, not kids that want to run away.
I hadn't thought of this before, but do you need to keep your hands hovered above the "keys" all the time? I usually find that my fingers are resting on the keys until I hit them. Also, does it measure you hitting the key, or your finger moving down toward the "key"? If it's motion, how much motion is needed?
Questions, questions, questions... but what about answers?
John Harrison, you are amazing! Not only did you really say nothing, "I object!...It's okay", but you also got both posts modded up to a 3. Wow, I am impressed!
Well, what you just saw was gateway's old model which has been around for awhile and is not a hurried-to-market iMac lookalike, but might be a poorly designed all-in-one flat panel PC. But it was a leader, not a follower and they at least deserve credit for that.
I end up jumping around languages a lot. PHP, ColdFusion, Java, and even the ocassional ASP. Homesite handles them all very well. Excellent text manipulation, tons of color coding options, and snippets allow you to build your own add ins.
I've only used Komodo a little bit, but it was rather klunky, and at $300, way too over priced. Haven't used the ones you mentioned, but I'd be glad to hear about them.
Why would I want to pay $3 to "charge" my battery when I can plug into any electric outlet and get a charge for free? Hexk, I can usually find an outlet in the airport waiting rooms and charge up while I'm waiting for my delayed flight. What is the benefit here?
I use yahoo to read my mail, keep track of my bookmarks, and get the my main headlines. I'm a pretty technical guy, program/web design for a living. I think they have a great service. My biggest gripe is that they are very IE specific in many of their offerings. Their Yahoo companion toolbar is great, but not yet available on NS6/Mozilla. I'm slowly working on some homegrown versions of their serivces in case they start charging me for them, but there is a lot of good stuff on Yahoo.
First pic is a side shot of the Clie. Yep, it's thin.
I know this was the last thing you mentioned, but it's still 1/2 an inch. The Palm IIIs were about.7" Were are you sticking this thing that you need the extra.2"? Maybe I don't want to know.
More importantly, it gives a tangible thing to show to the proles and help them identify what is a "good" CD and what is "bad" "CD". And that will be "great".

In the turnaround video, you can hear someone say something in German.... bitte. I'm not sure what it is, and there's no audio aounds in the other 2 videos.
Already, we are required to surrender our fingerprints, our retina prints, our Social Security numbers, and other personally-identifying data to secure these privileges.
Um... Isn't an SSN issued by the government? I'd guess they can use it how they want.
Important how? Does anyone here megabyte and think "oh, a million bytes."? No, they think "oh, i know that that is. It's a relative measure of information, similar to 2x4 which is actually 1.5" x 3.5"" It's called nominal measurements and it's hear to stay, so just leave it. It is a label!!
It looks much more like the Taningia danae than the giant squid that most of us are more familiar with. While Taningia danae has lighted tentacles, the key things to notice would be the prominance of the fins, and the consistency of length of the "arms".
You can see more comparisons at NASA of all places.
Well put, it's good to get competent legal comments here. But rather than Panasoanic, which at first glance appears to be the same name, it's closer to something like Ganasonic. Simply looking at the name shows you a distinction. I think the "common man" as someone called them. Will see such obvious similarities and consider the new product a cheap knowckoff of the old, which it is basically.

And just where are you going to plug in that wireless network?

Well, you knew that we couldn't have a story on slashdot without a paranoid, anti-establishment post getting modded up over 2.
Sigh
Palm has had this for many years, and everyone wants them to move to the thumb keyboard. Why would we want to move our main systems to this?
