Even that story seems to have a fairly loose grip on what radiation is:
"The type of radiation emitted by radio waves (wi-fi), visible light, microwaves and mobile phones has been shown to raise the temperature of tissue at very high levels of exposure...
I don't think any other PDA loses its memory when the battery runs out, that was just a problem with older Palm devices.
Personally I switched from a Treo to an MDA Vario II and would never go back: good web browser, decent UI, more stable, more memory and a better keyboard.
Well, solved in that you can use longer jumps, I agree it's still a mess though. Each section doesn't have to be in a seperate file for gcc, you can just tag the function declaration with the correct section attribute.
The long jump issue was pretty much solved by using multiple code sections. It's fairly easy with Codwarrior or gcc-palmos, although has a small performance cost.
It is still a very bad OS to develop for: limited dynamic RAM compared to other handsets, the hassle of worrying about ARM/68k code still, the 'filesystem'.
Not all that surprising, this is a company whose account password policy is 5-8 characters, all lower case, no non-alphanumeric characters.
I've been with plus.net for ages, they seemed fantastic after my truly awful experiences with Demon, but they've been much worse recently - they broke routing recently so that I couldn't connect to my work VPN for days. Anybody recommend any other decent UK ISPs? I hear good things about Pipex.
If most sites were pay-to-view on a subscription basis, how would sites like Fark or Slashdot exist? How many people are going to follow a link to a story if it requires a subscription?
Personally, I prefer to have automated, incremental backups of all my documents: I use Deja Vu on my Mac to inrementally backup all of Documents, Photos, Music to an external hard drive at 18:30 every day.
You could use cron to do that, but it would require more knowledge than your average user has.
Exactly, it's a ridiculous article, nobody would claim a phone cam could match a dSLR or even a decent point-and-shoot camera.
For medium light, short range, stationary pictures, the camera in my k800i is pretty good. For anything else, compression artifacts, shutter lag, weak flash, image noise and lack of optical zoom make it poor.
There are quite a few turn based strategy games: Advance wars (GBA, DS), fire emblem(GBA, GC and Wii), field commander(PSP), Disagea(PS2), final fantasy tactics 2 is on the way
Rather than just dismissing the article for one sentence, how about you propose an answer to their question "...how would sites such as ours continue to offer content free of charge..."?
It says unlimited. My ADSL ISP sets limits on usage for some of their plans, but the limits are very clearly stated on their website: you couldn't sign up with out being aware of them. Aren't there generally consumer protection laws against burying onerous conditions in the small print of agreements?
The Simarillion deals with the ancient history which is referred to in LOTR - the time of the elves and where they are returning to, who Sauron is, the history of Numenor etc. There are some interesting parts, but it's for hardcore Tolkien fans only.
I don't understand why anyone would do it, but I've seen otherwise perfectly sensible people do it. I've even explained why it's a bad idea, had the person say "oh, right", and then a few weeks later they've gone and done it anyway.
Apart from anything else, how many sites are there that allow you to recover a lost password through email? Do you really want some guy at Flixster to be able to get your Amazon password?
Are things really that bad for the PSP? I just bought a second hand one, plus 5 games (Wipeout, Burnout, Daxter, Worms and Tales of Eternia) and it seems like a good handheld. There are maybe 8 or 9 other games I'd like to buy at the moment, plus more on the way (GoW PSP?).
I mean, I own a DS+25 games as well and think it's fantastic, but the PSP has a load of great games too.
Not directly, although it does say:
"...and is maintained only for compatibility with existing documents from that application."
In the few hundred Office 2007 documents I've examined so far, I haven't seen anything that isn't implementable from the standard.

Isn't the 64Mb of additional RAM on the standard Wii DDR RAM, with several GB/s of bandwidth instead of the 81MB/s of the Gamecube's ARAM?

It was the same thing with Day of Defeat, it seemed like every server was playing avalanche.
IME, the OSX X11 version of OO.o was pretty nasty: slow, ugly and out of place on an OSX desktop, as it didn't use any of the standard dialogs.

From other articles about the announcement, this is definitely not the Access platform, it's a completely new in-house Linux based system.

Why aren't you watching them on a black and white TV then if it makes no difference?

I think they would care: someone who only owns a Wii is going to buy a lot more Wii games than someone who owns a Wii and a 360.
Damn, no mod points for a troll mod.
I wonder if the 360's apparent high failure rate had anything to do with it? All those near-launch UK 360s would be out of warranty now.

There is an alternative and (AFAIK) equally open binary version of the XML formats in Office 2007 if performance is an issue.

You will, of course, only see those tags in files converted from Word 5.0.3 documents.
