When I glanced at this topic, I thought Apple had done something to throttle down their CPU to run slower and therefore use less battery power. Isn't that what speed bumps do?
An entire plant for just 1/10th of a chip? And we wonder why tech companies are dropping like flies. They are really gonna take a hit on the bottom line for this.
The scheduling features (seeing other's Free/Busy time) when creating an appointment is a requirement. You can't get that using Mozilla as an IMAP client. I haven't used the Evolution connector myself, but this requirement is paramount in our organization.
Verisign will retain permanent control of the.com registry (they were supposed to separate the registry and registrar businesses), long-term control of.NET (plenty of time to
Voice Recognition is could be overrated, but not for the reasons you outline. The primary motivation for VR is not to help "administrative assistants" create documents faster or easier. VR is great for applications like Misterhouse, which controls X11 devices and things around a house. You can say stuff like, "Read the Slashdot news" and your computer can recognize that and use the Festival text to speech engine to read it to you.
VR will be used for this and accessibility. You won't see typists flock to this technology.
Wired homes aren't for only the rich. Check out Mister House, an open source project for home automation written entirely in perl and runs on linux and win32. Very cool stuff. Voice activate and everything...
Another cool service is paypal.com. It allows two parties who don't accept credit cards to use a credit card for a transaction. It works very well and is perfect for online auction transactions. Any, hey, you get $5 for signing up! Dave
I work at a very large telecommunications company and we do a significant amount of part time telecommuting. I have never seen our business unit hire anyone to do full time telecommuting in their first position with the company. Normally this kind of situation is earned. This seems perfectly understandable to me: why would I hire someone to work virtually and establish business relationships with co-workers whom they have never met and will see in person probably less than half a dozen times a year?
It is much more acceptable for an established employee to make a transition to full time telecommuting - for the employer and the employee. It is just too risky for a new hire.
Can anyone comment on Palm's pathetic inventory management?
You can't find any r?etailer that has a Palm Vx to sell - many don't have any model of the Palm to sell. You can't even order a Palm Vx from Palm until 3/4/00 and that date keeps moving back with the passing of each day. I hope these problems don't reoccur with these newer models.
These problems don't look good as Palm approaches IPO time.
This seems impossible to enforce. Is this law expecting to cover email originating outside of Colorado? What about email that is destined outside of Colorado? What about email that hops through an ISP in the state, neither originating nor destined for a mail server in the state of Colorado? I agree it is a good start, but any law needs to come from the national level to be even remotely effective...

How about the Blackberry 5810? It runs J2ME and you can download an emulator and SDK from their developer's web site.

How about a Slashdot interview with the Paperclip?

Wait just a minute here! I thought Microsoft controlled that domain. Boy are they gonna be mad.You are right. The MSDN document you link to allowed this group to develop mod_auth_kerb, an apache authentication handler for kerberos. It works in Windows 2000 Domains, too.
Because Perl rules. It is too powerful to learn anything else.
