Mostly though they're not on contract (unless they have very rich parents) but pay as you go phones - most children I've seen have older generation phones for this reason... the cost of startup is more than their parents will pay for the 'new' phones. It'll be a while before the Ngage2 is in that bracket - it has to survive 6 months at least before people start selling it cheap off contract, and judging by the reception of the last one (it silently died, basically. I think they sold, umm... two. And one of them was returned.) it won't last that long.
Indeed... it creates a new kind of joe-job. One that not only inconveniences you for a couple of hours deleting the bounces, but possibly for weeks because your perfectly legitimate site is now on a blacklist.
To save money the company I work for bought a couple of dells and runs 8 VMWare machines each - it means we can offer 'dell hosting' to our clients but it's dirt cheap. We have racks but we'd need a lot more if we had to use real machines to do the work (Yes it's unethical but cheap is important to that company.. they told me to bootleg devpartner and gave me a week to do it rather than pay for a copy to solve a bug - which was holding up a $300,000 contract... go figure).
I'd expect for a home machine one box with lots of memory would be cheap and do the job unless you're running really CPU intensive tasks.
You could get power in a similar way though... a small airduct with a turbine capable of generating mains voltage or thereabouts, connected to a recharge circuit (so you don't lose power when the plane lands..)
Presumably you haven't read the "Declaration on Combating Terrorism" that the EU member states ratified without any fanfare (or public consultation) a week or so ago.
It makes the US Patriot act look like a walk in the park. gmail is just a distraction.. whilst we're bickering over that our 'privacy' is lost anyway.
One of its measures is the *mandatory* retention of all communications data within europe (inc. email, phone calls, mobile phone calls, faxes and internet usage). No idea how they're going to do that... it'll require a damn big SCSI disk:)
Add to that the compulsory fingerprinting of everyone in Europe, the introduction of biometric passports, tracking all travel in, out and within Europe and retaining this data, oh and the government gets automatic right to inspect your back accounts too...

The OS load times for XP are fast at the moment... Wait until SP2 arrives and you'll be back to the good old days.
Current boot -> useable on my SP2 box is 2-3 minutes. It was 1 minute before SP2... I think it's doing some kind of remote update or something as it accesses microsoft.com during this time (when my internet was down it was 7-8 minutes to boot as the DNS had to timeout).
The press reported that it was her first, and that she hadn't even touched alcohol before...
Of course when the truth came out the press dumped it like a hot potato... 'sweet innocent little girl dies of ecstasy' works well - 'partygoer and regular drug user dies of ecstacy' doesn't sell nearly so many papers. See http://www.ecstasy.org/info/dangers.html
If this is an april 1st joke it's not a particularly funny one. It sounds real enough the me. The guy's got no hope though... I've had stuff stolen in the past and never heard of it again even though it was indelibly postmarked.
1-3 days delay: equivalent to one month line rental 4-6 days delay: equivalent to two months line rental 7-9 days delay: equivalent to three months line rental 10 days plus delay: equivalent to four months line rental.
Multiply that by 130,000 customers, add the claims for financial loss (up to 1000 per line), and that's a lot of money.
I'm without internet for possibly the next week... For me *that* is chaos.
More seriously, though, there are a lot of banks who are cut off, which means a lot of the ATMs in manchester are down. When you run out of money how are you going to buy food? No luck with the credit card... they're out too...
nd you have inane votes that allow Libia to chair the Human Rights Comission.
Hey, haven't you heard... Libya are our *friends* now.... We've even agreed to give them arms and train their armies (just like that nice Mr. Hussein who lived nearby... whatever happened to him??)
We don't care about human rights violations unless our enemies do them.
2 years ago I lost it with them after unsubscribing constantly and getting nowhere. Reported them to spamcop, a few RBLs and their upstream provider. They sent me a stroppy letter insisting that their unsubscribe link worked, that they were a 'Microsoft Partner' and didn't spam. After that they seemed to actually stop sending me junk.
Last month out of nowhere they started again. Usubsctibed again, for what it's worth... if that doesn't work it's back to the RBLs again. I hope this time these clowns are shut down for good.

Pretty much any symbian phone can do this. Heck, I even run Opera on mine.
For a lot less than $200 too.
You'd have been better off with a P800 or P900 (P900 looks cooler). It does all this, costs half as much (on contract anyway) and doesn't look stupid.
It also has a faster processor. There's a camera too that can shoot movies (although the camera quality is a bit crappy so don't buy one for that).

I just with other MTAs had this available.
Pretty much every MTA has this.
Except MS Exchange, but, well... enough said.

This is a non-solution, really.

"To place a bid of US $15,000.00 or more, you'll need to provide a valid credit card"
No shit....
How to you slow down? Not much to use as friction, what with their being no atmosphere. You're not going to get a chemical rocket in 10kg.
Of course the moon itself is a hell of a brake...

Umm it does.
If setting an option can save 50% of IO times that says more about Solaris than Linux, IMO.

..because you don't actually want the nuclear reaction to start until you're a 'safe' distance away.
If your nuclear material is getting hot, run away. Fast.
Oftel have forced them to have a compensation scheme on the voice line.

It's also not illegal in the UK so it's unlikely any prosecution will stick.
To break the gambling law here you have to interfere with the outcome of the game - just watching doesn't count... even if you watch with a computer.
Soo... this internet thing has been going for a few years.
Let's see which democracies have got better.
Err...
Oh dear.
Actually it's worse than that... he ran away and hid in Scotland. Didn't even have the guts to stay in London and listen to the process.
He'll be re-elected, again... the other guy is even worse.
The US is a democracy is it not?
You all voted for him. Therefore he represents you and you all get to take equal blame that he's a dangerous loony.
nd you have inane votes that allow Libia to chair the Human Rights Comission.

Parading prisoners on TV is a breach of the Geneva convention - as the US was so quick to point out when the *other* side did it...
MythTV doesn't have season passes either...
OTOH MythTV works with DVB-T cards and sageTV doesn't.
I've had the same with 'Mobile Fun'.
I bought *one* item from them. 3 years ago.
2 years ago I lost it with them after unsubscribing constantly and getting nowhere. Reported them to spamcop, a few RBLs and their upstream provider.
