Thank you. I didn't know such a device existed. The cost is about equal to that of a nice case and a wi-fi card, so the $170 price tag is about what could be expected.
Anoyne that's owned one have something to say about it?
Let me be blunt, unless I get a working Wi-Fi card for my T2, that T2 will be my last Palm device.
I'm really pissed that my only option for wireless turned out to be buying a more expensive Palm, or bluetooth.
You ever try to set up a ZOOM bluetooth device on your PC so you could sync and surf on your Palm?
I returned the damn Zoom product. The configuration wasn't even documented, and they didn't even have drivers on their website, so when I took the device to work, I had to wait until the next day to set it up, since I'd forgotten their damn CD at home.
Why do you think modern Polyamory was invented? At least that way the shagging goes both ways, it's out in the open, and both partners can have their reliable, stable, "Primary", "Dad Type" and their secondary or tertiary "Cad Type".
Besides, that way you get to work out all of the toxic emotions instead of repressing then and letting them build up.
In my mind, it's the only way to have multiple partners and a spouse. Cheating and infidelity is so 19th century.
As a sie note, my wife and I are monogamous, but most our friends are Poly. I'm speaking from what I've seen, not what I've lived.
I agree. I'm clearly a "Marry Him" type, and it's depressing to get dumped by a woman who admits it's because I treat her with respect and, I quote, "I'm used to guys treating me like shit. I can't handle a guy who cares what I think and tries to have conversations."
Fortunately for me, I eventually found a woman whom I love dearly, and actually LIKES having me as a husband, instead of "settling" for me.
Of course, this was after I'd learned how to embody "Cad" and "Dad" aspects. Being a "reformed Cad" in the eyes of women has a surprising appeal. Watch "The Tao of Steve" for details.
On the flip side, one of my best friends is a woman who was married to a "Dad" and hit her mid life crisis. Now she's with a "Cad" and can't understand why things keep being problematic. On a side note, I never got involved with said friend because:
A. By the time I met her, I'd learned to avoid women who were either husband hunting or into a "Cad" phase. B. I was a "Dad" and she keeps going after "Cads."
OpenOffice is frequently used at my last job, because I showed people how to use it to open Word and Excel files that Office couldn't. I also found that some graphics intensive Word Files eat up a lot more RAM in Office than in OpenOffice. We received a series of documents from a client. The client has pushed their 3GHz machines with 2 Gig of RAM to the limit creating the file, and we could NOT work with the resulting files in Word.
Then I opened the files in OpenOffice and Abiword, both of which were able to let us work with the files and do what we needed to do.
The formatting wasn't that complex, the issue was all the graphics used in the documents.
Word crapped out, and took 45 minutes to copy segments of text to the clipboard.
The other apps let us use the files easily, and made it possible to copy and paste text out of them. (The people who needed the files were loading the content into an Online Learning system.)
Abiword and OpenOffice are now standard installs for people in the content department, as well as on a couple machines in the Sales department. Not even Office XP's restore and recovery functions work as well.
The son is one of the people who thinks SPAM is a good thing. He has a few IT people on his staff. He has to to have a system capable of sending all that SPAM, but the son himself is pretty clueless in terms of technology.
The last company I worked for had a similar mentality. The managers decided that it would be a good idea to SPAM all of our existing clients. I got out just a few weeks before the SPAM system went live, and I know the developer who wrote it isn't happy about what he had to do.
Having IT people on your staff does NOT equate to having a clue when it comes to IT issues.
This is a politician propping up his son's get rich quick scheme.
Is Katie T. Still going to market her line of school materials under then name of katie.com?
And let's not forget that all the copies of the book in print will be leading people to www.katie.com for years to come, perhaps as long as copies of the book exist.
The pain for Katie J. hasn't ended, it's just not being actively made worse in the same way.
Well, this horrible Katie J person is trying to discredit the book Katie.com! Why, she is profiting by the resale of another person's copyrights!
My point was, they don't need a reason other than having enough money to sue her until she gives up, and having said litigation be less expensive than offering her a price for the domain that she would accept.
All the copies titled katie.com in print still need to filter through, and as stated in Katie J's response, Kattie T. hasn't said she'll stop trying to market her speaking tours and other materials as katie.com.
And there are untold copied of katie.com in circulation, which will be generating hits to Katie J's web site for a few decades to come.
I'll have to toss together something with wget and a rm command instead.
In the end, this is all good for Penguin

This is what I think is happening:
Penguin is very happy about all this fuss. The book is getting free publicity, and the longer this goes on, the more sales of this book will be helped, while doing no real damage to the rest of the company.
They may buy the domain down the road, but they're more likely to file a lawsuit to take it, counting on this poor woman not having the cash to stand up to them in court.
As fun as it is to joke about it, I assume Penguin would sue her into oblivion if she were to sell the domain to a porn company, and would tear her to shreds and demonize her in the courtroom.
Of course, Katie (of the website katie.com) probably has much more integrity than I.
Selling out to a porn site would probably be the "Conceding defeat but not giving those bastards at Penguin my real domain name." way of giving up completely.
Hey, it's her damn domain. She can do what she wants with it.
Something tells me if the site suddenly wen to a hard core "Barely Legal Teens" site, Penguin's interest would perk up REAL soon.
Any self respecting porn web master should be chomping at the bit for all the guaranteed traffic that such a domain would ensure.
And the owner's argument when Penguin sues her? "I could not longer use the domain and had to finance the process of moving all of my personal and business activity to another domain."
Penguin would either have to spend a lot of cash on a lawsuit or changing the name of the book.
Penguin really is being arrogant and irresponsible.

Opera lets you resubmit a page as many times as you wish.
The form on the PM's site is a Cold Fusion Template. Resubmitting it sends the same message again.
Thus, you can have Opera automatically send a few thousand copies of your complaint by clicking a few buttons.
Thus with Opera, you can send thousands upon thousands of copies of the same message to his in box.
Just like the SPAM I receive.
Bastard.

/. editors READ the articles??
MWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
We all know getting your article posted depends on who on the editorial staff you're sleeping with / friends with / cybering with / sucking up to.
You make it sound like articles should be posted based on merit or relevance!
You've got a great sense of humor!
You're right, and I've been posting the same point.
Katie J. will still get grief over this for years, perhaps decades to come.
I have now changed my sig.
Let's googlebomb the b**ch.

Don't let up
No, she provides a safe place for her clients to digitally rape others online.
The irony is thick in this one.
I've always wanted to write a book. I think "aftab.com" will be a great title.
Great tile for a book about cop hunting down a pedophile ring.
Man, I LOVE /.
Because I'm running Windows at work. :(
Is curl and option in Cygwin?

Nah.
If she turned it over to a porn site at least then she could get some $$$ for all this frustration.
I don't want to think about the bandwidth bills she's facing as a result of all this.
Making the URL a link makes it much easier to /. a site.
Thus:
http://www.aftab.com/
I will now proceed to fire up Opera and set it to reload the page every 30 seconds.

Do they have a patent on censoring the truth now?
Dude, there is SO much prior art on that one, even the USPS won't grant a patent on it!
