So, instead of convienently bringing your PDA with you, you've left it at home. Rats, I need that (contact list) (schedule) (itenerary) (memo) (whatever).
It's good that while I was at home, instead of bringing my Palm with me, I remembered to hook it up to my phone line, make sure it's batteries were charged, etc etc etc.
What would be a better idea would be to simply hot-sync (TM) your palm at convenience, and then download the information from your home computer via Internet. There is already a phone-home feature on Palms so you can hotsync remotely; for dialup users, just dial into the computer and give a password, etc.
Simple...
This to me seems like a silly solution. The Palm is supposed to be a remote extension to its PC, allowing you to set up conduits and other wonderful programs, and then peruse information at your leisure while in transit, etc.
As for voice activation, my computer can't handle Dragon Naturallyspeaking and it's 500mHz. It lags behind so much that I can't use the program. Not to mention that even after hours of voice training, it still got words mixed up awfully.
I doubt that the Dragonball inside of a Palm can handle voice recognition that well.
So, I'm wondering what the price of these things will be. I'm in the market for a $2500 laptop, and battery life is one of my major concerns. It seems that most laptops end up with 8 hours maximum, and another battery costs like $200... and I don't have enough cash for that.
In the acticle, it says $2,299 - and a quick conversion to canadian, and it looks like... $3500 or so.
Sucks.
Oh well, I guess I'll have to buy a used one. But I thought Crusoe was supposed to be cost-effective...

Well, it can use PGP 5.0+ keys, giving decent interoperability (most people have pgp 5+ now as it offers significantly more secure encryption).
As well, according to the GnuPG website gnupg.org:
GnuPG is not vulnerable to the faked ARR (aka ADK) attack as PGP 5 and 6 is. The reason for this is that GnuPG does intentionally not handle those "additional recipients requests". BTW, those Big Brother packets are not defined in the OpenPGP standard - they are a proprietary PGP extension.
Also according to gnupg.org, these are the GPG features:
Full replacement of PGP.
Does not use any patented algorithms.
GPLed, written from scratch.
Can be used as a filter program.
Full OpenPGP implementation.
Better functionality than PGP and some security enhancements over PGP 2.
Decrypts and verifies PGP 5.x messages.
Supports ElGamal (signature and encryption), DSA, 3DES, Blowfish, Twofish, CAST5, MD5, SHA-1, RIPE-MD-160 and TIGER.
Easy implementation of new algorithms using extension modules.
User ID is forced to be in a standard format.
Supports key and signature expiration dates.
English, Danish, Dutch, Esperanto, French, German, Japanese, Italian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Portuguese (Portuguese), Russian, Spanish and Swedish language support.
Online help system.
Optional anonymous message receivers.
Integrated support for HKP keyservers (wwwkeys.pgp.net).
Yeah. That's it. There's decent integration with GNOME, so try it out.
The fact is, this doesn't really matter a whole lot. Napster can lose, who cares. Opennap will take over.
Nobody cares about piracy, and this won't stop anyone from getting MP3s. I have Napigator. So stop me. You can't.
Nobody really cares about the legalities of it, and we all know it's piracy. Who cares? I just download a million songs, it's fine with me, it's free.
Music for free.
People without computers, or without large brains, will still buy cd's.
So I will still Nap mp3's and burn them and sell them. Do you want to sue me? So? I don't much care. Try and stop me, and my friends, and the billion other people in the world that don't care about you trying to maintain your source of income.
Well, i'm saying it follows the same sort of paradigm, with a toolbar that can be dragon-dropped with etc. It's also combined with the previous Mac OS style, to give a more holistic approach - seamless upgrading for an older version of Mac OS user, who likes the menubar, yet more power and a good extension to the UI.
But GnuStep, being GNU, can be updated to reflect these changes. With enough work, it could easily become the catalyst to enable many more Linux apps from large-name companies.
Of course, this has been in development since 1993 - the NeXT is the foundation for all of this.
That's why OS X is based on a Unix kernel - it's so much easier for integration with OpenSTEP.
The GnuSTEP team is also building OpenSTEP, but in a GNU fashiion, for integration with X.
That means apps for OS X can be recompiled, with no changes, and run on Linux and any other GnuSTEP enabled platform - that was the whole goal of OpenSTEP, to allow write once - compile anywhere type development, with a simple and elegant OO variant of C.
It is also a beautiful interface, now, from the eyecandy point of view. They've taken the Step interface (see Windowmaker and Afterstep) and combined it with the good ol' Mac menubar. That bar at the bottom... it's the Dock.
I think OS X still uses Display PostScript, which is just as cool as regular Postscript.
Idea: Web integration of DPS? Instead of HTML, perhaps? It would scale nicely to any size window... but thats another thread.
Well, that's great. You go play the maybe 25 3d accelllerated games for linux, while I have access to over 500 games on my super compatible card. Awesome GL, Awesome D3D.
My TNT2 is nice and fast. And it works well. Do you have an nvidia card? No? Are you jealous, maybe?
Radeon is not as fast as Geforce2 Ultra. Plus, as is usual with ATI, 3d image quality is bad.
Hahaha, the NV25 inside of the Xbox will kick the crap out of Gamecube - not to mention the fact that most PC games will run on Xbox with a simple recompile... no porting.
Weird. Nobody cares about this?
Well, they can and should sue. They have a patent, after all. It IS illegal to infringe on a patent, right?
Though about the ethics of this, it's just Nvidia trying to get a monopoly. Seeing as how Geforce2ultra is like 50 times faster than Voodoo5 6000 or whatever, no problem.
This sickens me. Not the fact of the patent itself - I know it will be broken, it's just laughable in that regard.
It's the fact that if this is passed and upheld, it is passed and upheld by the US patent office.
I'm not american. Hell, "I'm Afraid of Americans" (david bowie song for those of you who don't know). Why should the US be able to regulate the rest of the world's trade?
I can understand it havin authority over straight American transfers and whatnot, but I don't see how they legally can have any authority over me as a Canadian. Or someone else as an Australian or Japanese or Russian or Lebanese, or anywhere else.
Once again, it's the US acting as the world's leader, whether it's "subjects" want it or not. Pretty hpyocritical to run a democratic system on top of such.
So, I'll just laugh if this gets through and stays that way. And I'll start an internet business, and not pay these people. And see if I can be stopped.
WMA is the name you're looking for. Even napster has some of those now... I can't stand them, they're lower quality for bitrate and take more processor time.
After managing to get Jabber working, from jabber.org, anything less is a major step back. ICQ is the only system that comes close... and only on windows, at that, becuase GnomeICU and other clients still don't have full functionality.
Of course, OpenProjectsNet on IRC is still my favourite place to chat (my nick is talon, say hi if you see me).
No$GMB is another good emulator to use, deeply ingrained with a debugger; it also allows you to run multiple gameboys simultaneously (on a 486 at that).

I have a NeXT Press Release (based off of a Byte magazine) what says 1993 on it, so I used that, but that's amazing.
Except, this is coming to fruition, unlike the HURD
Well, i'm saying it follows the same sort of paradigm, with a toolbar that can be dragon-dropped with etc. It's also combined with the previous Mac OS style, to give a more holistic approach - seamless upgrading for an older version of Mac OS user, who likes the menubar, yet more power and a good extension to the UI.
Well, sure, that's called "innovation".
But GnuStep, being GNU, can be updated to reflect these changes. With enough work, it could easily become the catalyst to enable many more Linux apps from large-name companies.
(Do i sound like a marketroid, or what)
Ok, well "DPDF" still seems cool :), though PostScript seems a bit more "open".
As for BSD kernels, NeXTSTeP (is that how one captalizes it? Krezzy foo!) was based on Mach microkernel, IIRC.
Imagine my surprise when a C64 that someone didn't want came with GEOS. I had no idea that something like a C64 could be better than Windows.
Geez. Windowing environment in 64 k of ram, better performance than my 450.
Of course, this has been in development since 1993 - the NeXT is the foundation for all of this.

well I never used CP/M, becuase i was not Born yet, but it was Gary Kildall of "Intergalactic Digital Research".
Imna have to find me a copy of CP/M 86 then.
Also, I'm looking for a copy of Concurrent DOS / 386. If you know where one is at, reply. thx.
How about RTS (realtime strategy) games? The first one I can think of was fairly commercial - Dune 2. Was there anything before that?
