...and even works on my wife's Palm with similiar minor mods.
Python for the Palm? Last time I checked, the only package available was Pippy, a long unsupported port of Python 1.5 to the Palm OS. Is that what you're using?
A cursory google search did not turn up anything more recent.
I'll add a vote for godaddy. I use their email and domain services and haven't had a problem in two years.
Their email is pretty nice. For $20 a year you get 5 email addresses, 1GB of space to divide up any way you want among them, and webmail(with spam filters).
I have a Rayovac charger that I'm quite happy with. It's a 'smart' charger that'll charge NiMH batteries in about an hour individually, up to four at a time.
That's a good point! Most modern pieces of consumer electronics will shut themselves off at extremely low battery voltages, though. So it's probably OK to listen to your Ipod until it turns off.
Apple Ipods use Lithium Ion batteries, like a lot of portable products.
The lifetime of a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery shortens considerably if it is left 'topped up' on a charger for extended periods of time(weeks, etc). That's one of the reasons they are never used as backup sources of power.
So, don't leave it on the charger. The battery will last longer.
Let's not forget the fact that Apple has total control over their hardware. That makes it very easy to deploy any OS; you never have driver or usability problems because you wrote the OS and drivers yourself.
The the poster was a little too optimistic about the future of GameFAQ. What will more likely happen is the type of info that used to be free will now be 'premium'.
This isn't to say that you won't be able to reach your Diablo walkthrough anymore. Only new info/features will be affected as they are added.
That said, here's hoping the optimism of the original post is found correct.
The Linear typical app seems to be much smaller, with fewer external components because it's actually optimized for the application.
The Maxim chips appear to be generic hot-swap IC's not optimized for power-over-ethernet. Using slashdot is an interesting way to publish an app-note and get some publicity.

I'm sorry, but this just wasn't a terribly deep review and well below par for/. Listing contents of a book and then nitpicking a detail don't a book review make.
How effective were the examples? How easy to read and understand were the general concepts? Were the descriptions of libraries and API's clear? Was the writing generally readable?
Would this book even make a good reference?
Jeez, anyone want to follow up the post with a real review?
This is the "latest craze" in Germany? We used to bombard a neighboring fraternity at my college 6-7 years ago, and I'm sure aerosol powered potato cannons much older than that.
The Germans are finally discovering how fun it is to launch things? Re-discovering?
I've seen dedicated game/excersize equipment at some upscale gyms for years.
Even cooler: an excersice bike with an internet terminal. There's nothing like burning calories while reading/.

Movie executives are presented with the following choice:
1. Remake an old movie or add another sequel to a successful series...
or
2. Create an entirely new movie that no one has ever heard of knows about.
Trying a new concept or story always represents a risk to the movie houses, while remaking an old movie or adding a sequel seems a surer way to generate buzz and revenue. If you disagree, consider this thread; it's free publicity for the makers of Mad Max 4.
From the article: Waqaas Fahmawi, 25, used to sign petitions freely when he was in college. "In the past you would physically sign a petition and could confidently know that it would disappear into oblivion," said Mr. Fahmawi, a Palestinian-American who works as an economist for the Commerce Department.
But after he discovered that his signatures from his college years had been archived on the Internet, he became reluctant to sign petitions for fear that potential employers would hold his political views again him.
I thought the point of signing a petition was to show public support for a cause(or candidate, or whatever). Why sign a petition if you don't want anyone to know?
I can understand if you once believed in some now very unpopular cause (as probably the case with the Palestinian), but Jeez, petitions are by their nature public documents.

I use the Sage plugin for Firefox and I like it quite a bit.

The model number is PS4. Info here.
I got mine at Walmart for under $30 with a couple batteries.

That's the first time I've heard (read) anyone say anything like this about Quicksilver.
Rushed!?!? The book is 900 pages long!

Well, I'm glad science has advanced to the point where it was possible to figure this out. I'll sleep better at night.
I haven't used it for a long, detailed paper yet, though.

It's not mentioned in the article, but is this new 'Microsoft Alternative' even targeted at the US market? Smartcards aren't exactly popular here.
You would need some converters as well as LED driver chips to run the 'bulbs' optimally.
This is all doable; it's just a lot easier to use one of the many, many, many types of incandescent bulbs.

Well, here is google's official info on Cindy. It includes a pic.
I'm running debian on a Sparc 5 and, alas, the latest version for linux on sparc hardware is 5.0.
It's too bad, I use Opera almost exclusively on my WinNT machine at work.
