  1. New Clie over Palm m505 on New Clie Handhelds from Sony · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If I had my time to go over, I would have purchased a Sony Clie instead of my Palm m505. These new ones with memory stick (you can buy it at walmart and its cheap, unlike the m505 cards) and the oh so impressive audio out feature make this a must have. Palm should pay attention before their market share on devices dwindles more.

  2. Graphics Hardware on Preview of Unreal Tournament 2 · · Score: 3, Insightful
    As for the systems that the player will need, we are trying to scale it for the lower-end PCs to the absolute high-end PCs. I can't be more specific, as we are still optimizing the game at this time.


    I hope they truly mean low end hardware, and not a Duron 1ghz and a Geforce 2
  3. slow rollout is the problem on What's Holding Up Broadband in the U.S.? · · Score: 1

    at least where i live its impossible to get dsl or cable unless you are right in town. until they bring the high speed services to people who arent within city limits, they will not capture most of the us population.

    A national geopolitical policy in which the entire world is regarded as the appropriate sphere for a state's influence.

  6. Re:Pray... on Crashing Xbox Kiosks · · Score: 1

    As funny as you thought you were being, its very unfortunate that Microsoft is indeed putting NT boxes in hospitals ranging from Nurse's stations, to controllers for XRay devices.

    Even the Microsoft zealots I know (yes they exist) worry about this.

  7. Re:more accurate... on Physics and Archaeology · · Score: 1

    One *glaring* inconsistency in "traditional" Christian belief is that Christ died for our sins, fulfilling the law of Justice (there must be reward for every action, whether good or bad (see: action/reaction on a spiritual level)). If God is omnipotent such that He can disregard all Laws, spiritual or physical, then why have His only begotten Son die? Why couldn't he wave his hand and make Justice disappear?

    God requires a blood sacrifice for our iniquities. He sent Jesus to pay that price for his chosen people. Since that price is paid, he can no longer extract it from us. This is the glory of Jesus.

    God is bound by no law, but he is faithful to his promises. This is often a confusion of people.

  8. USB Wires Crossed on Lawsuit Alleges That Palms Damage Motherboards · · Score: 1

    What this sounds like to me, is that somebody wired the front USB ports on the case incorrectly to the motherboard. I know on some motherboard/case combo's, the plug block was wired incorrectly, or it wasnt even a block at all, so it was very easy to confuse which way they needed to be plugged in. So in effect, when the user plugged in his palm pilot to the USB port, the wrong voltages were going on the wrong wires, thusly frying the motherboard. I've seen it happen with joysticks and mice, theres no reason it couldnt happen with a palm. Note however, this has nothing to do with Palm, and everything to do with the original PC manufacturer.

  10. Re:A hoax? on Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome A Hoax? · · Score: 2

    As someone who suffers from RSI, i can definately tell you that you are selling yourself short with Aspirin. Ibuprophin is a much better choice. Not only does it relieve pain, but it also reduces swelling, a major helper for carpel tunnel pain. As always consult a doctor, but i take 600mg twice a day, and you can take 600mg up to every 4 hours i believe without ill effects.

  11. Quick Assumptions on Why Software Still Sucks · · Score: 1

    When I read this article, I get the feeling he hasn't really ever _used_ linux any more than that guy you know on IRC that installed Redhat once and is now a "Linux User" and a "Hacker". He talks like someone who has merely read a few buzzword articles and now has the holy grail of knowledge on terms like "Open Source", "Bazaar", and "Command Line".

    Also worth noting was his comment: "It's almost an orthogonal question," he says. "I think you could have open source movements that, through a peer review system, adhere to the strictest, most anal-retentive quality control program as well as open source projects that function in a perpetual state of redesign. Both are entirely doable."
    I guess he's never heard of [favorite version]BSD.

    Oh well, I guess its time for me to write an article on Quantum Physics... I have afterall read a few Slashdot comments about it.

  12. actually...... on Domain Resale for Fun and Profit(?) · · Score: 1

    DeBeers merely helps regulate the price of diamonds. DeBeers does not control and will never control the diamond market. Not every diamond purchased goes through debeers hands, in fact, I dont even think debeers handles diamonds themselves. Diamonds are not rare, this is true. Gem quality diamonds are however very rare. Colorless diamonds are rarer than yellow diamonds. Flawless diamonds are rarer than included ones. Larger gem quality stones are rarer than small ones. Mining and the craftsmans time cutting diamonds are what drives market price up.
