So I fire up an instance of Mozilla on 32-bit Sun, and it takes 39MB just to open to "about:blank". Open slashdot.org, and the process size increases to 42MB.
i86 Linux: open to blank page, 21MB; surf to slashdot.org, 24MB.
How will this fit on an '030 Amiga? I don't think memory sizes beyond a few dozens of MB were common, were they?
A significant portion of the PDX metro area lives "across the moat" in WA state (across the Columbia river). Plenty of those folks work in Portland, and drive over daily.
Does Oregon propose to stop incoming out-of-state cars at the border, and slap on a spy box?

ID#13077 in a message entitled WASTE gone... RETURNED! (look in the forum CommunityCenter/GeneralDiscussions at

has the source and binary posted.
You'll have to register for the WinAmp forums first.
Not sure if the poster hacked/altered them first, but at least something appears to be there. I was unable to grab the installer earlier, but I did grab the.zip for the sources earlier. The.zip I grabbed earlier and the.zip posted in said forum match according to the cmp command.
I'm gonna build from the sources myself rather than run the posted.EXE.
I owned a 5500 briefly, but returned it for a couple of the reasons you mentioned:
(1) A keyboard is required for me on my PDA/small computer. The 5500's keyboard was just too small to use comfortably. By comparision, my current PDA (HP PalmtopPC 200LX) has keys positioned on the same centers (same grid distance) as the C700/C750/C760. I can type on it quite effectively. Although it is not classic "touch typing," I'm at least 80% as fast on the 200LX as I am on a full-sized QWERTY keyboard. If the C7x0s' keyboards have similar tactile feel, I will be happy.
(2) The 5500's screen was just _too_ small. There are simply not enough pixels (it's 320x240 if I recall). Portait orientation also is not my first choice. All my other displays (computer, TV, movie screens) are landscape oriented, and I prefer that. Example: using a terminal window (sometimes necessary!) on the 5500 was extremely painful. Even on my 200LX I can get a useable terminal window when I need it. The 200LX's screen is similar in size to the C7x0's (if a bit wider) but is lower resolution. So hopefully the C7x0s will be OK for my purposes. A terminal window may not be my killer app on these devices, but they are necessary once in a while. I want such a window to be useable.
Why not institute metric time while you're at it?

It may make more sense mathematically, but is useability as good as what we now have?
I ask this question both with respect to the proposed $0.18 coin (and friends), and with respect to metric time.
Sounds like there's a Spam PAC throwing money around D.C.? Except for those who send it, Spam seems universally reviled by recipients.
Why would this R-LA guy sponsor said bill when it doesn't address core concerns: people don't generally want UCE unless maybe they've opted IN for some source with which they maintain a relationship.
Is this another case of a congress critter being bought off, or is he simply clueless -- or both?
Proper date coding of ink supplies is even more important for printers with semi-permanent print heads.
There are high end models now from HP, which have the print nozzles and the ink reservoir decoupled from one another. The supplies and the print heads are connected by tubes.
Both the ink cartridge and the print head are removable and replaceable, but the print head is designed to last many times longer than a single ink cartridge. It becomes much more important to make sure that the ink is "OK" when you're using a print head that will go for thousands (not hundreds) of pages.
P.S.: The ink cartridges are separately replaceable by color on some models. E.g.: black ink runs out? Replace it, but leave the existing cyan/magenta/yellow ink reservoirs in place. The HP model 2500 behaves like this, I believe.

Traditional spamming costs the sender. Sending a paper ad, or calling the recipient's telephone through interstate lines costs the caller much more than it costs the sender to "pick up" and receive the [generally] unwanted message.
Sending unsolicited adverts via email, however, puts the cost burden on: (a) the delivery businesses (ISPs, employers), whose networks transmit extra unwanted data, and on (b) the recipients, who spend time filtering/deleting unwanted messages, possibly paying their ISP's for the privelege of doing so.
I am the most reticent person to propose a legal solution -- but -- why can't we / how do we -- make legislators understand that the not-insignificant costs of electronic (email) Spam are essentially paid for by the deliverers and recipients of these unwanted billions of messages, and not by the senders?
We should push the costs back to the senders, or make it much less palatable for them to send.
One of the reasons the justice Department thinks MS is not a monopoly is that they think Apple is a viable competetive force. Apple still exists, but has been very much marginalized. Yet MS can still claim that they have competition in the form of a specific corporation. There are probly many other reasons justice bailed on the MS suit.
MS is a major stock holder of Apple, and provides special technical consideration so that MS application products (Office) can run on MacOS.
It is in MS's best interest for Apple to remain in existence: to a small degree because of MS's financial stake in Apple (although Apple is 1/100th the size of MS), but to a much larger degree so they can claim, "we are not a monopoly."
Intuit has had this cavalier, we'll do what we wanna, attitude for at least 10 years.
I used to work on printer drivers at a certain unnamed large printer company. Intuit (Quicken) did some blatantly illegal manipulation and overwriting of the "print record." This was stored with a document to remember File/PageSetup options the user had chosen. There were clear definitions in the API on how the print record should be used, and in particular on how it should be translated when moving from one printer to another. (I.e., a laser printer with postscript has different settings than an inkjet, yet some items overlap and are shared by both.)
Anyway, Intuit's Quicken just basically did the wrong thing. They wrote their stuff over the top of what was there, wrote it incorrectly, and didn't even bother to execute the proper translation algorithms.
We, as the printer driver people, had to put in special code to _detect_ Quicken, and _clean up_ after their mess so that the rest of the world was happy.
To users, this appeared that the printer driver (before the special code) was screwing up. We got all the customer service calls complaining that "your printer doesn't work with Quicken."
In reality, Quicken was behaving badly and didn't work with the _entire_ printing system!
We repeatedly called this to Intuit's attention (with clear proof). They basically told us to go away, and they never did fix the problem.
After that, I resolved to stay away from Intuit products entirely. (Although I did use Quicken for a while after Managing Your Money was discontinued.)
It is no surprise for me to see Intuit still doing naughty stuff. From what I can tell, this seems to be a part of their corporate culture. My own personal approach is still to avoid Intuit products at all costs.
The Pontiac Fiero (1980s car?) had no paint, and used plastic body panels pinned to the frame. The frame alone provided all structural support (body panels did not contribute to structural integrity).
The plastic was mono-colored all the way through (no laminated exterior layer). So theoretically, "chips" would not show. The panels were flexible and dent resistant. The panels were designed to be indivudally removed/replaced in cases of extreme damage. They were also much lighter than steel.
Why didn't GM stick with this? Did the plastic glaze, or age badly?
If the federal budget gap grows much more, they can simply contract these cyber solders to MPAA/RIAA for professional hacking and disruption of all those evil peer to peer "music stealing" services!

Both (a) and (b) require us to turn out more revisions!
