  1. Re:Can't you just upload them? on Ring-Tone Barons? Japanese Record Companies Raided · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In theory, this should be possible with most newer phones. However, if you have bought the phone from your network operator, you might have bought a crippled version of the phone: Vodafone sells these kind of phones here in Germany: You cannot use get photos out of the phone or get ringtones into it via Cable/IR/Bluetooth ...

  3. Why do some components use metrical screws? on Which Screw Goes Where? · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Maybe there's a simple explaination:

    All components using (metrical) M3 screws have originally been built by european and/or japanese companies: As far as I know, the 3,5" diskette has been introduced by Sony in 1980, the CD-ROM drive was originally developed by Philips and Sony and introduced in the midth of the eighties.

    In contrast, the 5,25" floppy disk drive (which uses non-metric screws as well - if I remember correctly) was "invented" by Shugart in 1976, the harddisk is an american invention as well ...

  6. Have a look at Cherry's G80 series ... on A Selective History Of The Keyboard · · Score: 1


    If you don't like those membrane-type keyboards, have a look at Cherry's G80 series of keyboards.

    The G80-3000 keyboard is about USD 50,- here in Germany. Do I need to tell that all my computers (except for my preario notebook computer) use G80-3000 keyboards? ;-)

  7. Re:Price? on More on the Samsung Linux Handheld · · Score: 4

    The GMate guy at CeBIT expected the price to be in the US$400-600 range, depending on memory size (16/32MB or 32/32MB RAM/Flash). BTW: This 1400mAh battery is said to last about 10h ... Mali
