I think Handspring is still the better deal. Third parties have already shown heavy commitments to make products for it such as Wireless ethernet, addon camera, etc..
Who cares about a 'Wireless' modem when you can have wireless ethernet to your office. To me, that's much more of an advantage. So far, the Handspring can do everything the Palm can do.

If we support the "x-no-productlinks: yes" header, that just opens the door for other providers to incorporate similar services which can be turned off with these x headers. Before you know it, to send a simple 10 line usenet message, you'll have to include 20 lines of x headers to keep every deja type company from mucking it up. If anything, Dejah should have an option for the reader to turn on this hyperlinking (knowing the author didn't put it there) and Dejah could provide a disclaimer at the bottom of the message stating the hyperlinks were not by the origianl author. -Iota
It may not be perfect at first, or ever, but it's still better than nothing.
M$ PnP was awfull at first, but it's gotten a lot better if you stick with name brand components. I find a lot of PnP issues envolve the end-user not reading the installation directions first--as it to preload new drivers, etc..
Now all we need is an opensource Linux version of 'OilChange' with no subscriptions fees. (For those of you who don't know, OilChange monitors your system's drivers and checks the manufacture's websites for periodic updates and will automatically download/install new drivers).
If you've been hacked, reload.. It's that simple. If you designed your system 'right' from the beginning, this isn't a big deal. Here are some basic steps I've used that anyone can use.
1) Get your *nix (or any os) setup the way you want, with patches, drivers, etc..Don't load application software yet. Create an Image of that machine.(ghost, drive image, etc..) 2.Load your applications. 3.Set your syslog to mirror your logs on another server. 4. If possible, try to move your 'data' directories (from your applications) to another directory for just 'data'. (You'll have to create symbolic links from their original locations.) 5. Backup your DATA Directory/Drive ONLY!
Too many times do I see people backup their entire system whether it be Winblows or *nix. If you get a virus, or comprimised binary, that file/binary will be backed up! If you don't catch the attack, all of your backups could be infected. A good rule of thumb is too only backup your DATA, not your binaries. After all, you own the software, right ? *grin* Then, the obvious solution after a hack is to: 1) Reapply your OS image (ghost, drive image, etc) 2) Apply new patches/fixes/close security holes. 3) Reload your Applications 4) Reload your data 5) Point the applications to your data on the other drive.
Yes, it can be a long, drawn out affair initially, but whether it be a hacker or just plain system crash, the restoration process goes rather smoothly.
Hrmmm.. Fine . Don't pay. Then a big bad US corporation will buy your TLD. Obviously, TLDS are reserved for each country, but if the country doesn't want to pay the fees, why not someone else?.cc and.to were 'sold' ? I agree something needs to be done, but why is this suddenly an issue NOW ? This isn't the first year they've had to pay fees. -Iota
In society, libel charges handled via lawsuits. You're served with papers to appear before a judge to answer the 'charges' against you. Only when you are convicted can the plantiff seek/claim damages. People don't go directly to jail and first. Ya know that thing, Innocent until proven guilty ? Do you honestly think when the 'The Star' or 'Natl Enqu' are sued the police confiscated all their computers and throw them in jail? No. Both tabloids have been sued, and lost, multiple times. Yet, they are still in business... go figure. Not arguing whethere what he did was right or wrong, his civil rights were violated. He's not a threat to society, he's a minor. He shouldn't have been jailed. At the very least, they could have gotten an injunction to make him take it down until the trial is over.
Blah... at least when I get junk email it costs them between 20-30cents.. So, it really 'costs' them to anoy me. Unfortunately, with a free internet connection, it doesn't cost them any more money (which is none) to email 1,000,000 rathern than 1,000. Our friends over at userfriendly painted the picture back in August of '99. Here's the link. --
At the very least, all this does is test a firewall and the people who set it up.
A decent firewall, supports statefull filters. (i.e. Outside connections can only be established if they originated from the inside.) As for Public Web Servers, they should be setup in a DMZ, not on the private side. (Firewall 101) This method relys on getting a SYN (not SYN/ACK)request in from the outside. With statefull filters, this is most difficult. As for spoofing IP addresses, a firewall should never allow private address from the outside/public network.
This exploit is only good for a skr1p+ k1dd13 trying to hack into his high school.
I wish they went with the modular design like the Visor from Handspring. The flash is cool, don't get me wrong, but it's the same story of adding and deleting applications to free up space rather than plug 'n go. I wonder if it's possible to put some sort of ethernet connection directly into it. It'd make checking mail/browsing a lot smoother when you're in the office. Still.. A great shot a 'real' linux pda. Hopefully this will spawn off more linux pdas.
Here's the direct quote from RFC2133.txt: " This address format allows the IPv4 address of an IPv4 node to be represented as an IPv6 address. The IPv4 address is encoded into the low-order 32 bits ofthe IPv6 address, and the high-order 96 bits hold the fixed prefix 0:0:0:0:0:FFFF. IPv4-mapped addresses are written as follows: ::FFFF:IPv4-address " -I0ta
IPV6 does have lots of promise, but like the article said, there's not enough ppl damanding it.
Not to start a flame war, but when big companies like Nortel and AT&T produce decent products that will do Voice over IP with the services we're currently used to, you'll see a big demand for IPV6.
Companies are currently hiding before NAT Firewalls, which luckily is helping out the shortage to some degree, but once Voice over IP actually 'works', It'd be difficult not to have each station/phone not have a valid ip address.
Since the merger of Nortel and Bay Networks, I forsee some Voice over IP solutions coming out putting more of a damand on the Router Vendors for IPV6.
Bandwidth control is the responsibility of the network people. If they're not already doing some sort of control, they're idiots. Why should a RESNET dorm take priority of a classroom ? MIS can control it at the application layer. The question is, do they have the smarts. Can't blame napster on idiot MIS ppl.
