One of the desktop models that we ordered for widespread deployment in our enterprise was the compaq ipaq desktop. The 10GB Fujtsu drives that came in the 866mhz ipaq desktop. "Hard Drive Model MPG3102A" are failing left and right. I would estimate that I have had to replace on average 2 of these drives a week for the last few months. The drives started to magically fail after about a year of use. Fujutsu says that the drives should be covered under compaqs warranty. (which is only 1 year, and since gone), and refuses to help us replace their defective drives. The funny thing is that these drives have a known hardware flaw, and there is a firmware out there that tried to fix it. All of our drives have the alleged "fixed" firmware, yet they still are failing. If anyone wants a box of the 50 or so fujitsu paperweights that I've got over here please let me know. I really wish we didn't have to eat the cost of all these drives.
I compiled it using cygwin. (blech, I know it isn't the best way to do it) Ran it several times. I have several computers on the LAN. Each time the linky hard locked and needed to be rebooted. It could be specific to the befsr41w, and my firmware version. (Version 1.1 Release 17)
Could be a fluke. But I kid you not that it was the linky, and not my pc.
When I ran the following code, which is designed to return the wep key, admin username and password on my linksys befsr41w. It hard locked. I tried it again. Same thing.
(the befsr41w is less common, it's like a befsr41 with a pcmcia slot so you can upgrade it to support wireless networking)
Are you sure these aren't acid tablets? Looking at how M$ Screwed Nvidia with the xbox revisions I don't see why Transemta would want to hop into bed with them.
I noticed that Lik-Sang is still selling dreamcast Mod-Chips. (well they're still listed anyways but out of stock)
http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=42&pro du cts_id=68&
I understand that the dreamcast has reached the end of it's life. I also understand that most dreamcast consoles can run "backups" with no modchip whatsoever; however so have other consoles that had equipment designed for them removed from the site. Maybe sega just doesn't care, or maybe they overlooked it. Either way it's bold to leave anything out there when you're under the microscope like I'm sure these guys are right now.
When looking for memory, I'd reccomend buyaib.com, Their website always has great deals on memory. About a year ago, I was able to pick up a gig of pc133 memory for about 65 dollars after shipping. (2 512MB Sticks) I discovered them through pricewatch, and they have always treated me well. I have ordered approx 50 sticks of memory from them and never once had a problem.
Copying dreamcast games can be done 2 ways. With a custom built serial cable, you can even buy them from lik-sang.com. The second way is via a special boot disc, and the broadband adapter. Boot up the dreamcast, give it an ip, and upload the data from the gdrom to your PC. Information on both of these techniques can easily be found online. Games larger than 700MB usually have the video downsampled, and / or / cdda cut out. That aside, I honestly doubt it was piracy that killed the dreamcast. I think that fear from Redmond did.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2001
COX COMMUNICATIONS ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO AVOID DISRUPTION OF COX@HOME INTERNET SERVICE
Pact Ensures Residential Cox@Home Customers and Business Customers Continue To Receive High-Speed Internet Access During Transition To New Cox-Managed Network
ATLANTA - Cox Communications, Inc. (NYSE: COX) today announced that it has reached an agreement that will allow the company's 555,000 Cox@Home customers and more than 20,000 commercial business customers to maintain Internet access through their broadband connections until the company transitions to its own high-speed network. The agreement is pending approval by Bankruptcy Court Judge Thomas E. Carlson.
Through the agreement involving Excite@Home, its creditors, and other cable companies, Excite@Home will continue to serve as Cox's supplier of high-speed Internet service while Cox rolls out its own managed network over the next few months. Under the terms of the agreement, Cox will pay $160 million to Excite@Home for three months of uninterrupted service for its Cox@Home subscribers. This amount will be in lieu of the monthly subscriber fees previously paid to Excite@Home.
Excite@Home filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September and subsequently was faced with a court ruling that threatened to disrupt high-speed Internet service for approximately 4 million residential cable customers, including those served by Cox. Some customers of Cox's commercial division, Cox Business Services, would also have been impacted. On November 30, a bankruptcy court judge approved a petition filed by Excite@Home giving it the right to terminate its service agreements and cease providing service to its cable affiliates and their customers. However, following Friday's ruling, Cox was successful in negotiating a new temporary agreement with Excite@Home so that service will continue for a brief period of time until Cox's new network is fully deployed and its Internet customers have been transitioned to a new Cox-managed service.
"We are pleased that all parties in this case reached an agreement based on the best interests of our customers," said Dallas Clement, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Development. "This agreement allows an orderly transition of Cox@Home customers to our own high-speed network without the fear of major service disruptions."
The agreement doesn't change Cox Communications' plans to transition its customers to the company's own nationwide high-speed Internet network. That transition will begin in December and will be completed, on a market-by-market basis, by March 2002.
"This agreement means we have been given time to transition our customers in an orderly fashion, without any prolonged service outages or e-mail disruptions," said Pat Esser, Executive Vice President of Operations. "Establishing our own network will give us more control over the quality and reliability of service, the ability to add new features, and allow us to be more responsive. Our new system will be based on the most advanced technology and will be supported by Cox technicians and service representatives who will monitor all aspects of the service and quickly resolve any technical issues. Ultimately, our own network will allow us to provide an improved customer experience, which will increase customer loyalty and attract new customers." Cox Communications currently offers high-speed Internet access through Excite@Home in 18 markets. In addition, Cox provides high-speed Internet access to an additional 230,000 customers under the brands RoadRunner and Cox Express. These customers also will transition to Cox High Speed Internetsm service later next year. Cox Business Services Internet customers will simultaneously transition to the Cox-managed data network.

The designers of this computer certainly aren't compensating for anything.
It's not the size, but the way you use it.
It's a handheld text scanner. You simply swipe it over the text, and it has ocr capabililty. You can scan the text right into your text editor.

Is for my copy of windows xp to stop giving me the "you have encountered a fatal error, would you like to report this error to microsoft" box.
