or it could be the 20mhz processors they used to use. God,when i first bought a PDA it was the $150 ipaq 1300 with a 266 mhz ARM processor and a huge screen and the only comparable palm was a fricking 20Mhz m100 with a tiny tiny screen. It also helps that pocket pcs are jsut that, they are like little hand held computers.
man $159 is really equal to $321. Have you wondered if there is something about your local taxes and stuff that makes it expensive for you? I know everything else is expensive in Europe.
could that be because there are so few linux users that it makes no sense to publish linux games separately? x86 linux users can also easliy boot into windows for games like they do now. I suspect they keep that in mind when they ship CD.
Also, there is a difference between computer harware and software. Many linux users I know don't even install Mplayer DLL packages becasue they dont want anything closed source on their PCs. The Linux community is very politically motivated against non-free software, I doubt you can deny that. Look at any thread about a new commercial program for linux and there will be a few nut jobs demanding not only the source but also the rights to modify and redistribute the program.
How did you determine that? Mac users spend thousands on their machines and certianly pay for software. There is a whole community of Mac shareware where piracy hasn't completely taken over like in the case of windows. The same can't be said for linux users who are used to getting everything for free.
As anyone who has lived in the 3rd world can tell you, you can pick up TV on ordinary FM radios it is a matter of tuning it to the right frequency. I have seen these things in Asia for years.
wow FR linked to the front page of slashdot! I never thought I'd see the day. As everyone knows, cooreation is a really bad basis to draw conclusions from.
You will also notice that use of gopher space has gone down with the rise of hurricanes this year. I think it is time we all dropped the internet and went back to gopher space.
remember a time when it was only Palm and they were on top. what happened? well, even though they were really entrenched, they didn't develop their OS infact, in many ways it is very similar to what it was like 10 years ago. Now compare that to the current state of the upstart newcomer, windwos CE.
This is an interesting outcome. It shows that regardless of how intrencehd you are, you can be killed off by a better product. I wonder if longhorn will be an example of this.
Slashdot Mirror
why do some of these products just seem like ads? Its hard not to laugh when you come up on something like this :
"Microsoft Windows Media Player 10 Media Player" . I have no idea how media player is the best media player. The article cant explain it either. hmmm
PDF has been a target printer in Gnome for a long time. I reckon longer than OS X has been around.
The GNOME project was started in August 1997
OSX around in one form or another since 1989
right becasue they both use ARM now.

you really should contact the ISP that is providing you with the connection. I dont know if they sell IP's but you can certainly rent one.
EMS MySQL Manager 3 Lite is by far the best
support for inserts will be added in version 7.0

heh he actually is a mac user.
Man i thought i saw a similar article somewhere before
no i think he means crappy filters. How often do you get warnings that hotmail or yahoo might be blocking legitimate email? i see it all the time
you forgot Free POP3

"the market for Mac is iffy"

Ozzie
Flea
Smash
Hurricane Xena warrior princess..

then so would be paint shop pro and tons of older programs called photo shop and who can forget print shop..
did you hear John Kerry served in Vietnam!
you missed Pol pot
and Fidel Castro
and of course North Korea
I think it's called Mad Cow...
last i checked, korean used an alphabet and rarely used Chinese characters. I dont think it is as prominent as Kanji is in Japanese.
