  1. Great Calculator on Bad Review for the Zaurus · · Score: 2, Informative

    He missed the boat with this one. I purchased one at JavaOne last week. I love it.

    It runs Personal Java so tons of software is available for it. As for the Calculator NeoCal (a free d/l) it has tons of functions including Financial functions. You'd think that a guy writes for the WSJ would be interested in those functions.

    Under Windows2000 I've had no problems Syncing with Outlook. Granted the button doesn't seem to work, so you have to do it from the software. I've got the Developers version (5000d) so perhaps it works for the Consumer version (5500).

    The keyboard is highly usable, and lots of fun to use with BASH.

    NeoCal is a cool little calculator it Supports Algebraic and RPN. Functions are broken up into Standard, Financial, Scientific, Statistical, Programmer and Conversion.

  2. Re:Demand on Bad Review for the Zaurus · · Score: 1

    The $300 one is a Developer version the 5000d. It has less memory then the 5500 64 vs 128 and it doesn't contain the Microsoft office compatibility software. $300 bucks is what Sharp was selling them to developers for.

    Won't be long now before I'm dressed up as a Grey standing on a building with a sign that says "Welcome Friends". 'Course I was voted most likely to get Vaporized by my High School Class.

  7. Re:Porn is not the only thing it filters out on Largest ISP In Philippines: The Catholic Church · · Score: 1

    If the Church pays for it then they are more than welcome to ban what they find inappropriate. Is it really any different than MayberryUSA http://www.mbusa.net ---Terry.

  8. Re:Lefties hate privacy, freedom on NZ Government Pushes For Wide Spying Powers · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that NZ has been going after private gun ownership. I'm sure life in NZ will be so much happier and safer sans guns and privacy!

  11. Goverments haven't figured it out yet on Sovereign Individual (Part One) · · Score: 1

    Things are changing. Look at how much trouble governments are having at controling the exchange of information. What governments haven't figured out is that they can't stop the information. Anyone who wants to can find DeCSS or kiddieporn despite them both being unlawful to diseminate in the US.

    Is it possible that IBM has also developed the world's first Heisenberg compensator?

  15. This is a larger issue than schools on Showdown With The Pinkertons · · Score: 1

    In HS I'm sure that I would have been identified as a potential risk. It's only a matter of time before companies and government agencies (The Post Office) will implement similar systems. It always amazes me what rights we are willing to give up.
