I did get one yesterday. I knew I wanted one, just did not know when. Stopped(on a whim) in at the local store waited an hour and was out the door with one. There was not iphone rush but I did not thing the hype was a big.
I had very specific needs that the iphone did not do well(ssh, vnc, real keyboard) Also, know that I usually take the wait and see approach to tech and not an early adopter. I am very tech savvy
So far I am very pleased. It is mostly intuitive. I am find the menu key/scroll/click awkward. Can't yet comment about the "Store" but code.google has meet my immediate needs with little fuss. Still missing backup(pc or sdcard) and sync(to pc not google). This should be easy and obvious it is not so I am still working on it. Also missing is one touch wifi and bluetooth see palm, they are buried in the settings menu. Battery life is short in data mode, get a car charge, and one the desk at work. Some interface tuning is definitely needed.
This may seem a bit odd but try the basement of the building. Basements are usually cooler then the upper floors. Simply blow the cooler basement air into your server room.
The down side of this is moisture and the outside chance of CO poisoning.
I installed Edunbuntu on a old laptop and my 4yr old loves the Childs Play games. I have a one of the $20 multi game things. Mr PacMan, Pole Pos, Xevious, Mappy, Galaga. My kids like to watch me and my wife play. My two year old thinks he is the ghosts when he plays Ms. Pacman, and he also seems to like Xevious. I should note my kids don't know how to work the VCR, DVD, or TV remote and are have a very limited TV schedule and game time is even less then that.
So I guess, when they are able to physically play let them play. It is now part of our culture. I expect to get a wii sometime this year just need to save my pennies.
While I am laughing about this silly patent, I am more concerned about the safety of what ever is created. I don't believe the GM crops are 100% safe. GM crops are not hybrid crops.
IF MICROSOFT BUILT CARS..... 1. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car. 2. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on. 3. Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail and you would have to re-install the engine. For some strange reason, you would accept this too. 4. You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT" Group Licence. But, then you would have to buy more seats.. 5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was much more reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to drive - but would only run on 10 percent of the roads. 6. The Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars, which would make their cars run much slower. 7. The oil, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car default" warning light. 8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt. 9. The airbag system would say "are you sure?" before going off. 10. If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened. 11. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft (tm) Gas.
Thats ~840,000 a year. I wonder what his expences are? I wonder what his taxes are? If someone where racking in that kind of cash some one might notice.

Add some video glasses/goggles and I might be interested. The existing screen in to small for real work.

Here is what I did.
I used a utilitarian naming scheam and then use CNAMES for functions.
Everyone is happy.
To me this is a deal breaker, I have 5 computers I keep in sync.
I hope someone else actually picks this up or they get a clue.
This made me say Eww!
The next question I have is do I have to use the Chumby network or can I feed it my self.
No much use if I have to pay with my privacy or let someone else tell me what I can watch.
Oh and then there is the current MS fiasco now that they are turning off their first attempt itunes.
I am so sick of seeing bad movies being made from good books hell from bad movies from bad books.
Just go read a book any boot will do.
Fine,
When the mosquitoes are gone what are the
Bats
Birds
Fish
going to eat.
Oh yeah, the needle snakes will feed them gorillas.
Idiots

Thats fine until the robots figure out how to reproduce.
Anyone remember "Deamon Seed" or the more recent Battle Star Galatica.
Can you rape a robot?
Can a robot rape you?
Actually, I have two, and I supervise them.
Yes, raising children requires work.
Move the computer to a public location.
That way you can watch them.
God forbid you actually raise your own child.
"It's 10:00 do you know where your children are?"

I have always been perplexed by the move from the 64bit P5 to the 32 bit duo in the first place. Though, I understand that the duo2 is 64 bit.
I have been running NetBSD with IPF with great success.
According to this it was Alabama not Florida.

In Florida they are still working on it. Though, I don't think his status is still good standing.

For those that don't already know this your grandmother reads your e-mail.
Plan accordingly.
Managment won't care until they get to 99.999%.

Quick Some check to make sure the Mom is not forcing this guy to build robots and his name is not Farnsworth.
Why, MacOS is already unix based. The point of Cygwin is to add posix and unix like wrappers to windows. :-)
Unless you are pulling chains
You folks fail to relize that they can't have data dating back 800,000 years if the earth is less then 6,000 years old.
They will also happen to act like "Terrorist".
Why do we have tlds at all. They are ignored anyway. Seems to me this is just another way to scam money.
