Now I don't know what to choose. I was just about to fork out for an Orange SPV, but now I'm sorely tempted by the new 8910i, which will still talk to my iPAQ.
Because most Mom & Pop PC users will not have an ethernet interface. A special USB cable to allow host-to-host is cheaper than bundling an ethernet card, which a lot of users would not know how to fit anyway.
Although I've heard it will soon(?) be available on Orange.
My solution is currently an iPAQ H3970 talking to a Nokia 6310i via bluetooth. I can leave the phone in my backpack and send and receive e-mail, SMS, surf the web, even connect to IRC on my iPAQ. Pretty sweet.
You can still lock the workstation in Windows XP. Either press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and click "Lock Computer" (Just like in Windows 2000...), or, if you have a Windows key, just tap Windows-L.
You can't "defy" a theory. That's why it's called a theory. Theorys "evolve" (heh) until they finally fit all the available facts, and then we can be fairly sure that that is what is really happening.
I don't think this is about sharing your broadband.
It think this is about using your WAP to route packets between different WAPs within range. This way, peer-to-peer traffic can "hop" between nodes without ever having to go onto the public net.
It's an alternative, wireless, internet, and I like it.
This is, without doubt, a great idea, but for this to work there needs to be easy-to-use software (yes, for Windows, as well as *n?x) that will automate the process of linking my AP to all the other APs in range, and routing packets between them.
If people can't set their AP up to do this easily, it won't happen, due to huge gaps in the net.
On a not entirely unrelated subject, the main differences between Mozilla 1 and Netscape 7 are: * ICQ/AIM integration in Netscape * No pop-up killer in Netscape
I like the first, but I don't like the second. Is it possible to add the ICQ integration to Mozilla, or, alternatively, to add the pop-up killer to Netscape?
Would it not be a better idea to allow the participants to become familiar with the original, source audio, and then get them to rate the various compressed formats (without them knowing which is which) as to how much the sound like the original?
Surely "How much does this sound like the original?" is a better test than "Which sounds best?"
However, if you repeatedly run it through a high-quality JPEG encoder, it doesn't actually look that bad. JPEG has a remarkable property in that you can re-encode it with very little quality loss.
Yes, they tried this in England, and discovered that every single street light was acting as a giant transmitter, and worse, it was a little bit too close to the frequencies that ambulances used to talk to each other.
Most modern Nokia phones, at least in the UK, already divert your call to voicemail if you punch Red. They also have a fourth, extra-spiffy option, a *silence* key that mutes the ringer, but does not disconnect the incoming call, so that you can then run outside and answer it.
Of course, you should have muted it in the first place, but there you go.
Slightly off topic - never did "have a problem"

The phrase "Houston we have a problem" was never actually spoken except in the movie. What was actually said was:
55:55:20 (9:07 PM CT) - Swigert: "Okay, Houston, we've had a problem here."
Which is slightly different. You can read the transcript here.
does a palmpilot type stylus --not work? I'm curious -I'm going to check now.
Hey it doesn't --- Why is that?
I believe it's because the trackpad works by electrical conductivity. When you touch the pad, you reduce the resistance of the pad in that area because your finger conducts electricity slightly, and the pad uses that to work out where your finger is.
Annoyingly, something metal doesn't work either, presumably because the pad ignores partiularly low resistances on purpose.

Decisions decisions. Sulk.

So (again, AFAIK) there shouldn't be a problem.

This camera is probably the first to match the quality of a decent 35mm camera.

Is the new Libranet based on Debian 3.0? I can't seem to find anywhere that will say so.
But to link directly to the crash-windows-in-one-easy-step binary? That's just plain irresponsible.

The project was abandoned.
Does the animated twinkling wallpaper somehow help?
And what happens when it's cloudy?
"Why not?" is a much more interesting question than "Why?". It's how science advances.

Well I just left a new negative comment, and I can only encourage others to do the same.
