This already happens here in the UK - RDS! Do you have that system in the US?
Stations also send out a special signal when they are about to make traffic announcements, so the stereo can jump to that station while you are listening to a CD. Useful except when the stations send the signal at the wrong time, or forget to send the "release" signal so you have to manually switch back...
The article describes how to connect a PC running linux to the phone to allow surfing from the PC. He is just using the phone for "fast-ish, always-on connectivity".
Did you think he meant that you connect the phone to an existing internet account on the PC or something? I must admit I'm not sure what you're on about:)
I don't think he mentions surfing from the phone at all.
That seems amazing! Too good to be true? I know that o2 (BTCELLNET) here in the UK got into trouble a while back when they advertised an "unlimited" text message price plan, which turned out to only allow 300 text messages.
Also - anyone know of a price plan in the UK that allows unlimited data?
I don't know about most people here, but I really don't get on with character or word entry using any kind of stylus - there's something unnatural about having to keep your hand off of the screen and only make contact with the stylus.
I see this table is not pressure sensing, does this mean you will be able to rest your hand on the screen while you write?

I had the exact same thing when I started to program in C. I nearly went insane... I think I was doing something like
if (value = 1) then...
and it was always TRUE for any value. Until I remebered about having to use "==" instead of "=" !
Took me a while to realise that the actual "operation" of assigning 1 to value was always succesful and that I wasn't doing a comparison at all. Grrr.:)
I was going to post something sensible, but right in the middle of my screen I ended up staring at a ruddy great OSDN advert for MS Visual Studio.NET !
What idiot at MSFT thinks that people reading/. will be interested in purchasing such a thing?:)
Can't say I've ever seen a MS advert on/. before... what's next - fluffy TUX pengies for sale on www.microsoft.com ??

Why does he have to release the code? Open source is not necessarily GPL!
Come on, read more than the title!
This is essentially broadband on a laptop/pc but using a cell phone to connect rather than a landline / cable / adsl.
It's nothing to do with surfing the net on a phone, which is another story.

That "poll" sure must have a lot of options! But how many of them are CowboyNeal?
Last I checked, Nuclear weapons did a pretty good job of folding MY proteins! ouch!
Um... mine does! 2 CPU's, 2 pengies. Have I missed the joke here though?
What happens if you are logged in via dial-up? Will it ban the MAC address of the box at the ISP that you're dialed in to? :)

Actually... the Temporal Billenium Timeline Act of 2533 _does_ make time travel illegal for the purposes of copyright :)
I first read this as "gravitational wombles" and thought it was some weird furry creature living in space...
Yes... but I'm sure different countries have different laws! Although most americans would have a hard time grasping that.
That's one thing I wish my ipaq had. (Running linux of course)
:(
I really want to be able to connect my Archos MP3 player to my ipaq to be able to use it as a removable hard drive, but, they are both USB-slaves...
101? :)
Christ, now I have coffee up my nose. I'll be sneezing for the rest of the day!
Lol! took me at least a minute or so to work out what the hell that thing actually does! :)
