The "glued together" attitude also results in the fact that once GPRS becomes available (in Europe, this will happen in just a few months), you can throw this 9210 brick into the ocean, as there is no support for it. It's better to have to dedicated devices so everything doesn't become obsolete at once.
If you care about using the net with your phone, you don't want this thing. At least if you live in Europe, where GPRS is available in just a few months. It features faster transmission and the connection is always on. When GPRS becomes available, this product will be obsolete. And by the way, there are lots of better keyboards out there, like in Psion Series 5 and Ericsson MC218.
In Europe, we'll have GPRS in just a few months. Then this product will be obsolete. GPRS offers faster data transmission and the connection is always on, so it really is worth waiting for.
Hmm, yeah, if the latest Java VM is ported to that platform. This is not always the case. For instance, it seems that Java 1.1 will be the only version supported by EPOC.
Not text files, but text editors. You can start with a text file, insert a couple of html tags here and there, and use htmltidy to format it properly into strictly standards compliant html. It's good for all uses.
It's the information age. People can choose to live how they want - real or unreal - and there's nothing wrong with that. If you don't plan to have children, why should you care about abortion? And if you don't go outside, you don't get shot. If you have enough money, why should you care about budget issues? I personally don't care about my health as long as I have my freedom.
Is this article saying in its first sentence that any people that have worked on any proprietary software cannot work on free software? I mean, who hasn't? Or is this "illegally copied" part somehow relevant?
Personally, I love Compact Flash. It is so widespread that a lot of totally different devices use it, ranging from PDAs to digital cameras to desktop computers to whatever. No need for cables, just switch the Flash.
It's easy to say "we go open source", because that way you don't have to make a commitment. Now "we're releasing Java as Free software" - that would be a bold move.
RMS doesn't say it's GNU or nothing. He says it's freedom or nothing. Like the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau said, people must be forced to be free.
I wonder what tasks require them to have normal laptops. For all of my studies, a PDA (with a keyboard, so it's a "palmtop") and a desktop machine are more than enough.
If the brand matters the most, wouldn't it not be better if Red Hat was unable to create one? If one distributor has a highly visible brand, doesn't it mean they'll rule the market even with inferior products? Aren't brands therefore bad?
And I don't see why it's good that the distro you're using now is going to be around for 5 years. Aren't you going to do any reinstalls in that time?
There's something to be said for being able to hold a book in your hand. The flexible pages, the weight, the simple fact that you know it is something tangible.
Are these arguments for or against paper books? To me, being able to hold a book in your hand is restrictive. The flexible pages - it's not that nice when you accidentally tear a few of them apart. The weight - that much more to carry around with you. Tangibility - meaning "this is mine, this is not to be shared with others. Open source? Freedom?

In my opinion, all attempts to prevent copying of digital information are but obstacles that will eventually crumble down. But for the people who are not able or not willing to go through troubles to get what they want... well, even a small obstacle is sometimes enough to make them give up.
Actually, it was found out in some study that the headset acts as an antenna, and that its radiation to the brain is three times as powerful compared to using only the phone. Well, I sometimes use a headset anyway, and I trust no study anymore.:-)
Correct me if I'm wrong (I may well be), but isn't Nano-X Free? It seems to be licensed under the MPL, and "Alternatively, the software can be licensed under the GPL, if desired", as their web page says.

Yeah, it can be turned off. Just like macro execution in MS Word. ;-)

I understand you have the possibility to move abroad into a totalitarian country if you wish. :-)

By 2004, even all the beavers of Canada will have broadband. Better yet, make that mobile broadband. :-)

This is also not a flame, but I'd like to know what that really important stuff is. Could you give an URL or something? Thanks.

Does it run GNU/Linux too? :-)

Once they're split up, this oughta help "Office" Microsoft port their suite. :-)

If I'm correct, according to this page, freshmeat alone contains over 10k apps (look for the appindex figure). So...
I don't know if many people will find a person that has a textured skin very attractive, though. Are we talking about Klingon porn here, or what? :-)
This sounds *exactly* like Goethe's "Faust". :-)
