It'd be awesome on the new colour ones. 8mb of ram is enough to store a level if you leave out all the crap you don't need. You'd have to cut alot of it out anyways because a palm isn't much of a computer as far as computers go.
It'd be sweet to be able to have deathmatches on palm/laptop/whatever. Someone'll do it soon (uh oh, I better patent it quick!)
The people posting the "double negatives are evil!" threads are probably the same ones who were posting all the "millennium doesn't start till 2001!" threads a couple months ago. The same ones that will post a reply to correct your spelling.
Since I got my CD burner 6 months ago I've downloaded and burned over 11,000 MP3's, any CD I've ever wanted by any band I can think of I can now obtain easily for free. Has the record industry lost thousands of dollars due to my piracy? Hardly, they've lost the $200 or so I would have spend at the USED record store. Heh, so I guess they didn't lose anything because they've already made their profit off the used CD's.
Information Society did something like that on one of their albums. You hook up your tape deck to a 300 (or was it 1200?) modem and download some story off the album. I never did it myself though.
If you do a search on ftpsearch you should be able to come up with some hits for the o'reilly Perl CD Bookshelf. (Hey, don't bitch at me, I didn't upload it there) WTF is up with computer book prices anyhow? Most are C$50+ for paperback! What's up with that? It's almost as bad as the price of textbooks. Especially since the books are made obsolete whenever new versions of the software come out.
Well, we'll see in a few months if it's dead or not... As soon as the free BeER 5.0 version comes out, I'm switching to it as my primary OS and keeping win98 around for games (yeah, i know, win98 is evil, but Ultraedit32 kicks ass for perl coding, plus Xwin is too slow and clunky. I use linux for all my servers tho!)
I'm hoping that Be doesn't die due to their lousy marketing like so many other great companies. (NeXT, Commodore, Atari...)
Freshmeat is for downloading the shit,/. is for bitching about it, flaming, trolling, zealotry, my-os-is-better, "i submitted this last week", and "Linux!" 'No! BSD!'
$5,489 for the base unit with HMD, and all you get is a lowly P200, a tiny little 32mb of ram and a pathetic 2.1gb hard drive so you can run linux/win98/whatever, but not very well. But you can upgrade to a P233 and 64mb for only ~$800 more! Or for $6,971 you get the P233, 128mb ram and a 4.3g drive... WHAT AN AMAZING DEAL.
PFFT. I want a wearable, but there's no way I'd allow myself to get ripped off by these guys for such a shitty system. Maybe someone will come out with one of these with a Crusoe, 128mb+, and at least a 6g hard drive for $2500.
They can pass all the laws they want and there's no way they'll ever stop me from getting my 0-day warez, my pirate movies (anything that comes out in the theatre is on my hard drive within a week) or my mp3's. They can just give up now, because they'll never win. Copy protection only hurts consumers, crackers will always be able to get around it, so there's not really much point. But hey, I guess it keeps people in jobs trying to think up new protection schemes and keeps the crackers entertained breaking them.
Untrue, LSD doesn't work like that... It builds up a tolerance very quickly. You usually have to wait at least 3 days between trips to give your brain time to normalize, or take significantly higher doses.
Hmm... I dunno about that... Alot of my net.geek friends smoke weed, and do the occasional psychedelic (lsd/shrooms/x) I always find that I'm a much better coder after I've had a joint, brings out the creativity. Of course things may be different here in Vansterdam, BC than other places.
The biggest risk in doing most drugs is the risk of getting arrested.
Wow, memories... The PET was my first computer... My uncle gave it to me when I was 6, litte chicklet keyboard, built in tape drive, something like 16K of ram... Boy was I happy when I got my C64 at 8 =)
I don't see what all the fuss about 'cybersquatting' is... Domains are like real estate... if you can find a great place in a good location for a good price ($70) why shouldn't you buy it? I'm all for grabbing as many good domains as possible. Hell, a buddy of mine has 300+ domains he can play with. I can't wait for new TLD's though, it's getting alot harder to find decent domains to pick up... Though you can still find some pretty nice ones if you sit on the netsol whois page and free associate. It sucks that you have to pay up front now... back in the day you could think up a good domain and register it for free and park it at hypermart until you decided what to do with it. And if you end up not using the domain? Oh well, the final notice comes and goes and netsol would take it back.

shutdown -h now
No soldering job is complete until you've burnt yourself
It's -1, Troll now... Pretty appropriate considering he's the king of the trolls.

The moderation system is stupid and breeds trolls. They get off on making people waste moderation points.
I read at -1.

Heh, better hope your boss doesn't see that and fire your ass for breaking your NDA.

Heh, it wouldn't be too hard to whip up something like that in perl.

Ok, so how long til I can write my own tiny little logos with a $250 printer?

No way! You should do 3g or so of shrooms, wait an hour and a half and smoke a joint. The best way to become one with the game.

Who cares? They wouldn't bother with all the first post crap if your type didn't make such a big deal out of it.
sure you can, i see it all over the place here in vansterdam... err.. vancouver
