So.... You want a Treo. It's like a Tungsten C, but with GSM or CDMA instead of Wifi. The current Palm version runs ~$100 with a new contract or renewal with your cell provider, and the newer WinCE (if you swing that way) version runs about $300 with activation.
You might try looking at the Cypress PSoC. It offers a small RISC-y micro coupled with an array of analog and digital blocks that can be configured for your application. They're low power, available in small packages, and are very cheap. Apple has even started using them as a single-chip solution for their new touch wheel controller.
Right on. At least AMD is playing the game now. Just a couple of years ago the best AMD had was their mobile Barton, and even that was far ahead of previous AMD based laptop solutions (ever see a mobile K6?).
You mean these? They're much cheaper here. If you want them a little less ugly and don't like the volume control, there's also these that use the same driver. This model (and the really ugly big brother PortaPros) is considered a
'sleeper' model by many.
Goes a long way to explaining why they last longer than the standard cheap Rat Shack crap.
Good call. They allow just enough outside noise in to keep me from appearing deaf, but block out most of the annoying fan noise from machines around me. Sound is really good (studios still use them) and can be driven with most soundcard or MP3 player internal amps. Plus more recently manufactured models (mine are ~4 yrs old and still are in great condition) still come with the big blue-on-gold stickers on the side that say DIGITAL so you can relive the 80's "I don't buy tapes anymore" trend.
E/M radiation that we usually experience like light or radio usually isn't powerful enough to destroy the data directly (though the EMP from a nuke set off nearby might be). However, if a laser pointer could get the surface of the disk hot enough, the patterns of data on the surface of the disk would start to bleed together (see here). That's one reason (besides the melting and all) that thermite makes a good HD eraser.
First off, stop letting your OS manage your menu.lst. Then, put your kernel in the base of the boot partition along with the previous kernel you installed as/vmlinuz.old (make install on the kernel handles this for you) and a memtest86+ image. Finally, set up your menu.lst (or grub.conf) like the following (ymmv). You get automatic boot to the default kernel, optional 'safe mode' single user or the previous kernel installed, and memory test. Nicer than the RTFMs you'll probably get in addition to this, eh?
timeout 5 default 0
title Linux root (hd0,0) kernel/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3
title Linux (single user) root (hd0,0) kernel/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 single
title Linux (previous kernel) root (hd0,0) kernel/vmlinuz.old root=/dev/hda3
title memtest86 root (hd0,0) kernel/memtest86+.bin
Ahh... Micropolis... Fast, reliable, and it can be counted to regularly thermal-recal with a sound not unlike flatulence.
Why not Connor? Back In The Day(tm) they were the best compromise between price, performance, and reliability. A friend of mine recently had one give up the ghost after ten years of constant service.
Because, as sexy as the Gumstix is, it's not a router. There is no Ethernet and Wifi in the $99 package. The WRT is very popular for public access points since you can load NoCatAuth, and many others use it because it allows them to have a wireless router customizable beyond what the original manufacturer intended.
That being said, I'd probably rush out and buy a Gumstix if they came out with a Wifi daughtercard. The CF wifi solution is bulkier than I'd like.

Is that something like Fish Brain Robot? Or Purple Monkey Dishwasher?
I Gauss you can't expect every university president to understand electromagnetism.

I'm not sure if Alan does, but his brother has a history of breaking in to military computers.
They already did. But it predated the SciFi channel and the rat had to think in Russian.

Terminal? Bah. That's like saying that a taxi was your first car.
Probably doesn't help his case that a menorah holds nine candles.

If city governments didn't buy this stuff from chemical plants to put in drinking water, they'd have to dispose of it like any other toxic waste.
It's not the city governments or plants that are doing this to us. It's the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids. Duh.
1) Get marketeer / PR / whoever really drunk (easy)s /index.html
2) Emulate what is done here: http://www.octanecreative.com/ducttape/walltaping
3) ??? 4) Profit!
...just because they claim to have invented magtape and have a big stake in the market.

Don't talk to me about life.
Imagine it is like slashdot, but without moderation and only between two or 3 people.
So, you repeat yourself every so often and at every new topic one of you shouts "FIRST POST!!!"?

Zoidberg, requisition me a beat.
