You would of course have to run linux, as it is the only OS available on PDA's that is actually capable of this. Windows CE was never designed to do this stuff.
FUD.
You can easily synch with multiple "base stations" (I suppose that would make them the clients, and the PDA the server) in CE. Contacts, email, appointments, files, etc, all updated on the big computer from the version on the PDA. Just activesync with another PC, it will ask if you want to make this the only PC it syncs with, or add it to the list. Choose the latter, and it works just how you describe.
Compaq has a lot of expansion, but they are too expensive, and if you want a pcmcia slot, you can't have a compact flash slot, and in almost all features, if you want one, you have to forget other.
USB? Forget that. My ipaq does all that. My camera uses CF cards. I have wireless and wired nics. I have the option of having one or two PC card or CF slots for my ipaq (depending on what I need and space).
So, I take pictures, put them on the CF memory card (microdrive too, if I want to burn the batteries for it). When I'm done, I slap that CF into the ipaq, and I can view, edit, and transfer. If I want to copy them straight to the network, I put on the two-slot sleeve, and do that.
And it runs windows. And works great. I suppose Linux could do it if you wanted to program it all.
The clone wouldn't even necessarily look like him. Genetics only give a potential for physical manifestation, it's your environment that has the final say. Look at europeans from a few hundred years ago. Most were relatively tiny. Sure, some of the change in average size is due to better breeding, but with modern humans (eg homo sapiens sapiens), that's less and less a factor. Most of it has to do with nutrition and atmosphere.
So why use backbones? We have the technology RIGHT NOW to make the internet more into something like what it was intended to be: set up neighborhood wireless mesh systems and connect communities with longer-range repeaters. Forget the wired internet (or maintain your own private connection to it), keep useful content on your mesh. It would make it a damn sight more community oriented too.
Just get physical access to the machine. You can then use any number of filesystem readers to get at anything on an NTFS volume, regardless of permissions.
Odd, I've experienced the opposite. The people with degrees are the ones that are just there for the job: "I picked this because the field has good advancement potential" "I wanted a job that pays well" "The work isn't hard to learn, and it's stable"
It's the people that take the initiative to learn it themselves, without the popularity review board riding them, that make the best employees. They're the people that are there because it's where they want to be. They have the most drive for success, as such.
Actually no. My life is not structured such a way as to allow me to schedule my appointments and events around a television studio's lineup, so I don't watch TV.
But I'd consider it if I could get a couple of specific channels (I don't mind paying, like for cable or DTV, perhaps even a tad more, to get exactly what I want) commercial free and when I want them.
Of course you're right. It's like playing with homemade bombs: you're never totally secure, all you can offer are varying levels of security. Cat5 is more secure than wireless because it's physically discreet and can be obscured (among other things) but neither it, nor any other medium, is invincible.
To do this, they would need to gain access to the building
You act like none of us have ever done this before. Of course, it was just single-duplex 10 mbps, and the building was mostly open to the public. And, um, it was just proof of concept. Yeah, that's right.
I was going to ask why the article has all that equipment, but I guess it might be required if you're doing hi-res computer stuff on the screen (but then what's the point of hi-res? Why not just scale it down?). But if you just want to watch TV, all you would need is the overhead, panel (provided it has s-vid or RCA in) and a VCR or DVD player. Most of them nowadays have s-vid or RCA out (and s-vid to RCA is just a dumb converter away).
This trend satisfies what comes to mind. First, patent something with a little human in it. Then patent something with more human in it. Then patent something with pretty much all human DNA, except for one or two inactive genomes replaced or removed. It looks like a human, it smells like a human, but I own it!
Slashdot Mirror
The device, or the people that use them?
going by f = 1/t, thats a damn small antenna . . . then again, maybe that was the point. :)
Get an ipaq, get js-scape (I think that's it any way), and bring back Ricochet (or move to Denver) and you have it.
FUD.

Oh? It seems to work fine for me.

This is why we do not want backbone monopolies.
I have been trying to get people to help me with this for months. Anyone in the houston area want to set up a Free mesh?
Why? Who says anything has to be connected to the internet? Publish content/services/presence on the wireless mesh. Forget about the wired internet.
Eh, go to a hollywood video. They have the wrap on a roll, and a hairdryer. That's all you need . . .
It's for the chastity belt.

I already have both of them, thank you. :)
[I have to type something here because the lameness filter is stupid]
I just bought a new DVD Player/Reciever and television. Now I know what game system I'm getting.
Anyone have any advice for decent games to get with this thing?

Hear hear! I've tried to convert, but my software just ain't happy. I'd even host a little. Just get me the MPEG.
