  1. What this isn't new! on Brain Controlled Tightrope Video Game Shown · · Score: 0

    I have a game "system" in my closet called the Mind Drive where you could control games with your mind. It was a Nolan Bushnell company from 7-8 years ago. This is hardly new.

  2. Re:Um... on Slashback: Scrambled, Dreams, Stars · · Score: 1

    It also stated it could "possibly" be fraudlent activity. Nothing said that there had been fraudlent activity.

  3. Re:Lack of qualified workers is not racism on Racism At Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    I would have to agree with this statement. I was interviewing to fill entry level networking positions for my companies NOC. Out of 75 applicants there was only one black applicant. She was one of my best employees. I lamented to her one day about the lack of black applicants when I was hiring. She gave me a few articles regarding blacks and computer use that really opened my eyes to emerging trends in America. The employee percentage at Microsoft is indicative of our society as a whole. Blacks have been left behind in the Information Age. I hope this suit will awaken the black population and encourage young black men and women to enter the tech field.

  4. My pet peeves and a new toy that avoids them on PDA Keyboards Compared · · Score: 1

    I have tried both of these products and my biggest gripe is that they both will not allow you to use an add-on modem while using the keyboard. If someone came out with a keyboard that worked with a modem I would be a happy man.

    I just bought a Sharp Mobilon Tripad and I am very pleased with it. It comes with a decent keyboard (yes it's like typing on chiclets at times but you get used to it quickly) and a built in modem. It also has a PCMCIA slot for an ethernet card and a Compact Flas slot. You can also swivel the screen and use it in tablet mode. It comes with Win CE but you can run NetBSD on it. The 12 hour battery life is a nice little bonus too.
