Wow, WCDMA/UMTS is a mouthful. Still, I think PCMCIA takes the cake, just because it's widely used, and yet everyone gets it wrong. Best way to remember it:
Well, yes. I suspect since he lost his hearing, he came to appreciate it more. Don't forget that Beethoven composed his Ninth Symphony, with the "Ode to Joy," after his hearing was completely gone.
PocketPC devices are too damn big. And now that I have three devices to carry around (phone, palmV, ipod) I REALLY don't want to add any more weight.
So no ipaq for me. But as others have said: use the right tool for the job. As for this Palm, I suspect that most buyers will stick with the $100 models, since palm is really good at being a PDA, and less good at expanding into pocketPC like applications.
Well, I never use AIM, but there are millions who swear by it. (Kind of how some people swear by IRC.) AIM on Palm is actually something that these millions might find useful - think of the cellphone users who SMS each other all day in Europe and Asia. (And here, though fewer as it doesn't work well.)
Would I buy it? No, because my Palm V still works fine. But it does seem like a useful device.
It compresses the audio, taking out blank space, to fit in between 30 sec - 2 min an hour. Rush Limbaugh among others have blasted it for ruining the listener's experience.
It's definitely a true story. I remember when it happened, and I also remember going to Denny's before then and it was true - no locks! Weird, but you could certainly count on them to stay open all the time.
And in other news, you can buy an AT&T prepaid phone card at the post office, and you can book a Hertz rent-a-car via Amtrak. We must save the taxpayers - nay, citizens - from this travesty of justice!
Seriously, who cares? I bet if RHAT paid USPS enough, they'd put their CDs out too.

None. They wouldn't have been able to hire anybody. That's why Gateway moved from Sioux Falls (home of the cows) to San Diego.
The story says the profit is net profit according to generally accepted accounting principles. (Of course the real scandal is that many companies are choosing to ignore GAAP in favor of the "pro forma" crap you discuss, but it doesn't apply here.)
I'll take the karma hit. Scriptmods may be okay for dumbass stuff like goatsex ascii art, but for a legitimate discussion about slashdot? I don't think so.

Memory is so cheap these days, that would raise the price to what? $449.95?

I would use a laptop. An iBook would be a much better choice. Record as real WAV files, then export to MP3 whenever necessary.

Does this mean Region Code Enhancement, which uses scripting to check whether the player is region 1 (and IIRC only region 1), would be banned in Oz?
Truth is always flamebait on slashdot ;-)
Perhaps it actually works in XP? My 98 laptop suspends without difficulty, but it BSODs about half the time on wake-up - not fun.

Maybe that Mendocino guy could use this to power the town without all that nasty electromagnetic radiation?
USPS has offered pre-paid phone cards for years.

Yeah, I'm sure our friend Dmitry would be delighted that comic artists are using this.
Fair enough. The iPod still kicks butt though, for the mac user; don't sneeze at 800+ songs, it's very very convenient.

Everyone is burning mod points over at this thread. Read it, it's interesting!
I mean, come on, pirates can't get on a plane?
