What we NEED is a clear, thin plastic screen to go over the LCD to prevent things like dumbass girlfriends getting their fingerprints all over my nice 15 inch laptop screen.
I don't know about the rest of you, but my girlfriend is free to touch anything of mine...
I can tell you that you'll be out on your ear quickly if you're clicking on laptop keys in my classroom. I and most of my colleagues only make exceptions in cases where physical disability prevents you from using a pen and a notebook.
I have a disability; I write horribly slow tih terrible penmanship.
I'd really like to see an Athlon XP 3200+ go up against a Pentium 4 3.06GHz in software rendering. Usually, when a new proc comes out, everyone benchmarks it combined with a top-of-the-line video card. I've never seen the point of that. Why not use a software renderer to see how truly fast the CPU is?
Space men have only died in shuttle disasters, such as in 1986 and also a few months ago.
I beg to differ. Many people, both Russian and American, have died in the quest for space exploration. Apollo 1 was one such disaster. All three Apollo 1 astronauts died due to a cabin fire. And there have been almost countless Russian incidents in which cosmonauts have died, most of which occured during the race for the moon in the late 1960s.
Why aren't more binary releases compiled for i686 or at least i586? For command-line applications, I can understand compiling for i386. Many of us have a 386/486 PC running as a router or for some other use. But you would think that with the horsepower required by KDE, binary releases would be i586 or i686 by default.
DCPlaya is a fantastic MP3/Ogg/MOD player for the Dreamcast. There's no streaming support yet, but the player is open source and the author is working on a plugin API, so we could see it very soon. I use DCPlaya all the time now and I think it's the best DC MP3 player out of them all, including the commercial ones.
Making for a console is a whole different ballgame of course, since they're essentially completely proprietary embedded systems (yes, I'm counting the PC-like Xbox here).
This isn't entirely true. The Sega Dreamcast has a great homebrew community around it, mainly because the DC doesn't require a modchip to run non-Sega code. All it take is a binary burned to CD-R. Of course, the homebrew games aren't quite up to the standards of professional efforts, but the open-source KOS toolkit is getting better everyday.
As for the Xbox, all you really need is a $75 modchip, since it's just x86. And the Linux kit for the PS2 has opened doors for homebrew development on that platform.
The only system you're really SOL on is the GameCube. But I'm sure someone will find a way around its protection, too.
I didn't say that we shouldn't use a technology just because the Nazis used it first, I simply asked if this was the sort of thing that they tried (not genetic engineering, attempting to speed up evolution). So, please forgive me for my ignorance. Science was never my strongest subject in school.
If it weren't so overpriced and crippled. You really have to question who would buy such a thing. For the same price, you can get a really nice notebook computer with a faster processor and a faster GPU.
Perhaps they use a bootloader similar to the one used for OldWorld Macs on PPC Linux distros?
I don't have a Jornada 820, so I can't verify that it runs, but it does show up in their machine database (along with the Jornada 720), so surely someone has it running.

For iCab, you can use the 68k version under an emulator like Basilisk II.
Maybe he was working on some cockpit graphics for X-Plane.
Two words: Tempest 2000
And it did have the best version of Doom, as far as consoles go.

That depends on where you live. :-)
The screenshots look amazing. That last one looks almost REAL. I can't wait to see what Valve has in store for E3...

I'm still sort of learning as I go along, doing the website at work, and don't want to mess it up and feel more foolish if I do it wrong

That's what the preview button is for.

What kills me is that the "new" SP finally has a lighted screen and still the game quality doesn't pass on what TurboGrafix was doing in 1991.
Have you played Metroid Fusion? Or Advance Wars? Or Golden Sun?

Isn't this the sort of thing that the Nazis were working on back during World War II?
I think you forgot something.

When Sega released the 32X, the Saturn was less than a year away. Most developers and gamers just waited for the Saturn.

Well, since the Jornada 820 uses a StrongARM SA-1100 processor, it should be capable of running ARMLinux.
The ultimate mod would be a PC inside a square watermelon.
Well, there's this island about 100 miles off the coast of Costa Rica...
If there were Bluetooth-enabled digital cameras, this would be the perfect solution for storing high-resolution, uncompressed images.
