I remember reading Slashdot (roughly) 20 years ago, using lynx on a RS6000 terminal at college. At that time we had to compile stuff by ourselves to enjoy the internet... Slashdot was one of the few sites that didn't try to sell stuff to us. Wasted more hours reading stories here than attending math courses...
Here in Chile, everyone rushed to call their relatives when the earthquake came. The three main provides of GSM telephony collapsed, because of the huge number of people calling, oversaturating all the base stations. Also, the lights went off, and most towers shut down. Almost no one could place a call, and certainly not at the epicenter.
So I think that sat phones are a better idea for tsunami warnings.
But with open source software you have the option to make it work with older software/hardware. There are Linux versions for XT/286. You can't do that with propietary software.
You're right. I've a Silicon Image SATA controller that the XP install wouldn't recognise. Using the floppy that came with my motherboard did the trick.
I think that the main problem with my n-gage is that most of the launch games were crappy ports from other consoles. When nokia started publishing games customized for the strong/weak points of the console (I can't stop playing Pathway to glory) they started to receive good reviews from game sites/magazines.
One good point about the n-gage is the SD slot; I can load software easily (arcade/console emulators). And there are loads of Series60 software.
you don't, just reboot with the disc in the CD drive. your bios should be configured to boot from the CD first, then the hard disk. if it isn't, with newer bios you can push a key to select the boot method (cd, floppy, hd), typically F10 or F12, check your motherboard's manual and your BIOS boot messages ('Press F10 for boot options' or stuff like that).

The latest Winamp includes an iPod plugin by default. No need to install anything. Works great with my 1st gen Shuffle.

like the GBA? most of the GBA games would probably fit in the PSP RAM anyway, no CD reading -> more battery life.
Also, the microphone input is tipically mono sound (one channel only).
Nethack IS available on Windows CE. I play it in my iPaq 3970 (PDA).

there's an option to install it to the harddisk. should be in the faq. never tried it.
you don't, just reboot with the disc in the CD drive. your bios should be configured to boot from the CD first, then the hard disk. if it isn't, with newer bios you can push a key to select the boot method (cd, floppy, hd), typically F10 or F12, check your motherboard's manual and your BIOS boot messages ('Press F10 for boot options' or stuff like that).
