You all have probably seen a Nokia 8850, 3310 or a 6110 (might have different names in the US). Now my question is, how small is usable? Or rather, how thin? As we all know there are people with bad eyesight, "fat" fingers and not to mention old people. I don't mean to troll now, so please don't flame me, I'm just trying to point out that we ought to stop for a minute, and think how small we should make them. Old people are bound to have problems if (cell) phones are going to be too thin/small. Some even say that the 3310 is too small for them.
Not to mention that they are easy to missplace...
But on the other hand, small can be good also:)
Please check before you post?
This is NOT a G400/G450 problem, it's a limitation in Windows 2000! Any other OS can take advantage of the DualHead feature, read more about it here
"One list of 2.4 issues is available here, for the curious."
Please note, that list was: "Last modified: [tytso:20001112.1433EST]" (test11pre3) which is out of date, big time.
For a list of changes since then, check the
Changelog-test11 for test11, Changelog-test12 for test12 and Changelog-test13 for test13
The first being: Let's say I make some data, now if this would go through I couldn't make backups of it.
Who controls what? I CONTRL AND OWN MY DATA, no one else.
I have a right to make as many copies and backups of the software that I OWN as I like, not mentioning the data that I HAVE created.
Surely there is some kinda law that prohibits this thing from going through.
The second: It's only a specification and so far I've only seen IBM's name attached to it, there are a number of other HD manufactere's, like Seagate, Wester Digital and Maxtor and more.
They won't like it, why? Because the number of HD's needed would shrink, no backups -> less HD's sold. For business reasons it cannot work.
These are simple reason why it cannot work, post more reasons. (sorry for my bad gramma)
Here it is, I just cut & paste. I hope securityfocus won't sue me now...:)

It seems Microsoft was not very amused at my posting of their
advisory to the list the other day. As the copyright holders
of the work they have told me in no uncertain terms that I do
not have their permission to redistribute a text version of
their web page bulletins via the mailing list or the
securityfocus.com web site, and that doing so would be considered
an act of copyright violation.
There you have it. So until Microsoft changes their policy or
changes their email bulletins back to the old format you won't
see them on the list. Of curse the vulnerabilities and their
information will continue to be announced.
They did state that they are continuing to accept feedback from
customers about their new email format. So if you liked better
the old one you may wish to let them know. You can send your

Sorry forgot, the caller ALWAYS pays the call. If the call is being redirected or the user that you are calling is aborad then he/she pays all extra fees, note that the caller pays the fee that normally would apply when calling the user.
As I am fortune enough not to live in the States but rather in a country that has good and decent cell-coverage nationwide I'd think it would be useful for you to hear how we have it here in Finland, the home of Nokia.
We in Europe are using a 900/1800MHz frequencies (GSM), with 1800MHz being "dual" 2x 900MHz. These two have different prices, with the 1800MHz being the cheaper one. We have a per second based fee system, one minute can range from 10 cents to 40 cents depending on when you are calling and what kinda contract you have. SMS messages cost about 10-20cents. Our providers have deals all over Europe and Asia, which will allow us to use our phones there also; prices are higher of course there.
When we buy a phone we get the phone number for free with $20-50 free call time, usually this is divided into two and given every 3rd or 6th month. No retailer makes money by selling phones, only buy giving numbers. The phone companies pay them of course for each number they give. You do not have to take a new number when you buy a new phone if you do not want to.
What more... hmm, we have some sort of WAP tools/news systems, but they are way too expensive for regular people, i.e. ranging from $1-$2.
Someone can continue as this is all I can think of right now.
"If the counting is automated, with people pressing buttons to vote, then how do they recount? "
Well now that's simple, it's been done from time to time. You press them again, that way it will be even more exciting:)

Check this one out. Cool or what? Too bad it's way too expencive, I wonder who will buy one for $250? The idea is great though, use your old cassette players. Second bad thing is that it can only hold 30min of music. They don't say how much the flash addon costs, but I bet it will be expencive also.
...everyone is entitled to use the OS/distro they like, I like Windows 2000 and the Linux distro known as Slackware. I use them because I like them, and to be honest I don't give a *peeep* what you think.
I understand perfectly why Red Hat feels that they are under the wrong kinda criticism(sp?). How many of you that have criticized Red Hat 7 has tried it? Let's be honest? How many? Very few...? Is it really that bad, I don't think so. Don't get me wrong I think that Red Hat is more bloated then ie. Slackware but I'm still not shouting to everyone how bad it is. Why? It's simple: I haven't tried it.
Sure, Red Hat has more bugs than other distros but they fix them as soon as they find them (unlike Microsoft). And often it's not even Red Hats' fault, ie software that comes with Red Hat and other distroes but for some reason Red Hat get's the credit...
I have feeling that I'm going to be flaimed for this. And no, I'm not trying to start a war here, this just how I feel and these are my opinions.
Imagine, soon we'll have computers in CARS! Now if someone would to DoS them;-) *CRASH*
What about fridges? Now if someone would h4xx0r my fridge and all my coke would be warm someone would be DEAD!;-)
Why is it that almost everyone wants to hack together some sort of support for DOS? What's so great about DOS after all? Sure, you can run old games but besides that?
DOS (or what's left of it) will be removed in Whistler, but I bet that ten years from now, Microsoft will add DOS again as a *new* "feature"

Hello,
As I am fortune enough not to live in the States but rather in a country that has good and decent cell-coverage nationwide I'd think it would be useful for you to hear how we have it here in Finland, the home of Nokia.

Has anyone seen Red Dwarf out there yet? :)
It crashes now and then, and there is a memory leak problem
;)
Well it _does_ sound a lot like Netscape to me
I hope that it's better though.
Take a look at these:
Is it just me, or does picture number 1 look like a screen shot from SimCity? =)
What about picture number 6 then, looks like a screen shot from a scifi movie :-)
No "civilan targets" were destroyed... yeah right compare the pics before and after the war in Chechenya
Imagine, soon we'll have computers in CARS! Now if someone would to DoS them ;-) *CRASH*
