This looks like it could be useful, but it doesn't help with 70% of the problem, the monitor. My 19" monitor is much heavier and harder to grip than the box itself (the massive 22" monitor I almost got would have been even worse).
Er... Well, y'know. You can't make an omelette without um... destroying a forest. Or something.
The Dreamcast had the games. The trouble was that people were expecting that the PS2 was going to be a little god in a box. Most people only buy one console so lots of people didn't buy Dreamcasts because they were waiting for the PS2. Maybe if console developers could get their costs lower (that's a big if) and sell at a lower price they could get people to buy more than one console. If consoles were cheaper I could buy all of the predominant ones and never have to dispair when a game I want is being released for a console I don't have.

The trouble is that most Palm's and Visors can't handle it. Someone ported a Game Boy emulator to PalmOS but found that the hardware just couldn't cut it (actually, now that I think of it, I think there is a Game Boy emulator for Palm OS that people are actually using, but I doubt it works overwhelmingly well). The Visor Platinum and Visor Edge might be able to run Game Boy games in emulation.

The problem with the Game Gear was that the games sucked. I remember at the time when I played with my friend's Game Gear I was impressed, but looking back on it now I realize that none of the games (at least none that my friend had) were as good as the games on Game Boy. Consider Zelda: Link's Awakening (I realize that it came out after the Game Gear faded away, but it's the best example of a good Game Boy game). The game was on par with Zelda: A Link to the Past. It was a solid game with great gameplay and great graphics. Looking back on the Game Gear, the graphics weren't that great, the colors were vivid leading one to overlook the graphic deficiencies. Also, the Game Gear games I played had rather simple game play.

I had a GoType keyboard, but I no longer have it because it was in my bookbag when I lost it (along with my TI-92). Anyway, when the Stowaway is folded it up it is quite sturdy, and when I'm using it I'm not flinging it around or anything. People in stores always find ways to break demonstration models. It seems as though it would be fairly easy to break the Stowaway if you were trying to break it, but so far I've had no problem keeping it intact.

Take a look at the Stowaway keyboard. This spiffy little device is a full size keyboard but it folds up so that it is only slightly larger than my Visor. I take notes in class using it. Seriously sweet.

Palm's have been heavily overpriced these days. I don't want to pay that much for a corporate status symbol when I don't work for a corporation. The Visor does the same things for cheaper. Although I may buy a Visor Prism when they go below $300.
Anyway, the Visor Edge is already out, and I'm sure the price will drop from the $399 its at now giving these new Palms some serious competition.

Isn't Penrose the one who believes that consciousness is the result of quantum effects in electrons moving through microtubes in the neurons? As far as I know there is no current evidence of these quantum effects and until there is this is just speculation. The work is good, just not my pet theory. I kind of like the idea that the hippocampus (or was it hypothalamus, whichever one controls concentration) is the center of consciousness. This matches Sartre's idea that the mind is made up of not one but many consciousness (he may have gotten that from Husserl and some others though). Sartre rejects Descarte's "I think therefore I am" (although he also says that the existence of oneself and others is a "factual necessity") because the consciousness that does the thinking isn't the one that says "I am" (I believe that the consciousness that says "I am" corresponds to the hippocampus (or hypothalamus or whatever).

At Georgia Tech there is a study abroad program for CS majors in Barcelona. I'm not sure why they chose Barcelona, maybe there's a school with a good CS program there.

Of course, I'm not looking for pop music. The punk labels I listen to didn't request that Napster remove their music. I didn't expect them too though. Also, I can still find lots of jazz (even though the copyright has not expired). A search for Bach was fine, as was a search for La Traviata. So punk, jazz, baroque, and opera don't seem to be affected by this. I think I may be willing to pay for Napster this summer.

The non-electromagnetic smog in Atlanta will kill you first. Of course, the smog here is not as bad as the smog in some other cities, such as Los Angeles where it already has killed everyone.

Georgia Tech got one of the letters from the RIAA and there was some brief discussion of it, but I think that the administration has more or less ignored it. If the RIAA ever tries to sue Georgia Tech for allowing students to use Napster, my plan is to file a class action suit against the RIAA for all of the students here, since taking money from my school harms my education.

I go to Georgia Tech and I didn't know about this. I need to get a wireless LAN card for the crusty old Thinkpad I have (which I only have because it has a corner of the screen blacked out and a hard drive with an overwhelming number of bad clusters as a result of one of my dad's coworkers dropping it, twice). Then I can buy a scanner and scan all of my textbooks (not sure if I should try to OCR them or just leave them as jpegs), store them on my desktop computer, and access them remotely by wireless LAN. After all, I have far more free disk space than I need right now.

No, she debunked one of the central tenets of therapeutic touch. The practitioners of therapeutic touch claimed that they could sense the bio-electric field and know where it was out of whack and could manipulate the field in these areas to fix the problem. Apparently they only thought they could sense this field and were only touching random parts of the body, so even if there was some place where the bio-electric field was out of whack they would only find it by chance. All of this makes it highly unlikely that therapeutic touch can do anything.

So how many times has your dealer replaced your cam chain tensioner? Have you ever put soft bags on with an aftermarket exhaust, or are you afraid your sub-frame will collapse onto the rear wheel?
You just made up all of those terms, didn't you?

Sorry. It can't be anything so simple. You're forgetting the "necessary and proper clause" (sometimes called "the elastic clause"). I'm not saying you're wrong, just that lots of people will argue until you're half dead over where to draw the line between "necessary" and "unnecessary." It would take a lot of Supreme Court rulings to reverse the current trend (well, not just current since it's been happening since the Constitution was written) of expanding the power of the national government. I kind of like the idea of writing a new Constitution every 50 years. One problem with this is: who should write it? I say let the people with PhDs in the relevent areas should be write the Constitution rather than elected officials.

If their technology is advanced enough to facilitate space travel then certainly they should be smart enough to analyze everything in the probe in every possible way. If we found a space probe from another civilization filled with various artifacts we would analyze every bit of it to find any other messages that we might have missed due to a difference in senses?
