I know it seems cliche, but I call my friend in Japan often (once or twice a month) and I used 10-10-987. Its pretty cheap. We'll talk for about 30mins and it only costs $3-4 USD.
I'll be visiting Japan in February and would Love to be the/.'er that sent a report back on these PDA's, yet I will not be flying into Tokyo. Instead I'll be in Nagoya.
I use my Gmail account for friends & family only. I have a yahoo account for my online subscriptions (including/.) and therefore don't really have a spam problem.
That is, unless, your referring to the 3-4 spam messages my Gmail account gets per week.
I work 40hrs a week in tech support, and as much as I enjoy my line of work, I'm also a trained musician (drummer). So, in my spare time, I will play at clubs & bars and get paid if I need the cash.
I know many others that use their talents outside of IT make extra cash. Most of them are musicians.
aside from the (previously mentioned) dick jokes, I don't think grip is really key here. The main issue I've always had is accuracy in movement.
This is why I prefer to play PC games with an optical mouse. The accuracy of my mouse is far greater than any other game contoller i've used in the past or present. Also, i can cusomize my mouse movement & acceleration in more detail than a controller.

www.OrangeSmoothie.com created the OSP mod for both Q3 & RTCW. There is a server generator that will let you create your server using a 'point & click" user tool. Its easy to start and allows you to create a server that's quick & easy for multiplayer.
The newest releases of Quake and RTCW have punkbuser (made by evenBalance.com) that has come along way in terms of preventing cheats & hacks.
Also, any game you come across is going to have very skilled players. But there are usually servers out there for us newbs.

I know I've had too much Quake III, when often used to dream of insagibbing my friends.
Although good dreams, I knew I needed to back off a bit.
I know it seems cliche, but I call my friend in Japan often (once or twice a month) and I used 10-10-987. Its pretty cheap. We'll talk for about 30mins and it only costs $3-4 USD.
Then add another ~$1000(last I checked) for the flightticket.
I just scored a round-trip fare from Atlanta to Nagoya for $780 USD (TAX INCLUDED) using a Japanese travel agency.
It used to be expensive, but if you look in the right places, your free PDA could be on the horizon.

I use trillian myself, but since it handles things almost exactly like AIM, its possible that it could share the same security holes.
It was directed by Christopher Nolan who also directed MEMENTO.
Here some stats on Batman Begins
On a side note, for those of you who doubt Christian Bale's ability to play the dark night, should check out Equilibrium
Now with even MORE endings!
Just because it's sponsored by its label, doen't make it good music.
Support your local music scene & independant radio stations. That's where the REAL talent is.

When does it know when to start recording?
If it looks like an ad, feels like an ad, or smells like an ad...
I won't read it anyway.
I swear I saw this on TV the other day...

now they'll steal our jokes like:
"Someone set us up the Bombay"
market dominance.
Slashdot has feelings? Next I am expected to give her flowers, say nice things and nibble her ear...
I would, if the OP is that German girl from "Eurotrip"... yum.
I wish I had more opportunity to do this at work. Being able to separate yourself and focus on your work without being distracted it a heaven-sent.
Alas, I'm on a helpdesk. That doesn't work out too well.
Does it have a silent backgoud noise so that the other person can actually hear me?
"Bookiokie" has been know to pop-up in the occasional library (after hours, of course).
...not to mention, the massive amount of web code (like guesbook scripts & formail) that can be exploited to relay spam as well.

So many broadband & other high-speed connections left wide open that can relay data.
we would never have the tomes of the BOFH.
As a help desk professional, I deal with stress daily, its how I manage it that counts.

How does this technology know what a commerial is, when it begins and when it ends?
