It has a Motorola Dragonball processor, so it looks like "Palm compatible" means same CPU. My iPaq uses Flash ROM just like my CD burner so I guess they are compatible with each other. If anyone can tell me how to burn CD's on my iPaq I'd really appreciate it.
Anonymous Coward! Is there any reason to use that tone? I simply stated that SSL uses ASN.1, and then you get abusive. You obviously don't get much social interaction in that ivory tower of yours.
And one that we all use most days: SSL.
ASN.1 is a syntax for specifying data structures. It has nothing to do with the actual encoding of the "bits on the wire". In fact, that is part of the reason for using ASN.1 for specifying data structures; you don't need to care about the encoding. It is ASN.1's related encoding rules such as BER (Basic Encoding Rules), DER (Distinguished Encoging Rules), and PER (Packed Encoding Rules) that specify how the data structures are encoded. I only work with BER/DER. It would be impossible to say much about anything in 2 bytes using those encoding rules since the first byte tells you what type of data is about to follow, and the next byte(s) tell you the length of the data. So you've used up at least 2 bytes before having said anything useful.
Great, you'd think after the uproar over the Y2K bug that they'd think far enough ahead to avoid this kind of thing. At least we have almost 7998 years to come up with a solution, though I'm sure most of us wont actually implement it until the November 9999.
Surely authentication and encryption are built into any wireless networking technology worth it's salt. Encryption is obviously needed to stop anyone from listening in, and authentication is needed to stop anyone from logging onto the network. Something as simple as SSL with some use management would do the trick. An example being that each client card would have an keypair, and you would teach the network to accept each client card just the same way that you can teach car alarms to accept different remotes. Simple really, not much more to say on the topic.
I'm serious. I'm sick of waiting in the waiting room for huge amounts of times when I made an appointment. I bet doctors would get pissed off if they made a booking at a restaurant and had to wait for an hour to get their table. It's just crap that you guys get so much education but yet don't learn time management or planning skills that they teach in 4 year engineering degrees.
This topic has nothing to do with ethics in consulting. There are "rotten apples" in every industry. It has nothing to do with the industries themselves. Just 'cause a postal worker shoots a lot of people doesn't make the important question "what should we do to make sure postal workers don't shoot people".
Those companies that pay people to watch banner ads would want this stuff wouldn't they!? They could then pay for 1c/second that you keep your eyes on the ad.
In Melbourne, Australia we have Electric Trolleys (aka Trams) running on many tram lines around the city. I personally don't like them since they slow down traffic to a major extent. When you get stuck behind a tram you can be stuck behind it for 10 minutes doing an average of 20km/h.
I bought a Reel Mower about 6 weeks ago. I have a house on a small block and therefore don't have much lawn to mow. Also, I don't like the fact that modern mowers slice'n'dice the grass a zillion time and pump "grass gas" into the atmosphere where it creates smog. The reel mower is easy to use, isn't too loud, and is better for the environment.
It's an LTWinModem. Part of my point is that Gateway should source the necessary components and provide a packaged install. They seem to do it with most of their other machines (even older, but quite similar models to mine, have Win2k support). I tried using the packages for those notebooks but it didn't work, and I'm not about to try to pick apart their installation. I paid a lot of money, I expect at least some support.
I know that there are updates out there, but I can't seem to get my hands on them. Two of the parts manufacturers say to contact the notebook manufacturer for an upgrade (ie. the OEM doesn't hand it out).
I installed from scratch.
That's crap (and when I say...)
Come on. I'm not talking about EVERY os, or even applications. Windows 2000 is the next version of NT. It had been in beta for quite some time before the notebook that I purchased was even available. I paid top dollar for the machine and expect the machine to keep up with newer technology for at least 6 months.
Gateway source the components (hw and sw) and sell a system. It is for them to make available updated sw components to allow the system to be used with current technology for some period after the machine is discontinued.
What if it shipped with a certain OS, and then major bugs were found with that OS and a patch released by the OS manufacturer. Would it be okay for the hardware company to not provide the necessary drivers to update to the fixed second edition? That's effectively the same thing here. It wasn't a bug issue, but 2000 was already available and is a very common upgrade. Hey, I even recall Gateway's Windows 2000 readiness info stating that machines xxx features (eg. ACPI) were Windows 2000 ready. Seems that ready to them doesn't mean fully compatible.
Even when Windows 2000 was released just 6 months after I bought my top-of-the-line notebook from Gateway, they tell me "well, we didn't ship it with Windows 2000, so we wont support it". I have issues with power management, the built-in modem, DVD,... I'm not buying Gateway again.
I wonder how they're going to control a number of these things. Hopefully not via satellite. 1sec ping times would really suck; you'd move to the left and fire, and see it updated on your screen, but then a second later the screen would have the real data and you'd find out that you've been fragged. Slow response pisses me off. I'm sure you'd here lots of "pilots" on the ground shouting f*ck as they lost their planes.

Put me down for one. Make that two, if you're ever not poor.

Oh, and I believe GSM (mobile phones) use ASN.1 PER for all communications.

But if you have heaps of batteries you could store a heap of energy from the blast.
Actually, it could.

They'd better get NEAR out of there quickly, 'cause "something wonderful is going to happen".

You can really move the data closest to the demand.

Surely checking the amount of memory at runtime and using a different algorithm based on that value is not too hard.
