I know some companies had a hell of a time getting in large orders (over half a million $$). It was like Oracle didn't want money for their hardware.
I'm thinking this was by design, so that one quarter would look better/worse than others.
Yes, the 810 is an excellent unit. Does lots of things well, lots of things so-so.
PDF and eBook is so-so. Don't get me wrong it is very usable-- that is what I mainly use one for now, that and email.
But I am coveting the Kindle I bought my wife for her birthday. It much much much easier to read a book on the Kindle than the n810. There is more screen and the screen so much easier on the eyes. I love that eInk stuff. Just keep it out of the direct sunlight or you have little evil kindles running all over the place. But the little evil kindles are much better than the Vashta Nerada that come in with our hard copy books.
the cracks are from the water in the ground freezing underneath the asphalt and the natural expanding of the water molecules that rips the asphalt in two. But, asphalt stretches a lot more than cement (and "cracks" shouldn't be frequent), is more easily repaired than cement, and so is generally preferred over cement in these kinds of locations, aka, Alaska. The two most detrimental things to asphalt roads? studded tires and frost heaves. The most detrimental things to cement roads? Frozen ground that thaws and tips those concrete sections so that they don't line up.

and do what you want with it. It's a PC-- that is Personal Computer. Warranty, schmarranty. Next time, just pick the pieces you want and assemble it yourself and save a grand or two...
Respect is earned. If my daughters's teacher is a complete idiot, I will tell them so.
No, no, no. The Teacher-- no hell, your fellow wo|man-- should have you and your children's respect to start with. If your kids can't respect anyone because they haven't earned it, then how are they going to be able to respect his|her certain inalienable rights?
A teacher who has a room full of kids who gives him|her no respect and who has no authority (which they hardly have now, either) will not be able to teach a damn thing.
Respect does not mean dumb subjectivity.
Whether or not they can keep and maintain that respect is up to them. The stupid teacher who made the comment about redheads lost all respect and needs to retire from teaching.
just added DES Store over lunch. It was fine for a few hours and then I pushed the envelope a little (don't recall now exactly what I was doing) and it died on me. Totally hung.
Had to do a hard reset, lost my data, and I don't have my USB cable handy.
Sigh...
That does bring up another complaint: why don't the other reset options (soft|system) work? why does it always have to be a hard reset?
I just upgraded from my Palm IIIc and motorola 270.
I love the slimming-down of the bat belt.
I chose the 180g for several reason:
1- it's smaller than the other Treo's
2- it has the graffiti area instead of the stupid keypad
Cons:
1- it's gray scale, not color like I was used to. But I think I will adjust
2- processor is a little slow. But I think I can deal with it.
Overall, I am pretty satisfied. It cost me $100 shipped, was unlocked, and worked immediately with Cingular but will also work with T-Mobile and AT+T.
I have had some issues with crashing... but these seem to be all going back to corrupt records in my calendar or contacts. I've cleaned up and haven't had a problem in days (I had phone less than a week). It was nasty there for the first two days.
I am just now at the stage that I am starting to add my applications back to the phone.
I have an BA in English, but I am male, I am not wussy, etc.
There was treatise quite some time ago, probably written tongue in cheek, about the inordinate amount of BA's who gravitate towards the Unix environment; English students in particular. It was naturally well thought-out and well written. It was as if the author knew me!
I went beyond custom shelving. I did a beautiful built-in shelving. You have to use an interior wall, not exterior.
1. Cut big hole in sheet rock-- for aesthetic reasons you probably should go about the same size as other windows, but bigger is ok-- it will look like a monster picture window on the interior wall. Oh yeah, do your best to make sure you don't have power and/or pipe problems. I had to re-route a power cable, but not too bad.
2. Cut out some 2x4 framing, but probably not all. I left one in the middle and dressed it up with trim/quarter round; it looks good like a piece of window framing.
3. Prime, paint inside piece of sheetrock (this is the backside of the wall on the other side). Mine is real nice color of blue. It looks great and is striking from the white wall and shelving. If you know someone artistic, have them do mural or something.
4. Build shelving frame and pieces and nail'em in.I framed the top, bottom, and sides exactly the same as the shelves themselves. It's big box I assembled in the wall, with shelves.
Mine sticks out from the wall about an inch and half-- fits those old stupid fancy VHS cases perfectly, as well as dvd's, picture frames, books, etc. You get a bit over five inches if I remember correctly. The bottom three shelves are just tall enough for those stupid moster VHS tape boxes, and the upper two or three are different sizes to accomodate big 8x10 frames, books, etc. It is now media storage and display case.
5. Stand back and soak in the admiration of family and visitors.
Tools needed: measuring tape, pencil, table saw or similar, hammer, paint brush, spackle knife, hand saw for frame removal, router if you need to make some fancy trim to cover a frame piece left in (I also routed slots for the shelves), brain.
I'm supporter of gpl software (or is openldap gnu? nevermind) but this may be a case where it pays to pay for the software.
SunOne/IPlanet/Netscape directory server has a nice gooey GUI for adding/searching/modifying. Searches can be done via web-browser...
So, just make an OU for contacts, dump the contacts in with Perl, create accounts for your salesy people and give them admin privilege of the contacts ou. It'll take a little time to get all the bugs worked out and lusers trained, but it will be functional from the start. I think.
Then you hire someone to come in and write a couple of little Perl CGI's using the PerlDap module or the variety of others available. I've been messing around with one that allows lusers to update a few of their records via Apache (perl modules CGI, PerLdap; Apache module mod_auth_ldap). Not too hard.
You are trying to be helpful, and I appreciate that. But if you have lots of trees and DON'T water, then you are going to have lots of problems with roots coming up, breaking slabs, driveways, sidewalks, roads, etc. You better water those trees even better than the grass!
I hate to to do this to this wonderful discussion, but I must offer a correction to your sig: The problem with computer viruses is they don't select the unskilled users out of the population.
It should read: The problem with computer viruses is they don't remove the unskilled users out of the world|online|general population.

Next mission-- kopi luwak (cat poop) coffee made with filtered human urine water! talk about the cupping characteristics of that brew!

On another note, check out the possible 25th anniversary DeLorean!
Besides, the boss sounds like a six-fingered ROUS.

They could have a really cool symbole and we could all still call it mandrake... or DKM, DFKM, DFKAM...

That is much more clearer... don't you think?
