if you're running a networking OS you can check out http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~echobase/index.h tml
and it will tell you how to network your palm to your computer through the cradle.
Then check out http://www.palm.com/support/downloads/netsync.html
and it will tell you how to hotsync over a network. At this point all you have to do is go to the hotsync manager on your desktop and turn off local sync and turn on network sync. Then take your palm, go to the hotsync menu; select the modem sync prefs; set to network. You then half to fiddle with a few other options the palm explains quite well on their site. Only downside to this setup is when you hotsync you can't push the button on the cradle. Instead you have to open the hotsync program on the palm, select modem, and push the big hotsync button. Don't know if this will work for linux as I haven't tried. But if it works on w2k then with a little bit of work it will probably work that much better with linux.
this letter feels more like a public relations than anything worth while. first it spends no time talking about black and white quantum policy - whenever he talks of policy he uses terms like "will pay special attention to" and "In general, we support." can you get anymore wishywashy. Then he dedicates almost a third of the letter to complimenting to complimenting Russ and how Russ the "only one actually giving a rational reason." the author may be saying that you're so smart but he's thinking how your so gullible. anyone who goes through the trouble of writing this letter without actually saying anything solid has something to hide. I'm not saying blackball quantum because of this letter but please don't praise them either.
from what I can tell Nvidia is not aquireing 3dfx; it is only purchaseing most of its assets. 3dfx plans to dissolve the company. I'm not sure what this means for 3dfx share holders but I'm pretty sure you don't end up with cheap Nvidia stocks.
Give this to a baby, and I'm willing to bet they'll develop its use just as fast as any other appendage's motor control, and as an adult will use it with as much precision as their other hand. But give this to an adult, and I doubt they'll ever get fully used to it like their other hands, and learning the basics would take much more time.
although I agree with you that you are probably right about children being able to use the hand far easier I think there is a valid argument for sugesting the opposite. consider the fact that in experiments adults tend to suffer from phantom appendages for a much greater period of time. this is due to the same principle that you argued on - that neurons in a childs brain are forming, and reforming at a much higher rate. if particular neurons in a childs brain are not used (ie the motor neurons in question) then the child may lose use of these neurons for life (hence lazy eyes). if you give the prosthetic appendage to an adult the proper motor neurons may still be in place leaving the adult the task of refineing his control. the refinement process will obviously be much easier to a child but the adult does appear to have a head start (or a hand up). ultimately the child will probably prove to have a far simpler time I am simply pointing out that the arguement is not as simple as language and can therefore not be treated as a perfect parallel.
again this statement is undeveloped. obviously capitalism prefers open, real, and market-driven competition over forced government mandated handouts to your potential competitors.
but if capitalism "requires" open, real, and market-driven competition what happens if such a competion does not exist? does the system suddenly shift to something other than capitalism. if so, then since capitalism is still the prefered system, isn't it better to mandate competition so that one day this competition can grow into being "open, real, and market-driven." then the required factor is back and we have capitalism again.
please choose your phrasing... when you use a word like requires you suggest a consequence but you don't develop it
it is easy to conceive of a system that could be built from bottom up (it would not need to be a sophisticated system so it could be completely incompatable with public computers) that would give a much more accurate reading of how people voted; but what would this accomplish. if a techno savvy/. public has its doubts in such a system then how could the technophobes of america ever have confidence in the number.
ultimately confidence is more important than accuracy or efficiency. all the system needs is a people that has an understanding of statistics. then people would have greater confidence in these numbers that are already there. although the lead seems very insignicant the possible error due to improppery plugged cards -which is found through a hand vote- is even more insignificant. (that is if you assume that plugging incompitance has 0 correlation with party affiliation). If you do the math and did a full manual recount across florida (using numbers from the hand recount that has already been done) then people would realize that there is a less than 1% chance that the lead would change by more than 300 votes. math wins again - when all things are equal error tends to cancel error.
Capitialism requires competition - but not forced competiton.
This statement conflicts with itself. If capitalism requires competition - and capitalism is desired - then competition must be "forced" if it is not realized on its own. Any basic logic course could tell you this. The statement you were trying to make is "Capitalism must allow for competition but does not require it; hence competition need not be forced." This is a debateable statement (although it is wrong, it is still debateable) but if competition is required then it must be forced. This is why monopoly laws exist
well last time you checked must have been before your state joined the republic because you do not live in a democracy. You live in a constitutional republic. Generally this is considered a fairer distribution of power than a direct democracy because it means that national policy does not fall to the whim of a single state. with out california bush has the popular vote (although only slightly). although I voted gore I can still see how this would be wrong. we have to be careful not to let our allegances cloud our common sence.

it occurs to me that google already does this. They have a cache of every page found by their search engine.
