My parents just bought a 'smart-house' for pennies on the dollar because no-body would touch a house where the phones and lights are controlled by a thingy in a closet. My dad is as big of a nerd as I am (runs in the family), so he bought it and later learned what it cost to build, he paid less then cost for a brand new house.
Technology like 'smart-homes' is around, but people are still afraid of it. There arn't standards and it does 'crash' on occation. (we had a false CO alarm once)
I had to quit (in disgust) RadioShack because I was the only guy who knew what any of the things they sold there were. Sure, they could sell cellphones, but replacing the batteries was a seminar our manager held. They had me working 50hour+ weeks as a part-timer in the summer. I was 17!!!

My design has changed because I do not profess to be an aeronautical engineer of any sort, and as I have proceeded, I have allowed myself to make the necessary changes resulting in a better design.
Alright, so I buy one of these, and it rips my CDs, thats alright.
My friend comes over w/ her CDs and we play them in MY player, and it rips those too. Now what? I just pirated music w/o intent, but I still did 'steal' the music. Oye.
Then there are the people who don't consider gravity as a 'wave'. If true, it would mean he wasted someone's money.
But best of luck to the guy/gal, we also must remember that anything heavier than air WILL NOT fly, and men who go into space won't be able to swallow.
Well, not really a PDA, but does everything like a PDA. OQO Thingy I know/. had a long discusion about this toy, but because oqo is a three letter word, the slashdot search engine doesnt index it. Anyway, back to the OQO, if this doesn't become vaporware, it might be worth it. Check out the site. (not a plug)
Slashdot Mirror
Do you know of one for PC (Dare i say it, winders). A quick googling hasnt turned up anything.

This is a mirror, please be gentle.

The Aussies are going to be mighty riled when they see thier bandwidth bill and their cooked server. Just LOOK at all those HUGE (1600x1200) pictures!
when your stripping wires(with teeth ofcourse!), they have to be in your mouth.
The scoundreles that inflicted so much pain cannot hurt us any more, but we must find it in our hearts to forgive them.
We will never forget 9/11/01, but holding a grudge against a people is counter productive if we are really trying for World Peace.

w/ a 10 gig hdd, doubtful. UNLESS you can dump a larger HDD into it, which would make it kickass, i agree.
and at only 22 pages...he MUST be a scientist! :)
I'm sorry.
