If you don't want a normal modem link, you can get digital data service on a GSM phone. With a vibrating phone/battery, you can get paged by the phone. Then to call back you connect the iPAQ to the phone (wire or IR).
The fact you're missing: Not all stories go on the front page.
On the front page you only see those stories which the Editors approve for the front page. For all other accepted stories, you only see them in the Slashbox for that topic -- or in "Older Stuff" which shows all accepted articles.
Yup, you can use a tool to accomplish a job without having to know everything about the tool. How many of us have been using microwave ovens for years but don't know exactly how it works? How are the microwaves created? Why are there hot spots? Why do some foods warm up faster? Why can't I cook faster by feeding it double the voltage?
And if you think you want to be self-sufficient, dig up an old copy of "Spacehounds of IPC", where the hero has to do things such as build a generator by smelting copper, building a wire-pulling machine, manufacture electrical insulation, making bearings, inventing a lubricant, building a coil-winding machine, then building the generator...

"For all the winners there are losers. Remember you don't win unless there is some one out the BUYing the stock from you."
There's no problem selling the stock if you bought a stock which has a reasonable value. The real losers are the people who bought stock which lost most of its value -- but the losers do not affect the other companies much. Except for the dividends (company profits) which are pumped out of your stock -- or pumped back in if you reinvest them. And in the meantime your real job, and the non-catastrophic companies, are creating more wealth which gets scattered around in various ways.
It would take a lot of fuel to break Earth orbit. However, it would be nice to drop it on the Moon where its refined metals could be useful in the future. Maybe NASA could start using it to test propulsion systems -- have the last cosmonauts hang a remote-controlled tether on it so its solar panels can be used to try to boost its orbit, then start sending up ion and plasma drives to clamp on and test in space...
I agree. Burning up Mir did not seem decent to me.

Iridium Saved?

I was also amused to see the "industry segments" humanitarian and adventure. I know what they mean, but it echoes a few extra times in my semantic network.
Bumper sticker: "This is MY Iridium satellite. I nudged it to this orbit fair and square. Iridium abandoned it, and I claimed it. Go find your own bird."
"1337" upside down on a calculator is obviously "LEE!", a reference to Lee Majors, the Six Million Dollar Man. Obviously the poster thinks that the device has a lot of power, although it expresses that power in slow motion.
Well, the number of votes was 84% of something. But you don't know how many people created that number of ballots. In theory, one person created each vote. That's fine, in theory.
Did anyone else think of Dale Brown's book "Hammerheads"? An anti-drug unit starts using the tilt-rotor V-22 Osprey with great success. They add on smaller remote-controlled versions for patrolling. Some operators drop candy on parachutes to recreational boaters (good public relations) which were being examined, while supervisors would prefer the public not realize that those oversized toys carry lethal weapons.
If you have a network of planes chatting with each other with radio, someone will toss at your network some missiles which fly at any radio transmitter. (Someone will come up with a cute acronym for a HARM which is designed for this job)
Hey, don't delete duplicate stories! I was about to go read the comments to the second story but it has vanished in a puff of greasy black smoke... Couldn't you just move it off the front page, with a comment appended?

There's also StarOffice Schedule. The StarOffice FAQ #14 says the network schedule server is included on CD-ROMs.
StarOffice Schedule Server? (scheduling across the network requires installing a server which is on a CD-ROM)
If shared calendars are wanted, that's also available in StarOffice Schedule. You have to install a Schedule Server, of course.

When I was 13, if I wanted an interrupt I had to solder the wire to carry it...I hope in ten years a PC won't be able to have an IRQ conflict...

"Satellite 2, look in that direction." (it looks over there, which rotates a flat panel to reflect the Sun at satellite 1)
Qbe Vivo specifications. It's a tablet, so dimensions are similar to a thick magazine.
Bill who?

There was a map in USA Today yesterday of which voting systems are used all counties in the USA.
Well, the number of votes was 84% of something. But you don't know how many people created that number of ballots. In theory, one person created each vote. That's fine, in theory.
In some places, the polls stay open until the people who were in line at closing time are done voting.
Will his judge allow it? Or as a felon is he not allowed to vote anyway?

The site is /.ed at the moment. Did anyone notice a price?
So now I have a choice between this and a wireless joystick on a headband.
