Review: 'Titan A.E.'
·
· Score: 1
A couple of the more obvious problems: good points deleted
How about:
Spaceship gets hit by huge ice crystal, shattering crystal and breaking off a fin. Spaceship doesn't even rotate or get deflected. Give that man a ticket for breaking Newton's law!
Said ice crystal exists in a field of huge crystals which are constantly colliding - but no small crystals or ice 'dust' exist!
I'm feeling even older. My High School, offers a course in Genetic Engineering. They use human cells. When I graduated (20 years ago) this would have been illegal (and probably immoral, expensive, and fattening)!
US Military test pilots aren't stupid people. Most of them have advanced degrees in aeronautics or aeuronautical engineering -- at the insistance of the military or aerospace firm they work for.
...
Or not... In truth, I suspect the first few questions would really be something like "You're kidding me, right? Do you think I'm crazy? Would you be willing to fly this deathtrap?"
In the flight test programs I was associated with, the software had to meet several hurdles before it got near an aircraft. After unit test, and integration test, there was batch mode tests on a hardware testbed, then man-in-the-loop testing in a $Million simulator. When the test pilots accepted the results of their sim time, a final review was held and flight testing could begin.
Are you looking for a Babelfish-like translator, with sentence to sentence translation? Or is an English-Insert Language Here-English dictionary enough? I know the Palm OS platform (Palm, Handspring, and TRG) have some excellent examples of the latter. They might have some of the former as well. Search for "dictionary" or "translation" at Palmgear.

QNX Crypt Cracked

· Score: 1
1) Isn't QNX produced by a Canadian corporation?
2) Doesn't QNX predate almost all *Nixes, except possibly BSD with AT&T entanglements?
Even so, I'd guess they went their own way because they wanted to run on lightweight hardware. You kids today, you're so spoiled. In my day, 16 bits was a luxury! And we had to heat our own hot grits!
Sheesh following up on my own post - sure sign of senility.
A commercial alternative is Corporate Time by CS&T. They offer a Palm Conduit. There is a Unix -based server and clients for WinXX. There is also excellent web-based access. See http://www.cst.ca.
Groupsync GroupSync enables groups of Palm device users to share information in their handheld databases during the normal HotSync process through the use of configurable conduits. Shared categories are subject to different access levels and privacy restrictions.
Features include: - Full access or read only synchronization between users' categories - 3 levels of restriction on Private Records* - Category manipulation from the desktop (Native Datebook users can have categories too!) - Optional record tagging for clarity** - Automatic detection of mapping conflicts to ensure unauthorised indirect access is avoided - Synchronization with users of remote desktops (over a LAN) - Dynamic updating of both local and remote Palm Desktop displays.
* Datebook only, 2 levels for other databases. **Datebook only
There are three parts to the GroupSync package, namely the GroupSync desktop tool, the GroupSync Conduits and the GroupSync Remote Server. The GroupSync desktop tool does not replace the Palm Desktop but works in conjunction with it.
Yes, I saw you don't want a web system. If you exhaust all other possibilities, try WeSync. WeSync is a web-based system that requires a special viewer on the palm.
Others have suggested My Yahoo. Before you try them, search deja for the fun you'll face. Currently syncing seems to be renaming categories, and Support isn't answering emails...
www.wirelessdimensions.com - compare up to 5 phones at a time, then quicklink to the ones that interest you. Also pretty detailed info on who your local providers are, and what specials they're offering.
Sure, Shockley et al got a Nobel prize for the transistor. But it's been the microchip which has increased the pace of modern life. It military terms, it is a 'force multiplier'. Better communications and better computers have made possible advances in basic science and in engineering. So credit Robert Noyce and Jack Kilby who (independently) found ways to put multiple transistors on a single substrate.
..I personally feel that stealth is a bad way to play the game. Cheaper unmanned vehicles is far better....fly more, who cares if they shoot a few down...
Except, of course, that the US Navy and Air Force are run by men who got where they are by being hot-shit pilots...

Copyright!

· Score: 1
The solution to increasing copyright durations is simple. Let the copyright holder specify the duration, up to a limit allowed by law.
Then require them to depreciate the expenses incurred creating the material over the life of the copyright...
Wonder how long until music CD's come with a shrink wrap license agreement? After all, the terms of the Home Recording act could be rendered moot if you 'voluntarily' entered into an agreement that superseded them. Expect the entrenched record companies to fight this ruling tooth and nail...
Interesting factoids from _Rolling Stone_'s article on MP3 this month: - most bands make about 10% on album sales - most bands don't even break even until 500,000 are sold - bands' revenue is primarily from concerts and paraphenalia (the dreaded black concert t-shirt!)

My digital camera uses nice cheap compact flash. Why can't a I get a standard palm top (read: PalmOS) that will use compact flash?
Because you're not smart enough to type
palm, and compact flash into a search engine?
Hint: TRG Pro.
