And was not when Palm first came out, I keep my trusty Palm always with me. Ditto my wife.
On top of the standard organizer stuff I keep my current correspondence chess tournaments, Palmasutra (which has come handy in many ocassions;-) ), Metro for underground maps of cities I visit regularly, Secret! for encrypted data, a terminal emulator for emergencies in the server room, Quartus Forth for a bit of fun programming, and yes, games (amongst many other apps used as and when needed). I have to charge the thing only once a week, my older Palm III could go for a couple of weeks with rechargable batteries...
If Palm is going down it is not for lack of features or uses, the current economic situation could explain the situation better (If you need a PC, a printer and a Palm you most probably will leave the Palm at the end if you are short of money).
WHere and who should judge what is available or not, specially when it comes to political ideas?
Spain suffered 40 years of dictatorship, with all the censorship attached, it is sad to see that there are people in Spain that did not learn anything form this experience and are far too willing to commit the same mistakes.
ETA and its supporters should be fought with the arms of reason and eventual negotiation. When a group of people feel agravated (and many people in the Basque country obviosuly do, otherwise they would not be voting for Batasuna) suppression of ideas an elemental freedoms will not silence them and in the contrary, will give them more ammunition to condemn a goverment for repressive measures.
Most moderately good trained musicians can put in paper any piece of music they listen to.
Music need to be played, musicians memorize regularly loads and loads of music that they can commit to paper if needed.
What are all the RIAAs of this world going to do? Create robots to perform the music? Cut our ears? But then who will listen (and buy) their stuff?
The current way of doing things is over. The sooner they realize it the better. They are wasting far too long in a non issue, they should be creating a new business model.
As somebody that did not even think about the legal consequences of his software, in the first place (I read interviews in which he specifically says so) I don;t see why he would be all of the sudden interested in all the legalese.
He does not understand the posibilities his relative fame gives him to make important points about copyright issues and RIAA FUD. That is what happens when geeks become dissociated from politics. Please, don't do the same the rest of you.
There are too many incoungrences, problems and nasty side effects documented.
And there is also the conflict of interest of the Docs "selling" this procedure.
For all the inconveniences of glasses, you can't beat something: they are not invasive and don't attack your eyes in ways that could be harmful in the future (once you modify your eye it may very well be that if you require a procedure for a more serious illness in the future, your eyes would not be able to cope due to the lasik procedure).
Hiring for the future needs a solid past base.

I can't know what you can do unless I know what you have done before.
For me the most important part is past experience, that tells me very quickly who should be called for an interview and who should not.
If what you want to do is in line wuth what we want to do, all the power to you, but first I want to make sure you will be able to deliver. Past experience tells me if you can or not.
Um, KDE is really nice and my windowing system/manager of choice under Linux. But it's really not so "easy to use" "all the time" to the degree that Windows and Mac OS are.
And point and click is different in which sense in KDE?
I can't say Samba is easy to use Windows filesharing. Easy to use Windows filesharing is clicking on a button that says share files and seeing that folder show up in Network Neighborhood. It's not SWAT.
You are right. Also remember that simplicity is inversely proportional to usefulness and flexibility.
Slashdotism often wants to take from the producers of society and give it to everyone else. That's socialism.
In socialism the State is the owner of all the means of production.
In "Slashdotism" individuals contribute from their own accord to a project and they, and anybody else, are welcome to profit from it in innovative ways as long as copyright is strictly respected.
If vast amounts of people in India or Mexico are willing to do the same work for half the money (and believe me, those people are not servants) then the wages of people with similar skills in the US and Europe cease to be fair.
If we want free markets, we can't have our cake an eat it.
As much as I like the OppenOffice.org effort, one week is not enough time to evaluate a product and do not yet justifies to go around offering it to clients (unless they ask for an option that is).
Comments like yours sound terribly childish and do not help to give people working with OSS a better reputation as professional responsible people.
There is not such thing as a standard interface. There is such a thing like the interface *you* are used to work with.
Some programs become more popular and then some ideas are copied. That does not make the original idea an standard. An expert body lying guidelines for development does.
Slashdot Mirror
Engineers can be condescending with coders. We^h^hThey are higher in the food chain.

..., to force them to do what is perceived by their electorate as the right thing to do.
... then come back and tell us the same.
comes from where?
Somebody in this thread calculated the cost to fix all this (plus other nasty issues). Total: less than 4000.
Moron.
... in which way "visuals" improve the experience when buying a plane ticket?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I am still waiting for the first commercial site that uses "visuals" only to do business.
He, how are they going to describe their products? Or take your name and credit card with "visuals"?

So stop the bullshit.
People seriously supporting OS/Free software will be the first to fight piracy for several reasons.
The surprise to me would be that somebody serisouly involved in OS/Free software would be boasting about the latest pirated product in his collection.
If vast amounts of people in India or Mexico are willing to do the same work for half the money (and believe me, those people are not servants) then the wages of people with similar skills in the US and Europe cease to be fair.
If we want free markets, we can't have our cake an eat it.
You are crazy.
Lame comparison.
Bin Laden is rich.
Let me know if you want more.

The line manufacturing of cars is not a social movement, it is just a new industrial process.
The computer is just a fscking machine, it is not a social movement.
The steam engine is just a machine, not a social movement.
Yeah, I think I understand now. Stoopid me.
Most development is carried out internally by companies solving particular problems.
Where I work Perl, C++, C and many others are used (normally to run aplications served by Apache).
So loads of OS around and loads of programmers here.
.... the original poster asked us to do so perhaps?
Guess what, I got you this OSS based source code editing component.
Nooo! Nooo, pleassse. Don't thank me.
I use it with W98 (reluctantly, I run mostly Linux nowadays). No problems so far.
... "not for geeks" you don't understand? ;-P

512Mb of RAM vs 2GB
300MHz vs 1.7 GHz
Local SCSI disk vs RAID over fibre (just to complete the joke, tell us it is RAID 5).
What did you expect?
